Colorspace Workflow in Capture One Pro 11 with Colorchecker
Hi,
when I work on a photograph in Capture One Pro 11 I usually start by normalizing shadows and highlights with the show Exposure Warnings turned on until they disappear. After that I would round trip to Photoshop exporting a PSD 16bit with Adobe RGB color profile. So when I do this, the PSD will immediately appear in my Capture One Pro library below the original RAW file. When I select the PSD file the viewer will display exposure warnings again, although I normalized them before.
The question is, why is that? This leads me to the conclusion that the export from Capture One Pro NEF to Photoshop PSD 16bit does a color conversion on the file, or am I wrong?
What would be the correct workflow for round tripping between Photoshop and Capture One Pro with the right colorspace wokflow?
Another thing I noticed is that there is obviously no plugin for Capture One Pro in order to work comfortably with the Colorchecker Passport from X-Rite. If anyone can tell me if there is a possible precise workflow for incorporating these Colorchecker Passport pics for generating precise color rendition for my camera, I would be very thankful.
Kind regards
Marcin

have you checked your view / proof setting so you work on the image with the same profile as you use for export ? to get accurate color rendering without the p1 " special seasoning " I very much recommend you give lumariver profile designer a try. 0 -
Hi Horseoncowboy,
thank you for your hint, after selecting the Adobe RGB Profile the exposure warnings disappeared!
As for the lumariver profile designer, I'm not willing to spend another 90 EURs on a licence. For now I will wait for X-Rite to publish maybe a plugin for Capture One Pro someday...
kind regards

Hi Marcin,
I guess than you can wait a long time ☹️
As far as I can see there is not even one plugin for Capture One (or have you seen any?). Think it does not have a developer API like Lightroom or good old Aperture have.
Will make the same request to Phase One. Let's hope we will get this integrated soonish somehow (also waiting for this!)
Best
