If you live in Europe, expect to pay up to 33% more than US customers. My post production is often light as budgets are small. I’m often delivering large batches of images from events without intensely detailed editing.
I’m a part-time professional working on small jobs and lots of personal projects. I will also add that I’m not delivering beauty, fashion, or product photography to high-end commercial clients. With all of that in mind, if there’s an aspect of Capture One that I don’t like, it’s probably because it doesn’t suit me, rather than it being something fundamentally wrong with the software. That’s a big reason to stick with what I’m used to. The thought of ditching almost seven years’ worth of Lightroom images is not a pleasant one, and I can’t figure out how I could run these systems alongside each other for a year or two in order to transition without it being too expensive for me.
Like many of us, I’m set in my ways and while I like playing with new things, I’m also resistant to change. I should preface this article by explaining that this is entirely a personal experience and that your mileage will vary. In keeping with photographic traditions, the naming convention is illogical, having moved from Capture One 12 straight to Capture One 20, apparently to avoid unlucky 13 and reflect the fact that it’s 2020. The newly updated Capture One caught my attention and opened my eyes.Ĭapture One 20 launched earlier this month and it claims to be the best version ever for dragging Lightroom users into its fold.
There are plenty of things about Lightroom that bug me and despite being a hardened user of more than 6 years, I thought it was about time give something else a go.
