I also found it seemed to have more contrast and saturation than in Lightroom, but it was subtle and not extreme. No real big problem, easy enough to correct in post. I found that the final HDR image was overexposed by about two stops. Once merged it will have an HDR.dng image at the end of the film strip, which you can then edit just like any other image.Ĭreating a merged HDR image in Capture One 22 The final HDR results But it’s all dependent on the size of the original files and how many there are. Let it do its thing - it took a couple of minutes. To create an HDR merged image, select the images required for the HDR and then right-click and select Merge to HDR. I clicked Import and selected the images I wanted, and then chose where to store the Capture folder, followed by entering in metadata details. I’m not 100% sure what I changed, but now I can select exactly what I want.

Initially, it was a bit confusing, as I could bring up the RAW files, but only select a folder, not individual images. When it came to importing images, I chose a session. Perhaps I need to create my own completely custom workspace to simplify things a bit? I still keep grabbing the wrong tab to edit, although the icons seem to make sense. I moved the workspace around until I was happy with the setup, which is a pretty cool tool by the way. It took a bit of guesswork and watching a few tutorials to figure things out, from finding out where everything was located, to importing and using the tools. Perhaps I am just stuck in my ways and used to where everything is. I had heard it’s a bit of a steep learning curve coming from Lightroom, and they were right. Once setup, I visited the Capture One website for a few tutorials on how things worked. I was also looking forward to tethering with my Sony again, but I will get to that later. There were a few things I was really interested in checking out, the HDR merging and Panorama stitching just to start with. I was comfortable and found it did pretty much everything I needed and what I couldn’t do in Lightroom I could do in Photoshop. There are a few things I’m not thrilled about in Lightroom, though, so I was keen to see how the brand-new Capture One 22 performed. While I have played with other software, but eventually, I always ended up back in Lightroom. I have been using Lightroom Classic in one form or another since I got into digital photography back in 2014.
