Reflections in the San Juan National Forest, Colorado, and Capture One Full Support For Canon EOS 1D X

I visited Priest Lake in the San Juan National Forest for the first time yesterday. I was intrigued by the reflections and the pond scum. I used a polarizer to maximize the reflection, hence the blue tint to the pond scum.

Capture One

Phase One released Capture One (C1) v6.4.4 recently and it has full support for the Canon EOS 1D X. I converted the recent test images I made with the 1D Mk IV and 1D X through it and compared them with the files from Capture One v6.4.3 that only had preliminary 1D X support and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) v7.1.0.354. The 1D X image processed with C1 v6.4.4 doesn't have the Velvia look produced with C1 v6.4.3, but it's still a bit different than the 1D Mk IV image processed with C1 v6.4.4. Surprisingly, there's a slight difference between the 1D MK IV image processed with C1 v6.4.3 and 6.4.4.
