5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Lightroom here comes Capture One, December 14, 2010

This review is from: Phase One Capture One Pro Win/Mac (CD-ROM)

I am not sure which version of Capture One the two reviewers are referring to. I find this product to be incredibly good. The "focus mask" feature is the killer app for me. Everything else is just bonus.

I wrote up a quickstart on what features that I find most useful in Capture One when compared with other tethered or base photo editing applications like Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.

I did not cover Nikon Capture NX2. I hope that you find this helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely unintuitive interface, useless documentation, December 6, 2009

By 

spinoza (North Shore, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phase One Capture One Pro Win/Mac (CD-ROM)

I do actually own this software for my Mac, and I can confirm that it's pretty awful and can only be recommended for those willing to spend the weeks learning its embarrassingly unintuitive interface. I've had mine for several weeks now, and I still haven't figured out how to save or export my RAW files to JPEG. This apparently is accomplished by a custom-made "process" (in itself difficult to find and configure), but nowhere does Phase One say how to execute a "process". The documentation is atrocious, and the online support virtually non-existent. I'm really not sure what you're getting for $400, since I have yet to get it do carry out the simplest of tasks.

I never thought I'd encounter photography software that would make Photoshop seem downright intuitive and easy to use, but here it is! The best thing I can say for this software is that Phase One does allow you to download a trial version to see for yourself how bad it is.

This review is from: Phase One Capture One Pro Win/Mac (CD-ROM)

The software description was not explicit as to which MAC platform it would work on. My Power PC MAC will not run the software so it was returned to Amazon.
