But how does Capture One Pro perform in action, you may well ask.


IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSIVE THINGS

- the focus tab, where you can near-instantly see a 100% selection of where your cursor is pointing. Invaluable for a quick check for sharpness, especially for the eyes of your subjects in portraits.

This is also the area where you can preview your sharpening settings and how it would affect the overall image, but also offering you the opportunity to view in detail how your settings affect the image.

- highlight check can be easily toggled on and off.
This is invaluable in determining if your exposure is off. In the example photos, the red areas where detail show where detail would be lost. (And yes, I do realise that in this image, the overbright sky shouldn't determine my overall exposure. I simply chose this image as illustration as to how it looks.) The threshold values at which the warning shows, can be changed to suit your needs.
