For instance with Canon EOS Utility or even DSLR Remote Pro (some cheap tethering alternative) it is a feature set in the menus, to allow you to record to card and computer or just computer. Sorry this reply is so late, I never login to this site, but no, this is not a feature built directly into a camera.
This natural mode works surprisingly well with portrait images that require a bit of punch while at the same time avoiding the crunchy look often associated with the tool. The Clarity tool now offers a 'Natural' mode which gives the image added mid-tone contrast while preserving a natural and pleasing look. In addition to that, Moiré suppression, noise reduction and black and white conversions have been upgraded, as has the Clarity tool. Although the actual HDR or raw recovery options remain unchanged, the new version brings with it improved algorithms that perform better when pulling out detail in heavily under or overexposed areas. A number of improvements have been made to the existing tools to maximize the potential of your raw files. Given that one of the key reasons for using Capture One over other raw processors is image quality, the Phase One engineers have hardly opted for a feature over quality style update. Version 7 in the background, version 8 UI in the foreground Overall Processing Engine Improvements Despite my brief use of the product, the larger slider handles make it much easier to grab them and adjust them compared to the tiny ones found in version 7. Overall navigation and customization remains unchanged which makes it simple for existing C1 users to transition from past versions.
The user interface has seen a minor update with a cleaner and flatter look and feel in the buttons and toolbars as seen below. If you are an existing Lightroom user, version 8 also brings with it improved migration tools to help make the transition more seamless. Users with multiple graphics cards will see the greatest benefit as Phase One has introduced multi-GPU support for even faster processing. While my initial impressions of the speed are positive, I’ll leave my final verdict for a future review. Phase One claims significant improvements on both fronts with image importing, catalog loading and overall image processing times seeing cuts of 50%-75%.
Above all else the image quality is vastly superior and version 8 carries on that that tradition while improving one of the common gripes I heard from version 7 users which was speed and stability. More than just minor enhancements, version 8 brings with it truly useful features that allow you to perform more of your work within it and not have to turn to Photoshop or additional plug-ins.Īs you may already know, I recently made the switch from Lightroom to Capture One Pro for various reasons outlined here. Phase One has officially announced the release of Capture One Pro version 8 with a host of new features and a new purchasing model option.
