Noise cancelling, Sharpening, History, GPS

Rainer Zuhlke

Capture One urgently needs development for two tools: Noise cancelling and Sharpening. Both have not seen any significant development for years and are trailing the competition by a very considerable margin. DxO Deep Prime, Topaz DeNoise AI/Sharpen AI/Photo AI and Imagenomics Noiseware produce far better results.

Two additional tools are also required: History and GPS. Following a procedure of successive Undo/Redo is cumbersome and essentially blind. GPS data need to be displayed in a map tool within Capture One with some basic processing options (not just as a link to Google Maps). There must be plenty of other users that are not wedding or studio photographers.

Capture One has lost quite some competitive edge over the last 3 years. Version 23 has been somewhat underwhelming. If Capture One does not see very considerable development in 2023 and 2024, the competition will catch up and overtake.

PS: Capture One user since 2017, switched from Adobe LR at the time. Now running Capture one in parallel with DxO, Topaz and Noiseware. Using Capture One for professional (geosciences, high-resolution UAV) and personal photography (landscape, initial steps in VR processing). Approx: 25-40k shots per year.

    This has been highlighted many times to CO. Hopefully in 2023 they will start listening to user requests...

    I use Capture One in conjunction with DxO for noise reduction and framing

    Capture One does listen. The fact is that most users do not report issues with NR and sharpening, so it's simply not the issue you make it out to be.

    Image the reason is that too many have started using DxO and Topaz in addition to C1 ? Maybe not a trend that would appear too promising from C1's perspective ?

    Thanks for your remarkably kind response, anyway.

    Keith R - CO always suggests submitting a feature request. Unfortunately no acknowledgments from CO on any of the feature requests. Recently, one of the CO managers said that they don't have enough resources to monitor requests every day.

    I agree 100% with Rainer Zuhlke.
