What does Affinity Photo do well? Immediate feedback while using brushes, built in frequency separation tool, and supports many PS plugins.

It’s not a full Photoshop replacement, but it does support all kinds of masking, and even clone & heal all on the RAW level. Editing your RAW images with the layers implementation in C1 is very handy and is all about manipulating colors, tones, and sharpness.

LR is excellent don’t get me wrong but when you get down to examining color gradients, and skin tonality C1 does it better and makes those changes easier to manipulate. Yes you can tweak a bunch of stuff in Lightroom to make the image look very similar and then claim “It’s the same”, but it isn’t and never will be the same simply because they both have different render engines. What does Capture One do well? Customizing UI for your workflow, and output(s), better color management and better RAW rendering. So total cost for next year will be the same for me as Adobe LR/PS.
#Capturing reality raw files upgrade#
I only spent $120 to upgrade to v20 of C1 (my upgrade was discounted). I have owned and used both for a few years now. Total cost of ownership when starting fresh: $349.

C1 costs $299 for a perpetual license, upgrades are now $149 (or less). After spending alot of time with each I have chosen Capture One and Affinity photo to be the setup I use. Note that C1 is also selling stupid presets, and also offers a subscription model, so probably one day it will become just as annoying as LR and their gospels.Īs a person who used Lightroom,Photoshop, Capture One, Affinity Photo, On1 Photo RAW, and Corel Aftershot/PSP I’m going to chime in.

Costs are sunk, we only have to use it and get the most out of it.

#Capturing reality raw files software#
That way, some software lasts long enough, and there are no surprises and there’s not the feeling that the company is taxing away your hard work. Generally with software I buy, I skip one or two upgrades before buying a new license. If the open source programs become just a little bit better, I might even give those a try, but for now C1 suits my needs and I would recommend anybody who can get it at a discount price to give it a try. Despite your fanboy words, I still dislike their price plan and subscription model, and I don’t like PS at all, so as soon as I have no educational discount, I’m forever out of their ecosystem. Just one and a couple of film simulations, that’s just fine, and C1 got it right.įor my workflow, C1 is three to four times more efficient and faster, although I have ten years of experience in using Adobe products. I don’t want hundreds of ways to load a RAW image and thousands of presets. Also, as with other Creative Suite programs, LR is bloated, unintuitive, and overcomplicated. Indeed, LR doesn’t load the native profile either for Nikon, only Capture NX-D does it and that’s the rendering I prefer, but that software is plain bad. C1 is slightly more advanced and indeed loads a preset (aren’t you preset sellers?), which is good enough and in my view better than “Adobe Color”. They do almost the same thing as LR has done for me for the last ten years (with hardly any real novelties to the user experience and interface).

LR is just a piece of software, and so is C1. The French should know that good wine needs no bush. It doesn’t help that Serge Ramelli is spamming all over IG and FB and I’m sick and tired of his over-edited, cliché wallpaper photography. When you said there are only seven people outspokenly satisfied with C1, and that C1 users shouldn’t watch the rest of the show, I knew I was in for some extremely low-level, opinionated trash talk. I also miss the slightest degree of artistic considerations, and I’m disgusted by the shameless price calculations and comparisons that make you look like bad salesmen instead of photographers (admittedly, Scott Kelby does take great pictures). You’re selling out to a program of the past.
