As a long-time Aperture user, I fired up this week C1 4.8.3;
I had used C1 before I migrated to Aperture as soon as it came out - main motivation was the more complete set of workflow capabilities and the great view/compare features in Aperture, as well as a basic backup support.
I installed C1 on the weekend when I was traveling in Paris and it was the only raw converter I had used before and my Thinkpad would accept. (At home, I am running a PowerMac G5).
Observations & questions:
a) Shocked how much better color balance looks; skin tones much better for my M8 files
b) Shocked how much better sharpness/detail is.
Question: 130/0.8/1 seems a bit strong as default sharpening values for C1. What do you folks use as default?
c) C1 4.8.3 complains about my PowerMac G5 (OSX 10.5.8) is unsupported hardware, but it runs fine.
Question: Has anybody experienced problems with a G5 PowerMac and C1?
In the past, Raw Developer produced clearly more details out of my M8 files. C1 might be my new go-to raw software for special images.
