Marc,
I think that you will be very satisfied with the workflow and results that you will get from Capture One 3.7.x . There are wealth of tools that are in Capture One that are are made specifically to allow you to get the most out of the Phase One RAW files. Some of the tools are the noise slider, sharpening controls, styles feature(which allows you to take a variety of settings from within the application into one simple set for application), LCC tool to correct for any abnormal color vingeting cause by ultra-wide angle lenses and of course the Color Editor. The Color Editor is a very strong tool that allows you to modify the pre-loaded Phase One profiles in a visual editor that uses the LAB color space. Once you create an edited profile it then can be used as a default for similar shooting scenarios or to batch modify existing shots.
For example you have a model that is holding a can of Coke and you are trying to hit the red, the rest of the shot is great, but the red is lacking a little in the can. You would open a reference image up in the color editor that has that Coke can in it, go in and visually pick shades of red from the can, make your HSL corrections via sliders, save out the profile then while you are back in Capture One, you batch apply it to all the subsequent shots that have that can in it.
I have seen landscape guys use it to correct their skies, rocks and so forth. It saves a lot of time in post by doing these corrections to the RAWS on the production side of things. I have also seen many examples of this tool being used by room set shooters to better match wood tones, or even in extreme situations using it as a lighting tool to make a certain area of a shot lighter.
From my experience the highest quality export TIFs from Phase One digital backs have come out of Capture One.
Walter Borchenko of Knowledge Integrated has documented this tool extensively in his Capture One guide that is available through Phase One Partners (us) and direct on his website. Also on his website is a wealth of information on this topic and others. Here is the url: [a href=\"http://www.k-i-inc.com/]http://www.k-i-inc.com/[/url].
Here is also a link from Phase One's site on using the color editor:
