![]() The ability to save layers in Styles is new too. It works really well! It’s lifted the rather dark and muddy tones in this image (left) to recreate the bright warm tones of my reference image (the ‘after’ version is on the right of this split screen view). Initially it’s been optimized for wedding and event photography. The new Smart Adjustments feature matches Exposure and White Balance settings across a batch of images. You can set a ‘reference’ photo with the look you like and then Capture One will adjust the Exposure, White Balance or both across the rest of your images to give them the same look. The Smart Adjustments feature looks interesting too, especially for wedding or event photographers, for example, who are shooting under rapidly changing conditions. I’ve written a separate post on how to use the Capture One Cull view. It attempts to group similar images and offers tools for previewing and comparing as you work out which are the ‘keepers’. One of my favorites is the new Cull view, which can be used both when importing images and when sorting through images you’ve already imported into your catalog.

Capture One’s new Cull view is extremely useful for thinning out duplicates and technical failures in long photo shoots and picking out the ‘keepers’. 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. 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 such as Photoshop and cloud storage. This looks like it’s designed for a tethered shooting workflow and not as a Lightroom mobile style app that synchronizes with a cloud-based photo library.Ĭapture One 23 is available both for a single one-off fee or on subscription. There is also a Capture One for iPad, sold separately, which I have not tested yet. The free version allows a single session at a time lasting no more than 24 hours, but that may be enough on its own – or may give you an idea about the usefulness of the full version.
