That is what has me fence sitting. For most of my purposes, C1 works reasonably well. I've considered going back to LR, but really don't want to. What's annoying is paying $200 a year and essentially getting nothing in return. As it stands, my subscription fee is subsidizing the development of some cool tools for a type of photography I don't do. In retrospect I probably should have opted for the perpetual license model. There is always the option of buying the perpetual at a small discount, which I am also considering. Thanks for the comment.
I feel like you exactly. I also don’t like the way they charge me for my renewal, since I am Canadian. Three years later I am still paying more than the price on their web. I asked for explanation and they don’t reply to my question. My renewal date is the end of June and I am going to cancel it. I have Adobe CC, it cost me a lot less than C1 and I get much more.
You are 100% correct. I contacted them and mentioned their new features vs the latest Adobe, ie are you guys making the same SW improvements.
Thanks. They know their market and it’s not us.
I am going to do like you. When the time of renewal comes, I will end my subscription and get the perpetual licence. I only use C1 pro for my medium format Mamiya which I hardly use it now. Capture One, I believe it is the only software that can work with Moss Raw ( Mamiya and Phase One Raw). Otherwise you have to convert the moss raw in DNG to open it in Lightroom and Photoshop. For other Raw, like for my Nikon cameras, I am still using Lightroom because I am used to it.
It does make sense that they would want to differentiate their offering from Adobe’s and their direction does the trick. On the bright side the improvements may help us indirectly and sometimes directly for wildlife. I get the sense that they will be focused on machine learning algorithms rather that generative ones so I don’t think they will have improved noise and sharpening, though. But if they do end up using those in some way that would be a big boost.
Thanks- like camera bags, there is no perfect SW for photos. The latest AI replacement feature of power lines, and most especially people was highly attractive to me. The people really. I have some good tourist shots I'd like to hang, but there are too many people at some of these sites for me to spend time on them.Good luck.
