Capture One Express available for FREE

hartless_1 · 07-27-2011, 05:39 PM

Downloaded, installed and working well for me with PEF files from Kx and K100D.

Bit of fun coming to grips with the interface but is easy to use once set up and I like the results compared against PDU, ACDSee, Raw Therapee and PSE.

Many thanks to the OP, Rawr.

Are you referring to PEFs? If so, then there is something wrong with your configuration of C1, as it is renown for delivering the best colors of any raw processor.

So what's the answer to the following question?

Looks like they are adding new questions all the time.

When I first posted the link, there was no question. Then they had some question about a famous photographers name. Now this.

The direct download link off Phase One's site is:
Phase One camera system - Raw conversion software - Photo management

But to activate the copy of C1 you download (otherwise it's only a 30 day trial) you will need a unique serial generated by the magazine.

Maybe a UK PFF user may be able to help if they have access to the physical magazine.

I didn't realize that it was a UK mag.

Seems like they have setup multiple links, each with a different questions:

“What is advertised on page 44?”
“Name the expert on page 39?”
“Who is the author of the masterclass on page 45?”
“What animal is featured on page 87?”

Aha.

If you really want C1 Express for free, it looks like a digital version of their magazine is available via their app on the iTunes store. Get their app, then get the relevant edition of their mag:

Digital Photographer Magazine for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

I love Silkypix, and when I want the colors right, I always go there. I have used a ton of Raw converters, and for colors, Silkypix is unbeatable for Pentax shooters IMHO.

Thanks! You sure know how to look things up on the web.

My eyes aren't trained enough to detect slight differences in color rendering, But I can notice artifacts due to noise reduction and/or sharpening. I prefer both PCDU and Silkypix (only used it for 30-days trial period) in that regard.

Anyway, I'm intrigued by Capture One Express because it's a 64bit application. I may or may not like its stock output, figured it's worth a try. I can always go back to in-camera conversion.
