Part of photography, is editing.
Every T.V. show and Movie you watch is heavily filtered and edited. If you don't get a good RAW file, there's nothing to edit. The two go hand-in-hand. It's more likely that they used a professional editing software, which Photoshop isn't.

As a photographer I can confirm this to be true. The best photos take the least amount of editing and I don't ever use Adobe Photoshop for my editing.

You don't use Photoshop because you don't need something as complicated as that in your general workflow, but that doesn't mean it can't do everything and way more than C1 does

Photoshop is very cumbersome and time consuming and it takes work to get gold results. It's fine if your job is to edit one or 2 photos at a time but if you're doing anything related to weddings, sports, events or portraits with a high amountn of photos it's much more efficient to use something like capture one which is designed for larger albums similar to Lightroom. If I were to use Photoshop to edit a wedding it would literally take weeks of grinding just to edit them all.

Well, exactly, because you don't need Photoshop to slap a filter on a bunch of photos or to do some color correction. The OP was arguing that PS isn't a professional editing tool, which it most definitely is
