Importing the same image into Lightroom and the results just look so flat! This could be due to Capture One Pro adjusting your images slightly on import based on your camera’s EXIF data. Straight off I feel my RAW files look much better in Capture One than in Lightroom. I’ve also noticed that the Capture One catalogue file is much smaller compared to Lightroom which for my catalogue seems enormous, but this may change with the more work I do in Capture One Pro.Īnother thing I find great with Capture One is you can have more than one catalogue open at once unlike Lightroom where you can only have one open at a time, which at times can be a pain, especially when you have numerous catalogues for things like different countries or jobs. The layout of Capture One is different to Lightroom which may take some getting used to, but what’s great about Capture One is you can add and remove tools as you need to, and you can also move them around the window, so nothing is stuck in one position like with Lightroom.Įverything in the Capture One catalogue is contained in one file, unlike Lightroom where you have a catalogue file and a preview file. During migrating Capture One brings across all your Lightroom collections and your edits, and ratings too. It’s quite uncomplicated migrating from Lightroom to Capture One, like in Lightroom where you can import other programs catalogues, Capture One has the same functionality, depending on the size of your Lightroom catalogue it can take up to a few hours. Straight off Capture One Pro hardly uses any CPU, and at a push will use up to 140%, and no surprise my Mac’s was cool to the touch and my fans hadn’t come on once. I decided to re-download the trial of Capture One to see how it would compare. No matter what settings I turend off and on, there was no change. Some people with even more powerful computers were having the same problems. I began Googling and noticed on the Adobe forums that this issue seemed to be happening to a lot of people and not just me. I’m not surprised my Mac was getting so hot. I opened up Activity Monitor and noticed that at times Lightroom was using as much as 400% of the CPU, which was crazy. Towards the end of the year I started to notice my Mac would end up getting incredibly hot, and the fans would come on when I just doing something simple like working through images to make selections. I had just bought the new Macbook Pro with touchbar, so things were nice and speedy. Editing images in Capture One Pro 11 can take some getting used to.įor a few weeks things with the updated Lightroom seemed to work out ok.
