The lack of a highlights tool, and the use of “color rendering” profiles for managing color make for a somewhat unfamiliar and unintuitive interface in DXO.

At first I thought C1P achieved better skin tones and highlight recovery, but once I discovered DXO’s “color rendering” and combined negative exposure with Smart Lighting for highlight recovery, I found it to be just as capable. On both counts, I’ve been able to get better results from DXO.
At this stage, I’m mainly interested in noise reduction and detail extraction, as I shoot m43 for events (low light / high ISO) and landscapes. But, in the meantime I’ve been testing C1P 8 and DXO OP 10. I’m waiting for Lr6 to drop before I download the trial. He's written a post about it, which will go live later this week! Right now I will keep using Aperture because it is easy to have Capture use its library, so I can experiment and learn on the same images in Capture one that I have to process quickly for clients in Aperture.Įditor's note: This final statement about letting Capture One use Aperture's library prompted me to reach out to Lee to expand on this option. One issue is Capture One is way over-priced, especially these days, and they are certainly missing out on a lot of possible clients because most will just blindly go to Lightroom once they compare prices.

So I have started playing with Capture One Pro 8 and after an initial “whoah! That looks complicated!” I am starting to really like it aesthetically (to a degree it follows Apple’s new “flat” GUI, in terms of looks), but more importantly it just is so capable… it seems to surpass Lightroom in so many ways seen from my experimenting, and also from reading what other people say. And when I look at Aperture now, it looks like a relic-a sketched-out beta! I have been trying Lightroom but I just don’t want to go there the interface seems wrong and perhaps a little out of date, furthermore I don’t want to aid Adobe in its monopolising of all things creative. All well and good, but I for one do not want to dedicate more time than I have to learning new software, and I don’t want to start using several things, incorporating a bunch of temporary workarounds, with the hopes that I can ditch them later. Quite a few apologists/optimists argue that it's still early days, and maybe with upgrades more features will be added. Well, we finally got the confirmation recently that Photos.app from Apple would not be any kind of new Aperture it’s aimed squarely at iPhoto users and a lot of them might be unsure if it’s even fit for purpose for some of their workflows.Īpple, it would seem, is no longer interested in real pro software, and prefers to cater for a kind of “beige” demographic.
