Light Falloff default setting

Comments

    You can set default and use a preset, stack of presets or a style when importing into a session.

    As I understand things if you are using a Manufacturer Profile you get what the Camera/Lens manufacturer provides. They may or may not have done something with Light Falloff on a variable basis dependent on lens settings. This is basically the "Out of Camera jpg" setting. 

    If they have not corrected Light Falloff, then you can make your own settings to correct their error. If you always want to apply a default Falloff correction just set the value you prefer to start from other than nothing and save a preset, enable Stack Presets if desired and deploy the preset(s) as a default during import.

     

    If there is a Capture One Profile C1 will have tested the lens (maybe multiple samples) and come up with some adjustments that might well already include Light Falloff and edge sharpness corrections based on variable lens settings. If you prefer other settings repeat (or re-use) the Preset method described above.

    If the lens has no pre-prepared profile (One of the Generic options) you can assume that Falloff will be unadjusted and make your own call about whether or not to deploy the preset.

    Hi,

    How do I automatically apply a preset when using sessions and browsing to already existing files on my hard drive?

    And even if I apply it on every image by selecting them and copying settings or whatever, this still means I get the icon that says the picture has adjustments, on every single image. I still want to be able to see if I've done any adjustments to a picture or not.

    What I'm arguing is that 100 should be the default and if anyone wants 0 or another setting, they should be the ones doing the adjustments. Or just a setting to choose how it should behave. It should be opt-out instead of opt-in, or a global setting.

    It's like if the default was no sharpening or noise reduction, or a white balance set to 5000k and if you want "as shot" you have to make a preset and apply to every image.

    I don't see the point in having lens profiles if they're not applied.

    If you are importing images you can apply the Preset as part of the process.

    If you are simply opening a folder full of images then you would need to the select and apply process.

    I have never been very convinced about the best use of the "edited" icon. If I have "touched" an image I tend to apply a rating to it. I'll leave you to debate that sort of point with salaried Capture One staff.

    Likewise, the discussion about defaults for untested lenses used to overrule what the manufacturers think should be adjusted and how one might realistically decide what is "100%" for light Falloff when different settings are used for a lens - especially a zoom lens.

    Use this link to create a Support Case if you wish for some conversation with C1 about your proposal.

    Thanks, I thought I was doing something wrong while having this same issue.

    Regarding : " If there is a Capture One Profile C1 will have tested the lens... that might well already include Light Falloff"  , C1 has a profile for the Fujifilm XF18-55 (very common lens), but the auto adjust does not include light fall off and as such all my raws have heavy vignetting.

    It would be good if auto adjust could have the light fall off at a chosen amount (100).
