Moving back to Lightroom from Capture One

Numinoos

There are countless guides and tips on how to move Capture One from LR.
However, I cannot find any guide on how to move back to LR from Capture One.
I have been using C1 since v7, essentially owing to its great RAW processing engine, its linear icc curve, level and curve tools and recipe functions. I work with long lenses, mostly in nature photography.
Over the years, I have found the software to be improving in masking features, at the expense of catalog and metadata processing (awful keyword and library management) which is getting worse and worse in relation to the improvements of other RAW competitors.
Came version 21, and things have been getting worse. Much slower image processing and very poor support. No improvements whatsoever in catalog management. The new upcoming version only brings HDR and panorama stitching which is useless for my style of photography.
I really feel C1 is now only catering to commercial, fashion and product photography which is not my cup of tea.
I am considering switching back to LR which I used a bit when Nikon Capture NX2 went dead.
What is the best way to switch back to LR? Can I import the C1 catalog into LR?
I already have the LR and PS CC version, so cost is not an issue.
Any advice on moving back to LR?

Lightroom and Capture One are both popular photo editing software in my journey. They offer different features and benefits. Some of the main differences are:

Lightroom has better cataloging and organizing elements than Capture One.

Capture One has more advanced and sophisticated RAW image processing than Lightroom.

Capture One has a more customizable interface and keyboard shortcuts than Lightroom.

Lightroom is more affordable and includes Photoshop in the Creative Cloud subscription.

The best way to switch back to LR is to export your images from Capture One as DNG (Digital Negative) files and then import them into Lightroom. This will preserve your image edits and allow you to move all of your images into Lightroom seamlessly. Once your images are imported into Lightroom, you can then use the library and organizational tools to organize and manage your catalog. You can also use Lightroom's editing tools to further enhance your images.
If you have existing keywords, captions, and other metadata in your Capture One catalog, you can also export that data as an XML file and then import it into Lightroom. This will allow you to maintain the information already associated with your images.
Finally, if you have any presets or other settings stored in Capture One, you can export those as files and then import them into Lightroom. This will allow you to quickly apply the same settings to your images in Lightroom as you had in Capture One.
Overall, switching from Capture One to Lightroom is relatively straightforward and should not take too long to complete.
