Phase One Capture One Pro 5!!!

Phase One Capture One Pro 5!!!

Today Phase One released there brand new Capture One 5 Pro! Capture One is one of the best raw editors in the business, i rememeber when Phase One offered a glimpse of what the future holds for RAW editors when they had release Capture One 4. The interface of 4 looked miles ahead of 3, but sadly it was never a pro version! Phase One had to address this and they released 4 years later and now 5! Here are some of the new features:

Live Preview Enhanced

Speed up image composition, lighting, and focusing with Live Preview. Makes it possible for the photographer, art director, client, and others to easily view an image on a computer screen at the same time, in real-time. Especially useful with technical cameras. Live Preview is now available for both Mac and Windows and comes with improved performance.
Focus Mask New

Accelerate your image selection by using the Focus Mask for fast verification of image sharpness and focus. The Focus Mask is applied both to the image(s) in the viewer and to the thumbnails in the image browser. The Focus Mask is perfectly suited for portrait, wedding and fashion shoots.
Focus Tool New

Get an instant, true view of image sharpness with the Focus tool. Use it as part of your fixed tool tab or drag it out as a floating tool.
Workflow Accelerators Enhanced

Handle large volume shoots even faster with new and enhanced workflow accelerators. New functionality includes improved session handling and an improved importer, which makes import more simple and intuitive as well as an improved progress indication, which provides a quick visual overview of application tasks.

Canon 7D Double Trouble???

Canon 7D Double Trouble???

The word on the street that there is problem with Canon’s 7D where it will show during burst mode it will show the preceding frame. I have not seen this myself when shooting with the 7D, but i have not done alot of shooting with this camera.

Phenomenon
In images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible. This phenomenon is not noticeable in an image with optimal exposure. The phenomenon may become more noticeable if a retouching process such as level compensation is applied to emphasize the image.
