The specific differences of the 2 photo editing software Camera Raw and Capture one:

Color temperature

Color temperature Camera raw Color temperature Camera raw
  • Capture One 20: Often tend to read the file with yellow and red tone so the color temperature will also be higher.
  • Camera Raw: The ability to read files is poorer, with lighter colors, so the color temperature is also lower. On a camera displaying Kelvin, the color correction pressure on the C1 will be stronger and always more golden.

Highlight

  • Capture One 20: Its downside is that it cannot capture the parts with strong light.
  • Camera Raw: Highlight is very good at eliminating pixel C1 after subtracting but does not affect too much

Black

  • Capture One 20: For dark areas, details are in the form of HDR.
  • Camera Raw: Overlay on dark areas. The next big difference between C1 & CMR is that when you pull Black on the CMR, it will be on a light layer, but especially with C1 the details are very strong and will have a bit of HDR direction.

Vibrance

Camera Raw helps to increase the saturation quite gently.The downside of C1 is that there is no Vibrance part, only has CMR in cases the image lacks colors such as blue, yellow ... However, users can increase Vibrance application with saturation increasing formula. Suitable for images lack blue color, especially sea images, and lack of blue, you can increase Vibrance but the C1 side will not be able to do this.

Levels

Capture One has the advantage of level that Camera Raw doesn't. This tool is similar to the Levels tool in Photoshop software and has a lot of conditions that are flexible, easy to change color and more gentle light is very useful.

Curve

Capture One 20 has more lumia for light and dark correction but does not affect CMR saturation too much. Since there is no Lumia tool in the Curve, the appearance of Lumia in C1 will also become the advantage for C1 in the present time with the Curve tool.

Color Balance

Color Balance is a color wheel that can be adjusted on 3 areas: “Shadow”, “Midtone” and “Highlight”, very suitable for those who want to make the wrong image quality that haunt the highlights or shadows. Color-Balance-capture-one.jpg

Layer

This is a huge advantage of the Capture One tool over Camera Raw. Capture One seems to understand users very well, so it has provided users with color correction interventions on raw files with layers that make it easy for users to dynamically edit. In particular, the Luma Range tool on C1 will help users interfere with the light color of the effects on the light and dark bands.
