CO Pro needs conversion to Smart Objects

Ralph Eisenberg
For some time I have been making the feature request for CO to make conversions to smart objects with the possibility, once they are opened in Photoshop, to return to CO to tweak the conversion parameters. I find this capability of ACR quite congenial, as the conversion parameters are not written in stone and later adjustments are possible.
If you also consider that this would be useful, it may be helpful to go through the usual avenues for a feature request and let Phase One know.

    In some ways this feature already exists... As long as your smart object is a Tiff or Jpeg. Just make the edits in Capture One to the Raw file, re-process and replace the old Tiff with the edited one. To do this on a Raw level is not really possible because Photoshop is using ACR as a Raw engine. Basically for it to work Adobe actually has to implement support for Capture One adjustments and that would not only be a rather large task for them, but also very likely outside of their marketing scope as well.

    I had assumed that considerable obstacles exist to the implementation of this feature. I have also had to adopt in the past the time-consuming, fastidious process that you point out, which to my mind does not provide the ease of use and fluency of the raw-converter- to smart-object-to raw converter (and back) that is available in ACR-Photoshop, which I regret. Thank you for your reply, none the less, although it does not bear encouraging news.
