Hello everyone.

I'm looking to refine my photo editing workflow and trying to decide between these two programs. I shoot a mix of RAW images, and color accuracy is important to me. I've heard Capture 1 vs Lightroom is a common debate, with Capture One offering better color grading and tethering support, while Lightroom seems more user-friendly with a stronger ecosystem.

For those who have used both, which do you prefer and why? Are there specific advantages that make one stand out for professional or hobbyist use? Also, how do they compare in terms of performance and file management?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
