Capture One vs FilmBox by Photomyne

Capture One is professional photo editing software for desktop, iPad and iPhone. It supports RAW files from more than 550 cameras and provides RAW conversion, tethering, layers, masking, batch editing and other editing controls. Tools include face retouching, cropping, keystone correction, dust removal and background replacement. Plans cover individual desktop work, mobile editing, collaboration and high-volume production. Collaboration can operate online, offline, over a local network or in real time; Live Share supports sessions, collections, feedback and notifications. Studio adds collaboration, automation, asset management, multiple viewer screens, automated cropping and automatic backup. All in One combines desktop and mobile apps with online collaboration, cloud shared settings and priority support. A one-time Pro License is available for desktop software, and subscribers for five years receive it at no extra cost. A seven-day trial requires no commitment, and subscriptions can be canceled anytime without fees. Capture One was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Copenhagen.

FilmBox by Photomyne turns film negatives into digital photos with a smartphone. The app guides users to hold a strip vertically in front of a backlight and capture it; its scanning algorithm reverses the negative colors and enhances the image. A computer screen can supply the light, or users can open Photomyne’s web backlight source. FilmBox supports iOS and Android, and Photomyne says photos can also be accessed on a computer. A free option covers limited scanning, with the App Store listing describing the first few photos as free. Paid memberships add unlimited scanning, saving and sharing in print quality, backup, enhancements, and access on other devices and online. Membership is billed yearly; the One-Shot plan is a single upfront payment valid for two years. Photomyne says most information is saved to the cloud for backup, using AWS systems in the United States and Ireland. Support is listed at [email protected].
