Capture One reviews

Powerful photo editing and tethering with great color.

Opmerkingen: Capture One makes it easy to reliably tether my cameras to a computer and have images reviewed by clients in real time.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Best for Fujifilm Users

Opmerkingen: If you're invested in Fujifilm System, don't want to spend monthly on an Adobe subscription, and/or want software built for tether shooting, you can't look past Capture One. If you want close based service through which you can edit while you travel on your iPad/Smartphone as a content creator, Adobe and its ecosystem is the smarter choice.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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 Unlike Luminar or Adobe, it doesn't use AI for a better and more intuitive look which makes it feel outdated.

The standard for studio image capture.

Opmerkingen: Generally positive, I've been a user for many years and on the whole it performs as expected.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Tethered Shooting & Editing with Capture One

Opmerkingen: My experience was good, and the software is very high quality, the comparison to using Lightroom vs. Capture One made me cut out Capture One. However, I would stress that this decision was based on what type of work I was doing at the time. If I had a full studio and did ONLY Studio work, I would probably re-investigate purchasing a subscription again. But as I said, the learning curve is steep!

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Brilliant photo editing, RAW conversion and photo library software

Opmerkingen: It is relatively easy to achieve understanding of the basic features of Capture One, however fully understanding and learning powerful editing tools takes time and practise to master, so there is a learning curve, but it is rewarding to see how much editing can be done already at this non-destructive stage. Because brush and mask tools in Capture One are so comprehensive it has become rare occasion or need to do editing with Photoshop. One can even use/launch some of the plugins (Topaz/On1) straight from the C1, but without exception files are converted to TIFF format and no longer RAW files when returning to Capture One. From the start I liked interphase and features better than Lightroom or CamereRaw and I also preferred how C1 handles Sony and Nikon RAW files as compared to LR.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

capture a new target

Opmerkingen: I used other photo editing software but decided to take a chance and switch to Capture One.
Its simplicity helped me adapt although I miss some functions of the programs I left.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Great alternative for Lightroom

Opmerkingen: I used to use Lightroom, but that subscription service is a little expensive for me because I'm not a professional photographer. Then, I found Capture One. It provides all features I need, and it's free. I love this software.

Pluspunten:

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!

Minpunten:

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.

Get better colors for your RAW

Opmerkingen: Easy manage my photos.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Is a pretty good photo editing software

Opmerkingen: I used Capture One for quite some time, it is a very successful tool, I like the colors, not very overly vibrant, I like that you can work with editable masks, the editing speed is very good, even with a not very powerful computer. I switched to Lightroom because it offers a better workflow, you can find the tools easily and it is more user-friendly

Pluspunten:

- 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

Minpunten:

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

Capture One Pro in eCommerce Photography Studio

Opmerkingen: Capturing a high volume of model imagery along with naming product being photographed.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Capture One el lider en el revelado y edición de fotografía digital.

Opmerkingen: En general Capture One me parece el complemento ideal para obtener grandes resultados en fotografía digital, sobre todo para quienes no hacemos retoque a nuestras fotografías.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Plantage incessant

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

Ses plantages qui me font perdre de nombreuses minutes

Capture One there is no better software for Image Capture and processing

Opmerkingen: Capture One is a solid piece of software, that gets the job done, when photo professional need to get their projects completed on time.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Powerful and always improving

Opmerkingen: Makes post production efficient and productive

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

the king's return

Opmerkingen: I have been using Capture one for many years. I worked a lot with the competitor software Adobe lighroom. The latter remains far behind Capture One on almost all points. The main difference in favor of Adobe Lightroom is that it has a cataloguing function. However, thanks to its layers, which remain unmatched in the most recent versions of the competitor's software, Capture One remains the one and only serious and professional solution for the development of digital photography.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Ottimo software di fotoritocco RAW avanzato

Opmerkingen: Uso saltuariamente il prodotto in alternativa a Lightroom, finora si è rivelato veloce e di semplice utilizzo generale. Qualche noia in accelerazione hardware con processori AMD Ryzen

Pluspunten:

Interfaccia utente, controlli HDR, esportazione

Minpunten:

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

Avis Capture One

Opmerkingen: Capture one m'a aidé d'être plus productif une fois la prise en main maitrisé.Il m'a rapporté plus de qualité de livrable pour mes clients.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

really the best app

Opmerkingen: amazing, really easy to use and with incredible results

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Capture One Software Review

Opmerkingen: I've been using Capture One for quite a few months now, after switching from a similar photo editing software. I love the highly customizable user interface, which made using this software a lot easier for me as a new user. I'm happy I made the switch to Capture One with its many great features.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Ottimo per photo editing

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

The best Raw processor software ever

Opmerkingen: Its worth every dime spent.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

It lacks camera calibration sliders like Lightroom does have.

Wow! This is the best RAW editing tool!

Opmerkingen: For many years I've used Lightroom, but Lr has many problems with color management (even for Canon cameras) and too much use of CPU that makes the exports very slow and burns the computer.

Pluspunten:

Color correctionNoise correctionIncredibly fastDark and brightest areas correctionEfficiency Librarys and sesions

Minpunten:

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.

(almost)reliable software

Opmerkingen: In my opinion, the program does the job, although I also believe that there should be more options (eg export).

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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).

Un software che non può mancare in uno studio fotografico.

Opmerkingen: Mi sono trovato molto bene con Capture One anche se ultimamente gli preferisco Lightroom che trovo già pronto nell'Adobe Creative Cloud.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Fast, consistent RAW editor with excellent output

Opmerkingen: At first C1 was my goto RAW editor for Fuji XT4. Later we tried to launch editing outsourcing services. We have choosen C1 because of consistency between different cameras.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.
