Capture One for M10-R or M10-Monochrom?

Topaz Sharpen AI is even (far) more impressive. Well worth the upgrade. But you need a Silicon Mac tomake it fast.

I don't generally go to my RAW images for better sharpening. I'm perfectly happy with my current sharpening tool: FocalBlade. I mostly find the need for RAW conversion for one of two reasons: low-light noise and bringing out more highlights or shadows. Cleaning up low-light noise is what DxO Prime used to be so good at. But since they don't support the M10-R it isn't available. I purchased C1 and it is pretty good at low-light noise. It seems to be even better at bringing out shadows and highlights when needed. Neat Image is still also quite good at low-light noise. RAW conversion is a tool I only use when I need to. The JPG files from Leica are very good IMO. But RAW is always there when I need it, if I have a conversion tool. Now, again, I do.

I don't think it is a preset in Luminar. In Luminar 3 is a separate "Sharpen" function, in Luminar 4 it is hidden in the "Detail Enhancer". Anyhow, I prefer the Topaz Sharpen(R)  Tool.

Yes that's my finding too. The C1 default sharpness setting is 180, which is equal to M9. In Luminar I have not found it
