Hi guys,
as I will be shortly receiving my Hassy H3dII-39 (Marc? ), I wanted to take advantage in full glory of this Camera System, and I'm a MAC user.
Hasselblad clearly says that using Phocus, will maximize the Hasselblad File quality and provide for a the best platform, from capture to post, in order to correct any defect that might be captured, and allow Phocus to interpret the files, and correct any lens issue, as well as give their files the best tools to fully take advantage of their 16 Bit Depth color range, as well as Dynamic Range and so on.
However I see that some Professionals in commercial studios use Capture One 4 Pro with their Hassy.
So my question is, to those that really know by experience, not speculations please, I'm a Pro Photographer and be using this tools for Business not just pleasure, so it is important that your most welcomed shared opinions be well informed and based on facts not rumors, or floating info, that I already have read about it extensively, and I like to know more about the two before trying them out for my self, as when you use a system just on a quick trial basis one might not take full advantage of the Program, and discard it before truly seen its potential, and at the same time I don't unfortunately have too much time on my hands this days, and would much prefer to avoid learning a system that I might not ending up using..
My interest is off course to take full advantage of this incredible system, and like to simplify my work flow in post, utilizing only one SW and after image has been processed bring it to Photoshop CS4 for retouching.
Lens corrections are important, CA, Vignetting, Moire, Tonality, DR, Color Depth, but for me is also important for the chosen SW platform to provide great Tethered work flow, for me and my clients, while using a Top of the Line MBP with SSD drive and a 30" Cinema Display, I like to have fast actions, and a smooth Tethered experience, again both for me at work, my assistant, and also important to my clients to see a good system at work with out having to wait too long.
I thank you in advance for your participation in this discussion.
