Longtime LR user but lately I have been quite impressed with the look coming out of Capture One Pro. RAWS pics with people just start (a little) better on C1pro – and a bigger improvement for GH pics – the tones are a slight bit warmer, the gradients smoother hd it feels like I can push more and still retain a usable image. I still much prefer the LR toolset and workflow and will be looking forward to LR6 but hope IQ improves along with features.
Nice to see a real box. 😉
But you don’t get the box, of course you can download the box and print it and then box it 😉
We can start having youtube videos about “boxing” instead “unboxing”.
Capture One Pro 8 is still better.
Really good statement. I’m wondering how you can compare with a product that is not released yet!
By end results, but the usage is causing feeling going back to 90’s where each adjustment toke seconds and results toke even longer.
That is the thing that I can’t stand with Capture One Pro as its just so slow that making small adjustment is frustrating.
My results are instantaneous. CO 8.2 with 4 year old quad core and 16 GB memory. You have other issues and Capture One isn’t one of them. Reading your reply again, I doubt you even have version 8.
Yes, installed trial to three different computers. Two running 8-core with 32GB RAM (Win 8.1) and one with 4-core and 8GB RAM. Slow slow slow in all on those (Windows and OS X).
I drop fresh install from backups every few months on Windows to keep it fast, NO PROBLEMS anykind with anything else because that.
I hope I won’t be forced to upgrade to handle EM5 MkII RAW files…
Your never forced to use a new LR version. You can use the actual free adobe raw processor to generate the dng-files for older LR versions too.
Sure, you would have to. And that is no problem. About every 2.5 years one needs to upgrade for new camera support. That is how development is funded.
Well, not a problem for you maybe, but it is a problem for me as I only shelled out for the LR5 upgrade 2 weeks ago! 🙁
No public beta period, this time? That would be quite unusual…
Is that a 4/3 camera?

The german blog nachbelichtet.com has published the same information last week, referring to the same french site fnac.com. The same day they said the date as well as the information on release scope was wrong, and that there is no reliable statement on LR6.
