Thinking of the time to generate previews upon import yes

Hi all Just wondering what would improve preview generation times in Capture One, CPU, GPU or ram or all of the above?? Thanks in advance

So sad, very sorry for your loss.

So had a crack at some table top macro, cliché I know, but I'm quite happy with the first session..... PInk Dandelion_1 by Darrin Roberts, on Flickr XT3 and 80mm....

Thanks for all the input, been a bit busy at work...

Unfortunately this was posted from my phone, the camera settings are ok, f14, 200th, iso 160 (iso 100 in my Canon days) has worked well for me in the past, it's just the diffusion that needs sorting really, my old pringles diffuser used to do a good job. Have had a flickr account for some years.....

Starting to get to grips with the 80mm, need to sort the specular highlights that the home made diffuser is creating though....

16-80 or 16-55??????? So I've nearly built my armoury up, currently have the 10-24, 18-55 kit, 80mm macro, 100-400 and the 55-200 (up for sale)... Thinking of losing the kit lens as well as the 55-200 which I no longer need. Not sure which way to go though, 16-80..or 55.... for general walk...

Hello good people.... I'm trying to understand why I have such a colour shift in the orange bouy on the side of this boat image. It's been bugging me for some time, and have had a poor attempt to correct the colour without success. Do you think I it matters and detracts from the image? Thanks

Thank you

Yep, understand that and its not normally an issue. Had one particular shot where it was impossible to get the space above a boat on a river. Not sure if it can be done in C1

Ok so I'm now whiz at post, I know I need to get on board and get to grips with it a bit more. I've just got c1 fuji, been kind of using lightroom up to now for really basic adjustments, not really used photoshop either, apart from one image where I wanted to add more background above the...

It's not just the macro side, it's the 10-24, 18-54 equivalent, 55-200,, would want the R2, grip etc.....

I'm on the brink of buying the 80mm, just tried the Canon 100mm on a Fringer and didn't get on with it too well, just seemed a bit clunky and the working distance felt too long really. The 90 on the Sony was a dream, as was the 85 GM, but the big money days have gone....
