![]() In my opinion C1 is not very stable with its grafic cache. ![]() They are easier to create and to adjust to my needs. As C1 use ICC profiles I never looked back since. That was the reason I switched to C1 (pro) but also started to interest me in profiling my camera. When the a7RII was released two and a half years ago the LR-profile of it was mediocre. So that's why I employ the strategy of putting everything in Lightroom and only use C1 for some specific images where I like its output better but for the majority of my images LR gives me essentially what I need. Also there is no "history" in C1, so when you have tinkered with an image it's hard to go back to an intermediate stage you liked better (unless you made a snapshot there), while in LR you can trace back every step you took. etc.) C1 does some of that but more clunky and some elements are fully missing. However I would not be able to live without the catalog type controls Lightroom offers (keywording, labels, rating, collections, geomapping, etc. then I usually find C1 does a better job in getting closer to the image I want. Only some images also get developed in C1, especially if there are lots of bright reds and/or bright greens in there. My own experience is that I have all my files in Lightroom and develop ~95% of my images in there. He also forgets that you can easily change which profile you use, but that's equally true for both softwares. The difference between LR and C1 is caused by the difference in the demosaicing algorithm (process version) and the difference in camera profile. Only problem is in the end he mixes the Adobe Process version with using different camera profiles but that's just a detail. Thanks for the link Doug, interesting video. Would be very interested to hear from others if they have tried Capture One and preferred its features to LR/PS and subsequently taken the opportunity to switch over. Therefore it comes down to the features and capabilities plus ease of use (or in my case, an old dog learning new tricks.). So two & a half years of Adobe subscriptions = a full copy of Capture One - by which time Phase One would probably require payment for an upgrade or two. By comparison the Adobe subscription is costing me (in round figures) circa €135/year (at current exchange rate). Upgrading to Capture One Pro Sony would cost €79 + VAT (a non-starter as I have other cameras) or to the 'Full Monty' Capture One Pro €335 (€279 + VAT). Yes it is cut-down (obviously) but has the layout and basic features. Having been a long-time PS and LR user (now LR CC & PS on the subscription plan) I have occasionally wondered how Capture One compared and this download has at least given me the opportunity to get an idea. I noticed that there was a leaflet with my A6500 offering a free download of Capture One Express for Sony cameras.
