Hi Tim (& Malcolm) I beg to differ. I did a fair bit of testing with both before purchasing Capture One DSLR as I discovered the output from C1 is far better. Most specifically C1 files have more shadow detail, smoother gradations from dark to black areas, much less chromatic noise (esp. in grey areas) and better overall colour fidelity. Try a side by side comparison, and particularly look at the individual channels (red most importantly) and you'll get a clearer idea of what's going on. Unfortunately the algorithms that Phase One have utilised for upsizing files are very disappointing. The way I see it I use Capture One to get the best possible "print" from my "digital negative" (raw file) in the same way as I used to seek out the best printers in ye olde analogue times!
