Setting it up the way you want, fully removing, moving and dragging tools around helps you create a workflow that inspires you. While the Capture One interface might seem overwhelming at first, it’s much more customisable than Lightroom. Lightroom has a more simplified interface with different modules to jump into so there are fewer tools staring back at you all at once.

There are, however, pros and cons of working with sessions over catalogues.Įasily to use and manage, find files, move and organise files. One thing I love about Sessions being free from a catalogue is that I can move the sessions around (all side-car files and edits come with the folder system) and you won’t lose files or have missing files in a catalogue. I didn’t even really bother with setting up a cataloguing system in Capture One as most of the pros I talked to, also liked working with Sessions. Meaning I shoot in Sessions, then combine the photoshoots into a catalogue for a client if I feel the need to. I use a new session for each shoot and only use a catalogue for client projects after the fact. Even with the best intentions and organisation, I find it hard to remember which sets of photos are in which catalogues.Īfter working with hundreds of Capture One Sessions, I can say they are my preference for managing files and shoots.

Either to update our portfolio, share with a client, licence to a new client or share on social media. We always need a system where we can easily locate prior images. The other important aspect any working photographer will know is their file management system. To really grasp the differences between Lightroom and Capture One, I wanted to test all of these features over time. The idea here was that I would need both a range of images, lighting, moods and concepts to really test all of the features.Įditing dark and moody, desaturated photos in winter is very different from bright, colourful and airy photos in summer.ĭifferent food subjects require different local adjustments (masks) or luminosity masks.
