Capture One
As you know, Phase One has released Capture One 20.
I thought it might be helpful to share a few tutorial videos, not only about Capture One 20, but also about Capture One Pro 12, as many have either not yet upgraded, and because tips for C12 are useful also for C20.
Also, we share some C1 styles created by Michael Damböck.

But before that, let’s also talk about Topaz, because today Topaz announced their new Video Enhance AI which scales up your videos up to 8K. It’s available for Windows and will come to Mac soon. And there is a $100 discount. Topaz writes:
Until now, there was no way to perfectly recreate a high-resolution video from low-resolution footage. From old home movies to low-quality SD to DVD quality and more, Video Enhance AI will transform your videos into clean upscaled footage up to 8K resolution.
Roundup
Photons to Photos added the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to their database, and you can now compare it to all other cameras in their database.
I did compare it to the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T30, and the Fujifilm X-Pro3, despite having the same processor and sensor, shows a sensible advantage over the X-T3 and X-T30.
So has it better dynamic range?
Bill Claff explains:
The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.
It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.
Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).
You can access and manipulate the data here at Photons to Photos. Bill Claff’s comment has been added on dpreview.
