If you followed the other thread about using C1 and LR in your workflow, you could see some sparks begin to fly around the "best workflow". Without understanding fully the individuals requirements for archives, prints ,web and even subject matter....this is like recommending the "best" DSLR . Add to this the experience,skill and commitment of the individual and it becomes futile.
Unfortunately ..even agreeing on some "facts" ..becomes difficult. I tried the same questions on two LR forums and LL ....really all around could you create an effective workflow ....by using LR as the "mothership" and only reprocessing the selected raw files in C1. The logic is sound 90% of my files work out fine through LR but for about 10% ....if I could get a little better image quality ...I would want to try. But in each case ..I was told ...sort of "its a poor workman that blames his tools". Or if I was semi competent I could get the same thing out of LR. The point being contended really boils down to are the raw conversion for say a M8 .DNG a higher image quality or are they just maybe a little closer to start with.
So if I took an "expert" skilled in raw conversions and all they wanted was the "best" conversion of M8 .DNG files..would the C1 files be better. Whats the consensus of those that feel they know? Is there any published expert testimony?
