How is c1 4PRO IQ?

[Leonardo Barreto]

I have The Walter Borchenko Book, I even met him personally when I was in New York, but I moved and don't know where I put the book.

It is also made for C1 3x

What I want is a simple PDF that reminds me how to use it... it is not very intuitive --the fact of it is that I studied the ultimate book and can't make it work in C1 4.5

The other thin is that I have asked photographers that know C1 up and down and don't use the COLOR EDITOR at all...

What I did was to put a technical support ticket with Phase.

Regarding how to use the Color Editor: There are some nice tutorial videos at www.phaseone.com/4 . They are free.

If you click Go for PRO -> Video Tutorials -> Color Tool, there's a nice piece on how to use the Color Editor. I know it isn't quite what you looked for, but it may get you started.

Yes, those are for 4.5.

I watched all the tutorials. --I could recognize Walter Borchenko's voice--, this is exactly what I wanted THANKS. I get the idea of the COLOR EDITOR it is a good thing to know and I will probably use it soon.

This is a vast program, and it is good to have someone like Walter to give you the grand tour...

Yes, those are for 4.5.

I processed the same image with 3.7.9 and 4.5PRO and compared the two images and saw no difference in Image Quality. Also even the most unhappy of posters I have read talking about 4 mention that IQ is good.

But at least one experienced busy photographer has found that "C1pro 3.7.4 was far better... in terms of micro contrats, cripsness, details, noise, shadows, quality/richness of colors…"

What is your experience so far?

Hi all
I am the so called "experienced busy photographer", thank you for such good qualification Leonardo! But you missed the fact (or maybe I didn't mention) that the comparison I made was with 1DsM3 files, hence images made with/thru a debayering filter as opposed to MF files…
As I am stubborn, I still continue to work and try to learn CO 4.5 as I see no reason for it to give less IQ than 3.7… needs to find the right settings…
