What I need to forget Adobe.

Hello friends. Here I'd like to share my almost completely satisfatcion in being a CaptureOne user. But I'd like to let developers know what I need to forget Adobe Lightroom and Canon Utilities. I'm a dslr user but I think that when the program was also developed for dslr users too the programmers should also listen to our needs.

1. Let us set the white balance in live view mode. At the moment the eye dropper doesn't work with Canon 5d MKIII
2. Let us orient the viewer in live view mode. At the moment it's impossible to correctly orient a vertical shoot. (In live view)
3. Create a quick AF button (In live view mode)
4. Let us use the "Split tones" also in RGB, at the moment I can only use the split tones panel in B/n.
5. This is a question: Is it possible to save raw files in cf also? (in tethered mode)
6. It would be useful to directly launch a file in ps without the need to export a tiff before.

With these improvements my Workflow would be easier and faster, and not only the mine.

Thanks to all

  A1. I like to note that White Balance in live view - limited to camera backs currently - does WB the live view only, not the capture. WB of the capture is already available after the first shot for DSLR shooters.
  
  A2. Asked for several times. I think Phase One is aware of the issue. Not sure whether the DSLR software kit is the limitation.
  
  A3. Auto Focus is a bit of an issue when you can not shoot from live view directly. Closing live view and shoot with AF will make the camera focus again. I believe Phase One is aware of that issue as well.
  
  A4. Split tones in color is to some extend possible with Levels and Curve tools, in channel mode.
  
  A5. No.
  
  A6. I know this feature from Canon's DPP, and I do not like it.
  
  Note: feature requests can best be addressed directly to Phase One in a support case for proper logging and reporting to R&D. You are of course free to discuss it here with other users.

  Thank you Paul. I'm going to address these requests to phase one support: Could you let me know where exactly please?
  As you said I also like to discuss with other users to be sure that I'm not the only one.
  
  AA1. Ok I understand it would useful if the white balance in live were extended do dslr user but to be very useful it would be effective for the capture too.
  
  AA2. Ok, we'll wait for.
  
  AA3. Completely agree with you.
  
  AA4. Curve tools is not properly the same that split tones. You do not achieve the same results and however it's slower than using the Split Tones. I use curve tool (absolutely a great tool) for other.
  
  AA5. Bad thing!! ☹️
  
  AA6. Why not?
  
  Thank you very much again Paul

  Enrico, you can contact support here:

  AAA6. I think the 'open in Photoshop without saving first' feature does not fit my workflow. The image is opened in PS 'untitled'. When I like to save it with the same name are the originating raw file, I have to look it up.
  Or maybe it is just that I got used to the current 'save file first and optionally open and edit elsewhere' workflow.
