Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

So, I bought new Panasonic GF1 for light carry when I don't want to lug the Pentax system around. A very nice little camera, by the way. My version of Phase One Capture One does not support the Panasonic raw format. It has been a while since I last upgraded, but when I saw the prices, I was floored. No cheap upgrade for my LE version from two years ago, so I would need to buy the whole new package for 399.00! Man, I like this raw converter but this price seems crazy. A lot of others do too. I have instead installed the included copy of Silky Pix which I find to be just fine.

Free is good. I wonder why these programs are getting so expensive?

The pro version of Capture One has always been pricey. It also gives results that you can't get with other programs, though the latest generation of Adobe Camera Raw is close.

People working at the very high end of any craft are generally willing to pay extra for an incremental improvement in results. For the average photographer, Capture One is overkill. For a working pro, it may mean the difference between a thrilled client and one who is merely satisfied.
