I'm going to bump this up and make sure it doesn't drop down the page as I'm interested to see how people vote on this poll.

 

[SergeiR]

well since site is down and we cant load new version (altough i feel a bit heavy about paying 100$ to upgrade software that is roughly year old, but oh well) - wont be many new impressions in a while..

 

[Jack]

You forgot the enhanced perspective corrections -- keystoning tool -- which I chose as "something else" !!!

 

[fotophil]

My "other" vote is for the thumbnail loupe

 

[Guy Mancuso]

To me it is worth the 100 dollars just for the adjustment layers. If I can stay out of CS5 than the faster i can get work out. C1 is getting to the point that eliminates some work in CS5. For me that is exciting and saves time.

I am looking forward to this: "Capture One Pro 6 has been built to support an upcoming iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch application called Capture PilotTM that will allow you to wirelessly view, zoom in on, and pan high resolution RAW, JPEG and TIFF images from leading DSLR and medium format camera systems."
That would indicate some type of wireless transmission from Phase One backs is in the works, perhaps an add-on or integrated in a new generation of DB's?

When shooting tethered to the computer Capture One can act as a wireless server for the iPad to received the latest image shortly after shutter release or to serve up the already captured images - including viewing at 100%.

As for wireless from the back itself, maybe yes, but maybe no. (I know nothing rumor or otherwise about what they are working on)
The iPhone and iPad app is a way of browsing your session on your local wireless network.
With a P65+ for example the problem is likely to be wireless speed if they did support wireless from the back it is just too many bits and too little time.

I'm with Guy, the local adjustments is a huge improvement and worth the upgrade.

Take a look here for the Capture Pilot:

Server component is in the software itself. Built right in.

Wow!! amazing improvements ! i'm so getting it !!
Specially the B&W tools and Local Adjustments

Speed certainly isn't the problem. I would guess battery life is a bigger one.

if i only wish for something more in the new version, it will be the ability to apply digital filters like polarization, gradient ND, and color filters, this will make it as my complete image editing package !!!

The Capture Integration Styles pack has color filters, and a new one will be released (hopefully this week) with gradients using the local adjustments tool (sort of in reverse).

Polarization is an optical filter and you can sort of simulate some of the effects (we have a SkyDarken in our current Styles Pack) but only somewhat.

a P65+ 60 MB file on wireless n takes awhile. 802.11 n usual implementations have a near-range throughput of about 80Mbs while streaming which comes out to about 6.2 seconds per file which is way too slow IMO for model shooting. We need something about 10 times faster.

I got it working but it is a little release 1-ish.
A more robust method of initiating a server scan other than killing and restarting the app wold be nice.
I also am looking to see why I am getting occasional "server not available"
Also network naming conflicts need a bit of a better error message than "there is a conflict try restarting the server or rebooting your computer" when actually none of the above will resolve a naming conflict.
