Reading mode: Light Dark

Why the lightroom renders much more noise compared to CaptureOne?

Not just hearsay and studying tests. Some of us have hands on experiences with both C1 and LR. LR works very well for me though I will admit that initially, when I began to use it some years ago, it took a little while before I got my presets where I wanted them. The out of the box Adobe settings were not there. Like I implied in an earlier post, I strongly belive one can get excellent results with both C1 and LR provided appropiate settings/presets/defaults are chosen. The best PP/RAW converter programs is the one you know inside out from many, many hours of practical use may that be C1, LR, DXO or something else.

Yes,all very well but is it reasonable to expect someone who is interested in photography to obtain a doctorate in darkroom geekery just to enjoy their photography ?

In photography, as in so many things, the more you put in, the more you get out. If you don't want to get a lot out, you don't have to. For many, OOC JPEGs are fine. Then there's no "darkroom geekery" at all.

Now that we have so much automation, photography is much more approachable than it ever has been. That doesn't mean that it's any easier to do it with excellence.

Well put!

If you don't want to use any of the options LR offers, you are of course wasting your money if you buy it. It's simply not the right program for you. C1 in a slightly scaled down version comes free with Sony cameras, and if its out of the box factory settings pleases you and is all you'll ever use, it's of course a better and more cost-effective choice for you. But that doesn't mean that LR is a mediocre program, like the OP and others implied ("What's wrong with LR?") . There's a reason it's used by countless professionals across all kinds of camera platforms. And BTW, it's not THAT hard to learn to use it. C1 is not easier if you want to use it to its full potential.

But I still regard some of the reactions as being akin to that put about by the acolytes of the Great God MS-DOS when the Apple Mac came along.

Ranking complex products with scalars is not a useful exercise. Different products do different things better. What product is right for you depends on what things are important to you.
