Emulate Color Chrome and Color Chrome FX Blue in Capture One

Is there a process or curve to emulate Color Chrome or Color Chrome FX Blue in Capture One?

I am trying to match a raw file to an in-camera JPEG. I messed up the framing using xpan format, and want to recreate the photo with different framing. Having a damned of a time.

Have you looked at fuji's X Raw Studio? Assuming you have the raw and camera you can re-process as a 16bit tiff and take that back into C1

I f you start to watch YT videos on the colour toolset in C1 Pro , you will learn that by selecting a colour with a dropper, or variations of a colour with multiple drops, you will then be able to refine this selection down to the sky area.There is also a tick box to turn all non selected areas of the image B&W, easily demonstrating the success of your selection.

In the " skin tone " colour panel you can control all aspects of this selection, and in order to remove blotchy skin you can smooth out the tonal variations.... aka get rid of ( mostly) the wide angle polarised sky look, or with the lightness slider darken a blue sky far more evenly than any other method.There is , with the three dots in the top right of the panel , a way of turning this selection into a mask, and remember masks are able to be retouched removing any similar blue tone darkening in the main body of the shot outside the sky. I think a far more able and adjustable process than a one button does all solution really only made to help the jpeg shooters.

Thanks Andy...that did the trick. It is a slick bit of software.

I love the Fuji color and other processing that is proprietary and not available in C1, Lightroom, and other softwares. I use X Raw Studio to export my work to TIFFs, which I then import into LR, C1, etc., for further processing. This way, I retain all of the Fuji-ness.

You've already figured out the only way to get the "Fujiness". It's a bit of a pain as workflows go, but as long as you keep the RAW files you can reverse decisions you made that you don't like when you edit in LR or C1.

This would be a lot easier if Fuji would save as a TIFF in camera.

LR and C1 do not honor many features and selections made to the settings in-camera. The noise profile is completely different, for example. LR and C1 color profiles, even though named after their Fuji counterparts, are also only guesses and simulations. They are not authentic like they would be straight from Fuji software. That's why X Raw Studio requires attachment of the camera, to use the camera's authentic image processing.

My post seems to have given you the wrong impression. We're saying the same thing.

What I meant to say was if the OP keeps the RAW files, they can reprocess in X-RAW Studio if they're not happy with how the file was processed in camera, and then bring a new, re-processed TIFF into Lightroom or C1 for additional work (which seems to be what they want to do).

You're absolutely right that neither LR nor C1 is duplicating what happens in camera (or using X-RAW studio). If someone wants the Fuji look, they have to use Fuji RAW development tools.

Thank you, I am 100% in agreement.
