I prefer C1's sliders too and speed edit. Especially on a notebook. Autolevel is a great feature, it gives images a nice pop, especially in combination with some clarity. Miss autolevels in DXO. Ay ...

On Fredmiranda is very elaborate review of PL5 from Ayoul. Look for his description of PL's color palette and color rendering. It works a bit different than Capture One. https://www.fredmiranda.com ...

Yep, that's the way things will quite likely go. That leaves the free Darktable, very good demosaic for xtrans, but strange interface and slow on my older notebook. The image quality is at least ...

Have both. Both are very sharp lenses. The 35/2 just not into the far corners. THE 35/2 has a nice bokeh. The 27/2.8 ist best at F5. 6. Tack sharp corner to corner. The 27/2.8 pancake is as ...

On Fredmiranda is very elaborate description of PL5 from Ayoul under rendering he writes: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1735333 One nice consequence is of course that you can use this ...

I used to have a DP2M. Loved the images, but not the lack of EVF. There is a great video review for the gfx50r and the small 50mm lens from John Armstrong. The images he shows have some real nice ...

They are better than Capture One's too.

DXO PL also allows you to use profiles from other cameras. I can apply a Leica M9 profile to my Fuji XT. That's not possibly with capture one. It also allows film sims with linear Dngs. It's a ...

In Europe it's now available from Rollei for 599 Euro. https://www.rollei.de/products/viltrox-objektiv-xf-75-mm-mit-fuji-x-mount-11037

It's a shrinking market. They just can try to get a bigger slice of a shrinking cake. Most customers they want to attract from competing brands are used to PASM.

Capture One +quality.  - high price Darktable + quality ++free  - interface DXO PL6 + quality + better perpetual license price than Capture one

I assume it's the 40mp sensor. It's one of the 2 new sensors they have. The main problem I have with smaller Fuji bodies is their stripped down EVF. Nikon got that right with a good EVF in their ...

From my experience capture one, dark table and DXO PL are the best for xtrans. That might help a bit. Pure raw should show the same results. https://fstoppers.com/reviews/can-dxo-photolab-6-elite-k ...

Sorry, I posted the wrong petapixel link. Here is the correct one.

I hope dpreview stopped using LR for Fujii xtrans files, especially comparing how lenses and sensors resolve.

Here is a good article from Thom...

I use sessions. When I update to a new version, capture one asks whether I want to update the my images to the new engine. https://imagealchemist.net/processing-pipeline-in-capture-one/

But this perpetual license you will get after 5 years of hoping won't last for ever. As other mentioned, system upgrades might break it, or it does not support a new camera model. And another point ...

Yo are mixing up hardware with software that an be indefinitely duplicated.

Why should they? Adobe achieved revenue of $17.61 billion in fiscal year 2022, which represents 12 percent year-over-year growth or 15 percent adjusted year-over-year growth. That made capture ...

I does not help a lot, because it's not backward compatible. An older version cannot read the adjustments from a newer version and it's engine.
