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.
So I had to look for alternatives, and although my lovely Fujifilm X-E3 is still supported in Lightroom standalone, I figured out that, since I am going to leave Lightroom anyway at some point, I better do it now.
Luckily we live in times, where there are a lot of valuable alternatives, such as:
And after a summer spent at home hiking my mountains (you can see my wife and me caching sunrise at 8,200 feet here) and editing pictures with a mix of different software, I decided to make Capture One Pro my main software of choice.
And yes… X-Trans files and Capture One do get along very well :).
The learning curve?
Well, that actually went faster than I’d have expected, as Capture One is just a very good software overall, but there are also lots of quick tip C1 youtube videos you can check out for help.
We have shared Capture One tutorials and quick tips already in past roundups:

And today, down below, you’ll see a few more of them.
Since so many fellow Fujifilm X shooters are switching to Capture One Pro 12 in the last few months, I think it’s a good idea to share a Capture One tips and tricks roundup that might help you to quickly establish a new and fast workflow for you.
However, if you are still on the fence, there is also the free Capture One Express version, and we will include a few tutorials in the roundup.
Thomas Fitzgerald tested it and has written about it on his blog here. His conclusion:
The changes are very, very subtle to the naked eye.
The update fixes some issues that can occur when there is very fine repetitive detail such as tree branches, leaves, foliage and things like that.
It’s as if they have improved the anti-aliasing algorithms ever so slightly.
It’s something most people probably won’t notice, and they didn’t have to do this, but it pretty much eliminates most rendering artefacts from X-Trans files.
