Capture One

Vorteile

Capture One works very well for tethered shooting on photo sets. It is responsive and works smoothly. I appreciate how Capture One renders colors and skin tones of raw files.

Nachteile

I feel like it's a bit expensive, and wish that I could export my raw edits easily to other applications like Adobe Bridge.

Vorteile

As 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. While editing RAW photos, those essential "Fuji" colors were lacking, but switching to Adobe Lightroom was an instant game changer. 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.

Nachteile

There are too many tabs and they're not quite easy to understand in the development module. Export & Import time is quite long while Fujifilm offers an additional benefit, with Sony it doesn't offer anything special. With Adobe Lightroom being a widely used software, the lack of preset is another major lockdown for Capture One. Unlike Luminar or Adobe, it doesn't use AI for a better and more intuitive look which makes it feel outdated.

Vorteile

Capture One has been my bulk photo editing software of choice for about 15 years. I have come back to it many times after trying alternatives.
Perpetual licences available.

Nachteile

No Linux support.
Also in the Windows version there are several ongoing bugs which have not been addressed despite me reporting them and trying to explain them.

Vorteile

It's the standard for studio based photography image capture. Really there is nothing equivalent out there.

Nachteile

Sometimes it can seem a little bloated and the ongoing subscription model is frustrating.

Vorteile

Capture One is a very robust piece of software, to say the least. It drew me in primarily for the tethered shooting capabilities and the applied editing upon import. At the time I was using the paid service for this software, Adobe Lightroom did not have much in terms of competition. Capture One was more advanced.

Nachteile

While Capture One was more advanced, it has a very steep learning curve. It is well laid out for the most part, but it is a very complicated software to learn. 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. Not to say that the software is not good, it was just too expensive to keep using it. I use more Adobe Products and was not willing to pay for both.

Vorteile

The interface is very simple, minimalist. It has more advanced functions than competing software, even integrates functions of several of these software

Nachteile

You still need to incorporate some functions of other photography software, and as for the default developer settings, it is still in diapers

Vorteile

This software provides most features you will need for photo editing. If you are using Sony or Fujifilm camera, you can even download capture one express, which is free!

Nachteile

The required catalog file is pretty large and occupies some space. Also, unlike Lightroom, Capture One doesn't have Photoshop, so it might be harder to collaborate with Photoshop.

Vorteile

I could get better colors for my RAWs by default. I could restore the shadows from night images. Also, the interface it's more intelligent organized than other software.

Nachteile

Managing the library with tags is very basic. I would like to have better copy/paste options like other competing software.

Vorteile

- the processing speed is very good
- the color profiles are better than other softwares,( like Lightroom )
- the tethered shoot function is a very good feature for studio photography
- the before and after function is very cool

Nachteile

- a bitt expensive
- some functions are hard to understand how to use them
- AI Subject separation is still not well developed

Vorteile

I've been using and training photo professionals on Capture One software since its beginning, and there's no better image capture and processing software in the market today or in the past for that matter.

Nachteile

None that I can think of, Capture One continues to keep up with all the latest professional camera files formats and computer OS upgrades.

Vorteile

Desde mi punto de vista los resultados que se obtienen con Capture One son superiores a los de su competencia, la interfase es muy intuitiva y fácil de utilizar y siento que la velocidad de trabajo es más rápida.

Nachteile

Las licencias a perpetuidad en realidad no son a perpetuidad porque ya sea el hardware o el sistema operativo tienen fecha de caducidad y estas licencias no son actualizables.

Vorteile

Dés l'utilisation des outils des calques, le logiciel rame et se plante sans arrêtj'ai pourtant en ma possession deux tours très puissantes et c'est le même souci

Nachteile

Ses plantages qui me font perdre de nombreuses minutes

Vorteile

Capture One can handle a large volume of images in one session and qucikly loads previews when launching the program. Has a feature to colour tag images to highlight favourite shots or can star imagery to highlight.

Nachteile

Imagery cache can build up resulting in program getting slow. Manaul deletion of cache is require to resolve issue.

Vorteile

Workflow management using sessions makes the process of editing easy to manage. The editing tools are incredibly powerful and with practice become easy and quick to use.

Nachteile

The iPad and iPhone versions of the software are promising but need further development.

Vorteile

One of the key features that stands out in Capture One is its multiple ways of editing colours. There is even a special feature for fine tuning skin colours, but it can be used for all sorts other colour edits. Two other highly useful tools are ability to do edits in layers and use masks for targeted editing. One can build masks from colour selections into separate editing layers with ease. Program is highly customisable to better suit own needs and editing workflow. One small feature that I really really like is an ability write annotations or small notes into photos/files. These are priceless when there are several weeks in between edits, I mean it is easier to remember where the edit was left and what was planned do for it, if there are some instructions written in photo etc. and those notes/annotations do not show in final exported version of the photo. Ability to duplicate files and copy/paste settings to multiple files are also great feature.

Nachteile

Camera specific ICC profiles (i.e Portrait, Landscape etc.) are missing for Sony ARW RAW files in Capture One Pro 20, instead there is only a generic camera profile for a camera say for A7RIII. For Nikon NEF RAW files such camera specific ICC profiles are there and they are many times much easier & convenient starting point for edits. Maybe version 21 of C1 Pro have fixed this and problem might be at the Sony end of things. Another annoying thing is very limited amount supported lenses for lens profiles. Here however latest Sony GM glass is well supported. Software is quite expensive and one has to purchase styles separately (and they are expensive as well) if that is something you might consider as important. There are some basic styles included, but not very many.

Vorteile

Capture one remains the best solution for analyzing, developing and working with .raw files, as well as for studio photography in connected mode. The software is powerful, easy to use, once you have its logic and terribly customizable, which allows it to adapt to any user configuration.

Nachteile

Perhaps the most disturbing point is the force of habit. Like any new software, we have to get used to the UX/UI couple. Once this small effort is made, the software fully deploys all its quality and efficiency.

Vorteile

Ce qui m'a plus touché c'est la gestion de la colorimétrie qui est très riche. Mais aussi la gestion des calques qui m'aide beaucoup à revenir à des problèmes de retouches.

Nachteile

C'était la prise en main qui m'a donné un peu du fil à retorde car beaucoup de menus ou de fontionnalités à apprendre.

Vorteile

the way the app see the colours, the way the app its organized its incredible, the multiples options the program gives me to do what i need to, its really fast to work with it and i really love the app because i can reach colours i can't reach with other apps

Nachteile

actually, only the price sometimes makes me sad, but its not the worst, because the app has its value

Vorteile

You can add searchable keywords, tags or ratings to images, which makes organising and looking for images very fast and easy. Capture One offers a broad range of tools, manual as well as automatic ones, to adjust color gradients, correct potential lens defects and fix exposure issues. The interface is highly customizable, which is particularly practical for beginners. You also get a choice of either an ongoing subscription to the software or a perpetual license, which many other programs do not offer.

Nachteile

Capture One only offers limited support for older, lower-end and less popular cameras. The level of performance regarding image previews and final versions is also lower than that of similar softwares.

Vorteile

the color science, The ability to stack layers and build effects, the icc profile etc.

Nachteile

It lacks camera calibration sliders like Lightroom does have.

Vorteile

Color correctionNoise correctionIncredibly fastDark and brightest areas correctionEfficiency Librarys and sesions

Nachteile

The price is higher than Photoshop+Lightroom, but, believe me, it is worth it to use Capture One and Photoshop!Is not very intuitive at first use, but Capture One has many tutorials to leave Lr and start using this fantastic tool.Believe me: you won't regret the change.

Vorteile

As a user, I like the speed and stability of this program. I had no problem with slow loading of thumbnails, even with thousands of files. During the time I have been using this program, it has never stopped working unnoticed.

Nachteile

The program does not support hdr stacking and panoramas (yet).
There's lack of plug-ins at current time, and only few export options (jpg, tiff, png).

Vorteile

Capture One Pro è di gran lunga il miglior software per la gestione e il fotoritocco professionale. L'elaborazione dei .raw è semplicemente eccezionale. Oltre a questo offre un'ottima catalogazione di immagini, di regolazioni locali e globali, di regolazione del colore, di maschere e di livelli e uno straordinario numero di altre utili funzionalità che non possono mancare in uno studio fotografico. Con Capture One puoi anche scattare in tethering cosicché le tue foto risulteranno immagini già catalogate e sviluppate. Un gran bel risparmio di tempo.

Nachteile

L'interfaccia utente di Capture One è senza dubbio migliorabile e il software sicuramente non è economico.

Vorteile

My camera is Fuji, and C1 is specially good for Fuji camera's. I also like layers. Think of best mix of PhotoShop and LightRoom.

Nachteile

Anamorphic pictures can only squeze up to 25%. Why limit that feature in the first place? WebP output would be nice. Specially with Google taking speed as ranking factor.

Vorteile

Love this software! As a hobby photographer I am now able to organize and consolidate all my photos in one place. I love that I am also able to easily use it with both my Nikon and Canon cameras.

Nachteile

The annual plan is a bit expensive and limits the number of users on each plan so if you’re running a business this might be something to evaluate to see if it’s cost worthy.

Vorteile

Possibilidade de organização de fotos de maneira fácil, criativa e funcional. Melhorias, edição das fotos deixando a qualidade melhor possível. Catalogação de fotos antigas de maneira que seja encontrad muito facilmente. Estamos utilizando a ferramenta para finalmente conseguirmos arquivar de maneira prática as fotos da instituição. Não tínhamos uma solução que nos desse essa opção e o Capture One Enterprise faz isso de maneira brilhante

Nachteile

Uma pequena lentidão no momento de leitura dos albuns de fotos disponiveis, mas depois do primeiro uso funciona plenamente

Vorteile

I most like about this is film grain and grain tool and latest update for iPad support.

Nachteile

I least like about is pricing is little more than another app .

Vorteile

The setting seem pre-tailored to my lens and helped me drastically improve the quality of my images . The folder organization within the program is neat and you can easily maneuver and drastically reduce the time you spend on non-essential tasks .
It is very sensitive to the different needs of different camera types and supports all of them ( at least all of the ones I have tried ) .

Nachteile

There was definitely a learning curve to overcome at the beginning . The price can also be discouraging for small businesses. But after a while you find it was well worth it .

Vorteile

The raw processing is excellent, and there’s so much it allows me to do. It’s the core of my image management as well as basic editing.

Nachteile

It would be nice to not have to go into Photoshop, but that’s a different tool. Capture One does what it does very well.

Vorteile

One of the best features I liked about Capture one is their sophisticated user interface. Even though it is sophisticated user interface is very user friendly too. And another one is Tethered capture where it gives users the ability to shoot photos directly to their computers.

Nachteile

I wish there is a free tier where there are less features so the beginners who starting their career will be able to use this without worrying about the finance.

Vorteile

There are lots of functions and the user interface is very friendly and gives the ability to modify user interface.

Nachteile

The plans are a bit expensive. The documentation is not well organized.

Vorteile

I used the software for one service, for a photo shoot. I really liked the customizations. It reminded me a lot of lightroom, the image batch issue was also improved in the last versions, I saw some old complaints about it. I even received a discount after free to purchase the software. I didn't find it a very complex tool, but for beginners it can be a little tricky. It has some important information and well-tuned shortcuts to rotate the angle and everything. The texture adjustment is sensational. Customizing the workspace has streamlined my work.

Nachteile

The price is something average. Although I don't find it that hard to work with, I believe it needs more tutorials. I saw that the version you can buy by device something like for Sony

Vorteile

Interfaccia utente, controlli HDR, esportazione

Nachteile

Un po' macchinoso su alcune funzioni e importazione immagini, problemi con accelerazione hardware AMD

Vorteile

Does an excellent job rendering RAW images from camera. Images have more detail and great color. I love the layers.

Nachteile

It is expensive for the available features. Could have better presets.

Vorteile

Fantastic set of features (yes stitching does not yet work too well), easy to use and beautiful UI

Nachteile

There is always the danger that they switch to the abo / monthly payment bandwagon.

Vorteile

No more monthly subscriptions. Buy it once, own it for life. Performs just as well, if not better than Lightroom on my mid-range PC. Also works really well for Fujifilm raw files without any artifacts.

Nachteile

Hard to come up with things I don't like about Capture One. They even have an Express version that you can get for free and try before you buy the full version.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Warum Capture One gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Capture One

Vorteile

Styles stack, works wonders for applying different elements instead of overall presets and they're extremely flexible. It has non-destructive layered editing which is more complex than LightRoom but a lot more dynamic.

Nachteile

It's VERY complex. Coming from LightRoom to C1 is a big jump in UI/UX. There's a lot of learning to do but the results speak for themselves.

Vorteile

It covers a wide range of photo editing features which is required by any photo expert but its color corrections are the best to mention here. HDR management works such that even after the photo has been captured HDR still works. Secondly for a new photo editor its a good place to learn the basics and specific photo customizations.

Nachteile

My personal experience with this photo editing soliton is very good. What I would suggest to make a little interactive iconic interface.

Vorteile

Capture one è un programma che serve per la conversione di foto in raw, l'ho utilizzato qualche volta per modificare alcune foto di famiglia per sperimentare nuovi programmi e mi ci sono trovata bene

Nachteile

Da migliorare integrazioni con altri programmi, per il resto ottimo programma

Vorteile

The quality of the output is tremendous.

Nachteile

Catalogs, sessions and a stupid decision not to support other medium format cameras except Phase One and Fuji

Vorteile

is a program that runs smoothly and that features many tools that make working on photos easier.

Nachteile

It is not cheap and buying the latest version every year can be expensive and the latest updates have been reducing the brightness of the program.

Vorteile

The most useful part of this software is the ease of integration with most of the popular camera brands such as Canon.

Nachteile

Well, other than the price being a bit on the higher end compared to the competition, the software has features that really need improvement and these features include Edge detection which does work well with low-end camera sets.

Vorteile

The learning curve is not too difficult and is a far superior product to Lightroom, it's fast and easy to work with, it feels like it's been designed by photographers for photographers.

Nachteile

very few plugins available and ridiculously expensive

Vorteile

O programa tem um poderoso capturador de RAW, uma boa interface e a renderização das cores das imagens são incríveis.

Nachteile

A UI pode ser complicada de entender, o que dificulta a experiência do usuário um pouco.

Vorteile

Interface is easy to navigate, great for editing bulk pictures especially for a newbie photographer

Nachteile

the intial cost of the software is quite high,

Vorteile

It has been very long from start to get Professional quality photo edits. It's interface also depicts graphs which enhance the editing capabilities. A wide range of image inputs including camera support is also offered.

Nachteile

This software may also include video editing features.

Vorteile

The flow of the program, Layers, tethering & the catalogue

Nachteile

No presets. Coming from Adobe, I love my presets.

Vorteile

It starts with an easy and very simple interface. In addition, the interface is to customize.All interface functions are simple and easy to understand. The tool offers some automatic updates to adjust color and some possible problems with the photo image

Nachteile

Some functions are limited to low-cost or even older cameras, which I believe would be the most negative point

Vorteile

For some time now I have decided to try it and place it alongside the usual and classic photo editing program (out of respect I don't name it but you know which one it is). it is much more advanced in terms of color management

Nachteile

some commands can be improved, and not yet up to the competition

Vorteile

I loved the speed editing and the magical auto customization on the layers it does for me. That is something I missed in the software I had used before.

Nachteile

I felt like the features offered in the product were not enough and for the price point, I expected much more.
