Support for external screens has also improved — connecting your iPhone or iPad to a display via cable or AirPlay instantly converts it into a wireless monitor for your images as you shoot!
Automatic Image Importing with Storage Links
Cascable’s new “Storage Links” allow you to automatically copy images from your camera to a chosen destination as they become available.
For cameras that support wireless tethering, this means hands-free, instant importing!

Whether your iPhone is full, you want to quickly hand off images to someone else, or you just want to have a backup of your images for safekeeping, simply connect your SanDisk iXpand drive and it’ll appear right in Cascable.
Additionally, using storage links, you can link your iXpand to Cascable’s storage for instant and automatic backups, or even directly to your camera to automatically copy images from your camera to external storage!
View and Apply Image Ratings
View on-camera image ratings (where supported by the camera), and apply IPTC ratings to images once they’re inside Cascable.
Massively Improved Flexibility
Cascable is now more flexible — customise your layout between an image-dense grid or a list that includes image metadata, and adjust thumbnail size, sort order, and more! On iPad, choose between split or single screen for easy copying and management between multiple sources or more photos onscreen.

Major New Feature: Greatly Improved RAW Display
iOS 10 brings with it greatly improved RAW support, which means Cascable gets to join in the fun! If you’re running a modern iOS device with iOS 10, Cascable now displays supported RAW files with an increased color depth and quality, which looks great on all devices but it really shines on devices supporting the Display P3 extended color gamut like the 9.7” iPad Pro!
Major New Feature: Quick Proof
Introducing a new feature we’re really excited about: Quick Proof! With Quick Proof, you can apply adjustments to your images within Cascable for exporting and sharing. Currently, Cascable has the following adjustments: Exposure, Highlight and Shadow recovery, White Balance, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpen and Vignette. Quick Proof also works with our new RAW renderer, meaning you have deep color, full resolution RAW editing right on your iOS device! We’re really looking forward to seeing what sort of mobile workflows this feature unlocks for our users. Quick Proof requires iOS 10 and a modern iOS device - iPhone 6 or iPad Air 2 or higher. For detailed information, please see the Cascable 2.1 blog post on our website.

Batch selection! Select one or more files on your camera and delete or download them all at once.
-
Quick Select! Tap “Quick Select” and you can quickly select all, none, or some of your files. Want to copy all of your RAW files taken in past week? You can do this is a few taps!

-
Files mode now knows when files are protected and won’t allow you to delete them.
