Capture One/Silver Efex round trip problem

I do the majority of my edits on my X-T1 and X-E1 RAF files in Capture One 10.1, but have always liked the ease and results I got with Nik Collection Silver Efex Pro back when I used LR, so for now I'm sticking with SEFx for B&W while I continue learning the still new to me Capture One.


 


No problems going from COne > Silver Efex using 'Edit With,' to do my edits in SEFx, but when I Save the B&W .tiff isn't sent back to COne. A .tiff is sent back (if it ever even left, might just be the same one created to be sent to SEFx?) but it's not black and white and doesn't have any of the SEFx edits - unlike how the round trip worked when I used SEFx with LR and PS.


So I did a File Explorer search for the .tiff files and several PS 'File Shortcut' files show up (some with .COP and .COF extensions under Users/ADMIN), but I get the following message in PS if I try to open any of them:


 


"Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document."


 


The only way I can open the B&W .tiff file with the edits made in SEFx is by opening the ACDSee Ultimate 10 .tiff image using ACDSee Quick View. I have ACDSee 10 installed on my computer but never use it since I got COne at the same time. Why it's where SEFx is sending .tiffs imported from COP, I have no idea.


 


'Settings' in SEFx shows nothing that would allow me to choose where to send edited and saved files. I'd like for them to be saved back to COne since I never bothered learning ACDSee and prefer to keep things simple and everything in COne.


 


What am I not doing right in order to get saved .tiff files to show up back in COne?

Hi,

 

I am un sing the same configuration, and it does work. The Tiff shows up in C1 viewer and is saved in the same folder as the original. If you don’t see the file: could it be that a filter is active? Maybe one of the global filters?

 

Good luck!

Holger

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
