Lightroom vs dxo8/22/2023 ![]() ![]() New in this incarnation of Capture One Pro is the ability to tether wirelessly with a variety of Canon and Sony models – including popular models such as the A7 II, A7R IV and A9 II. The software also offers a range of predefined styles and presets, enabling users to apply artistic effects or create a consistent look across their images with a single click.Īnother go-to element for many professional photographs is the tethering feature, which is invaluable in studio photography and allows you to take photos and review them remotely. In terms of exposure, white balance, noise reduction and image sharpening there’s little to differentiate Capture One from other more mainstream products, but when it comes to how it treats colour, the grading options are a joy to use.Īdvanced colour editing is easier but somehow more intuitive than rivals in Capture One Pro and photographers can meticulously adjust specific colours or colour ranges within images, making it easier to achieve accurate and consistent grading. ![]() After cropping and some of the more major image tweaks have taken place, some of the finer controls are a pleasure to use, offering an ability to alter and manipulate on a granular level. Nice touches and one again that make the workflow easier and more simple, and also offers far more control in choosing between two similar images in a set.Ĭapture One Pro supports an extensive range of camera models and also lenses, which makes correction easier and sets up the basis of a well-composed shot geometrically speaking. The first two functions that came in handy, not surprisingly, were the import and cull options, which we thought we more useful than the same features found on other pieces of software as they provide a good deal more options to edit at this stage, such as the ability to automatically copy into other folders or include sub-folders, for instance.Ĭull is where the shot-selection work starts, and we were impressed by this too, as there are some smart features like automatic grouping depending on shot similarity, the ability to bulk star in an intuitive way or most impressively, toggle an option that automatically detects faces and zooms in so you can see whether they’re sharp or not before you commit to selecting. If reviewed purely on editing features, the software doesn’t differentiate itself too much from the crowd, but once you delve into the customisation features, processing and tethering options available in Capture One Pro, it starts to poke its head above the parapet and come into its own. A high degree of personalisation is available too, allowing users to programme shortcuts and rearrange individual panels to suit different screen setups. Library, tether, shape and style are the four options that are immediately apparent on opening the programme, and within these tabs, you’ll find familiar editing options like colour grading, tone curve adjustment, rotation and crop as well as the option to apply styles, presets and creative edits to your images. ![]() ![]() It’s a nice feature that allows a quicker workflow when dealing with a large number of images taken on different shoots on different days, for example. There are some key differences in terms of the overall design of the programme to the likes of Adobe Lightroom and the previously reviewed DxO PhotoLab, in that most actions happen from the same screen, without having to swap between a ‘library’ and a ‘develop’ mode – the same options are available but are just tabbed off to the right of the screen. Capture One Pro 23 at Wex Photo Video for £219.It’s a sleek and intuitive design and it manages to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics, with perhaps in our opinion the pendulum somewhat swaying to the former – it’s clear from the outset that this is a piece of software designed primarily to get stuff done. Interface design in many of the software tools available on the market at the moment is similar, and Capture One follows a pattern that’s well-known by most photographers working across a range of platforms.
