Multiple versions of photos?

Hello all,

I am curious about two things with C1 Pro.

1) Is it possible to have two "versions" of a photo (to use Aperture's language)? So, one is a version of a RAW file processed in color and the other one is a version of the same RAW file in B/W, but there still is only one copy of the original RAW.

2) Is there a channel mixer available for B/W conversions? All I can find for B/W at this point are the 3 "film looks" in the pull down widget.

Thanks in advance.

  Hi,
  
  Yes you can have 2, 3, 4... version of the same file.
  
  C1 lets you do that using STYLES and applying them to the RAW file.
  
  STYLES are created in the EXPOSURE TOOL.
  
  the 3 film looks that you are talking about are in fact STYLES.
  
  If you desaturate the RAW completely it becomes a BW picture, add or remove contrast and it becomes a BW picture with more or less contrast....
  
  In the same EXPOSURE TOOL there is a channel mixer. By default it's set to RGB and Levels adjustment but you can select the color channel and also change the curve.
  
  Once you like what you see on screen, you can save those settings as a STYLE and use it when ever you feel like it

  Thanks for the response. I'll take a look at those features.
