In my previous post on the subject of the color responses of Aperture, Lightroom and Capture, I mentioned that once I adjusted for exposure and contrast, the rendition that Capture One gave became very bright. The image that I was using was taken with a Nikon D80, and is not particularly badly exposed. Below is the rendering that Aperture gives completely unadjusted:

And now the image that Aperture 2 gives when the adjusted. The process that I followed was to adjust the exposure and contrast setting of each program to get the “White” and “Black” patches to exactly the correct values.
