I am in the process of evaluating C1 as a potential alternative to aperture for cataloging my images and have a couple of questions..
1) In aperture there is a "show focus points" tool that shows what the point of focus was in the image. Is there an equivalent tool in C1?
2) NEF files imported into C1 generally look pretty good with whatever default processing is done to them, better than what I see being done to them in LR at least with the exception of the white balance, alll the NEF files in C1 seem to be coming out too red/orange in comparison to LR or Aperture.
White balance for all there programs is set to "as shot" however the processed NEF files all show very different temps when the same raw file is opened.
For the photo I am looking at now, the WB settings are as follows:
Aperture: 6035
C1:6235
LR: 5750
If each program is working with the metadata in the image file, shouldn't the WB values be the same across all three programs?
3) Also in Aperture, there is an option to create a duplicate image automatically once you start editing the images. The changes are done to the copy but not the original. Is there such a setting in C1?
4) compared to the other two programs, C1 seems to run pretty slow. Im using a late 2013 macbook pro (2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3), so it should be powerful enough to run this software. Does anyone else have issues with this program being sluggish?
5) Finally, does anyone know if the ability to incorporate NIK plugins into C1 will happen at any point in the future?
