Easy Brush Adjusting It’s now possible to easily change the size, hardness, opacity, and flow of any brush by usingmodifier keys and a mouse / trackpad / pen, removing the need to right-click. Capture One & Leica Unlike other raw processors, Capture One’s camera profiles are uniquely developed for each specific camera model, a process that requires the use of the camera in and out of a controlled lab in Copenhagen, where a team of specialists engage each new model in various scenarios. They then evaluate all the performance parameters such as color, sharpness, and noise across hundreds of images and uses that data to deliver a truly tailored profile, which ultimately provides the best post-processing experience. Capture One 21 brings this level of support to a growing list of Leica cameras, and for the first time brings tethering capabilities to those models. Read all about Capture One 21 at: www.captureone.com New camera and lens support Capture One provides users with the most accurate and powerful image editing available, and the wide-ranging support of cameras and lenses is a hallmark of the software. For enthusiasts and professionals alike, Capture One continually evolves to handle the newest cameras and lenses. Capture One carefully evaluates and interprets each camera’s RAW formats, allowing Capture One to present images with the utmost fidelity, often bringing out nuances that other programs can’t even perceive. Currently offering RAW support for more than 500 cameras, Capture One also provides profiling and image correction support for more than 500 lenses. As with the RAW file interpretation, Capture One carefully measures the optical characteristics of each supported lens and builds correction algorithms that compensate for the various optical imperfections of various designs. As a result, Capture One can correct for numerous common optical issues such as vignette, and chromatic aberration as needed for each of the supported lenses, providing you the best version of your image possible. And they are always adding support for the newest camera bodies and lenses. Availability Capture One 21 release date is December 8th, 2020. Pricing Capture One 21 is available as a perpetual license or subscription: Capture One Pro 21: Perpetual License: $299 Upgrades from select previous generations starting at $159 Subscription starting at $20 / month Capture One 21 for Nikon, Capture One 21 (for Sony) and Capture One 21 for Fujifilm Perpetual License: $129 Upgrades from select previous generations starting at $109 Subscription starting at $9.99/month For a complete list of all products and licensing options, visit: www.captureone.com/store For a 30-day fully featured free trial of Capture One 21, visit www.captureone.com/download Erato, helged, RagingCANE and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Photoworks 1,386 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 8, 2020 It is wonderful that Leica and Phase one come together, this is a big step for many professionals that shoot tethered. I wish they had addressed the connection issues when an SD card is in the camera. You will have to take out the card and shoot right into the computer capture folder. You can alternately format SD card every time you connect. Live view not supported! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scott kirkpatrick 7,185 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) +1 I've also loaded C1 v 21 and see the same results. with my SL2 Tethered connection (connect in PTP) allows transfer of files but LiveView not yet supported, and this works best with no chips in the camera so that the shots collect on your computer. Live view and extension to other cameras are coming, but not here yet. It will be a nice set of tools once it is all complete. I am also familiar with Leica Fotos, and the much greater degree of control over the camera that this tethered setup (except for the still missing live view) provides is what Fotos should also be doing, to provide proper support of remote and tripod operation. Anyway, this is real progress, and these things take time. Try the Pro Profiles. Their superpower is to avoid color shift when pushing a file in contrast or with other "smart" controls. I'm hoping to see one of these for the M10-R, which I am more likely to use in exotic light conditions.

wlaidlaw 23,809 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 8, 2020 Just downloading my pre-purchased copy of 21. Finally de-haze has arrived after years of Phase One saying it was not needed. I was hoping that M10-R support might be present as well but sadly not yet it seems. On my Spyder X Pro profiled MBP screen, Leica SL2 standard or Q2 generic profiles look to be the best option pro-tem. M10 (non-R) comes out a bit over-saturated to my eyes.

nicci78 1,581 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #7 Posted December 8, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Finally. I think that I will switch to C1 in 2021. But no word about a native version for Apple Silicon ?? Hurry up PhaseOne. This should your top priority. Do not wait until C1 22 to do so. rfunnell 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
albireo_double 1,092 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #8 Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Yes tethering works fine. The only issues I've had was when opening sessions previously made using CO20 that included S3 files. Of course, S3 was not supported under CO20 but the generic DNG profile worked fine as a starting point for subsequent edits, so I'd created sessions from several shoots and imported my S3 files in them, did the selects and initial edits. As with all sessions created under CO20, there is a dialog to "Upgrade" the session, when it is first being opened in CO21. Clicked that and.... previews remained blurry (mostly), strange profiles were added to some files (Leica S3 Neutral which is not even listed in the pull-down menu), strong orange or azure cast appeared on some images when I changed the profiles manually to the S3 Generic/ProStandard. Tried to regenerate previews but that did not seem to do anything. In the end, I created new sessions under different names and re-imported all photos - this forced CO21 to generate new previews and this fixed my issues (all previous edits including layers etc. were retained, as these I assume are stored within the DNG file itself). No such issues with images from any other cameras, incl. SL2 (even though, for some reason, C021 assigned the Generic DNG profile to files that previously had the SL2 profile natively assigned under CO20 - but at least the previews were not blurry and changing the profiles back was not a big deal. I did not notice such issues with any of the Beta versions but I only tested tethering there under new sessions, and did not upgrade any previously created sessions. Filed a report with CO support. Would be interested to hear if anybody else encountered the same problem. Btw, colours from the S3 are (can be made) quite spectacular with the new profiles.

FlashGordonPhotography 6,018 Posted December 8, 2020 Share #9 Posted December 8, 2020 Does this mean that Adobe is out and Phase is in as far as co-operation with Leica goes? Or will Leica continue to provide assistance to Lightroom/Camera Raw as well? Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon No idea but it is good that tethering is now working fine both under LR (since about a year ago when they finally fixed the plugin) and now also under CO21.

AZN 119 Posted December 9, 2020 Share #11 Posted December 9, 2020 I have upgraded C1 every year since 2016. Don't plan to do so this year. Has anyone had a chance to try CO21 with Leica SL (TYP601). Yes I know there has been a built-in profile for the Leica SL for years, but am curious to see if it has been updated/ improved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've used C1 with annual upgrades since 2005 or so (release 3). I did some testing for them back then and was granted a 5 upgrades license that lasted until a few years ago. Some of their first easier-to-use-than-Photoshop features came when they bought RawShooter, which I was using at the time. I hope to get my hands on an SL2-S soon, while I still have an SL[601] to compare with it and will see if there are obvious differences. And what the new profiles (which can be assigned to other cameras than the ones for which they are named) do. I was noticing problems with hair color in shots under mixed lighting recently and want to see if the supposedly more subtle ProProfiles fix that. Jono Slack has a sharp eye for color palette, and there are Sean Reid's fruit studies to look over as well, but both I suspect will use Adobe's processing tools.

oka 82 Posted December 9, 2020 Share #15 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) New profile seems to be the biggest step forward. I'm using Lumariver but with the new profiles but in future it might be unnecessary. ...Lumariver still has advantage on bright and strong colors where the new profile is better than the old ones but the difference is still quite dramatic. ProStandard profiles seems to have bit more 3d look on the images, where Lumariver and old generic profile seems to be same.

Yes it is easy to fix using the colour-fix tools, but it's a bit of a nuisance. Back when I used Lightroom you could create your own profiles _inexpensively!_ and import them.

I had a go at doing it from a photo with my M10-R of a Datacolor colour swatch card but the end result was not good. If you buy the latest X-Rite screen profiling tool, that includes a feature to create an ICC camera profile from a colour swatch card. Unfortunately I did not realise this before I had bought the latest Spyder X Pro tool, which can only create DCP profiles for Lightroom, which I don't use.

Wilson x-rite color profile are very delicate , I make them for some fashion shoots since some color need to be more accurate. But I don't use them often. But in years of experimenting I find the capture one profile a much better then many others in many case of general shooting. wlaidlaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
