![]() They are rigorously created at Phase One. Hopefully this will make you a little more comfortable when trying to take that leap from one platform to the other.Ĭolor Rendering: Capture One prides itself on the creation of their camera profiles. I have put a series of videos on youtube that will guide you step by step how to do the same functions you have done in LightRoom in Capture One. Although with every new version of Capture One Pro that is released, it gets more and more user friendly. Learning Curve: Adobe Lightroom tends to be easier to learn for most people. To help you decide which one (or both) are right for you, I’ll break each down by its functions and cost. So which one should you use? There are several out there, but the dominant two that I recommend are Adobe Lightroom Classic and Capture One Pro by Phase One. This is because companies like Canon and Nikon are in the business of making cameras, they are not in the business of software. Cameras do come with their own RAW file processing software, but it tends to be very rudimentary and not very user friendly. Now our negatives have been replaced with RAW files and we need a software program instead of a dark room to process our images. That way, you can make an informed decision regarding the best program for your editing needs.Back in the days, before digital photography was even a thing, I would spend hours upon hours in the darkroom working to get my prints to look just the way I wanted them to. If you’re still on the fence, I’d recommend you take the time to determine the features that are important to you in an image editor. I’ve used both programs extensively, and each has its own strong and weak points. Lightroom is also less expensive, plus it’s more pleasant to use. Lightroom, on the other hand, is great for beginners, intermediate, and pro photographers who don’t need the huge array of features and tools available in Capture One. It’s also the program to choose if you like advanced editing and color grading on adjustment layers. Therefore, if you are a professional photographer who requires an integrated workflow from tethered shooting through to finished images, then Capture One is the best choice. Ultimately, the software you choose will be a reflection of your preferences, your skill level, and your budget. An annual prepaid subscription for Capture One for Fujifilm, Nikon, or Sony is $149 USD (which comes to around $12.50 USD per month). You can buy the program outright or rent it via a monthly subscription, and you can buy plans for specific camera brands, such as Sony, Fujifilm, or Nikon (these camera-specific plans are cheaper, but can only be used on images from certain cameras).Ĭapture One Pro is $299 USD for a new perpetual license, and subscription plans start at $19 USD per month. Unfortunately, Capture One is quite expensive, and the pricing structure can be confusing, too. You can purchase Lightroom CC on its own – with 1 TB of cloud storage – for $9.99 USD per month, or you can grab Lightroom as part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan, which includes access to Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop CC and starts at $9.99 USD per month, though you can pay extra for additional cloud storage. ![]() PricingĪs with all Adobe apps, Lightroom is only available as a monthly subscription. If you want to edit images taken on your smartphone, you’ll need to transfer them to your computer (and if you want to edit images on your phone, you’re out of luck, though you can always grab the free Lightroom app). Unfortunately, Capture One doesn’t currently offer any kind of mobile app. Also, note that images and edits from your Lightroom app will sync across your Lightroom CC programs – so you can edit on your phone, then see the changes on your desktop (and vice versa). ![]() You will need an Adobe subscription to access several advanced features, but once you’ve purchased Lightroom, this will take care of itself. Lightroom offers a totally free app for your device, downloadable from both iOS and Android app stores. ![]()
