Yes, you can convert to TIFF in Capture One.
ACR is Adobe Camera Raw. It's a sub-program (for lack of a better term) within Photoshop that does the RAW file conversion, and offers many options (settings, sliders, etc) for control of the various image parameters. If you think of a RAW file as a digital negative, the RAW processor is what does the developing. Capture One is a RAW processor, ACR is a RAW processor, Lightroom contains a RAW processor, Aperture contains a RAW processor, etc and so on. As I'm sure you've ascertained, the "problem" at this point in time is that not all of these programs support the RWL RAW format that Leica has created for the D-Lux 4. As Howard has pointed out, this is hardly unique to the D-Lux 4, as most cameras are not supported in the various photo applications for weeks/months after their release. Capture One supported the D-Lux 4 from day one, ACR now does, and we're still waiting on LR and Aperture.
