What they did with the Pentax z unsupported BS is also cringe worthy, nobody is asking them to support z, they purposely block it even though its the same sensor for fuji , hassy, phase one. If it was a small payment for existing users, it would be fine but C1 charges a whole new program price for minor upgrades.

As many mentioned below, every year the updrading just renders the “life-time” meaning less. The actual benefit of upgrading is questionable, but obviously it tries to force you to pay the “annual fee”, even you chose a “life time license”. Another good example is that as a subscriber, the upgrading is free! It tries to be better than Adobe, but anyone with a proper brain would realize that these is no difference. I am still using my lightroom 6 and adobe creative cs5.

All I have to do is convert to dng. If they added features that i really care about maybe I will upgrade, I am not a digital artist. I think i got capture 1 pro 12 on sale for half off still using it. All that money i saved all those years haha. It just seems like they’re not even trying anymore, and I’m not sure they even have software developers working on certain programs I guess, at least if you buy it outright, not only do you own a copy of the software, you are not forced into upgrading and can run the version you own for as long as you like and as long as you don’t need any newer features.

Subscriptions keep you paying money as if you would automatically upgrade to every new version and you loose the software the moment you stop paying. The C1 styles are the single worst thing I have ever wasted my money on. Cost a fortune, all are a pretty poor. Do what I do and make your own styles. It really isn’t that hard.

I would never purchase styles when I have bought the software that makes it possible for me to create my own. Most style packs come with maybe only one or two styles you would actually use anyway. Their styles are a complete waste of money for me. The fact they went down this road to try to improve revenue weakens the product because you can not use standard LUTs to colour grade. I don’t expect any company to sell software and update it perpetually for a one-time fee.

That’s not a recipe for survival. But I do expect upgrading to be optional, based on the benefits offered. No bang, no buck. Stitching and decent HDR would be something worth paying for.

The ability to open files from 5 new cameras I don’t own would not be worth anything, yet I pay Adobe every month, regardless. The lifetime licence means the software won’t time-out after a while. It doesn’t get you updates past the first year They hope users to upgrade, like every other software manufacturer. But you don’t have to, contrary to a subscription model. It’s easy to create your own styles, based on your own liking and taste.

I don’t pay a subscription fee as, like you say, I don’t want to pay for features I wont use. Also subscriptions only have two or three different versions of the software and after a while they drop the oldest version so you’d be forced to upgrade if you find a particular version you like.

I prefer the ‘one off’ cost, then I can upgrade to a newer version several years down the line, therefore saving money in the long run. We should be able to have a one off purchase on software and free camera compatibility upgrades. To me this would be the main reason to getting C1. They still have to spend time and effort supporting the R3, presumably they would have to charge you more for 21 in order to cover those costs Well it isn’t like they charge you extra money to support your new camera profile.

Instead they also charge you money to support ALL the other cameras included in an upgrade. So you are in essence paying for a support library far greater than your needs. It is one thing I liked about adobe. After all profile support should in fact not cost extra. At least not hundreds of euros. It is work they need to do anyways after all. I’m on v20 right now but an upgrade will end up running me as much as a full license when it goes on sale, so unless they don’t run as many sales in the future or also put the upgrades on sale they’ve really devalued their upgrade pricing.

Please stop parroting marketing BS. This is not a lifetime license. But five years down the line, when you are forced to purchase a newer version compatible with your OS and or current camera RAW files, think of the money you saved not having to pay the subscription fee for five years. In this way they will continue taking your money indefinitely. At the end of the day, there is no difference to Adobe model.

If you are on MacOS, then yes the program will only be good for max 5 years before an os upgrade will break it. But on windows, well i still use Photoshop CS2 and I can’t see any reason to upgrade it. And I still use Visual Basic 6 which is about 30 years old now and runs on windows If it’s any good, it’ll save me a round trip or two to other dedicated products. Just keep in mind that if you buy the manufacturer-specific version, all your RAW files from other manufacturers aren’t supported.

That used to be a really good deal. They usually do that about May each year if I remember correctly. And with the updates to Lightroom and the R5 profiles, I’m pretty sure I’m going to save money and go with Adobe now.

But I’ll keep CaptureOne around as long s it’s viable for those special color adjustments. To be honest that’s a pretty good deal, as you get to use C1 V21 now and then get another years use of C1 Seems ok to me, but I am on a subscription model for Nikon only.

The biggest thing that forces you to upgrade is camera support, since older versions don’t support new cameras. If you buy new camera bodies as they come out, you’ll probably need the latest version of Capture One. Even more reason not to upgrade your camera or software so often and make use of the perfectly good equipment you already have.

I’m generalising of course as everyone’s needs differ but I’d say for a lot of dedicated enthusiasts, this is probably true. I wish there was a subscription based version that lets you only edit maybe photos per months but costs only 10 bucks per month. I figure I’ll probably keep getting every other version I remember how much 5, images a year would have cost to develop and print in the days of film and your comment just seems out of touch and even a bit ludicrous.

SilvanBromide, umm, criticizing another poster of being “out of touch” and then relating to the costs of the film days at the same time In any case, I also think that 5k images isn’t actually that bad. I don’t have that many that I keep and still I find a software such as C1 very helpful. And that a few cents per image over the span of a year or two isn’t unreasonable compared to most of the alternatives digital OR film.

So you can pay for the next version now and get it later.. Yes I have the current C1 and have upgraded for some time, but its still, by a mile, the most expensive raw development software, with the worst noise reduction of them all – but of you want to just throw images into it and get results with a nice pop it isn’t bad Exactly my thought.

The next versione is just around the corner so this buy one and get one free scheme is quite a stretch. Perhaps this is a move away from enticing punters with discounts to buy sight unseen versions like last time.

I don’t think this offer is aimed at people like you who already have the current version, but it can be enticing for those who don’t already have C1 or are on an older version.

If you don’t know how to use NR properly, then you really shouldn’t comment. I agree with those who are feeling burned by the increased cost of upgrading with very limited return, but to say that C1 is inferior at NR or pretty much any other major image alteration element simply is not in tune with reality. The full license and subscription pricing isn’t an issue for those who want the best possible RAW processing – and have done the proper comparisons with the offerings that have so clearly fallen behind.

I personally think it is great software that allows me to edit images in a very efficient way thanks to, for instance, the configurable keyboard shortcuts. However, it does have its peculiarities. New Capture One Capture One Log in or register to post comments. Philipp Schmid M R – March 6, No subscription, better performance, layers, faster tethering, sharper files for Fuji cameras, more options to fine tune colors.

But the easiest way is to try it out. There is a Trial Version of C1. Richard Richard – March 6, Do yourself a favour and avoid their Styles like the plague. But Phase One also makes cheaper Sony and Fujifilm versions made specifically for these two camera brands, and it’s these that have had their prices chopped.

So if you are a Sony or a Fujifilm user and you’re looking for the best possible image quality from your camera’s raw files, this seems like an unmissable opportunity. It’s especially good news for Fujifilm owners since most raw processing software tends to struggle with the Fujifilm X-Trans sensor’s unique colour filter array raw specialist DxO doesn’t support X-Trans sensors at all.

Lightroom doesn’t do a bad job, but Capture One Pro leads the field here, especially now that Phase One has added in dedicated Fujifilm Film Simulation profiles to replicate the look of Classic Velvia, Provia, Acros and other film types from raw files. Capture works in a couple of different ways. There has also been a change in the spacing of tools and in the font size.

Beyond the usability improvements, the Capture One team has also evaluated every menu item in Capture One 12 and improved the organization and grouping of menu items, placing items with other items which perform similar tasks in a photography workflow.

Further, they have aligned the menu items on both Mac and Windows. Capture One 12 also features a redesigned keyboard shortcut manager, allowing custom assignment of over individually-assignable commands.

Regarding improvements to photo editing, there are three new masking tools available in Capture One Talk about Cupertino all you want, they ditched Aperture years ago. That should of given you a clue. My new D is giving me images that are closer to MF images than I have experienced before. I agree with your argument that it is a short-sighted move on their part, but I have no intention of cutting off my nose to spite my face. Thanks for joining the conversation, Clive!

And also for the kind words. Enjoy the D! What a camera…. What crap! Hi Jean Pierre, I assume that you purchased Capture more than a month before version 11 was released. Phase One were providing a free upgrade from V10 if you had purchased less than 30 days previously.

The problem here is where do you draw the line? In my opinion, the upgrade price is well worth the enhanced facilities of the upgraded software. Yeah, I think 30 days is fair. What I think might have annoyed me if I was in this situation, is simply the high cost. Capture One is quite pricey already, and what they are asking for an upgrade cost here is more than the total cost of some other RAW processors such as Luminar or On1 Raw.

I have both capture one pro, LR 6 and Luminar. As far as I can tell, Capture one pro has the best raw process engine. One caveat, is that their color profile is not as good as LR6.

I started with capture one pro 9, then upgraded to 10, after trying 11 for about 1 month, I decided to bite the bullet. I do agree that capture one got to stop upgrading one generation per year, instead, they should copy Luminar and Aurora, keep updating for free. As for Luminar and Aurora, though they have so fun presets, their raw engine is not very good, most of my problem is their high noise level. Also, their spot removal tool is crap. Now I rarely use Lightroom, the only time I use it is for pano stitching.

I agree that it is an extremely stupid decision from Phase One business perspective. However, if Phase One supported them they, would most likely have an e-mail address to these users that could be used for marketing.

More sold Capture One licenses would also make the product more interesting for people creating plugins, presets, and even hardware such as customized keyboards, tablets etc. To extend Capture One support to other medium format cameras would also increase the Phase One brand awareness. Excellent points about the plugins, presets and general growth of the community around the brand!! Fuji went around PhaseOne and used the exact same sensor model that is used in one of their cameras in the GFX50s.

While I can see some issues with their being no reason to exclude that coverage all of the sensors in question were made by Sony , Capture One is under no obligation to provide new layers of support to you over time. All they did was purchase the same sensor from Sony — nothing wrong with that. You seem to have missed the point of this article.

 
 

Capture One 12 released: Redesigned user interface, more powerful masking technology and much more

 

I’d missed the Sponsored tag when I started reading the article. Yup, I couldn’t agree more, Joel. I knew absolutely ZERO about Capture One, and after reading this article–I, feeling like an idiot later, clicked several times on the link, and again from Google, etc. Only after reading the comments was I educated to the fact it’s only Fuji and Sony, unless you want to start a trial for the Pro version, which I’m sure is the point.

What a let down. Welcome to Capture One World. This company would never produce a version for the Pentax cameras, since they were in competition with their much more expensive Phase One cameras. I too seem wedded to Photoshop, since I got my original low cost version years ago when I studied it at our local JC. I am told by several of my teachers and mentors that the RAW developer in Capture One is , perhaps, the best..

But I have had great difficulty in mastering the steep learning curve in learning it. And the tutorials haven’t been, for me, very helpful. So, if my Pentax ever dies, or I inherit unlikely I would consider switching to the bigger Fuji. If you are just starting out in photography, and haven’t spent too much time with other programs so you’re not fixed in how you process, it might be a good thing for Sony and Fuji owners to start with a simpler version of this, as offered to owners.

I’m probably just too old to learn many new tricks, like my dog, who is also old and was not ever interested in anything but treats, not tricks.

The headline for the article doesn’t make that clear nor do the links that were included. First, I started using C1Pro a few months ago and love it, although i wish there were more written tutorial.

To say the learning curve is steep is an understatement. The free version of C1 Express is only available for Sony and Fuji.

Yes you can create and customize new ones on your own, but for speed, these styles are glorious. Hey, Bob I have so many plugins, and workflows in and out of Lr, as well. I know Lightroom inside and out and have been using it since the day it was introduced.

With just about everyone saying the learning curve is so steep, well, I’m a bit mortified at the proposition of switching. Nevertheless, I feel a significant push in the middle of my back to do so. If it’s so darn good, why do they limit it to only Fuji and Sony?? Don’t they want to entice the far larger population of Nikon and Canon shooters too? Makes no sense. If so, does the slideshow automatically updates by adding the new photos as I shoot?

I read the whole article, and it wasn’t until the comments section that it was made apparent, by commenters, that the “free” versions are only for Sony and Fuji. I had been wondering what the difference was between the “free” version, and the brand-specific versions. I see other folks were confused as well. To Fstoppers Capture One makes a new release every year, so it should be no surprise when that happens, and you can always choose to wait a few years before upgrading.

Tbh the bottom line is that if you’re making a one-time payment for software, you should be happy with the software’s current set of features, as-is. Making a software purchase in the hope that it’ll get free updates that include the features you want is a good way to be disappointed. Anyone who has purchased early-access video games would know this. And I try my best not to get suckered into any kind of subscriptions.

It is just wrong to buy software on subscription as you loose access when the timer runs out. Yes, you summed it up pretty well there!

The only exception to this practice seems to be the Affinity suite of softwares that they keep on updating, year after year without asking for more money.

For quite a period of time and even today, somewhat the business model of paying a single time and then getting unlimited updates for the rest of your life was certainly an exception to the rule.

Usually you might expect feature updates for a brief period of time, followed by security updates or no updates at all. If the users aren’t putting more money into new versions of the software, the developers would have to either continuously grow the user base, or they would have to find some other revenue source. Anyway, the point is, if you buy a perpetual license for software and then you find that it’s not getting updated with new features, I don’t think anyone should be surprised or even disappointed by that outcome.

No matter what, “house always wins”. Great, I bought Capture One 21 not that long ago and I’m not eligible for the free upgrade. Doesn’t quite seem fair to be honest. To be honest, HDR merging and panorama stitching are features I can live without so I question whether the upgrade in December will be beneficial to me at all.

I love the interface. Created for Windows, with the Windows familiar menus and interface. No half-ars frustrating Apple interface conversion to Windows.

The more I tried C1 since version 11, now on 21, for Sony , the more I hated its interface. As for benefits and pricing policies, etc. If you’re only going to use it for a couple of months to try it out, choose monthly fee.

If you’re always updating everything to the latest version, get the yearly fee. If you’re not planning to upgrade until you upgrade your camera, and you do that every 3 or 4 years, get the perpetual licence. Just don’t get the perpetual licence expecting it to be updated, or the yearly and complain it wasn’t updated enough I agree. I bought C1 not that long ago and don’t qualify for the free upgrade, boo! As it is, C1 21 does more than I need it to, which is to add my own simple colour style to my images.

I doubt the newer version adds anything critical for me so could easily wait a good number of years before upgrading. I was always skipping one version before updating, but with current price policy of Phase One, that doesn’t seem possible anymore.

C1 has the worst licensing models. I bought it because of its perpetual promise which falls flat the moment you get a new camera but want to be using the same limited functions in the version you bought. What they did with the Pentax z unsupported BS is also cringe worthy, nobody is asking them to support z, they purposely block it even though its the same sensor for fuji , hassy, phase one.

If it was a small payment for existing users, it would be fine but C1 charges a whole new program price for minor upgrades. As many mentioned below, every year the updrading just renders the “life-time” meaning less. The actual benefit of upgrading is questionable, but obviously it tries to force you to pay the “annual fee”, even you chose a “life time license”. Another good example is that as a subscriber, the upgrading is free!

It tries to be better than Adobe, but anyone with a proper brain would realize that these is no difference. I am still using my lightroom 6 and adobe creative cs5. All I have to do is convert to dng. If they added features that i really care about maybe I will upgrade, I am not a digital artist.

I think i got capture 1 pro 12 on sale for half off still using it. All that money i saved all those years haha. It just seems like they’re not even trying anymore, and I’m not sure they even have software developers working on certain programs I guess, at least if you buy it outright, not only do you own a copy of the software, you are not forced into upgrading and can run the version you own for as long as you like and as long as you don’t need any newer features.

Most style packs come with maybe only one or two styles you would actually use anyway. Their styles are a complete waste of money for me. The fact they went down this road to try to improve revenue weakens the product because you can not use standard LUTs to colour grade.

I don’t expect any company to sell software and update it perpetually for a one-time fee. That’s not a recipe for survival.

But I do expect upgrading to be optional, based on the benefits offered. No bang, no buck. Stitching and decent HDR would be something worth paying for. The ability to open files from 5 new cameras I don’t own would not be worth anything, yet I pay Adobe every month, regardless. The lifetime licence means the software won’t time-out after a while. It doesn’t get you updates past the first year They hope users to upgrade, like every other software manufacturer.

But you don’t have to, contrary to a subscription model. It’s easy to create your own styles, based on your own liking and taste. I don’t pay a subscription fee as, like you say, I don’t want to pay for features I wont use.

Also subscriptions only have two or three different versions of the software and after a while they drop the oldest version so you’d be forced to upgrade if you find a particular version you like. I prefer the ‘one off’ cost, then I can upgrade to a newer version several years down the line, therefore saving money in the long run.

Instead they also charge you money to support ALL the other cameras included in an upgrade. So you are in essence paying for a support library far greater than your needs.

It is one thing I liked about adobe. After all profile support should in fact not cost extra. At least not hundreds of euros. It is work they need to do anyways after all. I’m on v20 right now but an upgrade will end up running me as much as a full license when it goes on sale, so unless they don’t run as many sales in the future or also put the upgrades on sale they’ve really devalued their upgrade pricing.

Do you need upgrades that much? I sure don’t. The brand specific versions used to be 2 seats. With C1 version 21 released last month those numbers dropped by 1. So full pro became 2 seats and brand specific pro became 1 seat.

This pricing change is only one month later. The juggling of the of seats is as annoying as anything else, I can look at a new version and figure out whether the upgrade is worth it or not pretty easily but the of seats seems to vary not just by version but by date of purchase for each version if you just happened to buy a ver.

Definitely some questionable business practices. All that being said, the software for me is way better than Lightroom. So for now I continue to use it.

View Comments Comments All FujiGirl Well that’s me finished with C1 now and I won’t be upgrading anymore. Bruce Ferjulian I think the higher cost can be attributed to the creepy high priced models used in the marketing photos.

But C1’s better for grading. Life is hard, eh. Class A I have to agree with morningoil. User I tried CaptureOne for Nikon D with mixed experience — well, my DxO Photolab 4 is just fast, stable and reliable — for videos I use Openshot — that’s a healthy mix of professional software and open source solution.. There have been two separate entities Phase One and Capture One for a while now. FujifilmXT3 laumi I know very well about Phase One backs and have owned several so get off your high horse.

Brentliris I’ll upgrade when the time is right. MikeRan Denoise prime integrated with a full featured raw developer may be enough for me to switch.

Capture One is now the whipping boy, and Lightroom is now being praised! Impulses Public opinion is fickle indeed, I still prefer the license model since I can for instance easily choose not to upgrade from v20 to v21 and just catch the next one, but the sub model was never my biggest objection against LR anyway. StephaneB C1 users disappointed with the latest “upgrade” that does not fix any problem with the library, which is frankly sub-par compared to LR.

It staggers me how poor C1’s library is. I at least will wait and see. Dave Oddie I agree about the strange way they offered the update to V I think doing that works once as in once bitten, twice shy. PostModernBloke When I had a photography business, processing software was a business expense – tax deductible. In addition, there are tons of freeware software on the market that are absolutely fantastic PortraitLover And the winner is Adobe Lightroom.

Class A Sometimes one is forced to upgrade in order to get a bug fixed. Class A Handsome90 As an example, if you want a correctly working keystone tool, you won’t get it with V StephaneB Another example is a library system that scans each and every raw file instead of querying its database when searching all pictures for a keyword.

C1 is still made to work primarily with sessions, meaning as a browser. HaroldC3 Yep, feel lucky to have purchased v20 perpetual. Dave Oddie I appreciate due to the simple reality of inflation prices rise.

Class A C1 is not “pro level” software. Class A brycesteiner I don’t think Photoshop’s “Undo” is not working correctly or that every image touched up with a healing brush cannot be properly exported. Class A brycesteiner I’m not frustrated. C1 does not crash on my machine either. Class A I used to recommend C1 to others but no longer do so. Adrenochrom I had bought the version 20 for Nikon and now I should pay almost the complete amount again.

NarrBL Philip, they will. In fact, you get three concurrent activations as before. Adrenochrom Ok, I own the Nikon version of CapturOne20, until last week I was shown on their website that CaptureOne21 Nikon can only be installed on one computer instead of two, this week it’s back to 2 seats. Adrenochrom [NArrBL: I suspect Adrenochrom has been fooled by the fact that you have to go into the website and clear no longer used activations to get back your full set.

NarrBL Adrenochrom, you’re right, I learned later. Maybe the comments here can help them on approach. Toni Salmonelli I currently run C1 Ver. They are struggling with both usability design and quality control. Nilangsu Point completely understood. They are very nice. Regards Nilangsu. C1 used to be much better in terms of colour editing, but LR has been catching up lately.

David Cartagena In some ways it’s better in some ways it’s not. I have and use both but mostly use LR. That said, I can almost bring both to the same level after 15 minutes of wrestling with LR.

I already have two installations with C1 12 under one licence if that is what was meant. James Grove A second seat essentially means you can, as per the license, install and use the software on 2 separate computers.

Unlike a hand-drawn mask, Luma Range adjustments can be applied from one image to another, and the effect will be based on the luminance of each image. This functionality is a huge time- saver as it eliminates the need to create precision masks for each frame in a shoot.

Using the same Parametric Masking Engine as the Linear Gradient mask tool, radial masks can be adjusted, rotated and moved after creation for extreme control over desired effects.
