Capture One Pro 10 has many of the features found in Lightroom, although still a little cumbersome to use if you have been part of the Adobe club as long as I have. Fast forward to 2016 with the release of Capture One Pro 10 and many people are finally able to say that Adobe has a true competitor. In the Mid 2000’s Capture one released their software to support their cameras, and although not an instant success, it did manage to capture the eye of the pro photography field. They have been producing their own high-end digital medium format camera systems since the early 90’s and are generally considered some of the finest digital cameras ever produced. Just to give you a bit of background on Phase One for those of you that are not familiar with them, Phase One is a digital medium format manufacture. Phase One Capture One Pro 10Ĭapture One Pro 10 by Phase One is not a new software to the field.
I have created a list of my three alternatives to the Creative Cloud subscription. But even with the statement that they will continue supporting the desktop version of Lightroom this change really got me wondering if the subscription based model is something that I want to continue paying into. Although these fears were addressed by Adobe’s product management director Tom Hogarty stating “No, we’re not phasing out Lightroom Classic and remain committed to investing in Lightroom Classic in the future”. Honestly, I had this same worry, thinking that this was just another transition that we would all have to bend over backwards for Adobe. This time the push back was with the possibility that a standalone version of Lightroom would disappear in favor of a cloud based editing system. In general I was quite happy with the system, then Lightroom Classic was announced, bringing with it a new surge of push back from the community. I have to admit that I was one of those people who strongly opposed the change, but like most people I eventually folded and bought into the Creative Cloud system. At the time of the initial transition there was pretty substantial push back from the photography community as people were unwilling to pay a monthly or yearly fee for a product that they were previously able to buy outright. Since 2013 Adobe has been pushing for a subscription based model for the Adobe Suite.
