So Capture One cannot be used like Photoshop, to stack and composite images. The MacOS version resembles the Windows Pro version.Д¬ost: $299, and $120 for major upgrades, or by subscription for $180/yearДЄs of version 11 this powerful raw developer and cataloguing program offers вЂњLayers.вЂќ But these are only for applying local adjustments to masked areas of an image.

Only the Pro version offers the full suite of raw development features, in addition to cataloging functions.

Windows users have a choice of either a Standard or Professional version. Lightroom Contenders: Five Raw DevelopersДЄCDSee Photo Studio (current as of late 2017)Д¬ost: $60 to $100, depending on version, upgrades $40 to $60. My question is, how well do they work? Are any serious contenders to replace Photoshop or Lightroom? Thus the popularity of these alternative programs.

Though $120 for a year is not far off the cost of purchasing many of these other programs and perhaps upgrading them annually, many photographers prefer to purchase their software and not subscribe to it.

Photoshop and Lightroom complement each other and are now available together, but only by monthly subscription through AdobeвЂ™s Creative Cloud service, at $10/month. Camera Raw and Lightroom have identical processing functions and can produce identical results. Camera Raw is equivalent to the Develop module in Lightroom, AdobeвЂ™s cataloguing and raw processing software.

Most have free trial copies available.ДЄdobe Camera Raw (ACR), Photoshop, Bridge, and Lightroom, the standards to measure others byД¬ost: $10 a month by subscription, includes ACR, Photoshop, Bridge, and LightroomДЄdobe Camera Raw (ACR) is the raw development plug-in that comes with Photoshop and Adobe Bridge, AdobeвЂ™s image browsing application that accompanies Photoshop. Here are the image processing programs I looked at.

Export that folder of raw images to вЂњintermediate JPGsвЂќ for assembly into a movie.Д®ven so, not all these contenders are up to the task.

Copy its settings to the hundreds of other raw files in the time-lapse set, then вЂ¦.

But as with Lightroom, layering of images вЂ“В to stack, composite, and mask them вЂ“ is beyond their ability.ДЇor processing time-lapse sequences, however, we donвЂ™t need, nor can we use, the ability to layer and mask several images into one composite. The others are better described as Adobe Lightroom competitors вЂ“В programs that can catalog image libraries and develop raw image files, with some offering adjustment layers for correcting color, contrast, etc.

However, a number of contenders offer excellent features and might replace at least one member of AdobeвЂ™s image processing suite.ДЇor example, only four of these programs can truly serve as a layer-based editing program replacing Photoshop. If you are hoping thereвЂ™s a clear winner in the battle against Adobe, one program I can say does it all and for less cost and commitment, I didnвЂ™t find one. This review expands upon and updates mini-reviews I included in my Nightscapes and Time-Lapses eBook, shown at right. Even so, I think you will find thereвЂ™s plenty to pick from! So sorry, fans of Paintshop Pro (though see my note at the end), Photoline, Picture Window Pro, or Xara Photo & Graphic Designer. IвЂ™ve indicated these.Д«ut I did not test any Windows-only programs. I did not test these programs for other more вЂњnormalвЂќ types of images.ДЄlso, please keep in mind, I am a Mac user and tested only programs available for MacOS, though many are also available for Windows. I tested more than ten contenders as alternatives to AdobeвЂ™s image processing software, evaluating them ONLY for the specialized task of editing demanding nightscape images taken under the Milky Way, both for single still images and for time-lapses of the moving sky. That is the question many photographers are asking with the spate of new image processing programs vying to вЂњkill Photoshop.вЂќ
