Capture One Export to PS CC issues


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Hi!

I just changed to Capture One Pro. I worked on some films scans today and noted two things when opening the exported tiffs in Photoshop CC:
1) The image looks different when exported as tiff or psd. For example: Grad filters are amplified when opening as tiff, but OK as psd. Opening the tiff in GIMP works fine, that looks exactly like C1.
2) Photoshop opens the tiffs (and jpegs) exported from C1 with Camera Raw, and reads it as 8 bit (but export was in 16 bit).
3) psd exports are the size specified upon export. Tiffs opened in PS are smaller.
I personally can do without PS/LR for a film workflow, but people that use my tiffs for print/publication are using it, and I am starting to wonder what they see when they open the files I send them a tiff or jpeg.

Ideas what is going on here?

There are two was to get to Photoshop directly from C1.  "Edit With" and "Open With".  "Open With" assumes you want to open the original (unedited) image in Photoshop and takes you to the ACR front end of Photoshop..  "Edit With" assumes you want to do further editing in Photoshop of the edited (in C1) image.  "Edit With" creates a Tiff/PSD/jpg copy and opens the copy in Photoshop.  A third option is to Export to a folder and then open the exported image from Photoshop.

 

Personally I use the "Edit With" approach.

Hi Luke!

Thank you. I tried both, same result - when I go to "edit with" it also wants to open the file with Camera Raw and the same alteration of the image is there. When I do the same with Silver Efex Pro (from C1) there is no problem, looks the same as in C1.
So far the only way to get the C1 Pro output into PS is via psd format.

Its a Hasselblad X1 scan, converted to RBG via export from C1 (gray-scale is not supported) and back into C1. Then processed and exported - and that is where the problems started.

There must be something about the X1 scan file being sent by C1 that is causing the problem.  I just did a test with VUESCAN scans from my film scanner (Minolta Scan Multi Pro) and everything worked normally.  (No ACR involved). I think the fact that Photoshop keeps wanting to launch Camera Raw rather than open the files directly indicates an issue with the file format.  Not to say it is a defective file - just one that Photoshop is not expecting.

Hi Luke!
I go a hint over at the Phase One forum. Disable tiff/jpeg support in Camera RAW. It did the trick. PS now behaves the way it should for me. Before it seemed to double the editing mask applied in C1 (so a grad filter would be twice as strong).
You may be right about the X1 files - I opened Coolscan 8000ED scans and did not notice that problem, but they had less editing done on them.
 

Thank your for your help!
Peter
