#PHOTO SUPREME VS IMATCH ISO#

But in the ISO 1600 - 3200 range (I don’t go higher) Photolab differs superior results. On my ISO 100 - 800 shots, I get the best results in Capture One period.

Also Capture One is noticeably slower working with TIFF files (file size perhaps). I exported a bunch of images and dit A/B comparisons and many times the DNG workflow loses detail/color detail. Therefore, I prefer to process base ISO, highly detailed original raw files in C1, but for high ISOs PhotoLab is the best for me.Īfter a day of testing, I am coming to that conclusion as well. C1 has a great Color Editor (hopefully the promised improvements are coming to PhotoLab3) but PhotoLab gives me access to a greater number of camera profiles that I like. I find C1 demosaicing to be better than PhotoLab’s, but it has worse noise reduction and fewer lens corrections. One correction – I’ve just tested a file with blown highlights and it looks like it’s best to process such files as flat as possible in PhotoLab (Neutral color / Realistic tonality rendering Smart Lighting Selective Tone: Highlights ), output as DNG, and then in C1 you can use No Color Correction in Base Characteristics and build your own tonality and colours, getting the best of the highlight recovery / reconstruction in C1 (which is superior to that in PhotoLab). If you like doing tonal corrections in PhotoLab and would like to do colour-grading in C1, then DNG is not for you – use 16-bit Adobe RGB tiffs. Nothing special to reply to your questions. It is a pity tu use COne on raster images. This workflow seems to bo efficient … but a little beat complex Do I lose anything in the process and what export format gives me most flexibility/power?

TLDR I want to process my RAW images into TIFF/DNG masters and use those as the input in the rest of my workflow.

Any arguments for doing all versions/edits in Photolab 2?.

Are their any negative downsides to using DxO exported TIFFs or DNGs for working in Capture One versus working with the raw files (assuming that my base corrections in DxO are done correctly)?.

Are their advantages to using DxO Filmpack styles to Capture One styles, as in do these get applied on a more foundational level when applied in PhotoLab on the RAW file versus using the exported TIFF in Capture One?.

DxO Portrait preset, would this advice change (I believe TIFF would be the better format in this case but would like to confirm)

If I would apply one of the DxO Filmpacks styles or do color edits e.g.

I like the Capture One color engine a lot so I don’t mind it processing the exported images

Would I be better served with a TIFF or DNG? e.g.

using the powerful Capture One process recipes

Export image to all kinds of formats for archival, social media use etc.

Create additional versions with different styles and film simulations applied to them.

Do further cropping and recomposition (e.g.

Import/sync the TIFF or DNG into Capture One.Once images are exported I would continue to work with them in another editor (Capture One but same applies for Lightroom): I read the workflow article but this still confuses me as to which one serves me better (also because TIFF file size are relatively large) Export the resulting image in either TIFF (16-bit) or DNG (input welcome on which works best).Do basic processing of my images in PhotoLab: smart lighting, white balance correction, straightening and light cropping/straightening, lens correction and denoising.Cull my images and move the best ones to a ‘selects’ folder in Fast Raw Viewer.

Ingest my images with Capture One Session or manual disk copy.I am looking for some input on my workflow which I am struggling a bit with and want to make sure I understand everything right.
