Different histograms after conversion C1 Pro --> TIFF
I convert my RAW files with C1 Pro 3.6 and faced with the following problem:
When I use histogram to make some correction to the image (mostly boost contast by setting shadows and highlights) moving... those small \"piramids\" under it to the places where histogram actually begins to rise and then convert the RAW to TIFF (or JPEG) I always get different result - in C1 Pro I see good photo with great contrast, white balance, details etc as I want it to be... but TIFF is okay with everything except contrast - flat image... not really bad but not the one I saw in preview = checking it in PS CS and what I see? - Histogram is still not from 0 to 255 as it must be but I again get \"holes\" at the left or(and) at the right of the graph. Have to correct it again... now not in RAW and it is a double work and making me mad! What is wrong? Please give me some suggestions on how to fix this.
Thx

Energo,
There are some details missing with your post. I don’t want to assume too much, so I’ll offer a general descriptive and hope that this helps you figure out what may be happening in your workflow.
Be sure you are using the exact same color profiles to view in both softwares. In Capture Help, search for “photoshop†and you will see topic of establishing Color Management workflow tips.
The absolute best way to judge color is with a calibrated monitor, with the calibration saved and selected in Capture One. Be sure your workflow is consistent with ICC profiles. i.e. if you capture set to Adobe RGB then be sure that is the color space selected for output in processing. Check your Workflow pulldown and then Color Management Settings. You will also see that it lists Monitor profile selections.
In PhoShop, be sure your preference color settings are the same as well. Consistency is the name of the game.
Are you soft proofing in Photoshop? Being sure to utilize the same output profile used in Capture One?
If choosing a specific output profile in Capture One, (i.e. printer or lab), soft proofing needs to be enabled in PhoShop with same profile selected. Soft proofing is not always on, and if Off it ignores your output color space. In Photoshop, CMYK is the default set-up profile. Under View > Proof Setup you will see the choices available.
Hoping this is enough direction for you to figure it out. 💡
Sincerely,
