1 thought on “Photo Taco – Capture One: Can it Replace Lightroom?”
Alex Friedman
Jim,
Thanks for the review of Capture One (and for the other podcasts, the website, …). As an “Aperture refugee” (not to trivialize the word) I considered LR and C1. LR seemed to offer more of a complete system, with LR Mobile, an excellent uploader to SmugMug, smart previews, and the ability to handle large libraries. So I went with it. it wasn’t an easy call — C1 is more “Aperture like” (less modal) and seems to offer more attractive images out-of-the box. A major limitation of C1 seems to be that local edits can be limited in number.
My main system is Nikon, but my travel camera is a Fuji X20, which is ideal for family trips, tourism, etc. C1 is broadly regarded as doing a better job on .RAF’s in regard to sharpness, absence of artifacts, etc. So I’m writing to ask if this has been your experience as a Fuji user. With LR, I find it a bit difficult to make my .RAF’s look as good as the OOC jpeg’s — and indeed, most of the time the jpeg’s are fine with little or no editing. So a second purpose of this message is to request that, as a Fuji user and LR expert, you consider offering some suggestions on .RAF editing to match the jpeg as a starting point.
