I have my Capture One Pro catalog on a computer residing on an external harddrive, this is a networked drive on both my Laptop and my desktop. With Capture One Pro I can easily pick up where I left up on my laptop whenever I want by closing out of the program, and opening up the catalog through the network.

It's super fast and responsive when working on my computer even with super high-res 80+MB RAW file sizes that the Sony A7RII produces.

Batch export allows for you to run multiple processes at once, so you don't have to run one batch at one preset at a time (like in Lightroom)... this saves tons of time as I can click once and walk away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their support on Facebook and their website has been less than satisfactory. There was an issue with my license once they switched to version 11 and the amount of back and forth to solve my problem was way to much.

There was also a price increase from Capture One Pro 10 to Capture One Pro 11, and the cost to upgrade is pretty unreasonable compared to the full price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The precision and accuracy of Capture One Pro gives me the tools I need for creating the art/photography I imagine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve for knowing how things work, but after you figure it out, you'll wonder why you didn't start using Capture One Pro earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tethered shooting capability is really top notch. Creating and customizing styles has streamlined our production process in a way that we couldn't achieve with previous software. Extensive color editing and batching tools. Supports multiple image formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not optimized for Windows. We bought some Capture One 10 licenses (upgrading from C1 9, which was upgraded from C1 8) only to discover there is a fatal glitch that doesn't allow you to process your changes on Windows. Works fine on Mac. We have been in contact with Phase One and have had zero results. Hesitant to upgrade to Capture One 11 for fear this issue will persist and leave our PC users unable to use the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CaptureOne is a powerful software for camera tethering as well as photo retouching. It is extremely thorough, quick, and customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that there isn't a better way to organize photographs or to store a library of photographs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use Capture One Pro for commercial photo jobs. It is great for tethering and produces some of the best colors of any raw image processor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Capture one will lose connection with my Canon camera and will need to be restarted to be able to reconnect. This can be a hassle if it happens during the middle of a shoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The organization and cataloging features are really nice, I like how it sorts each session into "Capture," "Selects," "Output," etc. It is really helpful for organizing and keeping track of photos. Also, the tethering function is a lifesaver. I love not having to touch my camera if I want to change a setting mid-shoot. Accidentally moving the position of the camera while trying to adjust a setting once it is set up and focused correctly is a nightmare. The tethering allows me to change the settings with a few simple clicks on the camera. If I want to see how a photo might look with a few adjustments I can start to edit it right after its been captured; there is no need to open other software. Once I am done with a shoot I can make as many copies (or variants) of each photo as I want. If I have retouched a photo in a certain way I can then make variants of those photos as well. In regards to the quality of the retouching capabilities, I still use Photoshop for a decent amount of my retouching work, but Capture One definitely has some strong points. Overall the High Dynamic Range (highlights and shadows) works much stronger in Capture One. The sharpening tools are more sophisticated than Camera RAW and don't seem to leave the images as grainy afterwards. I also highly recommend taking advantage of the Keystone tool for any photos that look crooked or as though the plane of reference might be off. I also should mention the selective color tool is amazing. It is so much stronger than anything you can do in Photoshop. Once you have edited your photos you can easily output them to other programs such as Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the masking tool has some nice capabilities that might take a little longer to complete in Photoshop, I don't think it is as user friendly. I still do all of my masking and layer work in Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Capture One Pro is a well worth it program that is a great way to assess photos directly from camera to computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You definitely need a little bit of training in Capture One Pro to get the swing of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is so easy to capture screenshots. I can take pictures and get them in my documents with ease. The pictures also look good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It might take some time to retake the screenshot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has the most accurate colors and easy to navigate menus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took getting used to when coming from Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controlling the camera actions through the app is a key feature. When I'm not able to actually get to the camera, I can change shutter speeds and f-stops easily. The layout of how Capture One stores the files very useful, having all the shot files in the capture folder, processed files in the output folder etc. Even the deleted files go to a special trash folder and don't reply get trashed, making it easy to retrieve any file you may have trashed accidentally.

Not much I don't like about Capture One. There are some tethering problems that occur occasionally but after a reset of the camera and the app it's usually solved. It also does seem to like to crash unexpectedly which puts your session and photos in danger of getting lost. Most photographers combat that by having all files sent to a backup drive while shooting minimizing the chances to lose all files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
