I wish Hasselblad devices could work in connected mode in Lightroom Classic like Capture One. Is it possible?

The interesting this is that, as of last month, it might have become easier for Lightroom Classic to add more and/or better tethering support for more cameras. For many years, Lightroom Classic relied on the manufacturers’ tethering SDKs and were limited by what they could do and when they were updated by the manufacturer.

But last month, Adobe announced that they were moving to a different tethering model that no longer relies directly on the camera manufacturers. Terry Lee White of Adobe talks about that starting at 13:21 in the video below:

We’re moving to an open standard, an open ISO standard for how the tethering works across our different platforms…and what that means is you should see newer cameras being able to tether into Lightroom Classic without as long a wait as we used to have to do because again we’re no longer tied to that SDK…

However, what we still do not know is how high of a priority they think it is to support tethering with Hasselblad cameras.

but I feel like LRC is really more focused on consumer photographers and influencers, while Capture One is more aimed at professionals and serious amateurs.

I don’t think that’s true. Lightroom Classic is often considered challenging and a little overwhelming for casual users, with lots of tiny controls and obscure options for advanced users, and limited support for consumer workflows like social media. And Classic is used by many professionals.

Lightroom – the cloud-based version – is the one more focused on consumer photographers and influencers. You can see that in the way Lightroom is much more oriented toward seamless sync with mobile devices and direct sharing to social media, and the inclusion of consumer/social features like Learn, Community, Following (other users), and Remix which are all deemed unimportant and not included in the pro-oriented Lightroom Classic.

At this time, Hasselblad cameras cannot be tethered to Lightroom Classic.

I saw Capture One's announcement about their latest update and support for Hasselblad devices, as well as the connected mode that will arrive a little later. I must say that I am a little shaken and thinking. Can we hope that Lightroom classic will do the same?

Sure you can hope, but no one knows if or when this might happen. (Actually, Adobe knows but they don’t announce what new features they are working on in advance.)

I may be wrong, but I feel like LRC is really more focused on consumer photographers and influencers, while Capture One is more aimed at professionals and serious amateurs.

I think you are wrong.
