Thomas Heaton Fujifilm X-T3 Editing: “Capture One is Amazing, I can See Why Pros Use it, but if You Use Lightroom, Get This Plug-in!”

In his latest video (see below), Thomas Heaton talks about the photography software he use to process his Fujifilm X-T3 RAW files. He tested

Here are some considerations:

  • Lightroom only: worm effect. Strange things go on. Images do not look great
  • Lightroom with enhanced details: cleans up files, no worms, initially files look better. But he realized he loses lots of details actually, and hence looks softer
  • Capture One: file looks fantastic. C1 does an amazing job. Nice clean file. He can see why Pros use that
  • Iridient X Transformer: simple to install. Converts Fuji RAW files to DNG file and takes care of sharpening. The results are very close to Capture One results. Image looks cleaner, better. Very impressed with Iridient X Transformer

And in real life? Thomas printed the same image using the 4 different methods. He can’t see any difference. You need a loupe and super close, to see difference.

The only real noticeable difference appears during the editing process. You look at high res monitor super magnified. But when printed, you don’t really see difference.

But although in real world you can’t see real difference, you want to work with the best file possible, enjoy the processing. He recommends Capture One or Iridient X Transformer.

Thomas Heaton decided to use Iridient X Transformer. It’s almost as good as Capture One, and he can keep all his Lightroom workflow.

But if you don’t have problems to switch, he would recommend Capture One.

Capture One 20 – Top 5 Things You Need to Know and Every New Feature Explained

Capture One

As you know, Phase One has released Capture One 20.

I thought it might be helpful to share a few tutorial videos, not only about Capture One 20, but also about Capture One Pro 12, as many have either not yet upgraded, and because tips for C12 are useful also for C20.

Also, we share some C1 styles created by Michael Damböck.

It Get’s Even Better: Current Capture One Pro 12 User can Save 30% on Capture One Pro 20 Upgrade

Capture One is offering a 20% discount to all existing Capture One Pro 12 customers, who pre-order Capture One Pro 20.

And to make the good news even better, I have been informed by FR-readers that our exclusive 10% discount code (OCT-AF-P89) works in addition to the 20% discount! The reader wrote:

I got email from capture one to upgrade from 12 to 20, with 20% discount. What is best currently your 10% code works as well reducing even further. So for example I bought upgrade to PRO (previously had only fuji paid version) and it cost me 107£ with all discounts. While currently upgrade only to 12 pro would cost me 170£.

Now, the 20% + 10% deal combo is nothing Capture One officially told me, but it works, as you can see from the screenshot below.

Keep in mind that our exclusive 10% discount code OCT-AF-P89 expires on October 31, so only until then you save 30%. After that, you’ll save “only” 20%.
