Use your iPad on deadline to cull, caption and send your photos
CardFlow for iPad is a deadline photo workflow you can take into the field.
Ingest from a card reader, receive photographs live from the camera over FTP, cull on a contact sheet, caption with the same professional IPTC tools as Mac, rename, Quick Edit, and deliver—without a laptop on the sideline.
CAMERA FTP — LIVE SERVER
• Start an FTP server on iPad from the toolbar
• Choose a job folder, refresh the IP address, and point the camera at the host
• Photographs land in the folder as they transmit; the contact sheet updates as files arrive
• Built for travel-router and Ethernet setups used on assignment
• Help → Walkthroughs covers Camera FTP, card ingest, and Live Ingest
INGEST AND LIVE INGEST
• Ingest from SD and CFexpress readers, external drives, Files, or Photos
• Verify copies and keep RAW+JPG+XMP together
• Live Ingest from a watch folder or Photos album for Camera Port and similar workflows
• Apply XMP/IPTC templates during ingest
• Optional backup destination for a second verified copy
CONTACT SHEET AND QUICK EDIT
• Touch-first culling: tag, rate, color class, filter, and sort
• Large preview with zoom and pan
• Quick Edit for exposure, color, crop, and straighten, with locked crop ratios
• HEIF/HEIC alongside JPG and RAW
PROFESSIONAL IPTC
• Full IPTC editor with TEMPLATE, SNAP, AUTO, and CODE in the toolbar
• Reusable XMP templates for agency and personal caption sets
• IPTC snapshot — take a finished caption and paste it onto the next frames
• Autocomplete while you type; Return and Tab accept the suggestion
• Code replacement inserts roster names and codes at the cursor
• Embed IPTC in JPG; write XMP sidecars for RAW
RENAME AND DELIVER
• Pattern-based rename with remembered settings
• Send/Export with saved FTP destinations, file size limits, and resize options
• Share through AirDrop, Mail, Messages, and Files
One purchase includes CardFlow for Mac as well.
The photo management, caption, and workflow apps has been ruled by another app for a very long time. For the first time there is a new champ in town. CarFlow works extremely well in what it does and I can easily replace the other app and I am not missing anything. The developer is very open to bug reports and fixes them immediately. I cannot wait to see what this app will become over time.
Excellent app
Andy ABD
Works with Mac and iPad seamless. I can also FTP to my laptop or iPad directly only sending selected images or sending them all as well too, directly from the camera, no removing the card.
Photo culling fast!
iPhone is Great!
Great app that replaces the old standard. Perfect to go through your large photo shoots. No subscription sold me!
Great App
Clem Brûlée
Super useful app that will speed up your workflow if you have to deal with sorting and culling photos. A real time-saver.
In-camera stars show up as tags. Camera-locked frames are tagged on the copied folder. A large card finishes and the sheet opens. Dark frames stay visible. Tagging a JPEG no longer turns the frame black. A folder copied by an older TestFlight build needs a fresh ingest for those locks to become tags.
Ingest starts and finishes without the long pause before and after the copy. Original crop stays locked to the photograph.
