Capture 1 for S2 files


Recommended Posts

While Leica provides a profile for C1, the S2 is not fully supported. The files will open, but lens corrections do not work and C1 does not roll off the clipped highlights correctly (the just stop rather than graduating). I'm not a fan of Adobe's rendering (in general) and much prefer C1, but for the S2, Lightroom was the only practical choice IMO.

It is true that C1 has numerous drawbacks with S2 files, because the company refuses to support S cameras and S lenses (competition with Phase One lenses ?).

 

But as far as quality of picture processing is concerned, C1 is second to none. The sharpness is excellent, and the details are wonderfully rendered. Their perspective correction system is excellent, better than LR4/5's (in my opinion). It seems that it has been "copied" in DxO.

 

For myself, I use C1 to process my files, and then I correct colors I do not like in Photoshop. Maybe not the best workflow, but it is OK for me.

 

Anyhow, for dritz, I would recommend downloading and test the trial version. Of course, the interface is not the same as LR, but the learning curve is quite light.

 

Cheers

Gérard
