Preset Converter Review: Convert Lightroom Presets into Capture One Styles

Introduction

Presets are a valuable tool for photographers looking to streamline their editing process and achieve consistent results. Many photographers create and share their Lightroom presets, offering a shortcut to achieving a desired look. However, for users of Capture One, the options for presets, known as styles, are more limited. This is where Preset Converter comes in, allowing users to easily convert Lightroom presets into Capture One styles or stylepacks.

Accuracy

It’s important to note that Adobe Lightroom and Capture One have different RAW-conversion processes, which can result in some technical challenges when converting presets. While most presets can be converted successfully, there may be some discrepancies due to differences in features between the two programs. However, in our experience, over 80% of converted presets produce similar results in images. Any visual differences can usually be adjusted quickly in Capture One, making the conversion process smooth and efficient.
