For CO7 stays away from the firepro line. Look into the GTX 6xx series (non-M) or the ati 79xx series.

Monochrome sensors can provide a level of detail unheard of when using bayer layout sensor, because there is no guesswork involved when render the raw.
Phase One also makes monochrome backs. These...

You should try the most current Capture One (7.1.1) :)

There are two factores you forget:
- Diffraction
- Depth of field

With a 35 mm fullframe cam, and 50 mp, your pixels would be so tiny that you would hit diffraction at a very low aperture value....

You can always shot tethered from Capture One with a PC or Mac.

I'll second that. Especially with the new lens correction profiles, and GPU powered processing and adjusting.

I sold my D3 when the D3x came out, as I could shoot iso 100 instead. Made my life a good bit easier.

Primarily because of the flash systems. A lot of them cannot be turned enough. With the x-pro I couldn't go below f/8 on my Profoto Acute 1200. So shooting low dof shots at around f/2.8 is out the...

Had the chance to shoot with the X-Pro1 while doing a studio-shoot. I normally shoot with a Nikon D3x, so the X-pro1 is vastly different.At least I don't hope people buy it for this kinda stuff....

You can correct this issue with a LCC shot through a white plate.This can be fed into Capture One, and it will remove the x-shaped vignette, colorcasts, and dust specs.More info here:...

Capture One would be the best for that back, as it is the same company that makes both. The P45+ files has tweaks, custom icc's and so in CO.

Using PS: File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Pro

Don't remove them. You'll make the eyes look dead and dry.

Yep

Capture One 7 for everything but retouch  (toning, lens adjustments, keystoning and so on) and then PS for the final skin-retouch.

Have you tried CO version 7?

Been using CO for years. I think is easier get good skintones, and it's to manipulate with these as well. Beyond that I find the way CO applies contrast and so on more pleasing than LR (or ACR for...
