IPTCPhotoSender vs PressKit

[From the Developer] As a news agency photographer, I built this app for my own daily work — to send images to the desk instantly from iPhone or iPad, and help photographers deliver breaking news faster. Shoot. Caption. Send. Straight from the field, in seconds. IPTCPhotoSender is the all-in-one wireless workflow for press and sports photographers. With a BUILT-IN FTP SERVER, your camera sends photos straight into the app — no separate receiver app and no computer needed. Add IPTC captions and credits with reusable templates, then transmit to your desk over FTP, all on your iPhone or iPad. RECEIVE WIRELESSLY - Built-in FTP server receives photos directly from FTP-capable cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony, and more). - No tethering app or PC needed — connect the camera and start shooting. - Quick-connect to your camera's Wi-Fi from within the app, and save multiple named profiles to switch channels at busy venues with one tap. (Auto-connect is verified on Canon; other cameras with an access-point mode should work too.) - Free camera connection settings and step-by-step guides on our support site. VOICE TAGS (AUDIO MEMOS) - Voice annotations recorded on the camera are received paired with their photos. - Play them back on the photo editing screen, in both the Photos and Sent tabs. - On sending, a voice tag stays linked to its photo and is delivered as a pair, so your spoken notes travel with the image. IPTC METADATA & TEMPLATES - 20 IPTC fields; choose which are shown and in what order. - Save reusable templates and apply them to all, selected, or individual photos. - Gap-free sequence numbering: {Seq} / {Jseq} are assigned at the MOMENT OF SENDING, in capture-time order, and only to photos you actually transmit — so the last number is your exact sent count. Once assigned, a number stays locked even if you edit and resend. {Edate} / {Jdate} add dates automatically. - Date/Time Created filled automatically from capture time, with the correct time zone. - Lossless embedding — EXIF, maker notes, and image quality are preserved (no re-compression). CODE REPLACEMENTS (Photo Mechanic compatible) - Import game/event code files, or add your own personal codes in the app. - Type a short code and it expands to the full text on apply. - Sample codes are included. FAST EDITING & REVIEW - Full-screen preview to recognize shots at a glance. - Swipe or tap between photos; scroll position is kept, so you can compare the same field across frames. - Pinch-to-zoom the full image to check focus. - Crop, voice-tag playback, and per-photo actions. SEND & SHARE - Send all, send only the selected photos, or send a single photo — stop any time. - RAW / original send mode for unprocessed files. - Share the metadata-embedded photo or the original via AirDrop / Mail / Messages. - Multiple FTP server profiles. - Sent list with resend and share. BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Screen Guard locks the screen while receiving or sending, so a stray touch won't interrupt a transfer. - If a server or connection is briefly unstable, sending auto-retries to push through (up to 4 attempts with increasing waits), showing transfer progress and retry status. - Export / import templates to share with colleagues. - Fully bilingual: English and Japanese.

PressKit takes a press photographer from card to picture desk without a detour through a laptop. Import straight from the card, keep only the frames you locked in-camera, caption them to wire standard, and send them by FTP or SFTP — on a Mac, an iPad, or a phone in the back of a car. CAPTION TO WIRE STANDARD • Every IPTC field the desks require, none omitted • Templates for the assignment, so you type the shared facts once • Variables and code replacement expand as you type • Writes IPTC and XMP together, so any picture desk reads them the same BUILT FOR THE PACE OF THE JOB • Import only camera-locked frames — your in-camera picks, nothing else • The core workflow is a few keystrokes; everything has a shortcut • An external keyboard on iPad is first-class FILE FROM ANYWHERE • FTP and SFTP, with per-desk connection settings • Send a wire-sized JPEG from a RAW without a round trip • See the file size before it goes NON-DESTRUCTIVE Your RAW files are never modified. Metadata goes to an XMP sidecar; JPEG and HEIF get correct embedded IPTC. WORKS OFFLINE Only sync and sending need a network. Everything else works in a stadium basement.
