There have been many articles been written comparing Lightroom (LR) and Capture One (CO) and favoring one over the other. I have been using Lightroom for years and have been using Capture One for about 1 year now. In my experience both have their merits and problems. In the following overview I like to highlight the strength (in no particular order or claim of completeness) of each application to show that both tools can complement each other.

As outlined above both tools have their merits and I keep using both of them. At some later point I will post an overview on when and how I use both them. If you need to choose between either you must weigh your personal preferences: which user interface resonates more with you, which features are more important for type of photography and workflow.
