Hi Guy. How do you add 3 points of Black with C1 ?Also watch contrast as I have been known to drop it 4-5 points and than add 3 points of black.
That's been my sauce don't sell it. ROTFLMAO
The two things that I am seeing are that things don't import from 6 very well. Better to dump the session file and start fresh. The other thing that I am seeing is that catalogs are a bloated, unstable nightmare. Lightroom is still a much better tool for that. Session file for a folder with 1400 images is about 15 MB. Catalog with the same images was 40 GB. This is in addition to the capture folder. I'm sure it is user error or just a misunderstanding of how C1-7 works.Yea I read a couple post where folks say its been slow and off from version 6. There just maybe some corruption on the upgrade route. I went clean and just reset all my tools and redid any styles I had since they changed anyway with the new version. So I saw no need to hold on too any version 6 stuff.
Plus for me I had beta versions as well . I just cleaned everything off
Unfortunately I don't have the procedure outlined anywhere linkable.First off, C1 is a very versatile processor. Second, know it is developed by PhaseOne and they of course tune the heck out of it for THEIR backs and offer several base profiles for their backs. That said, they also tune it beautifully for most other cameras, but it's tough for a relatively small company to keep up with all new DLSR's as they are released, so often it takes a few months before a new camera gets optimized.
That said, let me get back to my comment about C1 being versatile: It's takes a bit of time but is pretty straightforward to build your own dedicated capture profile by using the Advanced Color Editor. Once tuned, you simply "save as profile," and it will be available in your camera profile dropdown for future use.
I think Doug has the procedure outlined somewhere, so I'll let him elaborate/link/post on the specifics. The basics are you shoot a color checker under the type(s) of lighting you normally shoot under, then use CE to tune each patch to it's true value. (Start with the primaries, then move to the secondaries -- you need a few back and forth's to get them all zeroed. Usually these are enough for product, though I typically include the gray gradients as well to eliminate subtle casts. For people, you will want to tune the skintone patches as well.) You then save this as a profile with appropriate name, like "D800E Tungsten" for example.
When importing to the Catalog you can leave the images in their original location, in which case the size of the Catalog remains small (only preview sized cache, and adjustment files). You can also elect to have the images themselves sit inside the Catalog itself, in which case the size of the Catalog will be much bigger since it contains the full raw file, the preview cache, and the adjustments.The two things that I am seeing are that things don't import from 6 very well.

I think I was using clarity punch. In the drop down settings of clarity it was showing punch.Try Clarity Punch as well it does both mid level contrast and kicks in Saturation as well. Interesting combo.
Yes, there are occasional crashes during preview generation on a mac.I think I was using clarity punch. In the drop down settings of clarity it was showing punch.
I have to head out for a while and will play with it some more tonight.
Has anybody had Capture one crash during an import from a SD card? It crashed on me probably after the second time I tired an import. I was not importing all, but had select only the newer images and then when I chose import, it crashed.
