Preview Quality Improved?

Class A
I won't be able to test C1 11 for a while as I'm travelling but am still curious whether the issue of poor quality preview renderings has been addressed.

The output proofing feature of C1 provides a workaround but comes with its own disadvantages. In no way is working at a 100% magnification a solution to the problem.

I wouldn't necessarily expect perfection with respect to preview quality, but it shouldn't be hard to improve upon the level offered by C1 10. FWIW, in particular vertical images from a high resolution camera (36MP) appear to suffer the most from blurriness.

N.B., I created a respective support case a long time ago, with supporting images.

    Thanks for checking and sharing.

    I hope those of us who suffer from the issue keep reminding Phase One from time to time, so that they don't get the impression that no one cares anyhow.

    sad, but it seems this does not impress them much. but when a good alternative, probably from affinity becomes available I´m done with capture one because of this issue.

    Here's what I see in Capture One 11, normal view vs 100% zoom. It is REALLY, REALLY BAD. The normal view looks just plain broken. As if the previews were generated in very low amount of color bits, so any color adjustments break the image and make it pixelated.

    The first image is in normal, "fit to screen" mode, shows just abysmal amount of noise (if we can call that noise at all).

    vs

    The second image is for 100% zoom of the same location. Notice, there are no such problems as shown in the original preview. The exported picture is also free from it. So this is clearly the preview issue ☹️

    With certain high-ISO images, the difference between the preview and the 100% view results in a very different overall colour balance. ☹️

    I don't understand why there is no "opt-in" behaviour to have the first (quick to produce but problematic in terms of quality) preview be replaced (as quickly as possible) by a custom-generated rendering that takes the current viewing resolution into account. This custom-rendering should then also be used as the basis to quickly preview image adjustments (instead of going back to the problematic preview image).
