I thank everyone.
From what I understand there are 4 alternatives to import photos in greater quantity for Capture One:
1. Make a pre-selection using the program "Fastrawviewer";
2. Import the photos to the C1 without any option (do not know how it will be?);
3. Import the photos with the Auto option set (possibly gives a general improvement without anything specific - for those who are starting it should be better than option 2);
4. Import Raw Photos with a Style:
A. Public released Style - I do not know which would be better but I like colorful and slightly vibrant photos;
B. Personal Style - Should be the best option for those who master the software (not my case);
For the most experienced I ask: how do you usually do this photo importation to the C1?
Hi Carlos,
Don't worry. Whatever method you use, a Raw conversion can be changed at a later date without loss of the originally captured information. So when you find in practice that you tend to make the same changes to all files, then just capture those changes in a Style, and re-apply that to earlier Raw files for a fresh start, and use it as a default for future imports.
Using e.g. Auto exposure can help get you more uniform starting points, but nothing is definitive in a non-destructive Raw conversion, you can still change the settings afterward on a per-file situation starting again with the originally captured data.
That also means that any future improvements in the Raw conversion algorithms can be retroactively applied to old files, and breathe new life into those shots (as happened when Capture One went from version 6 to 7, and demosaicing improved significantly, and later versions gained improved tools like sharpening, resampling, and Color/Luminosity adjustments).
I start importing with a linear tone curve (instead of a film curve) adjustment in a Style that I apply to all new imports, and apply a few other settings that I prefer for my specific cameras, like no noise reduction except for the lowest amount of color noise (because I usually shoot at the lowest ISOs for maximum Dynamic Range with proper exposure).
Cheers,
