![]() ![]() The Lightroom roundtrip, albeit a bit slow, is pretty seamless (they actively support this workflow, unlike CaptureOne who just wants us to plain migrate away from Adobe) ViewPoint and the Filmpack are integrated in Photolab, once you activate the licence (or use the demos). My workflow remains Lightroom based: I import/catalogue and cull in LR, then I export to Photolab5 if needed, do what I think that should be done in there, then export to Lightroom again and finish the process. The sharpness improvement is due to PhotoLabs new X-trans demosaic algoritm and their lens correction modules. I bought the DXO software suite (actually just pulled the trigger before the 50% BF discount expires, otherwise it would have been way beyond my budget). Maybe landscape photographers coulkd find find this helpfull too, but I can't really comment on that I didn't find much use for the 10-24mm before, because of these deformations, that made my images look pretty much like special effects showcases. I do mostly street photography, with humans in the frame and this is maes me re-assess my lens choices. This alone justifies the expense for Viewpoint if you shoot with wide angle lenses. Some of the image has got lost at the edges because of the neccesary cropping, but no a big deal. The correction is pretty spectacular, IMHO. On the right, the result fro DXO with Viewpoint deformation correction control enabled. Here's the result.įirst, a test shot with the 10-24mm On the left, the raw file as developed by Lightroom (same result in CaptureOne). I thought at first, "what the heck, should I pay extra to get keystoning? Don't count on me!!" but finally I downloaded the thing and tested on some wide angle shots. This is about the Viewpoint add-on, mostly. ![]() Not going to do a full review though, unless I get free copies from DXO -) This is particularly true of more delicate color grading, where Capture One really shines, along with processing RAW photos, where the RAW converter of the latest version seems particularly fine.Hi, I am testing the new X-Trans support in DXO software, so I though I should share some of my findings. Overall, Photoshop does still give you more precise control over your complex edits, particularly when it comes to masking, but as subsequent versions of Capture One are released with an increasing number of complex tools, there is less and less need to go to Photoshop than there used to be, and I often find that edits can be entirely completed within Capture One. Really, they are different programs that are good for different things, rather than being direct competitors (although there is some overlap in editing), with Photoshop integration into Capture One meaning that it is now possible to prepare RAW images in Capture One using their excellent camera profiles, before exporting to Photoshop for your final, more complex edits. In Photoshop, it can be a pain to spot any issues you introduced during RAW conversion as you have to go back into Camera RAW to see the settings you used – Capture One has them displayed prominently from start to finish.Ĭapture One isn’t better than Photoshop in the strict sense – Photoshop has many more features and tools – but Capture One does complement Photoshop as a program for photo organization and for more basic edits, where it is much quicker than Photoshop. The one advantage of Capture One’s RAW processing is that it is not done in a separate window as with Photoshop – you edit photos in exactly the same way whether it is JPG, TIFF or RAW, which makes edits you don’t like far easier to undo. ![]() Whether you prefer Capture One or Photoshop for RAW processing is essentially down to personal preference of how you like your colors and contrast to look, so it’s a good idea to try them side-be-side with your own images to get a feel for this. Comparing Camera RAW vs Capture One, many photographers think that Capture 1 seems better with their RAW processing, and this might be the case for specialized cameras like the Fuji X series, where Capture One has specific profiles stored, but in general I don’t see any major difference. Both Photoshop and Capture One process RAW files very well. ![]()
