It is pretty horrible! To be fair to Topaz they do say - "When our products work, they work really well. But the nature of living on the cutting edge means that we can often fail spectacularly too!"

Tom - good point. I was being rather blinkered in my comment, thinking only from a personal perspective. There will be many people, professional and otherwise, for whom post-processing is more ...

Michael - another point I think it's worth mentioning is the fact that the ability to capture interesting and enjoyable photographs is ultimately more important than the post-processing. Looking ...

Michael - another vote for the 'old eyes' brigade! I have viewed the images of the cat on my 30" monitor and, yes, there are subtle differences but whether they are significant to the individual ...

As Ab S says the image quality of the Express and Pro versions are the same. What has changed over the years are a number of user controls. Frankly, many of the changes have not made a large ...

Capture One gives you the opportunity to create a personalised tool tab or you may prefer to work with the standard ones. My personalised tool tab includes Histogram, White Balance, Exposure, ...

I guess there is little to be lost by getting a trial license for PL immediately. It will cost you nothing and give you the opportunity to play with the software. If you like it and there is a ...

Speed editing as is available with Capture One for the most commonly used edit functions.  Hold down a keyboard key and either use the mouse scroll or move the mouse side to side.  Easier and ...

I had this debate with myself a few months ago. I use Capture One and overall have been very happy with it but there is no doubt that Deep Prime noise reduction is significantly better than the ...

I can't help with your question but it's a lovely photo. Where was it taken?

I agree with you about not wishing to use more tools than necessary to develop an image. I'm not sure at the moment how I will continue to use PL with C1, but certainly I will be utilising ...

Think Tank Mirrorless 20. Holds the RX10 with the lens hood mounted and a little space left at the other end for spare battery or whatever. The camera is positioned in just the way I like it so ...

DJF55 - I replied to your question a little while ago as part of a longer post. Hope it is of some help, but no doubt you will experiment to find out what suits you best. I'm still on quite a steep ...

Vivix - I have created new Preset folders within Customise > Preset Editor. Actually I've created two new folders: the first one is called DP+Dist (DeepPrime+Distortion) and the second is ...

Thanks Tom.  I'll try enabling Meta data synchronisation in PL and see if that preserves the EXIF information through to editing in C1 and then exported as a JPEG.  I have some doubts :(

Many thanks for your comments. As mentioned in my Edit note I found the cause of the problem after my initial post. I had tried different USB cables. The external dock has its own power supply. I ...

I use DXO PL5 to process my RAW images and the EXIF information is always preserved. Is it possible you have save EXIF disabled somewhere? Thanks Tom. In PL Preferences I do not have 'Meta data ...

I've been spending a fair amount of time recently with both products. As of the moment I'm completely happy using PL for lens correction and noise reduction before shipping things over to C1 for ...

Thank you. Yes, shot in RAW and processed with DxO Photolab 5 Elite for noise reduction and lens correction, followed by general editing in Capture One.  Is there a way to preserve EXIF date from ...

Edit: after considerable experimentation it seems that one of the drive slots is functioning erratically. I've been in contact with StarTech but it seems likely they will suggest I return the unit. ...
