![]() I switched from LR to C1P about 4 years ago. People also print directly from C1, though I understand it to be pretty basic. You can also set up a "process recipe" to print using Qimage - which is what I do. If you need to to do pixel blending like HDR or focus stacks, Photoshop, Affinity or specialist tools like Photomatix/Helicon are the best ways. Capture One's YouTube channel is at: and they have a lot of getting started videos.Ĭ1 does use the concept of layers though not in the "blending of pixels" fashion of something like Photoshop - it's essentially layers of adjustments. It's super fast and I have it watch specific directories where I put my C1 sessions and I'm good.Ī couple of great areas to learn about Capture One and its features is with the webinars at (David Grover is a fantastic teacher) and also another fantastic teacher - Paul Reiffer's YouTube channel. I use PM+ for the catalog side of things. Catalogs in C1 have tended to draw performance complaints from people - the threshold for performance seems to be around 30k images.They have apparently made progress on that front in C1 21 but I haven't tried whether that's the case. A lot of folks use Sessions then import into a master Catalog. ![]() This is folder/file based and represents a given shoot or smaller body of work. The other, and the one I use, is "Sessions". Capture One has two main ways of working - "Catalogs", similar to how LR works and with database, etc. Yes is the answer to all of your questions - obviously I don't know all of the details on how you like to work. Quote from: Yvan Bedard on February 22, 2021, 05:27:48 pm Hi Ray, I also will have to find the time to learn a new raw processor. everything in raw: layers, HDR, printing, some effects), but I'm loosing fate it will improve performance and robustness. ![]() I know I'll miss some capabilities from PhotoRaw (ex. Questions: Will moving to PM+ with Capture One Pro allow me to keep working with my existing photo folders organization? Is it possible to open CO Pro from within PM+? Are the star/ranking systems compatible between PM and CO ? I'm planning to go back to my old workflow with three different softwares which are the best at what they do: (1) the ingest/browse engine (PM+), (2) the best raw processor (Capture One or DXO PL4), and (3) QImage for printing. Thus, instead of using one+application-fits-all. I already use QImage Ultimate to print when PR crashes during printing. I'm very interested to upgrade to PM+ and move to Capture One Pro (and leave the slow buggy one+application-fits-all PhotoRaw). Nevertheless, I have an excellent file organisation system that works for me and this is what I liked with On1 PR: you can work directly from your repositories. I never used their cataloguing capabilities because I don't trust the software (it is not a stable, even 2021 version, and we cannot backup the catalog database). Then, after moving to On1 PhotoRaw, I started to use their brower. I used to use PM v.5 to ingest and browse my photos. ![]() Obviously many people want a one-application-fits-all but I've always used PM, and using PM Plus was a natural extension for what I do. This in combination with C1 sessions works very well for me. It's extremely fast, it has superb and intuitive search capabilities and can "watch" directories for adding images. ![]() That said, I've been using a combination of Photo Mechanic Plus for ingest, backup, keywording, renaming and cataloging, since catalogs are the purpose of the "Plus". I come from Aperture, which was excellent.Ĭ1 does do reasonable metadata/key-wording, smart albums, etc. If you shoot gazillions of images and want to use catalogs, it would probably need to be broken out to a new one once you reach a certain threshold, which I understand to be around 30k images. It has two concepts for ingest: "Sessions", which is file system based, is very fast and is designed to be centered around a shooting session or small group of shooting sessions and "Catalog" which is for large groups of images and involves a database library. Capture one excels at raw processing, color controls, tethering, multi-recipe output and a host of other things. ![]()
