Artificially placed editing limitations in Capture One

JT Pennington
I've noticed that there seem to be certain limited placed in Capture One. You can't do more then 100 Spot corrections. You can't do more than 16 layers. And you can't do more than 33 selections in the Color Editor.

Firstly, is there a limit to other tools that I'm not aware of?

Secondly, does anyone know why these were put in place?

I discovered this trying to fix an image for a friend with a very dirty lens. First I ran into the spot limit, so I tried using the heal tool, but due to a varied background, I ran into the layers limit, because i was unable to have that many heal corrections pulling from the same reference area.

    I'm pretty sure those are put in place in order to preserve a certain performance.

    If you need +100 spot removals and +33 color selections and +16 layers, I'd suggest you use an image editor and not a raw editor.
    Photoshop would be a far better choice for image repair/restoration.

    Virtually everything one does with Software has to dow with size. Declare an integer variable - 1,2 or 4 bytes? Want some memory for your process - how many bytes? Store something on disk - how many bytes?

    Size limits also matter when you are going to verify the SW - check functionality, check speed - how many objects (layers, images) do you verify it with? 8, 16, 128, 1024, where do you stop?

    If you google "photoshop maximum number of layers" you find that until Photoshop 7.0 the maximum number of layers was 99, but more than a few hundred layers affect performance.

    I think CO 12 is the second Capture on version with layers, I'm not surprised by the current limit of 16.

    I don’t think those limitations have been ‘put in place’. Rather, they reflect Capture One’s current capability. The extensive retouching work you want is beyond the capacity of all current raw converters, not only Capture One. You need a ‘dedicated’ tool for your task. Photoshop is it.

    The constraints are all documented and have been in place since the features were introduced as far as I recall.

    A dirty lens problem manifesting as spots is unusual. More likely a dirty sensor. In which case the spots are likely to be quite consistently positioned (until the sensor is cleaned) and so the LCC option may be useful for the clean up exercise.

    HOWEVER, whether producing an LCC file now and applying it to previously taken images will be viable can only be discovered by trying it.


    HTH.

    AFAIK You can only have one source/target offset per layer for clone/heal operations.

    I wouldn't dare guess as to why this is, but I haven't seen it in any other piece of software.

    Another frustrating limitation is the dust spot circle is limited to 100 (for Sony RX100)
    I have a dust spot on RX100 that needs about 110 size. So frustrating.
