If you were willing to at least pay for the software, I’m sure you find a way to convert metadata on the files from whatever camera you’ve got, to IIQ and fool the software into thinking it’s looking at shots from a Phase One back - though again no guarantees. Or, if you’re in Paris, you can have someone like these guys just do it for you, though again, pricy. No support for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji etc scans in C1CHĬurrently, that’s the only way if you want to do it yourself - big pockets.
CAPTURE ONE PRO 8 VS LIGHTROOM 6 PLUS
Plus on top of that, you’d have to use their digital backs (Phase One) to take the pictures. As of writing, the software alone costs £1,778.58 (Teamwork Photo London) - it’s that high as it’s aimed at Museums and Cultural Institutions rather than us folk just trying to get good negative scans.Just like their lack of support for digital backs from other medium format providers (Hasselblad etc) to stop the competition from using their software - they probably won’t support NLP, as in a way, it competes with their own specialist software, Capture One Cultural Heritage.Ĭapture One CH does film inversions natively, keeps everything RAW until you export, and lets you use all the sliders intuitively (basically the holy grail for Capture One users) but of course, it comes at such a steep cost that the vast majority of us can’t afford it: If you need to edit stuff in Capture One, you’ll have to get as close as you can with the NLP inversions in LR, export TIFFS, import into Capture One/Photoshop and do the rest there… Yes, LR sucks for most of us reading this post, but Negative Lab Pro is pretty great compared to your other options, so it is what it is unfortunately, at least for now.įor anyone interested in the why, or your other options:Īs Karyudo mentioned above, Capture One’s SDK doesn’t support enough features for NLP to be ported. Nate has made something pretty fucking cool - even if you have to use Lightroom to access it. TL:DR, For now, you have to suck it up and use NLP and Lightroom. For anyone like me who’d love to have their film scans natively in Capture One instead of Lightroom and has stumbled across this page/post, hoping, praying, that there’s a workaround, here’s what I’ve found so far, and here are your current options as of writing:
