Import with camera picture settings
Recently I took a few photos with my Nikon D810 set to "Monochrome". When I imported them into CP1 v10 they were color RAW files. Did I miss a setting in "import" to preserve the in-camera picture settings or does CP1 v10 not import those adjustments made in camera?
Thanks,

The RAW file is what the camera sensor records, and Capture One does not presume to mess with it directly. It aims to import all the information the sensor gathered, and that was in colour (except in the case of specially designed cameras like Phase One's achromatic camera).
However, if you want to, you could have Capture One apply one of its B&W presets on import (or one of your own).

Only Nikon software such as NX2, NXD, or Picture Control will apply the in camera picture settings of a Nikon camera. If you want to keep the in camera settings you would need to either import the pictures into nikon software then export the pictures from there as tiffs or jpgs into capture one, or you could set the camera to output jpg or tiff instead of, or as well as NEF files. This is a hassle, but sometimes the cameras B&W conversion is very nice and hard to achieve in other software so perhaps it is worth it from time to time.
But like Ian said if you open an NEF in Capture One, or any other RAW converter besides Nikon specific software, it will open a color photo that you will need to apply adjustments too.0 -
Thank you for your replies and help! I really appreciate it and may play around with the tiff option for fun. I didn’t think of that. 0 -
In fact if you got the camera to output both JPG and RAW, you'd get a B&W JPG and you could challenge yourself to see whether you can create a better B&W than the camera did.
