Hi, I'm getting very different results when using white balance in C1 vs Lightroom using a color checker. The C1 image get's a yellow-orange cast on the background. Shouldn't they be similar?

  The C1 image get's a yellow-orange cast on the background.

  That's the Capture One "look" - their camera profiles routinely bias towards the yellow-orange.

  Shouldn't they be similar?

  In a word - no.

  They should be similar if both programs had a completely neutral color option. They don't and both apply different curves during rendering, hence the difference. Different starting point for post processing. You decide what you like best. As for me, I always got to the end-point faster with C1, but must admit I haven't tried Lr since 2017.

  Thank you all for your input. I will try it out with the linear profile.

  This is the very reason I gave up on Capture One.
