In this very good overview I, as a CaptureOne user, was surprised to read that the local adjustments are not that great. I have been using C1 for many years and by using adjustment layers you have tremendous flexibility and precision to apply local adjustments. Almost all functions can be used in layers, together with the ability to apply those adjustments to large amounts of photos, this is a great tool. In the past I have also worked extensively with DXO, LR and PS, but personally I think C1 really stands out.
