I have been a Capture One user since version 3.7 :toocool:
Despite I know extremely well Aperture 3 and all itinerations of Lightroom, I still regard this software as the very best in the market!!
I am anxiously waiting for my Hasselblad X1D to arrive but meanwhile I would like to share my thoughts about my situation
We all know that Capture One is very unlikely to support the X1D just as they don't support the Leica S or the Pentax 645Z
but I find really sad that they intentionally don't allow the software to import DNG files from those cameras!!
There is absolutely no technical reason why Capture One should not be able to read those files since they support Adobe DNG 1.4
and the little trick below shows perfectly my point
Here are two Hasselblad raw files, which I exported as DNG using Phocus (at this point Capture won't even see the DNG files)
Then with an exif editor cancelled the final letter "d" from the word "Hasselblad"
Thats it :clap:
now I can import all DNG from any Hasselblad camera (the same will apply for Pentax or Leica or Fujifilm GFX)
I love the results, see some screen shot of the two software side by side
See the "Hasselbla" ??
Obviously I wish Capture One would support natively those cameras and yes I know they won't :scry:
I have learned to respect this position, but blocking the DNG based on the word "Hasselblad" or "Pentax 645Z" is only damaging their clients !
Please let your costumer keep working with the best world photo software!!!
Thanks for listening
