When I adjusted the default settings in LR to my liking, I found that there was little to choose between the two programs. This apparently is due to the fact that the default sharpen settings (and maybe even the contrast settings) in C1 are more aggressive than those in LR.

However, I was prompted to post because of claims that C1 was much "better" at sharpening than LR.

The key to LR is taking time to learn how to use it.Ĭlick to expand.You are at least partially correct. Several months later Adobe came out with new colour profiles (Adobe Colour being the new default) and capture sharpening was bumped to 40. Basically little editing needed when you open a file. This video was released before Adobe Colour became the default.Ĭ1 came out with an official video showing how much better files looked "out of the box". A few months after I decided to go with the plan I came across this video. I found all the sharpening related adjustments in C1 and IMO I can do as good or better using LR. LR works with both the detail panel and export page to produce optimal IQ - based on the media it will be viewed on. It is even better now since Texture was added. I prefer LR's fine detail's especially with wicked cropping, which is what I need for wildlife photography.

C1 pro is a good developer but it didn't blow my socks off.

I only work on capture, creative and export sharpening. When I test a developer the last thing I care about is colour, noise etc. When LR went subscription I didn't want any part of it. Since looking at this fellows work in 2006 I strived to achieve the same clarity. I think I am learning (maybe too slowly!) that it really doesn't matter which program is used - they are all capable of producing excellent results.įor now, I have no intention of leaving LR. The initial post was partly due to that quest for a "better" editor, but specifically related to image sharpness. I am sure I could be happy with Capture One, or ON 1 Raw, or Luminar, but I don't believe that they are, for what I do, better than LR. While there are no doubt differences in the end result, I have not yet found any other editor that consistently gives a better result than LR. I happen to like LR, but also like to try out other editors to see if there is any noticeable difference. It seems that some people (not on this forum!) like to be very critical of LR, and claim that almost any other editor is superior to LR in one way or another. Phil, you are correct - I did not identify which photo came from which app, since I did not want people to decide which one appeared sharper based simply on knowing the app used. Anyone can view the live shoot as long as they have URL LR generates although they'll need a (free) Adobe account to apply ratings, flags and comments.Thank you Phil and John for your responses - much appreciated. However you tether - you can also opt to have Lightroom sync the images to Lightroom web, so clients can rate the images themselves anywhere on the Intarweb. This does away with all of the contact sheet, back and forth with the client after the shoot - if they "oo", I mark it, and when the shoot is over, I already have the shot selections. I do this to get the stars, comments and other flags I've put on the images during the shoot. I don't use these jpegs after the shoot, however I do save the shoot out as a catalogue without the images and merge the data into the main catalogue after the import of the raw files off the cards is complete. This of course has the advantage that there are no wires for me to trip over. Lightroom monitors the import folder and displays them. It transmits basic small jpegs to the laptop in the studio. I know a lot of people say they can't get these to work: mine has worked like a charm for 4 years.

My solution for previews in the Studio now though is an old X2 8GB EyeFi card. Maybe the D750 is different to the older D800/D810s that I use. I wonder how they've done that, as it's the camera firmware that decides whether to save to the card or not. However I still don't tether because of the not saving to the card issue - my workflow involves cards fed into my developing workstation - I don't want to have to get the laptop out, fire that up and copy stuff from it over WiFi so I can import into my main LR catalogue, so Smartshooter looks very interesting. Just increasing the cross section on the wires fixed it for Lightroom. It also automates focus stacking which is really cool.

It was an Adobe issue though, as those same cables worked fine with Control My Nikon, a £30 remote control app that I use for product shots as it allows full control of the camera from the laptop and provides focus peaking on live view too. I'd tried powered repeaters before that and none of them worked with Lightroom. My tethering problems with LR mostly went away when I swapped to a fatter cable from Tethertools.
