It allows you to play with the file without performance concerns even in my P3-733MHz, since it deals with a sort of a proxy file to show the image real time, like Sound Forge and other audio apps deal with audio files. Very smart. What I found to be a big advantage for RAW files is to get sharper images. I was always using JPG format, full resolution. Than, if I wanted to make a wallpaper, that's 1024 x 768 pixels for my current configuration, I had to downsize a lot the file and then apply USM. But I found that if I use the RAW format with Capture One, I can already crop and resize the RAW file, with sharpening applied directly to the RAW file. I get pictures much sharper this way. The drawback is that all further adjustments in the file in Photoshop will have to be applied to the already sharpened file, and this is not recommended. Anyway, for a wallpaper, it doesn't seem to make a difference and I do get very sharp images. I have to learn how to use curves. If I can master this, the picture can get out of Capture One almost ready. Little Photoshop would be required. Loading...
