This company would never produce a version for the Pentax cameras, since they were in competition with their much more expensive Phase One cameras. I too seem wedded to Photoshop, since I got my original low cost version years ago when I studied it at our local JC.

I am told by several of my teachers and mentors that the RAW developer in Capture One is , perhaps, the best.. But I have had great difficulty in mastering the steep learning curve in learning it.

And the tutorials haven't been, for me, very helpful. So, if my Pentax ever dies, or I inherit unlikely I would consider switching to the bigger Fuji. If you are just starting out in photography, and haven't spent too much time with other programs so you're not fixed in how you process, it might be a good thing for Sony and Fuji owners to start with a simpler version of this, as offered to owners.

I'm probably just too old to learn many new tricks, like my dog, who is also old and was not ever interested in anything but treats, not tricks. The headline for the article doesn't make that clear nor do the links that were included. First, I started using C1Pro a few months ago and love it, although i wish there were more written tutorial.

To say the learning curve is steep is an understatement. The free version of C1 Express is only available for Sony and Fuji. Yes you can create and customize new ones on your own, but for speed, these styles are glorious. Hey, Bob I have so many plugins, and workflows in and out of Lr, as well. I know Lightroom inside and out and have been using it since the day it was introduced.

With just about everyone saying the learning curve is so steep, well, I'm a bit mortified at the proposition of switching. Nevertheless, I feel a significant push in the middle of my back to do so.

If it's so darn good, why do they limit it to only Fuji and Sony?? Don't they want to entice the far larger population of Nikon and Canon shooters too? Makes no sense. If so, does the slideshow automatically updates by adding the new photos as I shoot? I read the whole article, and it wasn't until the comments section that it was made apparent, by commenters, that the "free" versions are only for Sony and Fuji.

I had been wondering what the difference was between the "free" version, and the brand-specific versions. I see other folks were confused as well. To Fstoppers I spend a lot of time reading your articles I enjoy being here on the website, but please PLEASE pursue a wide berth from titles and sentences that flirt with click bait Yes it's sometimes hard to balance between titles that get a persons attention and what can be construed as click-bait, but please try.

Hi and thanks for the article. I downloaded the free 30 day trial of C1. When it expired my photos went with it. Any idea if the transition back will be easy? Will my photos be visible again? Here's the real lede: What is Capture One Express? No where in your article you mentioned that this application is camera specific. I am sure you defense is that you had no ill intention. How does it look now? I tried to download Capture One Express.

It did not offer a download for Capture one Express explicitly. I checked above and noted that is says "You will specify which version of Capture One you are activating when you open the file.

Perhaps I missed something. The Sony version of Capture one is not free, it has the one-month trial as do all versions of capture one.

I will not say this is a scam until I hear from the author, but it does seem very strange and misleading. Home Originals Lightroom. All edited in a minute in Capture One Express for Sony.

Capture One tethering is unbelieveable, no hangups, crashes The color rendering engine is the best in the industry Hi guys, I see there's some disappointment with the wording.

I'd ask you to grant me a little latitude there as it needed to be expressed that the reason there are those versions is due to cooperation between the manufacturers and Capture One - and not one sided.

That is expressed in the first line under the first heading. Would it be great if Nikon, Canon, Olympus et cetera also had one? Of course, and speaking with Capture One that is not off the table, but those manufacturers would have to support. Laboring on the behalf of users like you who want this is something I will do, and perhaps the more requests the more likely it will happen.

So, I encourage anyone to have a go at them. Also, give the day trial a try if Express isn't an option for you to see how you find it. That's literally 4 paragraphs into the article. I think that would be qualified as 'burying the lead. The title of the article and the first para are clearly misleading. Those are what appear in the update email where I linked through to the article.

Theres taking some "latitutde" and then there is misrepresentation. The second para implies that there is an express version for all- and I dont think that can be argued as latitude its misleading plain and simple. Clarifying thats not the case in the 4th para down is not near the top of the article. Users of other systems would clearly be disappointed once they open the article to find there is nothing for them.

Seems you have some connection with C1 from the comments and other posts. If you really want to promote C1 products, perhaps it would be better to learn from some of the comments rather than blame the reader. My excitement turned really fast into disappointment once I read that it's for Sony and Fuji only.

From the article: "Who is capture one express for? There's a case to be made that it's for everyone You do not connect the dots between the brand-specific versions and Capture One Express, so that last line reads as the software is open to anyone willing to use a stripped down version of the Pro. If you'd added behind "no purchase required" another sentence about Fuji- and Sony users, then it would come across much clearer.

I wouldn't normally respond but I'm not impressed - how much did you get paid? It's not free. It's a 30 day trial and camera specific. That's the C1 Pro and it's not what the article is referring to. It's not very clear on C1 website but the free express version for Fuji and I'm assuming Sony are inside the bundle that you download for the camera specific version.

You just select the free version afer downloading package. I agree with the commenters that the title and much of the tenor of the article is misleading regarding Capture One Express.

The implication is that it is available to all, but only when diving deep into the article and doing research online does the reader realize that the Express version is only for users of Sony and Fuji cameras.

This feels like false advertising by omission. Further research on the author shows that he works for a marketing firm representing Capture One, and that all of his articles for Fstoppers are about Capture One. I am left with the impression that these articles are a marketing campaign dressed up as tutorials. This seems similar to the deception albeit on a much smaller scale to the recent controversy regarding The North Face using photos of their gear on Wikipedia entries.

Perhaps the author could be more direct upfront and disclose his relationship with Capture One at the beginning of his articles. Capture One is known throughout the community to be an excellent product, and having articles with tips and ideas is a great way to show it off. Direct and up front? I wonder what word salad might be used to convey his purpose to influence people to buy c1. Joel Jaffe, thanks for sharing your research. I agree with your thoughts about being more direct about the author's relationship to Capture One.

The posts do openly say that they're sponsored. You may not enjoy sponsored content, but it's not deceptive. Thank you for pointing out that the post was Sponsored. I hadn't realized that. Now I know what to look for. Yes, I'm serious not sarcastic.

I'd missed the Sponsored tag when I started reading the article. Yup, I couldn't agree more, Joel. I knew absolutely ZERO about Capture One, and after reading this article--I, feeling like an idiot later, clicked several times on the link, and again from Google, etc.

Only after reading the comments was I educated to the fact it's only Fuji and Sony, unless you want to start a trial for the Pro version, which I'm sure is the point.
