Original description:
Both Lightroom and Aperture allow tethered shooting for cameras which support it: the user can take photos while the camera is connected live to the computer via USB, the user can see results on a large screen immediately and photos can be captured to the hard drive directly. Some cameras will even provide a live preview before a shot is taken. Bruno Girin explained some of the advantages on the mailing list:
Such a feature would make Shotwell a fantastic tool for studio work, where you want to be able to take a picture, check the results immediately on a good size screen, correct the shot, take another picture, etc. Providing that facility in Shotwell, which also manages the photo library, would mean that you could potentially tag them on the fly with details of the shoot and import them straight through. I've done that on a Mac using the software provided with Canon SLR cameras and it really makes a studio workflow a lot more streamlined.
It would be nice to have this capability in Shotwell.

This is how I want to implement the UI for shotwell.
I think you want son't to browse your albums at the same time as you're in a photo session and want to have the preview as big as possible. That's why I want to replace the left hand side menu by the 3 section:
- Capture options
- Camera Options
- Information about the photo
On the bottom is a history widget, which shows the history of the current session.
Anything missing in there?
