Re: Capture One Express in Conjunction with Lightroom

Before it was possible to use Classic Negative on Lightroom Desktop I used the free C1 to batch apply the film sim, batch auto correct, then batch export as JPG. I tried Tiff but the file size was too big. Then import the JPGs and raf files from the camera into LR.

Now I edit fully in Lightroom despite their Classic Negative being worse, and I assume the other sims. Pressing the auto button in C1 generally was better than not e.g. recovering shadows, but that only left a JPG to edit in Lightroom.

I edit every photo's colors I use with Classic Negative so I should just make a preset as I like it a bit different to the others. But C1 Classic Neg is by far the best imo.

Maybe try my auto thing (apply auto button on import with the film sim) to see if that makes JPGs you are happy with? Or like others have said 16 bit Tiff files, if file size isn't an issue.
