CO 7

[Krzysztof23]

Just received an email noifying about release of CO 7. $99 for upgrade is not bad. Anyone already upgraded? Any "quirks"? Issues?

I will later, but it appears that the server is down.

The server is up but is certainly strained at the moment. Check back occasionally as demand fluctuates.

Looks like a good update from the description.

No mention of 32bit though - is this going to force me to upgrade my hardware ... ? (At last )

I probably should anyway but it makes it a costly decision on 2 devices. The upgrade cost is hardly notable in that context!

Hmm. "Thanks" Drew - I think ...

To be honest I was expecting this and I had ready the spec sheet .... but I was kind of hoping that it might have inadvertently forgotten to mention 32bit ...

I might just be able to upgrade the notebook. Will have to do both as I try to keep all PDF/Flash/Whatever products off the dedicated desktop system.

Yea, sound interesting.

But, it did not came clear to me how much DAM featureas are included into CO7. I just wonder if I could live with CO7 withou Media Pro and do some management in CO7. DOes anybody know?

And now I know why Phase One has been so aggressive in their Capture One 6 pricing. I "just" bought C1 6 Pro on October 2 of this year. I'm guessing Phase One doesn't offer a similar upgrade policy to Apple?

Mark,

I’m still playing around with the DAM features / Catalog Mode. First impression is “Lightroom light” with certain nods to MediaPro (e.g. the bubbles to select standard filters). I probably should explain the Lightroom thing.

Basically, it makes it easy to tag keywords, and last imports / captures, Smart Collections etc. are reminiscent of how Lightroom works. Also, there’s an option to check catalog integrity, make catalog backups etc. Sensible stuff. It’s not the Lightroom bloat or usability (or lack thereof), rather the better bits of LR1.x rolled into CaptureOne. It’s not Lightroom and hopefully will never be, but it’s possible that for many this level of “DAM” functionality is enough.

I don’t think the Catalog will try to replace MediaPro. There’s too much missing, e.g. no controlled vocabulary, no XML thingies, and the only output options seem to be process recipes, print, and web contact sheet. Also, question is how spiffy it runs with some 10.000 images. I only tried with a couple of hundred and it worked well enough, but some of us have hundreds of thousands of images in need of a DAM.

Oh, and there’s still the “Create MediaPro catalog” option in the File Menu. So I guess we’re bound to getting a reboot of that one, too.

Cheers,

You should have a Free Upgrade in your Key if you purchased it that recently.

Hi Drew,

I too purchased Capture One Pro 6 recently (late September 2012) - am I supposed to have a Free Upgrade to Capture One Pro 7?

Thanks Drew. I purchased v6 on 18th September and received the license/activation key on the 19th September. Since this was only seven days before your 26th Sept free upgrade cutoff date, can I have v7 without paying the fee?
