Daily notes from Jack about everything

Capture One Pro

Capture One Pro

Yesterday, at about this time, I said that I wanted to move my photo editing back to Capture One Pro. I later spent a few hours doing just that. Yes, yes, I know, I do this all the time and always end up back in Lightroom Classic. That may happen again this time, but what I'm always reminded of is that I get photos I like better out of C1 faster and more easily than I do with LrC. And when I want to get fancy, C1 does a better job also (layers!). I almost never drop into Photoshop, but I suppose if I do more "real" portraits, I'll need it for retouching. C1 is just nicer. It's also better when switching between the big and little screens because the layouts are so customizable. I have a custom layout for both screens. Tethering from the Leicas works like butter in C1, too. So, Lightroom has "easier" going for it, but C1 wins at just about everything else.
