🚀 Shout-Out to Capture One! 🎉

A huge thank you to Capture One for delivering rock-solid performance on a massive project! At Bear Images Photographic, Inc., we recently processed over 1.2 million RAW files shot on the Phase One IQ4 150MP—the world’s leading 16-bit, 150-megapixel digital back.

Using a standard configuration of equipment that we sell and support—including Apple Mac Studio, Promise Pegasus RAIDs, and Eizo Displays—we applied custom workflows, color grading, cropping, and output TIFs with incredible precision. Each Capture One Session handled ~14,000 images, grouped for consistency and customized styles.

💡 The most impressive part? Not a single crash, restart, or software issue over several weeks of continuous processing! Flawless stability and performance—truly amazing results. 👏

At Bear Images Photographic, Inc., we provide Capture One, Phase One digital backs, Apple systems, Eizo displays, Promise RAIDs, and much more—everything you need for a seamless, high-performance workflow.

📸 If you're serious about high-end image processing, we have the solutions to help you achieve outstanding results!
