process for color before converting to b&w?
should I get the best color look before I convert to b&w or just go straight to enable b&w & then process a raw file? thanks.

Because highlights, shadows, and contrast in general can change so much between a color picture and a b&w picture, I wouldn't spend the time perfecting the color if you know for certain you will be using only B&W.
That said I'll typically work the photo in color then make a clone and convert that to b&w and see which version I prefer.0 -

In the days before our Cap One current tools we were taught to make [bad] colour before converting to grayscale.
First
think back to the old film days and that colour filters were used to affect tones in panochromatic film.
A red and green plaid would become a single mass of grey unless filters were used to either lighten or darken the red to stand out from the green.
Then apply that. Make bad colour. Darken reds first then convert and get even more control.0 -
follow up to an old post: I've been processing in color first, then using the b&w tool tab to process in b&w, but I've rediscovered Google Nik Silver EFX. So should I export the color image to Silver EFX or do the b&w process in C-1 first & then export, or maybe it doesn't matter? Thanks. 0 -
Do both to find out which works best for your workflow.
Keep in mind that if you export a photo in B&W out of Capture One you may loose the ability to make adjustments with the color sliders of the B&W tools in other editing programs and only be left with contrast, curves, levels, etc for making adjustments.0 -
good point - thanks. 0
