I found the quality of Photo's raw processing quite good, and easy to adjust and rebalance colour casts. One can see a slightly yellowish cast on Photo's raw processing as compared to Capture One, but all is fixable in processing. I am sure Raw Power provides even better global adjustments/processing capabilities than Photo’s and no doubt that Photos remains a very user friendly DAM.

It is just that Photos / Raw Power is not the right tool for portraiture when local adjustments make the whole difference. For that Capture One Pro 21 is personally my go-to.

Below the version of these 2 portraits post processing with Capture One.

Missing local adjustments is the only reasons I sometimes use CO instead of RP. Apart from that, I actually enjoy RP more than CO. The interface is very simple and it integrates well with MacOs and the Finder. All very straightforward.
