But this has absolutely no effect on the preview in the editor. I also found the viewer setting “Proof Profile†where I can select several color spaces. How can you work on the picture when the software doesn't give you a proper preview? Maybe Capture One makes a “better†or “more accurate†or “deeper†interpretation, but I only want, that the software shows me a proper preview of the result which will come out after the conversion. => So the issue is the difference shown between pictures 1 and 2. You can see easily that there is nearly no difference between the look of the RAW (4) and the JPEG (5,6).Īlso the JPEG viewed with the Windows Explorer has the same apperance as the re-imported JPEG in Capture One (or Lightroom). Number 4 is the same RAW file in Lightroom. There definitely is a difference between the apperance of the RAW and the JPEG. The JPEG out of this RAW file (number 2 and 3), looks more flat, with less intensive brilliance. Number 1 (the RAW file) looks in Capture One quite "poppy", with a kind of "golden" effect. I tried to combine the issue on one screenhot (it's the same RAW-File):Ģ: Capture One Pro 7 Viewer: JPEG from 1 (re-imported) Unfortunately not so in Capture One, as you can see in my screenhots. These programs work as a “what you see is what you getâ€-editor. The thing is, that other RAW-Converters, like Lightroom or the Olympus program Olympus Viewer show me a preview which has exactly the same apperance as the later JPEG is, at least refered to color. Capture One always presents me a different “picture†as it is later seen in the JPEG! So minutes of work for noting. It is darker or less brilliant or what ever. But after the JPEG export it is not that green which I tuned in the editor. Maybe I can explain it with an exaggerated example:Īssume you have a RAW which is shown “white†in the editor, I want to have it more green and so I change the color settings until the picture in the viewer has the color I want to have. What is a preview wise for, when it does not show what comes out. But when I do adaptions like white balance, color shift, saturation, etc., I want to have this changes shown in the preview (editor). I do underwater photography, therefore I often want to correct several things in the picture before exporting them as JPEGs. In most cases I produce JPEG files for presenting in the web or presentations for friends and family. I’m comparing the PREVIEW in the editor with the JPEG result. I do not want to compare the JPEG output with the RAW file. Maybe you did not get the intention behind my question. □ĭid I something wrong, or what is the reason for this difference between preview and output? Currently it is more or less a kind of guess what the look of the CO7 output will be. For now, I must say, Lightroom does a better JPEG output. With Lightroom, the preview in the editor shows exact the same color settings and gradiation as the later JPEG output. Why?Īnother setting for ICC profile does NOT change the output! The loss of small details would be ok for me, but there is also a big difference in color and gradiation. 12 MB), the pictures quality is disappointing to me. Altough this JPEG with 100% output quality setting is nearly as big as the RAW (13 MB vs. The difference can be seen easily in the skin tones and the details in the hair. You see difference here already!Īnd I copied the export settings into this picture, too (lower left). The lowermost histogram is the one from the RAW. I tried to put everything on one picture to show an example: The most serious thing is, that the color is not the same between the preview in the editor and the exported image. But when it comes to JPEG export, pictures quality drops significantly. I worked with Capture One Pro 7.2 (CO7) for a couple of weeks now to check, if it could be an alternative to Lightroom 5.3.ĬO7 has some big advantages in processing details and "crisp" images out of the box.
