Hi Paul and everyone who reads the comment ! First of all Paul i want to thank you for saying us, that you hope too, that c1 wil improve his app regarding the panoramic stitching, the hdr and most of all an improvement in noise reduction like the other apps have allready done, for example lightroom and DXO. it is not often the case that someone who works for a acompany is fair enough to say that something coud be made in a better way 👍. As i said you before in another message, the interview with Rafael Orta did'nt give us a lot of hope in that sense ! the demonstration with the work of the curves, luma and RGB was abolutely brilliant like every time. C1 is not getting better but Paul Reiffer is 😂😂🤣! ( how can he become better. he is already on the top!!) For me , the lesson of croping with the snow was very , very important., because i probably would have made like the person: a croping without enough air to breath. Thank you for all Paul and i hope really that c1 will improve again, because i don't want to go to lightroom, even if it is better now for certain things!
Healing and cloning picks the raw pixels and I have always a problem to do healing at the end of en edit. Annoying but it now study the raw picture and decide on the crop and healing before I make the first edit.
I'm not sure if I like the idea that regular C1 users are now second class as far as support goes. I think that every user should get the best product support possible, and not have theirs's throttled down to make way for better service (allegedly) for All in One special users.
My understanding is the baseline hasn't been changed - they're effectively providing additional resource to speed things up for those who are on the All-In-One plan. So, existing users should see no difference from now, AIO users will get their 12 hour response.
I along with others have been asking CaptureOne folks a simple thing, respect the in camera crop. So if I select 1:1 in my GFX, when I import into C1, show me that 1:1. But nope. Somehow C1 folks are not able to get this simple thing. The crop info is in the exif, just apply it on import and then let me decide if I want to keep it to change it. But no.
One issue that shows up in this video is just how abysmal the so-called "magic brush" is. It basically just does not work. I've no idea how a Tolerance setting of 1 can in many cases select pretty much the entire image. Certainly there are cases with low contrast where it isn't easy, but (a) it isn't only such situations where it falls over, and (b) if I only wanted solutions for "easy" problems I wouldn't be paying the premium price CaptureOne requests. Lr is just on another planet in masking. I can understand that Adobe has huge resources, can pour millions of images into Machine Learning training, etc etc, but (e.g) OnOne and Luminar probably are to C1 as C1 is to Adobe, and THEY do much better. Much the same goes for the extremely wonky auto mask, which I assume under the hood is pretty much exactly the same code. It really does seem that C1 product management has feature release deadlines, to which they stick regardless of quality, and once something is out it never, but never gets improved. Unless of course they are features that, incomprehensibly, seem to be trying to attract PhotoMechanic users. I wonder how many PM users who might be attracted don't already HAVE a C1license? Really it seems to be a lost cause, and it is really tragic given the underlying quality of the application. Paul, it seems that even with your "clout", they ignore you (e.g. Noise Reduction ), but I'm posting this rant here on the outside chance that C1 staff pay more attention to your YT channel than their support channels. I think if I were a portrait/studio/fashion commercial shooter I'd be happy enough, but I'm not, I'm an amateur landscape/travel photographer, a C1 customer since 2004, and it really seems that my business is no longer considered worth retaining. The only things keeping me hoping are this channel and Andrea Livieri's as evidence that top-line "outdoor" photographers remain with C1. Apart from these it's wall-to-wall studio tethering.
thank you!
Mr. Reiffer, thank you so much for these live editing sessions! I find them really useful.

Yeah - it’s a little frustrating when the results are more random following a few layers. Shouldn’t be the case, but I’d also now do healing first…

My subscription license renews end of October. Do you think they account for the overlap if one buys the all in one offer upgrade now?
There's been quite a bit of talk about this - best to raise a support ticket to clarify for your own scenario :-)
Thanks Paul, will do.
Great product, yet I've sent three messages to support team and nothing back from them yet - it's been weeks. Frustrating is an understatement.

Why not just set your crop to "Original" and set your "Aspect Ratio Behaviour" to "Global" in settings?
