Hi Sander

 

Yes, there are many Lightroom users here. Still, some feel, and this is borne out by tests in LFI for instance, that C1 resolves fine detail better and C4 should do even better.

I an quite impressed with Bibble btw.

 

Hi Jaap!

 

I do not know about C4 or Bibble, but I find the LR combination of archiving and RAW conversion irresistible.

 

For that one picture that really needs every drop of juice wrung out, one can always go to a super dedicated Raw converter like C1 (C4)

I like the look&feel of the new version; the former was not of my taste.

The file management is nice too: each directory with a DNG gets a subdir with the proxy and the settings.

And when you rename a file.DNG, the subdir flie.p1s etc. gets changed! great.

However, to see the files in windos I need to rename it to .Tif to have the thumbnail show up in the explorer (I use the DOS command REN for that) - but then the renaming I described as such don't work - too bad. But I can, using the explorer vieaw jump around quickly.

Add from my wish list is the capability to move the picture to another folder using simple drag and drop that takes along the sub dir entries.

Handling profiles in C1-4 is a marvel, though Holmes Chrome is (now) has much too much gravy in it for me. I like to render certain pictures using some H25 profiles (such as outdoor daylight, and easy grey) for a subdued and more interesting effect.

It is also great I can control the output pixel size. (Good for posting!)

my small contribution.

"Full path for CO4b/Mac:

As downloaded, the applications folder has just the bare CO4b application, there's no Capture One folder to be found. Can I create these nested folders, or am I maybe looking in the wrong place?

Right click on the Application File and select Show Package Contents - the directory tree is 'contained' within the Application Package.

 

Now copy whatever you need (profiles may need renaming) to the folder.

Hi,

you must right click on the application (in finder) - and the, in the context menu, go to show content. The app file is a "package".

Brilliant! Thanks to David and Werner. On the Mac it's Ctrl-click, but now I understand. Never knew this before, despite using Macs since 1985. But then I still can't quite get used to the idea that my M8 doesn't use film.
