Resolution the Lightroom vs Capture One "Worms" Issue
2

Having read comparison reviews (a very comprehensive review on Fujirumors.com) which state that it is just a settings issue, decided to do my own tests. I got identical results by adjusting the default Lightroom settings for the X-T3 to:

  • viewing at 200% or 300%
  • default Capture One settings
  • Sharpening at 20 vs the default of 40
  • Noise Reduction - Luminance to 100 vs 0
  • Noise Reduction - Detail to 100
  • now identical detail and noise between the 2 products 

Of course much less extreme adjustments yield superior results from Lightroom.

Conclusion: the default Capture One settings are cleaner but have much less detail.
