- Camera Bag (software) (1)Camera Bag and Camera Bag Pro are image effects programs designed to create a whole series of retro and contemporary photo looks using innovative tile-based cumulative edits and a catalog of one-click presets.
- Capture One (65)Capture One is an all-in-one image capture (tethered shooting), cataloguing and editing application first launched by Danish company Phase One but now operating as a standalone software publisher. Born out of its medium format studio camera products, Capture One is now a professional RAW conversion tool for DSLR and mirrorless camera owners too.

- Cataloguing software (19)Software designed to organise large collections of photos using an internal database that speeds up searches and lets you create ‘virtual’ albums and smart albums without actually having to move images on your hard disk.

Cataloguing software is more complex and powerful than image ‘browsers’ like Adobe Bridge, which simply show you the contents of folders on your computer.
- Color Efex (22)Color Efex is a software plug in that’s part of the DxO Nik collection. It offers a huge variety of preset image effects you can browse through and apply to your photos with a single click, but you can also adjust the filters manually and even stack them to create custom ‘recipes’. Color Efex also offers powerful localised adjustments via ‘control points’, 'control lines', polygon selections and more.
