So the current CaptureOne customers/owners are the most important (if not the only) reason for attracting future customers. And those are the ones who used to get hooked on CaptureOne during a job. PhaseOne totally ignored the wake of mirrorless medium format cameras and their current camera line simply isn't as attractive any more and fewer people are thinking about renting or buying them (especially younger photographers). With the horrible support, the lacking interest in developing new features, the bugs that have not been fixed since version 11, the almost fraudulent behavior regarding their pricing schemes (it's illegal to offer a discount without ever having sold the product at the regular price), hiking up the prices while not adding any new features, taking a long time between updates, slow camera and lens support (it takes them months to add lenses that have been around for a long, long time), outdated catalog system, horrible NAS support and ignoring requests from users - it won't take them long to lose a lot of their current customers. Contact is on my website Well as soon as Lightroom catches up with the color rendition and fixes the sharpening/detail recovery CaptureOne will go the way of the Dodo. Not only the "I make one picture nice" photographers, that you have at the moment -). I would really want to help with ideas from a photographer that make sometimes a bigger batch of pictures but also want to make them look good. I wanted to develop an AI app with developers, but the SDK is bad, which is also reflected in the SDK forum.

You rather make Pro Standard Profiles that are nice, but nobody asked for. I'm just a little disappointed, that you have the best App for professionals in my opinion, but give away potential by not develop user-requested features or include developers. Isn't it possible to read the horizon level from Nikon cameras? To make an automatic correction. To cull only through the Top picture and not all images. Nobody wants to do the boring repetitive tasks like culling, straighten, select skin, hdr merge and a lot more, if there is AI help.Įasy HDR Helper: An automatic filter for stacking bracketing shoots would be nice.

Maybe you are the better RAW converter at the moment, but Lightroom, Luminar and others are ready to overtake with nice helpers. Or even use Metal (long overdue) or a proper Apple M1 App. At the moment it looks like this, that you sleep in the development and have not the possibilities to add AI features.

The export is slow and cumbersome.Īn SDK that is universal and not attached to windows or mac would help with AI apps. When you see that a lot of your customers want those features (since a long time!) then, either way, include it (RAW HDR), make a proper SDK and include external developers or support RAW HDR DNG from Competitors -). Sure, the final rendering would take some time but other than that.Īnd that flexibility simply does not exist with Heliconsoft or Photoshop - at least not as far as I know.

There's no reason why it shouldn't just keep the original files and simply load all the combined RAWs into one virtual file, using all available data.

In my opinion there should be no reason why a stacked image (whether as a panorama or focus stacking or HDR) should be the result of one single file or not be based on RAW files (as long as they are all treated the same way and there's a process to align them automatically/manually - which would be similar to Keystones). I personally don't like to have to render the RAW images first and then stack them (as it would be necessary for Photoshop) and then lose all the flexibility of a RAW file. That's as may be but if we consider Photoshop to be the leading player for editing images with layers - would it have made sense not to introduce it?Īs for using plugins - sure, that's fine if it works well enough and you can still edit the files afterwards.
