Color Management:Ĭapture One Pro has a better color management system than Lightroom, with more precise color reproduction and support for a wider range of ICC profiles. Raw Processing:īoth Lightroom and Capture One Pro offer excellent raw processing capabilities for Fujifilm cameras, but Capture One Pro tends to produce more natural-looking images with less noise and better detail retention. Here are ten differences between Lightroom vs Capture One Fujifilm for camera owners: Lightroom vs Capture One Fujifilm Interface:Īdobe Lightroom has a simple and intuitive interface with clear labeling and easy navigation, while Capture One Pro offers a more complex and customizable interface that requires some learning to navigate efficiently.

The skin tones of Olivia’s face are far more accurate on the Capture One photo, and her hair sharper and more defined.Ĭapture One is able to process the warmer colours of her hair colour, as well as her facial colours where she has a slight colour of red from being in the sun. As you can see, Capture One has warmer skin tones and far more colour and tone definition in the hair. The photo below shows the difference between Adobe Lightroom vs Capture One Fujifilm, and how differently they handle the skin tones on Fujifilm RAW photos. My experience with Adobe Lightroom has showed that Fujifilm RAW files become ‘muddy’ looking, with the details far less defined. Among them is the Output Recipe and how that is defined - important since I assume your sample images are both screenshot grabs so the RAW conversion result will likely have been influenced by several possible adjustment steps in the processing including the output recipe (or its Export version of the recipe.I have found that my RAW files are treated completely differently by Capture One, compared to Adobe Lightroom. C1 always allows (and indeed encourages) the user to go back and use the original source file as part of the preparation process.Īll of that said there are a number of things that can influence the look of the image as an output. One of the benefits of C1 compared to some editors is that you are not "fixing" a starting point conversion from the RAW file. If you prefer greater contrast than you find you are getting on import it is easy enough to define some parameters that would add greater contrast effect at that point - but then it's not difficult to do the same thing after import and in bulk if required. Importing one at a time might be OK but then it would probably be easier and quicker to apply the changes after import. You can, indeed, choose to set up specific default parameters to use for the camera and set presets and styles to be used on import BUT, where you have a varied selection of images shot in different lighting conditions it may be tricky to come up with a configuration that suits all of the images that you are about to import. However, especially with Fuji in respect of the potential for the film simulation profiles, the starting point for see what you have got would be the Curve options. Well the jpg will have been created in a narrower colour range and with added compression thus removing some potential detail so I'm not sure about that as a starting point!
