Hi,
No way, hell will freeze to ice before I abandon anything for C1.
But, Synn indicated that he got a large difference between Nikon D800 and his Aptus with his shooting. He seems to find that his Nikon D800 works better with the profiles that C1 produced for the IQ-250. T
I have tested C1 for something like a year and decided not to use it. In my experience it is inferior to LR in some areas that are important to me.
- Bad support for DNG
- I don't like highlight compression
- I don't like shadow expansion
- I am not happy with user interface
- I don't like noise reduction (smears out details)
- No support for DCP profiles
- Is purported to use ICC profiles but doesn't offer tools to create them
- The Image Quality Professor is a poor substitute for Erik Chan and Jeff Schewe who offer good advice on these forums
I found a couple of positives:
+ It produces less colour moiré than LR/ACR
+ It reduces fringing a bit better than LR/ACR
But I decided to stay with LR and use RawTherapee as alternate processor. RawTherapee is OpenSource which is a good thing and many good people are involved in the project.
Best regards
Erik
LOL… Erik will abandon LR for his A99… I can see him using C1P1 for the Sony and LR for the P45+ any time now!
