![]() ![]() In most cases, I tend not to recover highlights anywhere near this degree. Essentially, the maximum setting on the sliders in each application has been used. In the image comparison above, the highlights have been fully recovered in each program. Each software seems to manage highlight recovery a little differently. Almost every kind of photography benefits from this. Recovering highlights in an image is obviously quite important. What you see on the back of the camera is going to be really close to what you see in Lightroom. The reason why this could be beneficial to many is that the look of the images when using Lightroom remains consistent. Once again, however, Lightroom seems to be leaning more towards how the original JPEGs look from Canon. The other two files seem to have a harsher look to them, and the lighting around the face seems less controlled. The file doesn't look harsh and has a more pleasing look. In my mind, Capture One does a better job at representing the lighting and skin tones. The other major difference between the files is how the lighting looks. I find that Capture One is a little too aggressive with how much sharpening it applies. Lightroom also does not apply as much sharpening compared to Capture One. Having said that, one could argue that Lightroom does a better job at remaining true to what Canon is aiming to produce with its cameras. However, personally, I find the processing from Capture One to be more appealing. This can be useful if you prefer to have a little more punch in the skin tones. On the other hand, both the Lightroom and Canon JPEG lean a little more in the orange and magenta tones. For instance, the Capture One exported file appears less saturated and leans more into the earthy tones. Even if no adjustments are made to a file, images exported from different software will look distinctly different. When you export images from Capture One or Lightroom, each software will apply its own interpretations. Below we have the first comparison that we can take a look at. This is not a benchmark by any means, although it can serve as a point of reference to some degree. ![]() No adjustments have been made to this image. ![]() This first image that we're looking at is a JPEG file straight out of the Canon EOS R6. We will take a look at some of the other models from Canon too however, in order to accomplish a deeper dive, a single image should suffice. In this first of the series, we will be looking at Canon cameras, focusing primarily on an image taken with the Canon EOS R6 and the RF 50mm f/1.2 lens. For this reason, I'll be comparing both pieces of software with a wide range of camera manufacturers to determine which of the two is, in fact, the better option. As great as Lightroom can be when it comes to bulk editing, Capture One is described as being the better choice if you want to get the most out of your raw files. Here’s the link for more details and tickets.There is a common argument circulating that Capture One will produce better-looking files compared to Lightroom. Hundreds of photographers have already signed up - don’t miss out on this live, two-day, two track event. The Flash Conference (featuring Joe McNally) is coming next month. Here’s wishing you a safe, happy, fun weekend. Thanks to Jessica at Tethertools for reaching out and letting me in on the secret (it’s not really a secret, but that sounds a look more interesting to call it that). You can download a free trial version from their Website. So, that’s the advantage (and why they point it out on their site). Something they’ve never been able to do in Lightroom (but Canon shooters have been able to do from the start). What Nikon users get with this plug-in is the ability to simultaneously write to their camera’s memory card, and the computer they’re tethering with. Well, they told me what it is that Nikon users would love, and I have to admit, I think they’re right (just based on how many Nikon users have complained about this Lightroom tethering feature that Canon shooters get they Nikon users don’t. “The end results are a fast, stable tethering connection with SONY users and added features for Nikon users – seamlessly integrated with Adobe Lightroom Classic.” Here’s the line from their Website that had me scratching my head: Well, it appears the folks at Tethertools got wind of my post on Monday (since they contacted me), but luckily they only had one thing they wanted to address - my comment on why a Nikon user would want to use their Smart Shooter 4 plug-in, since Nikon’s have been able to tether straight into Lightroom for like 11 years. Update on Monday’s Post about the Sony Tethering Plug-in (and why Nikon Users Might Want To Use It) Now that you’ve seen it - am I being too picky on the frame rate thing? Let me know in the comments below. NOTE: There’s no audio - this is just to see the frame rate example. ![]()
