I normally use Capture One for processing photo shoots, but thought I would give Photomator a go, and I apart from a few things, I was pleasantly surprised.
I have been using Pixelmator pro to do external editing for quite a while (fixing blemishes, etc.) and Capture One for raw processing, colour grading and basic edits.
Where Photomator fell short:
1. Culling - When importing photos in Capture One, preview Jpegs are made so that you can quickly move from one photo to the next and back again without lag. In Photomator I was sometimes waiting for a few seconds per photo.
2. Culling (again) - I see it's on the road map, so I'm waiting with bated breath for ratings, because this is an important part of my culling process. I felt uneasy just throwing photos in the trash.
3. Tethering - I would love to see a tethering solution with a Photomator interface and decent camera/lens control.
4. Focus Masking - This is another part of my culling process, but is also handy for focus stacking. Capture one has a beautiful focus mask which helps me decide quickly if a portrait is well focussed on the eyes, or to watch the progress of the in focus area along a macro focus stack.
Where Photomator was great:
1. Editing - just so easy.
2. LUT's - something I really miss in Capture One.
I love using Photomator, and would dearly love to see those things implemented, so I can move my whole workflow to your products.
