Hello Steemians!
As you noticed i am a photographer! i do that at first because i love it
and secondly because i live from photography, it became my main and only job!
for a long time i had some issues in photography, this was one of that i didn't noticed
from the beginning and now im thinking of how much different my photos would look like
if i coyld find the solution earlier
Let's get to the problem.
As most of photographer is shoot in RAW, i use Nikon but it is the same with Canon users.
when you shoot it RAW your file might contain more data that the JPEG but when you try to edit the file,
the RAW file is flat. The JPEG is more contrasty, much sharper and more colorful.
The RAW files were like hazy and a bit blurred
I asked many photographer for a solution, everyone said something different with no result, some said
when you open the RAW file on Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom you have to change the camera calibration from
Adobe Standard to Camera Standard, this had 10% better image quality i can say...
I also used Nikons Capture Nx program...
but NO i wanted something better than the camera's JPEG file
i tried CC profiles, some other callibration minor adjustments, NO! NOTHING!
The result for me came up accidentaly.
sometimes when i color grade my photos i use Phase One's Capture ONE
(a couple of months i baught 2 proffesional BENQ monitors for my PC.. thank STEEMIT and all of you for that
now i can see 100% better than the ols LG monitor i had)
2 days ago i open the photos of a fashion campaign i 've shot on Capture one and i said to my self..
since i have proffesional monitors now, i could also open on the other one the same photo on Adobe Camera Raw (photoshop)
The difference was HUGE.. check the screenshots i took with your own eyes
the algorythm that Capture One uses to read the file brings you greater image quality
Sharper, better color quality, bigger color palette and tones
Personaly i stopped using Lightroom and ACR for my color editing, and the quality of my photos is on a whole new level now, I could say tha C One is not the easiest program i used to edit my photos nut the options are endless
