Started using C1 again, and notice something funny.

Export Nikon Z7ii raw file to JPG and select Full size High Quality Scale Fixed 100%

and it shrinks the Image to 5137x7706  (RAW files are 5504x8256)

If I select to define the resolution C1 will say it is 107%

  I have not changed any of the resolution settings.

  NOTE: I am new to C1 and have not used it very much yet.

  I checked in the Shape menu and looks like the size is there

  Not sure how they got altered to the lower values. JPG files which were captured at the same time (Camera set to capture RAW and JPG same time )

  Camera is Nikon Z7ii 

  JPG files show the size as Normal , RAWs show as different values

  DSC2923.NEF 5137 x 7706
  DSC2923.JPG 5504 x 8256

  DSC2922.NEF 5129 x 7694
  DSC2922.JPG 5504 x 8256

  Some Raw files are Normal full size.

  Looks like it is related to Lens correction/Distortion

  Distortion is set 100 and if I drop it to Zero it restores the size to full.

  Also unchecking Hide Distortion shows the crop applied by C1

  Just checked my other lens and it seems to have less distortion and hence does not get cropped or only slightly.

  Thanks I was not aware of this feature until now. (in C1)

  As I have only been using Lightroom. But after a short demo at a Photo Show Yesterday, he suggested that Capture one works better with RAW files and has better color etc. So I started using C1 again.

  and it looks like the results of RAW to JPG (with just default settings) is already showing better results.

  When I look at images from my other lens (Nikon Z85 f/1.8) the distortion is not as large compared to my Z24-70 f/4 lens (which was the one I started comparing images from today.

  I fully understand that Zoom vs fixed focal will have different distortions etc.

  To add something to this discussion: If you buy a zoom lens, always take care, that the value for the beginning aoerture is as low as possible. I shoot with a Nikon Z 14-24 mm 1:2,8 S, there is no distorsion, no loss of sharpness, nothing of that at all. If you compare the Z lenses 24-70 mm 1:2,8 S to the Z 24-70 mm 1:4 there is a serious difference in the results (and of course the prices for both lenses differ very much).... All Z lenses of the so called S Line (professional line) are fantastic with spectular results, you never ever have to apply something like lens correction, it´s completely unnecessary. So for a professional it´s always better to invest in a good lens (I partly shoot with lenses that are 20 years old or older) than to be angry about unperfect results and having spent money for less quality....
