![]() ![]() In July 2016, with the latest version being 9.2, I had some time and decided to take a deeper look. I simply grabbed a handful of my favorite images from Lightroom and imported them into Capture One. As a result I still didn’t really see the benefits to switching. However, I couldn’t really invest the time necessary to fully check it out. At that time, a lot of key features were missing, although the RAW processing engine was already very impressive.Īfter the release of Capture One 7, I took another look, and found that most of the functionality I wanted was now there. ![]() Then, I’ll talk about the tests I did to see if I really could move to Capture One completely.Ĭapture One has been on my radar since 2009, when I tried the demo version of version 5 or 6. It’s pretty simple, but this is a powerful motive, so I want to take the time to relay this. Why the Change?įirstly, let me explain the reason for this sudden change in direction. I can already hear you Capture One users chuckling to yourselves, not so surprised that I’ve finally decided to make this change. So, this may come as a shock to people that know me. I started using Lightroom back in 2006, during the initial beta phase, and I’d been a loyal Lightroom user since. Although not quite as dramatic, I’m really excited to tell you that I’ve switched from Lightroom to Capture One Pro as my main image processing, asset management and workflow application. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe.I almost started the title of this episode with Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes, like the one I released when I quit my old day job to pursue photography full-time six years ago. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. ![]() When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.Ģ0 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I started promoting tone-focused editing. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.Īs digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. Let me know what you think in the comments because I’m here to help. If you already use Capture One and are happy, rest assured that with the methods I showed you in the video you will get world-class black-and-white conversion and you’ll be a happy camper. Just keep that in mind when planning what to use. The point is that even if 98% of your black-and-white edits are in a RAW editor like LR or C1, your very best images will still be improved in the pixel editor and you want to have both. or Photoshop where you can also use my BlackRoom black and white actions. In the end, you also need a pixel editor like Affinity Photo. With Capture One costing more than Lightroom and Photoshop combined for most Lightroom make more sense. In the end, it’s more of a personal choice. While Lightroom has more power in layers because of its Ai masking tools, Capture One does have some extra options in how we can use color channels and nuances that I’ll show in this video. The results of Lightroom VS Capture One on black and white, in general, are equal. Should you use Capture One or Lightroom for Black and white? ![]()
