I started using Adobe Lightroom in 2008 (at least my catalogue says so). I don't think there was a competing software with an image cataloguing workflow combined with powerful editing tools for many years later.

Adobe Lightroom was (and still is) an excellent post-processing tool, but it continues to be known as a resource hog. Exporting a batch of 10 raw files to jpeg full resolution still tends to spike the CPU usage indixcator even on my new M1 Mac Mini. I believe it was around the release of Capture One 8 when many photographers and image editors began to seriously consider it as an alternative to Lightroom. I've read countless reviews about how it gives them better results, especially when editing RAW files. There's also the customization of the work panel, which is more flexible than Adobe Lightroom. While Lightroom still holds a sizeable market share, there's no doubt that more photographers these days are starting to use Capture One as their first choice for editing. This review doesn't touch on Capture One's retouching capabilities in any way. It is limited to comparing Avalanche's Lightroom catalogue conversion algorithm to the native one used by Capture One. thephoblographer.com
