In vivid contrast to A1 raw files processing, Capture One 21 does not artificially create Black Dots in A9 raw files of yellow flowers illuminated by direct sunlight. That is reassuring. Furthermore, according to: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1712167/14#15691312

It seems to me, Capture One has acknowledged the problem and will finally get around to working on it.
The following is derived from an uncompressed raw file I shot with Sony ILCE-9 + 35mm F1.4 GM.
These following two jpg images were produced in this order with
• Capture One 21 alone and with
•first DxO_DeepPRIME demosaicing and then finished in Capture One 21
I am impressed how closely the two jpg images match each other.
Maybe DxO_DeepPRIME is a tad better at noise reduction compared to Capture One 21 by itself.
But there isn't a lot of noise in the first place as the raw file was shot at ISO 100.
Autumn is coming fast. Fishing in the mountains can still be good though, and I made a three day trek to Stor-Rosta on the Swedish border to try to catch the large trouts that now swim downstream from the lake to spawn, or the char that feed on the last insects of summer. The cloudberries are ripe too:
A photo that was simply a matter of serendipity; I happened to be talking to some fisherman on my side of the inlet when I noticed this group making their way back toward the beach from the jetty on the other side.
Photo taken late afternoon, about 101 minutes before sunset.
