Is the max number of layers still 16?
Is CaptureOne going to support more than 16 layers at some point? Over the year's I've sort of kept track of this and they did move it from 10 to 16 layers in v10 I believe, but I still find this to be a huge drawback (and possible limitation) especially for complex editing. In LIghtroom, you can have (from what I can see) a large number of local adjustment / masks (equivalent to Layers in C1) and no real limitation that I can see. Yes it can impact performance a bit, but at least there is the option to have very fine grained control and a lot of masks if you need to.
Say you're processing a photo with 2 or 3 people in it. If you had to retouch say the hair, eyes, and face on each person that would require about 6-9 different masks in many cases.
I really wish they would consider increasing this to something like 32 or more. Maybe even allow support for a high number of layers (say 99) but just warn users that having more than, say, 24 layers, may cause performance issues but otherwise make the limit high for those who maybe are more concerned about fine-grained control over their images and can deal with the potential performance issues. Personally, I would take a slightly slower editing experience for more flexibility. I feel that it's hard to sell a product as a powerful one-stop processing solution when they have limitations like this. LR may be slower than CAptureONe in many respects, but at least these types of limitations are not imposed on the user.
I would really like to see this "fixed" because there are some features that CaptureOne does very well, and I've considered adding it to my workflow perhaps as my primary RAW processor, but this arbatrary limitation is what's sort of holding me back.

Still 16. Unfortunately.
I also find it extremely limiting.Lightroom is fast surpassing CaptureOne in terms of capabilities. If it weren’t for LR horrible tethering - I would’ve have switched back completely and saved myself the $$

Agreed. I think your suggestion of allowing more layers but warnings on possible performance issues is sound.

This is a serious limitation. I keep getting warnings. A limit of 16 layers something yoi might see in the 1990s, and not in 2024. Compared to CaptureOne compeditors, this is extreamly limiting, This is really hitting the show stopper point for my workflow.
