Nothing’s perfect, but the frustration with Adobe CC has brought attention to what alternatives we have.
For over a decade I’ve been using LR and developing tools for it like Belladonna Color, Silver and Natural HDR. It’s been the king and it works great overall. But between feeling more and more bloated and the growing exodus as people tire of the Adobe CC model, other choices are rising up. One of those is Capture One and I’ve been using it heavily for about a year now. Thru that experience we also released the Mioxology styles pack for our C1 users to compliment what it can do.
So today I’ve finally compiled my thoughts and some real world examples on these two editing beasts. Should you dump LR for C1 or maybe for something else? Let’s talk about that as you leave your thoughts in the comments.

This is not regular sharpening or interpolation.
“Enhance that image” she said, as the tech on a 1999 486 clicked a his button and made the perp appear from the muddy shadows down the alley. Data that was never there appeared like magic!
Most photographers have seen this many times and laughed thinking of what unsharp mask actually does. For me my everyday tools, software, presets and actions are the simple mainstays of being a photographer. But what if we could have something that could save images we screwed up or that were missing information?
Today we’ll look at two products from Topaz, Sharpen AI and AI Gigapixel. to see if we actually can MAGNIFY and ENHANCE in 2019. Don’t forget to go full screen or watch on YouTube in 4k so you can see what a day ago, you might have thought was impossible.
Also here’s a couple high res examples so you can see just how much is being done before and after. Click on the images to view them large.

Most people shy away from Luminosity masking because it’s kinds of over the top on nerd stuff so today I’ll show you 3 easy ways I use luminosity masking, made even easier with Lumist 2.
We’re going to look at using single layers, group and multi group masking methods that eliminate the need for channel madness and huge files. Don’t forget you can go full screen 4k on this video. Enjoy – Gav
