    Hi LaMar,

    Maybe you could try to disable hardware acceleration (OpenCL).

    LaMar,

    Could be something in the control files (plists?)  has become out of kilter for some reason and is perpetuating a problem that should not be applied.

    If disabling Hardware acceleration as an experiment does not resolve the problem I would suggest that you use the "Submit a request" option at the top of the page and create a personal support case with the Capture One Support Team.

    Hi,

    While I am not sure what setting hardware acceleration falls under. I checked under system preferences and didn't find any such setting. I will submit a request.

    Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Preferences tool in the Edit drop down menu.

    The General Tab (Default on opening the tool).

    Half way down the screen - Hardware Acceleration. Change it from Auto to None. in both fields. Then check if it makes any difference.

    It may. It may not.

    If it does make a difference there re other things to investigate.

    Thiw comes up in the forum several times a week. Sometimes several times a day. There are also some FAQ articles that provide further information.

    The Community search is very powerful for finding a lot of useful references to almost any subject that comes up including specific tool and feature Help pages and the User Guide. Highly recommended as a speedy resource.

    In this case something like "Hardware Acceleration"  and "OpenCL" would likely produce a good selection of useful information.

    HTH.

    SFA,

    I made the changes you suggested and will see if the problem persists. As of now it hasn't reoccured.

    Didn't know this was a common issue. Will check the forum.

    Hi LaMar,

     

    The GPU drivers/OpenCL technical area seems to be a bit of a "Wild West" area plenty of variables around between the hardware, its drivers, the manufacturer implementations and the application software developers trying to stay current with all of it.

    To add to that Apple has their own unique development that they want to use in the future to replace OpenCL, or so it seems.

    With a Windows based machine one has the option to seek out alternative GPU card drivers, if they exist, that might eliminate the problem. In some cases a downgrade will be better than the latest greatest driver program available.

    As I understand things that option is not available to Mac users, the Mac Operating System and Apples control over their products preventing such activity. I can understand the idea behind that but personally I prefer having the option to to seek out possible solutions, should a problem arise, at my convenience rather than that of a supplier who may not be interested since they have a different agenda to pursue.

    How long such freedom of choice options will continue to be available remains to be seen.
