Session mode is for photographers with a linear capture-select-edit-process workflow ideal for commercial/professional commissions – you shoot your images, choose the best, share them with the client and then archive the job before moving on to the next. Sessions and CatalogsĬapture One can work either in Session mode or Catalog mode. Capture One has released a paid for Capture One Live service for remote collaboration, though, and does say that an iPad edition is in the pipeline, which hints at a Creative Cloud style setup. Capture One is designed very much for a desktop/laptop-based professional workflow, whereas Lightroom has a much broader base amongst both professional and amateur photographers and social media/mobile photography users. Like Lightroom, Capture One can organise your images in flexible, searchable databases, or ‘catalogs’, and both can apply non-destructive adjustments to your images, working seamlessly across RAW files, JPEGs, TIFFs and even Photoshop PSD files.Ĭapture One doesn’t offer an equivalent to Adobe’s Creative Cloud ecosphere – you can’t share images in the cloud with a mobile or web version. Capture One has powerful image organising and searching tools, including Albums and Smart Albums (screenshot from Capture One 21). Keep in mind that Capture One does issue updates for each major version, so the latest 15.2.0 update adds improved perspective controls and more, which makes it an even more attractive upgrade proposition than when it was first launched. For professionals it seems a relatively modest outlay to stay up to date with a key professional tool for enthusiasts, it’s a slightly different call – you could always skip a version before upgrading, unless you need new camera support. If you own a perpetual license for Capture One 21 or earlier, you will have to pay to upgrade, and you will have to decide if you think it’s worth it. If you are a subscriber, you will automatically get the Capture One 22 update free. Be aware, though, that it’s around 2-3 times the price that Lightroom Classic ever was to buy, and that the monthly subscription for Capture One is more than twice that for the Adobe Photography Plan – and you don’t get all the extras provided by Adobe, including Photoshop. I asked Capture One to confirm this and whether there was a fixed term, and was told that there is currently no time limit, though it would depend on a unbroken subscription.Ĭapture One is available both for a single one-off fee or on subscription. If you use any of these on a subscription, Capture One will automatically upgrade you to the full Pro subscription at no extra charge. This costs $9.99/month, which will sound a lot to enthusiasts and hobbyists but could quickly pay for itself for professionals courting big clients.Īs of the Capture One 15.2.0 update, the branded Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm editions have been officially discontinued.
