They end up being just about the same price after just a year on Adobe’s plan.įiltering photos by lens is fast, intuitive, and efficient in Photo Mechanic Plus An example of my previous post-processing workflow Photo Mechanic and Capture One, however, offer a one-time purchase that includes updates and discounts on upgrades. This includes all updates, but Adobe still recognized it has the monopoly here and forced everyone into a subscription plan. This really bothers some Fujifilm photographers I don’t view my images this way but the fact that it still happens is unfortunate.Īnd if you want to use Lightroom at all? You’ve gotta pay a monthly subscription. It leaves little “artifacts” that you might notice in the greens when zoomed in on an image. A jack of all trades and master of none.Īnd for Fujifilm RAW photographers, Lightroom has another downside in that it doesn’t demosaic the X-Trans processor very well. Because it can do it all, the program is extremely bloated.
It offers a streamlined workflow and simplicity that is, without a doubt, important.īut it doesn’t do any of those things very well when compared to the other programs mentioned. You can edit, catalog, process, and publish from one program, which is very appealing to many people. Then there’s Lightroom, which I’m sure we’re all familiar with. Navigating through your catalog is a royal pain, and trying to quickly filter your photos by lens, color tag, keyword, etc is literally impossible. I gave it a year to see if I could get used to it, but it all seemed like an afterthought from the developers. The way in which you have precise control over color is superb and far better than anything else you can find anywhere.Īnd it’s not just the color tools Capture One also has exceptional toning tools, layer adjustments, brushes, gradients, and more.Ĭapture One also handles Fujifilm RAW files better than Lightroom, and also includes the film simulations found in Fujifilm cameras (like the real ones developed by Fujifilm, not the imposters found in Lightroom).īut Capture One has lousy editing and cataloging. I love Capture One for its post-processing capabilities. It’s crucial for photographers with large libraries. It’s a way for you to search through all photos by keyword, the camera used, create collections (portfolios), and more. The “catalog” refers to a database of your photos and their attributes. It’s simply a lightning-fast file browser that allows you quickly edit your photos. But it will never change an existing file.The Structured Keywords tool in Photo Mechanic is a huge timesaver and critical to both organization and stock photographyīut Photo Mechanic (standard) has no cataloging or processing capability. When it is creating an output file it can write metadata to it of course because it is a new file. Only to the sidecar files it produces for edits.

You probably only want to use Full Sync for some sort of planned batch load.īear in mind that C1 will never write to an original file - i.e. I feel sorry for the non-technical people out there. I have "Full Sync" on, I've tried every combination of writing an XMP sidecar and writing to the RAW that I can see in preferences. But when I make changes in Capture One they aren't recorded and reflected in Photo Mechanic. Photo Mechanic has some nice presets so that its color ranking scheme and metadata are easily understood when the folder is opened in Capture One. I'm a tech guy but have made very little progress on this today. Is there any good tutorial on the settings necessary to get Photo Mechanic and Capture One to work together seamlessly?
