Capture One vs Mextures

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.

Mextures offers photo-editing textures, overlays, film presets, and apps for creating film-like effects. Its iOS editor supports unlimited layers that can be moved, hidden, rotated, and adjusted for opacity. The product page lists more than 200 stackable textures, including grain, dust, light leaks, and color gradients, along with 30 film presets and more than 300 Formulas. Formula Manager lets users import Formulas from others and export their own to share. Console is a free Photoshop plugin in beta; it works with Photoshop CC 2016–2023 on Windows 10 or newer and macOS 11 or newer. The maker warns that the current Console version crashes with the latest Photoshop and macOS Sonoma. Film Presets are compatible with Console, Lightroom CC 2021/2022, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere, with separate software-specific versions required for separate purchases. They are not conversion LUTs, so RAW or LOG footage needs to be normalized first. Listed options include the iOS app at 1.99 USD once and the X-Film Overlay Pack at $10 a month.
