I used Aurora and it’s fine, but I’m finding Capture one handles detail so well and it’s much easier to get an image that looks like it’s been taken on this planet that I don’t think I’ve opened it this year. It’s very limited in what it’s going to produce but I’ve never been able to get similar results in other programs. ![]() ![]() For record photos getting around heat haze etc I’d love it.įor “hostile” processing I use Silver Efex Pro and have had lots of fun. I’m convinced that for a beautiful wall hanger you’ve got to get it right in camera. Yes, they brought up detail and did amazing things, but these are what I’d call rescue programs, and when I compared a properly taken photo to an almost that was rescued it was a no brainer. I’ve tried (2 days of testing) Topaz sharpen and denoise and really wanted to like them. I do sometimes also seriously over process and I’ve had great fun and results with Capture One. I don’t use plug ins as I mostly only make modest adjustments relying on the original image. I’ve reprocessed nearly all the images I liked and prefer the end result in every case. The good side of Capture One, and why I love it compared to LR is the detail it gets out, the use of layers, and the colour management. It works for me as I do things in an unusual way (I have subject folders so only populating a small part of the catalogue), but if you’re used to working with the entire catalogue it has to populate the database each time and for me it’s about 1000 images a minute. ![]() The Capture One DAM is in desperate need of updating. The two great things I found with LR was the DAM that if done properly is amazing, and its friendliness for hopping in and out of other programs. I went from NX-2 (now unsupported) to LR (loss of trust issues) to Luminar (started going in a direction I wasn’t interested in) and have ended up in Capture One.
