What am I doing wrong?
I have been switching from using Dxo Optics Pro to CaptureOne, both because I like what it does to my images and because of the new "round trip" functionality available with 8.2. Mostly this has been an easy change since everything in C1 makes good sense, but I am clearly doing something wrong when I crop some of the "birding" photos that I take when out camping.
Since the birds will not come very close I almost always have to crop the images and, sometimes, at as high as 100% since I am only using a 70-300mm lens. With Optics Pro, when I processed the cropped raw images to jpgs, the images were automatically resized so they displayed as full or near full size images when I used a viewer like ArcSoft's Photo+, but the images I process with C1 display as much smaller images and I assume I am making some basic mistake either when I crop them or when I process them.
My process is this:
First, set the C1 UI to show the image at 100%,
Next Crop at that setting,
Then adjust as desired,
Then process.
When I do this in Optics Pro (show the image at 100% and then crop) I get almost exactly the same image contents so I am reasonably sure that the crop really is at 100%. I have looked into the Preferences settings for C1 but found nothing that seemed like it should address this issue.
Since I could not find any way to imbed the images in this post I have uploaded them to dropbox and here are both images as shown in ArcSoft Photo+. You can easily see the difference in display size and that size difference is reasonable considering that the processed images sizes are very different (1427 x 932 compared to 2088 x 1345) although the cropped image is the same in both. Perhaps the correct question is why are the two images, which are cropped the same, rendered at different pixel sizes.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
NEVER MIND. Found the answer.

Optics Pro was upsizing or you were downsizing in CO maybe ? 😉 0 -
> Optics Pro was upsizing or you were downsizing in CO maybe ?
CO was downsizing and I did not realize it. I guess I had not paid enough attention to some of the items in the recipe I was using. I have corrected that problem (sort of, anyway), but am still puzzled as to whether or not there is any way to do what I would actually like to do.
I have reset the scale value from its previous value of 70% to 100% and now I am getting images with the cropped size, but I would like to upscale those so they fill the screen when processed to jpgs. However the only way I know to do that using fixed is to set the scale to something like 130% and then the image disk size for my uncorked images becomes very large because CO is upscaling both. I have been playing around with the other scale options and I suppose I will eventually figure out what is the best way to handle this.
As with this kind of thing, in the end I usually learn something I did not know before and that is a net positive. Even if the process is a pain to go through.0
