Back in 2017, I stopped using Adobe Lightroom for various reasons. It starts with how I perceived Adobe’s ethics and treatment of photographers, how the software performed, manufacturer recommendations, etc. Instead, I switched to Capture One and made it the standard for the Phoblographer’s testing of cameras and lenses. Real photographers who read the Phoblographer caught on too. These days, Capture One is taught to students before they go into the studios of real photographers these days because of the demand by higher end houses. It’s been pretty universally proven that you can get much better colors out of Capture One with more ease than you can with Adobe Lightroom. There’s good reasons for that. But with the way that the modern web works, it makes so much more sense to return to Adobe.
