Surface Pro 4 Performance issues - Adjustment masks
Hi there
I've registered for a month trial period and have been testing C1.
I'm quite happy with the performance on my desktop (Win10, i7, 32GB) and then tested editing offline files on my Surface Pro 4 (Win10, i7, 16GB, SSD) which worked quite well. Tethered capture worked great.
Obviously the performance on the tablet wasn't comparable to the desktop, but it was good enough for the occasional edit.
That is until I tried the adjustment masks.
A few functions of the adjustment masks don't work with offline files (Auto and the filling one). These I can live with, but the rendering of the mask is slow or doesn't show at all. The options of "always display" or clicking on the orange dot to show the mask wouldn't show all of the area highlighted.
I have to select a different image, and then go back to the original image to be able to see the mask I drew.
I was surprised because I use the tablet with Lightroom and cataloging, rating, basic edits (incl. masks) etc. works really well, even with offline files.
I would like to know if anybody else is using C1 with a Surface tablet.
How are your experiences?
Does it work or was it simply not designed for systems with midrange graphic cards.
Thank you for the feed back.

Hi there,
Adjustment Masks (esp. showing the mask with the "M" shortcut) has always been really laggy on my Surface Pro 3 and my Surface Book with dedicated GPU (dGPU). They did improve support for the Surface Book's GPU so that rendering works much more quickly (and files do not have bizarre artifacts in them). However, Adjustment Masks are still slow.
Trying to perform subtle adjustments is pretty much out of the question because by the time you've done some masking, you have to wait for the computer to catch up. Sort of like playing Flight Simulator on the C64.
It's a mixed bag anyway as far as I can tell... trying to get good edges selected in things like sky vs. trees / ground to adjust the exposure usually results in a "halo" / "fringe" around the edges when you render the final image.
One thing to make sure you install on the Surface Pro is the Wintab pen drivers. And turn off Windows' "Flicks" feature, and possibly change your preference for "Long Press = Right Click". That makes working with Windows and the pen nicer for graphics apps.

Hello,
may I ask if you use an external display with the SP4 to run Capture1? If not, do you have the issue with C1 displaying tiny UI elements too? How did you solve it if so?0
