![]() Having said that, some readers have written to me to say that they think Capture One’s HDR implantation is better than Lightroom’s, and perhaps in certain circumstances it is.Īt the end of the day, at least these features exist now and hopefully will improve in the future to include some missing functionality. I have no major issues with the Panoramas, but I think the HDR needs work. Obviously, there is a degree of subjectivity into how good or bad the implementation of these features is in Capture One 22. Inability to apply colour profiles to HDR images. ![]() Currently, only optimised for three shot HDRs.Doesn’t automatically apply lens corrections.Lacks deghosting controls, so can cause fringing and artefacts in bracketed shots if there is movement (water, trees etc).Handy feature to let you scale the resulting Panorama to a smaller size.Doesn’t automatically crop or offer the ability to automatically crop.Mostly as good as Lightroom, with occasional seams depending on the image.If you haven’t seen my review, I suggest you check it out, but for a quick summary, here are the issues and benefits: Panoramas With the latest release, that issue has now been addressed.Īs mentioned in my previous review of Capture One 22, the implementation of both functions is listed compared to Lightroom, with the HDR merging being more problematic. One of the key reasons to seat with Lightroom for those otherwise considering a switch was the lack of HDR or Panorama tools in Capture One. I think that is the difference between the two.Ĭapture One is more about being able to control your adjustments in layers, with masks, whereas in Lightroom, the emphasis is more on making complex masks rather than controlling the adjustments, if that makes sense? In other words, in my opinion, Capture One seems more about the adjustments, whereas Lightroom seems to be more about the masks. On the other hand, in Capture One, you can apply just about any adjustment to a layer, and control the overall effect with an opacity slider. You can also duplicate masks and invert them, making it easy to have one adjustment apply to a subject, and a different adjustment apply to the background. ![]() The sky section and subject selection is really useful too. In particular, not having to rasterise gradients to add or subtract from them is a big plus. In my opinion, Lightroom 11 has closed the gap significantly, and while it doesn’t offer all the functions of Capture One’s layers, the way it’s masks can interact, is better. So as you can see, both have their pros and cons. Can’t do the equivalent of a filled mask.No overall opacity control for masked adjustments.You can’t use curves or colour grading with a mask. Limited number of adjustments can be applied to a mask compared to Capture One.You can save masks as part of a preset.Luminance and colour keys are treated like gradient or brush masks and can intersect, add or subtract from any of the other mask types.In other words, you don’t have to rasterise the gradients to remove parts with a brush. You can subtract masks of different types, and keep the parameters non-destructive.You can intersect one mask with another.You can store AI masks as part of a preset.AI masks can be copied and pasted to other images and dynamically updated.Sky and Subject selection AI masks are fast and mostly accurate. ![]()
