Zoom Scaling 3.6
Its hard for me to get adjusted to the scale on the zoom slider even though it is converted on the top right, which is kind of weird. I'm so used to Photoshops definition of 100% which is a 1 to 1 pixel relationship to the screen, which makes perfect sense. 400% translates to 100% which makes it very annoying and the slider is good but needs an entry point so one can type in the zoom amount so one doesn't have to hunt for the exact amount of zoom wanted. I guess the poor rendition of the image below 400% or Photoshop 100% is terrible and a well known bug, that needs to be fixed. Also the 400% Photoshop 100% redraw rate is very slow, it needs better coding to eliminate the lag of the redraw. Everytime I scroll the preview window it has to redraw the screen, this tells me C1 is using very bad video codes to do this. When you click on the thumb nail C1 should render the RAW at 400% Photoshop 100% automatically and allocate memory for it for the editing preview so it refreshes at a blink of an eye no matter what zoom you work with. These are the main things I dislike to use C1, poor video performance.

Ok I see why its scaled to 400%.... what I see is that your default is to render 4x smaller than the original first. Thats why I'm having problems zooming up because it is roughly interpolating up until it gets to 400%. Thats kind of nutty to me... your sacraficing quality video for speed which to me is backwards logic, but when you get to 400% it slows down so why not start off with a true 1 to 1 image and interpolate down. I think this is why lots of people think this is a crap piece of software. To me if you spend a good amount of money for a RAW converter it should yield good quality video at what ever percentage of the zoom you use to insure good visual editing. This needs to be fixed IMO. Makes the software seem to be poorly designed. 0 -
Larry,
I think you have misunderstood the way COne works. For each raw file there's a small preview file created. When you are at 100% then the preivew data is shown in the preview window and the advantage is that all changes can be shown in real time. The reason it takes longer to update the preivew when you are at 400% is that now the actual raw data is used and not the smaller preview data. So there's no problem with poor video drivers etc.
In my opinion the way COne works is one of it's strengths and I can't see any reason for P1 to change this.0 -

I think I said this in my 2nd post. This logic is wrong. You can't do your best editing from an interpolation from a small size. Its just poor manipulation, even a cheap photo editor can make good clean images appear fast. Its not what an expensive RAW converter should be like. Anways it should give you a 1 to 1 immediately from the start not a poor render in a smaller size. Its totally insane.

To my knowledge (hopefully someone from P1 who knows the inner mechanisms can comment on this) when you use the raw data at least part of the raw conversion has to be done each time you make a change. So I don't think you can compare this to editing a RGB image in a photo editor. 0 -

Every other RAW converter that I have behaves extremely well in handling previews. I love how C1 does in converting, but my point is if you pay for a graphic program it should handle zooms and previews like a champion. My first impression of the software was "ouch the previews are terrible" and the first impression is important in selling software. They do need to fix the bad graphic coding. I think they'll sell more if they do so people can get a good first impression.
