Title: Capture One 20?
Post by: SrMi on October 28, 2019, 05:49:35 am
Capture One 20 has been kind of announced (as a free upgrade if purchasing C1 now).
Does anyone know what will be added to C1 20 and when it will be available?

Will we have to pay for the upgrades to 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 ??

My biggest question is around MacOS Catalina compatibility.

v20 will be the next version after v12, unless of course P1 will change the mind about the naming

My wild guess is that they were reluctant to name it version 13 due to the fact that many people have a superstition about it. Since next year is 2020, version 20 sounded good.

Hi Jeremy,

Even if some websites posted about the new features on CO V20, it still remains a severe breach of the NDA. I would re-consider accepting posts about new features of V20 as long as it is not officialy released by Phase One.  ;)

Remko

Worth noting anyone upgrading right now will get the free upgrade to Co 20.
The link above gives a promo code of "OCT-AF-QUW" which gets you a further 10% off. Thanks to SrMi for the link :-)

Nice to get a discount on the upgrade and have it available easily.

Adobe could learn some lessons in keeping customers from Phase One.

If you have C1Pro V12 then you can get V20 for 20% off and there are coupon codes for a further 10%, making it around a 28% reduction. Offer lasts till Oct 31st.

Y'know, it really bugs me that I own a Phase One back, and I own a Sony camera, but because I want to use the software with my Nikon cameras as well, I have to pay 25% more for a Capture One upgrade than a Sony or Fuji camera owner.

I would say that Phase-one back owners have spend enough to receive a lifetime free C1 at least till v100 ( comes probably after v20)
Phase is punishing you for buying a Nikon...

Well, if I only used it for my Phase back, it would be free, so there’s that. But the fact that it costs me more to use it with my Nikon than if my FF choice were Sony Still irks me.

Same with me, although the pre-order Promo discount of 20% + an additional 10% is helpful. I might (reluctantly) fall for the temptation.

But it's still quite a bit of money for features (that I briefly saw mentioned) that are more of a cosmetic kind of improvement (not unimportant, but not crucial either).
Only 2 features that were (briefly) mentioned, HDR and Noise reduction, could be really new additions that triggered my attention, assuming they are more than an incremental tweak.

Cheers,
Bart

I guess that, unlike Sony and Fuji,  Nikon don't feel the need to do a deal with Phase One. They are presumbly already paying a licence fee to DXO for the control point technology in the Nikon processing software.

I'm sure that's the case. And I'll buy the upgrade. But I still think that owning a Phase One back outght to, at a minimum, get me the full pro version of the software for the price of the sweetheart deals.

Actually, given the price of Phase One backs,  I can't really see why they don't just come with a full pro version of c1.

I did the same and received an e-mail from them with the proper link.

You might want to do that today as you then can still get a extra 10% off. I used this promo code: OCT-AF-5OE. The one listed in this thread here on LuLa was not recognized anymore. Do not know why.

I ran into an issue yesterday when providing my credit card details. Fast Spring, the intermediair taking care of the payment, refused my card. I contacted my bank today and they informed me all was fine with my card and that it happened more often that Fast Spring refuses a payment when they think the selling company is suspect.

My bank contacted Fast Spring for me and all was cleared. After half an hour I could place my order. Fast Spring did not want to inform my bank what the reason for the refusal of my card was, but it had nothing to do with me or my card.

I informed PO about this.

Hi Remko

Many thanks for the heads up and working code. Contacted P1 and I too was given the correct link and have just placed my pre-order.

It’s all a bit strange pre-ordering like this - are P1 in need if the money to finish the coding?  ;)  ;D

But like many long term users, I fell for it and just hope there are a few more features coming over those in the latest Beta.
Title: Re: Capture One 20?
Post by: Martin Kristiansen on October 31, 2019, 11:41:21 pm
It’s nice that they offer a discount for a preorder but it would make a little more sense if they said what features you could expect for your money. Not much point getting a 20% discount for something you don’t care for and as it stands how would you know?
Title: Re: Capture One 20?
Post by: Rhossydd on November 01, 2019, 02:52:52 am
It's certainly a new policy.
Great for those of us that used to skip the annual upgrade and wait a year to get a two version skip for the price of one, an option that changed last year. This year will be a three version jump for the price of two for me, but without having to gamble on when to buy the upgrade.

However even at three steps up it's not looking the most compelling upgrade from the leaks so far.

I agree. However, the lack of info on what new features are being purchased suggests that there are not many. Hence the compensation with a 20% discount for those who take a leap of (long term) faith.

The features added at version 12 were well worth the upgrade over earlier versions so if you’ve not upgraded say since version 10, you’ll be getting a much better piece of software and no leap of faith needed. :)

How is v20 not a v12.5 or v13 with a new name?

C1 Pro is by far my preferred raw converter, but I don’t see any reason to upgrade without a clear list of improved features.

As I see it, it is.

As I said earlier, there do not seem to be many groundbreaking new features. However, for those who skipped versions, even the V12 upgrade would have justified upgrading, so V20 will be even (a bit) better.

I agree with that - it's a strange "offer" to make - to buy an upgrade "blind".  Of course a beta tester is not blind, but surely there aren't so many that they are worth targeting in a discount programme?

Well it is, but don't get hung up on pedantic numbering. Just accept that some folk find 13 an unlucky number and choose to avoid it. Petty ? probably, but it really doesn't matter at all.

If you've bought previous upgrades take the discount and trust/expect a similar upgrade experience to past ones.  In this case the rumoured HDR support might be considered a 'must have' addition and worth the upgrade alone.

It's rare that the mature programs like CO, PS, LR etc have ground breaking upgrades now, just minor enhancements and support for new cameras and OS changes.

Yes, HDR was briefly mentioned, and caught my eye. Don't know if it's HDRI (merging multiple exposures to improve SNR and postprocessing robustness) or 'just' Tonemapping. We'll find out before long.

I agree with you here. My rationale for upgrading is tht all the incremental upgrades are included for the year. It kind of works like the Adobe subscription, but it's less expensive, and it doesn't dissappear if I want to stop paying.

Hi,
 Without any awareness of an imminent upgrade, I just installed a v12 demo.

 With all the talk of v20 discounts etc. I am wondering what the most cost effective way to start as a new Capture One user is.

 Thank you.
Title: Re: Capture One 20?
Post by: UnfamiliarLight on November 04, 2019, 10:58:38 am
As a new user, getting v12 now with the discount is probably the best way to get in. Once V20 is released new users will likely be back to full price.
I think :-) I have no special knowledge of what Phase One might do - the above is just based on their past release activity.
In the past customers who purchased the current version about a month before a new release got upgraded at no extra charge. This lead to some frustration because no one knew when the new release would be and therefore did not know if they would qualify for the free upgrade. This new offer seems to be designed to address that - there is now clarity for those that purchase v12 as to who will get the free upgrade to v20 when it comes out.
I do not think that this has any bearing on current v12 (or earlier) users - I see no reason why there will not be an upgrade price offered to us when that happens as has been done in the past.
Again no special knowledge just guessing what they are up to.

The initial purchase price is quite an investment but upgrades are more manageable. There is usually a 10% coupon rebate available from "C1 Ambassadors". Don't know if that will happen this time around, but do search for 'Coupons'.

Negative sharpness and multiple image merging HDR are the killer features seriously missing from C1 and no idea why it is taking Phase One so long to implement considering LR has had these options for a good few years.

I just know if Phase implemented these features they’d do an amazing job. Was really hoping this would be the year - will have to see.....

It looks like (most/all?) Coupon codes that I knew of for the current version of Capture One have expired by now.
AFAIK, the pre-release discount was only valid until October 31st.

Maybe new coupons will appear at the time of the official release of version 20?
Release will probably be some time towards the end of this month, looking at the release dates of earlier versions.

If anybody comes across new discounts, it would be appreciated if that info is shared here.

Cheers,
Bart
