You'd have to REALLY REALLY want and love the look you get from that tool to take the workflow hit. While you may be able to get a slightly better debayer, it's such a magnitude of difference to sheer workflow practicality. I've never seen the advantage of ACR or C1. The total speed which which it can process files. Motion tracking that easily allows you to animate windows (layers).

You can animate grades and very easily add nodes / Layers. GregoryResolve.Nothing beats the tool set when it comes to grading MOTION. I know davinci has way more options to use, but only for grading and color correction what would you take? On newer computers, haven't tried on my rMBP yet.Lets say I'v got a batch of CinemaDNG folders, how to I make them into DNxHD in Phase one? On newer computers, haven't tried on my rMBP yet. I have been only able to import one image at a time to Phase One without crashing my late 2009 iMac. Apparently it runs some GPU code that is buggy on this and boom. The Phase One crashes on my iMac every time on big import. I only had a demo version of Lightroom and it already expired so I am not using it anymore. However, I potentially lose some detail as well. I like the libraw debayer over Resolve because I get significantly less aliasing with the libraw debayer. Fourth is anything else, including Resolve. Third is libraw with the following settings: /usr/bin/dcraw_emu -4 -T -H 1 -g 2.7 0 -m 19 -n 0 -o 0 -b 1.5 image.dng Less than Resolve probably and much easier to adjust the colors to my liking. There is some aliasing on the result though. Second best has been Adobe Camera Raw in Lightroom. Best results I have got with Phase One debayer, best detail, best colors, most versatile controls to make the images look really HDR. I have compared the debayer methods for quite some time now:
