then Capture One has added Speed Edit mouse/keyboard shortcuts, a Dehaze tool, panorama stitching and HDR merge, HEIF/HEIC support, Smart Adjustments for standardizing a ‘look’ across a series of images, a new Culling window, the ability to store adjustments as layers within presets and Capture One Live client/colleague collaboration, now free. We last reviewed Capture One Pro 21, and since. The editing tools are somewhat different to Lightroom’s with a little more depth in the controls and a system of adjustment layers and masks which make almost all the tools available for any layer or adjustment. One difference is that images can also be copied into the catalog as ‘managed’ files within the catalog itself, not external ‘referenced’ files. In this mode, it’s like a much more powerful version of Adobe Bridge.Ĭapture One catalogs work in the same way as Lightroom Classic, showing both folders and images on your hard drive and ‘virtual’ albums and smart albums which can be organized in their own hierarchical system of folders and sub-folders.

This is one key difference from Lightroom in that with sessions Capture One shows folder contents live without the need for any import process, with all the editing tools but only some organizing tools intact. All the editing adjustments are non-destructive and stored either in the catalog file or as ‘sidecar’ files if it’s being used in ‘session’ mode.

Capture One can work with a catalog like Lightroom, but it also offers a Sessions mode with live folder viewing, all the editing tools and many organizing/filtering tools too.
