Program is highly customisable to better suit own needs and editing workflow. One can build masks from colour selections into separate editing layers with ease. Two other highly useful tools are ability to do edits in layers and use masks for targeted editing. There is even a special feature for fine tuning skin colours, but it can be used for all sorts other colour edits. One of the key features that stands out in Capture One is its multiple ways of editing colours. From the start I liked interphase and features better than Lightroom or CamereRaw and I also preferred how C1 handles Sony and Nikon RAW files as compared to LR. One can even use/launch some of the plugins (Topaz/On1) straight from the C1, but without exception files are converted to TIFF format and no longer RAW files when returning to Capture One. Because brush and mask tools in Capture One are so comprehensive it has become rare occasion or need to do editing with Photoshop. It is relatively easy to achieve understanding of the basic features of Capture One, however fully understanding and learning powerful editing tools takes time and practise to master, so there is a learning curve, but it is rewarding to see how much editing can be done already at this non-destructive stage. I use more Adobe Products and was not willing to pay for both. Not to say that the software is not good, it was just too expensive to keep using it. Ultimately for the cost + the time needed to invest in learning how to use it, to justify the expense, I decided to move away from it. It is well laid out for the most part, but it is a very complicated software to learn. While Capture One was more advanced, it has a very steep learning curve. At the time I was using the paid service for this software, Adobe Lightroom did not have much in terms of competition. It drew me in primarily for the tethered shooting capabilities and the applied editing upon import. But as I said, the learning curve is steep! PROSĬapture One is a very robust piece of software, to say the least. If I had a full studio and did ONLY Studio work, I would probably re-investigate purchasing a subscription again. However, I would stress that this decision was based on what type of work I was doing at the time. My experience was good, and the software is very high quality, the comparison to using Lightroom vs. Unlike Luminar or Adobe, it doesn't use AI for a better and more intuitive look which makes it feel outdated. With Adobe Lightroom being a widely used software, the lack of preset is another major lockdown for Capture One. Export & Import time is quite long while Fujifilm offers an additional benefit, with Sony it doesn't offer anything special. There are too many tabs and they're not quite easy to understand in the development module. Colors were more vibrant, they had that Fujifilm look, and instead of presets, we could use Film Simulations and go from there to our heart content while editing. While editing RAW photos, those essential "Fuji" colors were lacking, but switching to Adobe Lightroom was an instant game changer. PROSĪs a Fujifilm Camera System user, it is one of the rare software which allows proper compatibility it lacks Adobe Lightroom to use the Fujifilm Film Simulation, one of the significant reasons to invest in Fujifilm system which can't be achieved unless using JPEG. If you want close based service through which you can edit while you travel on your iPad/Smartphone as a content creator, Adobe and its ecosystem is the smarter choice. If you're invested in Fujifilm System, don't want to spend monthly on an Adobe subscription, and/or want software built for tether shooting, you can't look past Capture One.
