Yep, studios I’ve worked in all had the tethered setup to feed imagines into Capture One or one one occasion LR just to apply a quick preset.

This pretty much sums it up!

I remember editing softwares like LR and PS and others being well over $1000 before the subscriptions came out. I’m personally more than happy to pay the monthly fee for the full use of the Adobe suite and they constantly push out updates that you used to have to wait 3-4 years to get.

I might get downvoted for this but I think a lot of people forget how expensive editing software was before subscription based services.
