LZW Compression not compressing as much as it can
While I am happy to see LZW tiff compression in the new version it doesn't nearly compress as much as it does in Photoshop.
For example:
Raw tiff: 112MB
C1Pro 4.5 LZW tiff: 84MB
Photoshop CS3 LZW tiff: 51MB
I still have to send everything through Photoshop so I am kind of bummed about this.
Hopefully this can be fixed.

It is a known issue since CO4 was introduced. I will list it on my feature request list which I will send to Phase One shortly. Let's see what comes out of it. 0 -
I agree, this is an odd one. I was excited to not have to run all our images through PS. Let's hope this (among other things) gets fixed. 0 -
I have not tried LZW-function in Ph1 4.5 yet, but in my workflow I allmost allways take my pictures through Photoshop for some retouching, partial lightening/darkening/contrast etc. So this feature will save me the time of going through the "save as"-menu to get LZW-tiff. And by saving as LZW in PS the files will be compressed more, right? 0 -
It's been 7 months since anyone hit this thread yet the original problem still exists. Will there ever be a fix? Am I missing something? The LZW option in C1 appears to be useless. 0 -
What's your goal with compression? To save drive space? Shorten uploads? You could zip your files before shipping if that's the case. Hard drives are so cheap and big these days I can't imagine that's a problem.

Looks like this has still not been fixed after 13 years....
I do have problems as the LZW compression is very minimal...I have to run them thru PS.. with add one more step to my workflow.... some retouching services are unable to load a 95MB file...
The compression coming from Capture is to 85 MB... the compression coming from PS is to 45!!!!
