Hi,My question is definitely a deal breaker for me and sure for many others,

I would like to know why you don't add a text tool?

It makes me wonder if you have a deal with adobe not too.

Because it would make sense that you have not add it.

Or am i wrong?

If you did add a text tool it would be make a complete application.

 

Kind regards  

waiting for a text tool

    I have forwarded your suggestions to our Product Management team as something to consider in a future release. Hopefully, your feedback contributes towards a future version of Capture One.

    What do you want a text tool to do? Perhaps something like this?

    If I were using Adobe products, I think I would expect to have to add text and other items (the arrows, for instance) in Photoshop, not in Lightroom. This is one of the many things that Photoshop does that Lightroom and Capture One don't do (such as sky replacement) because Photoshop is a pixel editor whereas Capture One and Lightroom aren't. Although you say that a text tool would make it a complete application, there are others who say that, no, what would make it a complete application for them would be panorama stitching, or sky replacement, or HDR merging, or.... take your pick of other features. There are, of course, some overlaps. Capture One and Lightroom do a few things that one might regard as strictly the province of pixel editors (healing and cloning for example). But in general I think that too much mission creep into the territory of Photoshop (or of Affinity Photo, which is very similar) may not be a good thing.

    Hi Ian,

    Thanks for your views respect. I wrote this as for me it would be great, I sent a email to capture one about two months ago asking about a text tool with no answer. Yes HDR, merging, stitching is all part of my workflow at times So may be this is not for me. May be time for captura one to rethink mission.

    Kind regards

    Trevor, 

    Are you suggesting that Capture One's mission should be to become a very broadly based software developer like Adobe?

    Or maybe slightly less broad like Affinity?

    I suspect that Capture One see their mission as being primarily a raw editor, so, in that respect, an alternative to Lightroom, rather than an alternative to Photoshop. Lightroom users typically have to resort to Photoshop for some things. If one didn't want to use Photoshop in conjunction with Capture One, there are alternatives - Affinity Photo is a notable one. 

    Other software - ON1 for instance - try to do everything in one package. Some of it they do well, but having tried it, I am not a fan.
