C1 Pro does not produce vivid colors vs. Photoshop CS2?
I have been using CaptureOne Pro for about a year now. I am not an expert, but I have been a fan of C1 because of batch processing feature. I have used Canon 20D and C1 Pro v3.7.1 and have been extremely happy with the result. Recently I have upgraded to Canon 30D and v3.7.4. After the upgrade I noticed that the resulting pictures from C1 had very light color and were not as vivid as the CS2 pictures. Actually, edited pictures (using RAW) from C1 had lighter color than the original jpeg files - I usually shoot RAW + small jpeg.
Basically, I have given up using C1 Pro for now and I have been using CS2.
I am guessing my set up is wrong or needs to be adjusted. What are some of the things I need to check in C1? I have used both Canon 20D and Canon 30D profiles - same result.

Something is amiss here because the fact is you can get Dead-On desired color results from Capture One.
Start with checking your Color Management settings.
>Be sure your monitor calibration file is correctly set
>Camera Product and Profile are set automatically from meta data
>Destination (Working Space ) check setting and be sure this desired setting is what you have set at the Process tab.
>verify the embedded profile is correct in Photoshop
If all are in order and you still do not like th results of the 30D generic profile, then use the Color Editor to create a Custom profile from the generic that produces exactly the results you're after.
If images are light color, add some Saturation at the Exposure tab and apply to all images. You can also save as a .crv file to be reused on all Sessions.
When comaring color in Photoshop, be sure you have set the correct softproof profile used for Capture One.
Default is CMYK and you will see a great difference in color.
Best to compare Apples to Apples 😉

On my computer/ in C1 CM-Settings are correct; the proof-profile in C1 and PS is the same [preset is a rgb-profile].
But colors and contrast in C1 and PS look different; in PS the pictures are less saturated and have less contrast as viewed in C1. Even when using 'simple' profiles like sRGB or photogamutRGB set as working space both in C1 and PS. This is somehing I can not correct with a modified camera-profile.
Something else to check or adjust to see the same results in PS as before in C1?
[C1 Pro 3.7.4 + PS CS2]
Thanks a lot.

What color profile are you outputting to from C1?
What are your color settings in PS? Do you have it converting to a different profile on opening in Photoshop? Turn on the "ask for mismatches". This will at least alert you if they don't match.0
