Differences between Mac and Windows
I am considering switch to Mac platform and would very much like to know how Capture One differs on the two platforms. I haven't been able to find any screenshots or anything.
Also, for those of you that made the switch - have you found that consistent color is maintained (I use the ETC profiles).
Thanks!

My best tip for you is to compair the user guides which you find here:

The Mac version is significantly slower. The 2.7 GHz dual processor G5 averaged 13.5 seconds per RAW file in a test I did and a 3.2 GHz sinlge processor Pentium 4 clocked in at an average of about 14 seconds. RAM wise the Mac had the advantage (4 gigs on the Mac vs. 2 gigs on the PC). There are interface differences as well, so good, some bad. Currently the Mac version has a few more bells and whistles than the PC version.
With the Mac version if you drag the saturation slider down all the way the image is totally black and white. With the PC version it's just desaturated (significantly but still color).
W/the Mac version you can't (to my knowledge) adjust the color temp with keyboard commands, on the PC you can (this is a biggy for me).
On the Canon 1DMkII and 20D the PC version has a HUGE glitch in the exposure compensation algorithm where reducing the exposure from -0.40 to -0.45 EC produces about a 2/3rds drop in exposure (I can't believe this still hasn't been fixed). The Mac version (although I'm still getting my sea legs with it) doesn't seem to have that problem (I would think that they'd use the same algorithm but apparently (and thankfully) that's not the case).
The PC version's EC has a granularity of 0.05 stops for EC, the Mac version is in 1/10th of a stop increments (although there could be some modifier key combination I'm missing, as I said I'm still getting my sea legs with the Mac version).
The Mac version allows you to have a preview window separate from the thumb and UI window which is fantastic if you're working in a multi-display environment. The PC version does not have this capability which is a bummer because this is a nice feature if you process thousands of RAW files per week.
Collections, etc.... IMO the Mac's UI is hideous for importing images, etc. Why there's such a HUGE difference is beyond me. The PC version is far superior in this department. You want to work on a set of images? Great, just navigate to the folder you want to work on and click on it. The Mac version by comparison leaves me scratching my head.
Why there's any differences at all in the UI actually is beyond me. The Mac and Win versions of Adobe Photoshop are virtually identical and when going between the two you don't really need to have specialized knowledge to know how to use either version. With C1, you most definitely do. I'd say two completely different UI development teams that don't talk to each other developed the UIs for each app, they are that different. There are good and bad things about each version.
Hope that helps a bit.

Actually... I'd like to correct myself. On the Mac version it seems as if there's significant (more than 1/10th of a stop) difference between -0.3 EC and -0.4 EC.
Cheers, Joe0
