Lightroom vs capture one2/1/2024 For me, culling in Lightroom Classic is much improved over CC 2015, but different people are reporting different results, so your mileage may vary.Ĭapture One's culling experience was a bit faster than LR Classic. I ran into a photo not instantly loading only twice through the approximately 250 photos. It took me about 6 and a half minutes to cull through the photos in Lightroom Classic CC. Culling I had to restart All-New Lightroom CC to fix this error. Import winner: Capture One, due to speed and simplicity. These were not enough to tell me the difference between a good shot and a great shot, but I could usually identify the bad shots even at low resolution. I was looking at pretty low resolution previews during that time. Unlike in previous Lightroom versions, I was able to move photo to photo with relative ease during the import. Once it did load, the import took just over 8 minutes for me. First, the preview screen that came before I initiated the import took quite a while to load. If the asset management is good inside the software, it may not even matter how the files are stored on the computer.ĭisapointingly, all-new Lightroom CC was the slowest of all on the import. Though it wasn't as obvious, I was able to recreate the file structure however, I'm not sure how much this matters. Initially, I was concerned that I would not be able to replicate my file structure from LR Classic. The Capture One import process is simpler on the surface than LR Classic. I was able to move through my photos in Capture One with instant or near instant load time even before the software generated the previews. The good news is that it didn't really matter. At first, I felt shocked by how long this took. Preview generation in Capture One began at the time of import, and took about 13 minutes on my system. The initial import took just under 7 minutes this was about 5% faster than LR Classic. Importing into Capture One was a simpler process than LR Classic. Not making the “Embedded & Sidecar” option the default one was a miss you should change the preview setting to match mine. I'm used to it, so I don't struggle with it, but it is confusing to the new user. I find the Lightroom Classic import screen to be a little clunky. Undoubtedly, it would have taken longer to generate smart previews, which was part of my workflow prior to the “classic” designation. I used the new “Embedded & Sidecar” setting. On my system, importing 262 images into Lightroom Classic CC took a little over 7 minutes. Import For some reason, this is not the default setting. ![]() For those of us using Lightroom already, the best play for the future will be to stay put in the Adobe ecosystem if each of us can manage it and watch the all-new Lightroom CC transform the industry as it matures. If you are currently a Capture One user, I'd say stay put for now. In this isolated moment, it is the best option however, moments are not isolated, and we have the future to consider. If you like Lightroom but can't use it because of speed or instability, you will probably like Capture One. It has a more developed feature set with more customization available. This is why I decided to revisit the comparisons between Adobe's current Lightroom offerings and Capture One Pro from Phase One.įor the working professional photographer at this snapshot in time, it is clear to me that Capture One Pro is the better option. This is the time for anyone who edits photos to consider whether it is time to follow Adobe where they will go, or to move to an image editor that is walking a different path. Lightroom Classic won't be leaving us anytime soon, but it's clear that it won't be around forever. All-New Lightroom CC, with its cloud storage and artificial intelligence powered search is the future for Adobe. ![]() The future of Lightroom has been quiet and mysterious for the past few years, but at this point, Adobe has made their intentions fairly clear. The photography world is on fire right now with all the changes to Adobe's non-destructive photo editor product, Lightroom CC.
