Hi all,

 

i would like to use Capture One for converting my X-Raw Files but keep Lightroom as i prfer th eworkflow.

So i would like to use Capture One to convert th eRAF files to DNG.

But when i try to export my RAF files as DNG i get an Error Message.

I can export them as JPg and also convert my Canon Raw files to DNG.

 

Anyone knows this Problem?

 

thanks, Tom

Cause i want to do the RAW Conversion in CO as it does it better. But use Lightroom for the workflow.

 

Capture One doesn't support RAF to DNG conversion. You've discovered that and you are correct, you'll get an error message.

 

You do have the option to output a TIFF from C1 for further processing in LR. Basically the same thing you'd get if you used Iridient X-Transformer.

But DNG is still raw data and I think LR still makes a mess of it...

 

Yes and no. DNG is just a wrapper. In this case using C1 then yes. C1's DNG conversion option keeps the raw data intact and so LR would still have to demosaic that data and would still make a mess. It is possible however for DNG to encapsulate a TIFF file -- known as a linear DNG. In this case demosaicing has taken place and the original raw data is no longer available. You're just processing an RGB TIFF file in a DNG wrapper. This is what Iridient X-Transformer provides and is why different demosaicing results are then possible. But in this case you're really just using LR to further process a TIFF file.

I have a workflow which uses Lightroom as my DAM and Capture One 10 as the developer of my RAF (or any other RAW file in the Lightroom catalog) and after developing back to Lightroom via the Sessio's output folder 

I have created a Capture One session called "From Lightroom"

In my Lightroom Library I can choose one or more files, RAF or others and export them as originals to the Capture Folder of the Capture One Session using a key shortcut. The export settings also include opening Capture One.

After developing in Capture One I process them as Tif or jpeg to the Output Folder and in Lightroom import the new ones into the lightroom using the Session Output folder in my Lightroom Library.

Thank you all for your responses.

I will try to use CO excusively and see if i can get a comparable workflow as in lightroom.

Already made some good steps in customizing some shortcuts.

 

otherwise i will consider tiff output.

 

thanks, Tom

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
