Pros the color science, The ability to stack layers and build effects, the icc profile etc. Cons It lacks camera calibration sliders like Lightroom does have. Review Source Response from Capture One March 24, 2020 Thank you for your review and your recommendation.

Marketing Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wow! This is the best RAW editing tool! " October 20, 2022 5.0 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. Pros Color correctionNoise correctionIncredibly fastDark and brightest areas correctionEfficiency Librarys and sesions Cons 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.

CTO Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "(almost)reliable software" November 11, 2021 4.0 In my opinion, the program does the job, although I also believe that there should be more options (eg export). Pros 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. Cons 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). Switched from [Adobe Lightroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/233631/Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom/) I needed reliability.

October 31, 2022 5.0 Mi sono trovato molto bene con Capture One anche se ultimamente gli preferisco Lightroom che trovo già pronto nell'Adobe Creative Cloud. Pros 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. Cons L'interfaccia utente di Capture One è senza dubbio migliorabile e il software sicuramente non è economico. Review Source Klemen V. Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fast, consistent RAW editor with excellent output" July 27, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source Tania J. Account Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great photo editing software!" April 16, 2020 5.0 Pros Love this software! As a hobby photographer I am now able to organize and consolidate all my photos in one place. I love that I am also able to easily use it with both my Nikon and Canon cameras. Cons The annual plan is a bit expensive and limits the number of users on each plan so if you’re running a business this might be something to evaluate to see if it’s cost worthy. Review Source HM Hristo M. Owner & Photographer Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "After you get accustomed ,using it becomes second nature " May 28, 2020 5.0 Pros The setting seem pre-tailored to my lens and helped me drastically improve the quality of my images . The folder organization within the program is neat and you can easily maneuver and drastically reduce the time you spend on non-essential tasks . It is very sensitive to the different needs of different camera types and supports all of them ( at least all of the ones I have tried ) . Cons There was definitely a learning curve to overcome at the beginning . The price can also be discouraging for small businesses. But after a while you find it was well worth it . Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Photographer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love it" August 31, 2021 5.0 Pros The raw processing is excellent, and there’s so much it allows me to do. It’s the core of my image management as well as basic editing. Cons It would be nice to not have to go into Photoshop, but that’s a different tool. Capture One does what it does very well. Review Source Yasiru G. Content Creator Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Capture one : Making the photo editing great !" May 2, 2020 4.0 Overall experience is very good. Capture one has given me a centralized solution for managing and editing my photos very easily with great features. Pros One of the best features I liked about Capture one is their sophisticated user interface. Even though it is sophisticated user interface is very user friendly too. And another one is Tethered capture where it gives users the ability to shoot photos directly to their computers. Cons I wish there is a free tier where there are less features so the beginners who starting their career will be able to use this without worrying about the finance.

Software Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great experience" April 26, 2020 4.0 Pros There are lots of functions and the user interface is very friendly and gives the ability to modify user interface. Cons The plans are a bit expensive. The documentation is not well organized. Review Source JP Jacopo P. Webmaster Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ottimo software di fotoritocco RAW avanzato" January 12, 2023 4.0 Uso saltuariamente il prodotto in alternativa a Lightroom, finora si è rivelato veloce e di semplice utilizzo generale.

Images have more detail and great color. I love the layers. Cons It is expensive for the available features. Could have better presets. Review Source AH Andreas H. Founder Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Capture One - your photographs deserve the best!" August 16, 2022 5.0 Just fantastic UI to enhance and create the images you have in mind. Pros Fantastic set of features (yes stitching does not yet work too well), easy to use and beautiful UI Cons There is always the danger that they switch to the abo / monthly payment bandwagon. Reason for choosing Capture One Great reviews and a free test CD in a magazine many years ago. Was never tempted to switch to something else. Review Source AM Aaron M. Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Capture One is a go-to replacement for Lightroom (for me)" April 12, 2022 5.0 I think Capture One may be my favorite photo editing software. There are others that have better features, but none of them do everything as smoothly and as well as Capture One. It's a Jack of All Trades, so to speak. Pros No more monthly subscriptions. Buy it once, own it for life. Performs just as well, if not better than Lightroom on my mid-range PC. Also works really well for Fujifilm raw files without any artifacts. Cons Hard to come up with things I don't like about Capture One. They even have an Express version that you can get for free and try before you buy the full version.

Executive Engineer Transmission Oil & Energy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Refined & Balanced color management photo editing Solution" December 25, 2020 5.0 Its a great opportunity for the professional image processing, customization and editing personnel. Pros It covers a wide range of photo editing features which is required by any photo expert but its color corrections are the best to mention here. HDR management works such that even after the photo has been captured HDR still works. Secondly for a new photo editor its a good place to learn the basics and specific photo customizations. Cons My personal experience with this photo editing soliton is very good. What I would suggest to make a little interactive iconic interface.

Economist Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "excellent tool for photography" June 21, 2021 5.0 With this program I felt more comfortable working and I got used to it and its benefits, it has a very good graphics engine and its tools are advanced but easy to use. Pros is a program that runs smoothly and that features many tools that make working on photos easier. Cons It is not cheap and buying the latest version every year can be expensive and the latest updates have been reducing the brightness of the program. Switched from [Adobe Photoshop](https://www.capterra.com/p/229092/Adobe-Photoshop/) the issue was whether to make a single purchase or pay a subscription and also capture one is more fluid in the equipment I have.

Finance officer Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A resourceful photo editing solution" May 7, 2020 5.0 Pros The most useful part of this software is the ease of integration with most of the popular camera brands such as Canon. Cons Well, other than the price being a bit on the higher end compared to the competition, the software has features that really need improvement and these features include Edge detection which does work well with low-end camera sets.
