Hello!!!We Need David Grover to clarify all this up.
Its a RAW convertor - edits are non-destructive.Yeah I tried C1Pro7 this summer and I like the results but the lack of lens support for Sony, the unclear nature of whether edits are nondestructive, plus all the niggling bugs kinda left me a little sour about the user experience as a whole. I used C1Express4 in the past with my Leica's prior to getting LR2 then later switching to Aperture 3. I definitely wouldn't mind having C1ProSony on a Surface Pro 3 for a tethered field or studio solution once it works as well as any other tethered camera.
I still prefer LR or Aperture catalogs overall and the user experience myself as they just work without all the issues but I will say I can see an immediate improvement initially in C1... I can get the files to nearly indistinguishable in LR though I feel.
Yes, information on Capture One Express (for Sony) will be shipped with supported Sony cameras.Like you, I wouldn't be surprised if a version of C1 (Express?) started showing up in Sony camera shipments. But Phase would not have needed to release a Pro version for Sony cameras in order to do a bundle deal. I downloaded the C1P8 demo yesterday afternoon and a few hours later, bought the Sony Pro version for $30. Did I mention that it was $30? This is certainly an aggressive approach to get Sony users into the C1 camp. It's interesting.
Yes, Phase really needs to put the hammer down on lens profile development. LR is WAY ahead on that front, and agree that Adobe is pretty good about staying on top of updating things for new cameras/glass. Speaking of LR, I've been a user from day one but I started getting up to speed on C1 Pro about a month or so ago, and for me, C1P's RAW conversion is really making the a7r files sing. I'm currently using a workflow that utilizes the best of both of these excellent tools to get the images I'm after. Thus far, C1 has been stable for me.
Hi David - so the basic lens correction is taking place automatically? Under the lens correction tool tab, does the setting want to be 'Generic' or 'Manufacturer Profile'? I'm guessing 'Manufacturer Profile', but would like to confirm that. And just to be clear here, you're saying that all current Sony FE lenses are now corrected in C1P8?With regards to lens corrections we read the EXIF data supplied by Sony in the RAW file for the attached lens and correct from there. (distortion / light fall off)
You can additionally analyse for chromatic aberration which will improve it further and adjust purple fringing from 0-100%, and also place that on a local adjustment if you wish.
Thanks David.Hi Guy,
Yes you are correct. C18 Pro will do everything C18 Pro for Sony does.
C18 Pro simply supports more cameras.

The setting would want to be Manufacturer Profile. Generic is just a really basic model for barrel distortion, so then you would have to tune it for your lens.Hi David - so the basic lens correction is taking place automatically?

Thanks for jumping in and responding to all of our questions? It's nice to get info. from the source.
