Capture One

[wintoid]

Anyone know whether Capture One will support the Epson RD1s?

 

[pfogle]

yep it does.

 

[wintoid]

Oh it does already? I checked their website and only found the RD1 but no RD1s. So their website is out of date?

 

[pfogle]

Ok, I may have jumped the gun here... it definitely works with an R-D1 with the firmware upgrade, but some people have suggested there may be a difference between that setup and a 'native' R-D1s.

Maybe someone else here can confirm whether there is in fact a difference?

 

[wintoid]

Hmm complicated. Thanks for your input though, perhaps I should consider the RD1 instead.

Something to consider:

People have reported that an R-D1s identifies itself as such in EXIF data associated with the image whereas a firmware updated R-D1 does not. It's still an R-D1. So maybe there could be a problem with the R-D1s and C1.

My R-D1 with the updated firmware works with C1.

Bob.

Thanks Bob. Sounds like C1 has a small user base these days. I've been a C1 owner for years and absolutely love it. To end up with an RD1s and be unable to use it with C1 would be upsetting.

If anyone would be prepared to send me a RAW file from an RD1s, please PM me. I would be much obliged.

C1 works with files from the R-D1 with the "S" firmware so I suspect it will work with files from a bona fide R-D1S. I've been using it extensively for work with the former.

Cheers,

Sean

Rats. I got my RD1s and as discussed it seems to identify itself to Flickr as an RD1. Unfortunately, Capture One CANNOT read the files. I've sent them a raw file from the camera but past experience has shown that even highly anticipated cameras like the Canon 20D can take Phase One months and months to sort out.

What a pity. Rawshooter works fine, but for how long...

Correction: JPG files made with Rawshooter identify themselves as RD1. JPG files made with the Epson software identify themselves as RD1s

All may not be lost with C1. I remember when Canon updated one of their cameras I managed to hack C1 to work until they came up with a new release. It involved using a hex editor to replace a character string amongst the list of supported cameras in the executable code. If you're interested in trying this, I'll see if I can search out the details.

There's no risk since you use a copy of the C1 exe file to make the modifications to. Modifying the code is probably ouside the terms of the license agreement though.

Bob.

Yeah I did that too actually Bob, but it doesn't seem to work with the new Capture One.

I just wrote a little C# program which scans through my directory of .ERF files, and changes the identity from R-D1s to R-D1<null> and now it seems I can edit my files with Capture One! I knew being a programmer was good for something.

Urgh!! 🙂 What was wrong with a plain C, or C++ program.. ok, maybe now's not the time or the place.. good stuff though, although my R-D1 upgraded firmware is fine anyways, nice to know its down to a strcmp somewhere.
