Problem with colors in viewing area

Etienne

Using Capture One Express for Sony, importing Sony RAW files to edit and export as JPEG. Recently find that the colors in the main viewing pane do not correspond to the eventual output. In viewing pane, the colors initially look dull and the image is dark. If I edit these to be acceptable in the viewing pane and then export to JPEG, the resultant JPEG looks over bright and over saturated.

    How is your screen calibrated?

    Does your system have any fancy tools for "managing" the screen settings for automatic adjustment of brightness, colour palette, blue light reduction settings and so on?

    When you export (or Output Process?) the jpgs what colour space settings are you using?

    There are many possible variables behind your question. Sometimes these things can become complicated. Especially with features that seem to be popular with screen manufacturers in recent years.

    Thanks, but I doubt that this is a screen setting issue since the small previews in the side bar seem to have correct colours and also, if I open the same RAW photo in Affinity on the same screen, without any editing, the colours are correct.

    Then, if you are using a non-Express version of C1, have you got Proof Profiling active? 

    Do you have an Output Recipe active? 

    If so, what are the chosen settings?

    There are a number of factors that could be influencing what you are seeing. Those above are just a couple of examples.

     

    ETA, whan you open the file in Affinity without any editing is it displaying an interpreted RAW file or the embedded jpg thumbnail within the RAW file?

    It's an old issue that seems they don't want to solve. On some photos the phenomenon is more evident.

    Try to zoom in to 100% the preview and view if the differences are still present.

    To view the problem without any doubts export uncompressed tiff 16bit prophoto RGB (no sharpening on output) and add the tiff to the same catalog/session. Then compare the two images that should be identical. But viewing to fit screen, they looks very different. Then zoom to 100% and you can see the miracle!

    It's a preview rendering problem.

    Thank you, this is absolutely 100% correct. 

    Sadly this means Capture One is not suitable for use in my workflow, since adding additional steps is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to achieve, i.e. simplifying my workflow.
