Capture One should not be dedicated only for studio/wedding photographers
Already several years as I became constant user of C1. During all those years I've seen a loot of improvements made primary to improve workflow of studio and wedding photographers. It is also important part of my work, but I would like to see more features designed for landscape, nature and street photographers. Many photographers nowadays shooting also with a film camera in addition to their high-end digital cameras. Would be super if C1 could add specific features to work with scanned negatives like: 1) Conversion from negative to positive, 2) Noise reduction for images with film grain. 3) Sharpening for scanned negatives, 4) B&W color space support, etc.
Missing features for landscape and nature photographers: 1) Advanced masking with allows select sky, water, foreground, background, trees, animals etc. Possibility to create mask intersection and subtraction (in/from radial and linear not rasterised masks). 2) Styles should allow to see and change every included adjustments. C1 is selling styles hiding from user all included adjustments. I think a revenue from selling styles is very small and this fact blocks development of very important features for landscape photographers. Even own styles I can't change embedded adjustments separately. For the same type of style I need to create a lot of variants in order to use it. All this limitations makes use of styles useless. 3) focus stacking 4) sky replacement 5) existing AI masks practically not working for landscape photos. 6) Smart adjustments to working without faces. 7) C1 not offers any filters like for example Orton effect, Sunrays, glow, etc
General remarks: 1) Import to a catalogue happens very slow 2) Until now there is no possibility to see photos in the browser from several catalog folders!!!!!!!! 3) there is no possibility to create stack from several similar photos or cloned versions. 4) use of keywords and filters are limited to its typical basic functions.
