Thank you, thank you so much, to have explained in a wonderfull way , the input and the output of the levels, and the curves. how and why it works so ! . Really the first time i understand it . wonderful clear explainations, thank you so much. a french lover of capture1 , who had understood for four years now that c1 was better than lightroom.

Re PhotoShop. Try Affinity Photo. You can currently buy it for the equivalent of AUD40, and for me at least (who isn't all that skilled in PS anyway) it covers the very, very occasional problem C1 can't handle. Oh - and that was a hare. :-)

48:40, of course your method presented works pretty fine, but did you ever try the Haze Removal of Affinity Photo? It is far enhanced in comparison to the Lightroom one and you have a lot of control to tweak it. Affinity Photo has also some more pleasing surprises. But unfortunately the .afphoto format is yet not supported by C1. Of course you may use .tif, but .tif is limited to max file size of 4 GB, and that is easily exceeded if you work on e.g. a Gigapixel panorama. And pls believe me, the format comes with some awesome advantages. The compression algorithm is excellent and fast, very fast. Even if you work on a e.g. 8 or 10 GB huge file and brush some changes into an adjustment layer, it saves only the differences (of course well compressed) and if you click “Save” it’s done in an instant. The bad opposite is Photoshop, if you have to deal with a .psb at that size and you change only some Exif information, Photoshop does a full save from the scratch and having compression activated (if not, you must deal with 50 to 100 GB large .psb files) you may do some other stuff like going for a walk for an hour or so. Btw: .psb is also not supported by C1. But please add .afphoto first 🙏😇

Hi Paul Greate session !!. I have seen that, sometimes, the pattern the healing brush takes to clone, stays out of the photo when it takes it very close to the borders. You can't move it anywhere else since you can't see it. Is this a bug? Regards
