Thanks Jack - I got me one, right opposite!Nice Tim! All you need is a palace at the tip of the rainbow!

tim, you bought phamiya??? ewww! at least redeem yourself by getting a mamiya-hasselblad, or mamiya-c645 adaptor :ROTFL:Nice dramatic weather and light... St Ives, Cornwall.

Hiya,Tim-
Unless I missed it in the C1 vs. LR thread, I'm curious why you converted in C1 and then did pp in LR. I'm assuming you worked on a regularly processed TIF in LR (not the raw), but why? C1 will do 99% of what LR can do first, and then bring it into Photoshop to really finish it off. I wouldn't consider LR to be the ideal finishing PP workflow; it's a primary batch processor, just like C1. I would think that even after doing more tweaks in the C1>LR, that you'd need to pull it into PS to fine tune noise reduction, sharpening, and specialized local color adjustments.

Hiya,
All my files end up in LR anyways, since it is my central filing system and at the heart of my backup system too. So I 'convert' P45+ files in C1, process them to 16bit TIFF and then import them into LR where I can make further adjustments in a non=destructive way that also keeps file size down. Specifically that photo of the sea with rainbow has a ND grad filter applied to the sky, and local area adjustments of saturation and contrast applied selectively elsewhere in a way that could have been done in Photoshop but would have taken longer, been less immediately easy to undo or adjust and created a larger file size!
There are many people - and I am clearly one of them - that believe that LR can be a one stop shop for most images. Try Michael Reichman's video tutorials. They're excellent.
I'm with you Tim, - I love LR2 for everything EXCEPT raw conversion, where C1 does a vastly better job with Phase files. "Punch", grad filter, local adjustments, all shine in LR and can't be done in C1.
So I too produce the best 16 bit TIFF that I can in C1 then open it in LR for the local adjustments and, often, printing.
What we need is either LR with C1 raw conversion or C1 with LR2 local adjustments...
