Here is a comparison of some skin tones, you decide.

I wanted to test for good balance for pleasing, accurate, and how well each program handles near blown out skin tones. I allow ONE simple adjustment for each program.







NX2 : Set to Neutral Picture control.

LR 3.3 : -32 exposure

Sure you could get similar look with any program, but with how much effort? Skin tones are important to some people, and for some one that wants the best with the least amount of effort a good program will do this. When I shoot an event, I want the best, fastest with the least effort. So I can spend time with my family.
In my opinion, Capture One 6 blows them all away.

  I think I like the CO6 conversion most as well.
  
  What is that 'portrait starting curve'?

  In the Base characteristics Curve setting.
  
  (I think it only applies to certain Nikon cameras)

  Thanks, I assumed the Nikon part as well (beyond my comprehension as a Canon shooter 😉 )
