hi all,
i was so happy that 6.4 arrived!
next week i'll work with a d800 and i'm going to use c1.
tonight i tried to develop a 6400iso file from d4, with c1 and phocus: here below the link to see a 100% tiff crop.
for my opinion c1 file is simply unusable.

any consideration will be very appreciated

  I have found that the presets for D4 in noise reduction is set way way too high.
  You could try to reduce those and see if you get a more pleasing result (for 6400 I reduce these to close to zero)

  maybe this article helps http://www.captureintegration.com/2010/ ... n-in-c1-6/ but better use LR 4,
  which is what i would recommend for everything above iso 200. i really hope they improve the de-mosaic algorithm and noise reduction with the next major release. the noise structure of a c1 processed file is ugly digital compared to the almost film like results of adobe or other converter like rawdeveloper.

  Let's face it the D800 is not good at High ISO anyway.

  anyway for my opinion 1600 iso d800 files are good enough, what's the iso limit about you derek?
  i used 3ds for two years with great result at 2500, even for clothes fashion catalog, so i'm curios to know the improvements also with d4 (the photographer has a d4 but we didn't used it at high iso so far). digital world screwed us, i don't even had time to do a proper test before or after shooting days!!
