Hasselblad RAW editing in Capture One

yes yes yes

im not saying wich is better software, I dont worry about it. If the post is about processing Hasselblad files in C1, I only mean that is not a good idea for the reasons I have already expose. It is just a non-sense idea :banghead:

why does the people love to mix systems? I dont understand.

I highly recommend Ettore's beautiful Hassy diary in its entirety, but for the impatient, here is a screen shot:

I have not yet tried this technique, let alone compared its outcome to Phocus [about which I have already expressed my views], but I plan to do just that.
I tried it with a RAW file from my CFV-50c and it worked.

Changing the Make with Exif Editor has been a little bit tricky. Here are my steps:
  • Changed the "Make" value from "Hasselblad" to "CANON". It worked but I got a warning. I needed this step in order to "break" the metadata structure. Changing directly to "FUJIFILM" doesn't work.
  • Changed the Make from "CANON" to "FUJIFILM" (I have a C1-Pro for Fujifilm, so I can edit only Fujifilm files).
  • Import the image into C1.

Here my very first impressions:

  • As expected, colors are different, I tried with the IQ250 and with the GFX-50s profiles (same sensor as my CFV-50c) but colors become even worse.
  • I ended up using the "DNG File Neutral" profile with the "Film Extra Shadow" curve, plus +15 in contrast. By doing this I'm close to the "Standard" Phocus profile.
  • The de-noising and sharpening algorithms of C1 definitely do a better job than the Phocus ones: smoother out-of-focus areas and less artefacts on in-focus areas. Overall the image looks cleaner.

Didn't do a comparison with LR.

Honestly I think I will stick with Phocus in any way, but the experiment was interesting and fun. :)
