I agree RT takes a lot of getting used to, though there is. Main reason for going with it is that I use PM6 extensively as file management swiss army knife, and adding cataloguing makes sense. PM6+ is looking as if it might be very good, but it has a different feel to other databases I've used. We have discussed Neofinder before, and it isn't as photographer focussed as LR (for obvious reasons as it’s a general purpose DAM) but strangely one of the reasons I liked it was because it updated far faster for me than LR did, and I didn't find it lacking in features for searching C1 sessions which was my primary use for it. I'm not suggesting this is what you should do, just adding my thought processes to yours, for you to make of what you will. This would bring about a less efficient workflow, but a simpler one with no reduction in quality. It would amaze me more, if it didn't crash so often, and was less difficult to learn.įor now, I'm sticking with PM6+, C1 + RawTherapee and Photoshop, but I'm also increasingly using RawTherapee and Affinity Photo so my Option 1 is looking like a possibility as retirement progresses and our money starts running out. RawTherapee amazes me every time I use it.

Photo Mechanic is the preferred option as it has stronger range of photographic orientated tools than Neofinder, but Neofinder is lower in cost, faster and more flexible as a database.Īffinity Photo, plus its siblings, are just incredibly good low cost programs, and AP has the scope through its built in tools to do many of the things, in a less slick manner, that third party photoshop panels do.

Mulling this through with a view to reducing costs (I'm now retired) and simplifying my software and working practices, I've come up with two "minimal" solutions.ġ. My new area of confusion has been trialling RawTherapee for the last 6 months, which I can't avoid concluding is giving me better raw conversions than C1 (or ACR/LR ) albeit with a much rougher workflow, but it works well as a "plugin" from C1. Since the beta was released, I have been trialling Photo Mechanic plus (and have now bought a license). I round trip from C1 to PS, but I also use Affinity Photo and it seems just as good as PS to me, except the panel add-ins like Lumenzia won't run in Affinity Photo even if many plug ins work fine.įor cataloguing, I have long used Media Pro, but for sometime now have been using Neofinder and the catalogue tools in Lightroom for cataloguing. Being able to use C1 as a browser/editor without needing to import any files has become central to my workflow, and I find the way the tools work and the customisation available really hard to give up. I would like to drop C1, but cannot bring myself to lose the tools it offers. My big difference is that I don't really object to the Adobe subscription. I've gone through a similar path, including the Raw shooter to LR transition, and I go through the same "where to now" decision making process very year now.

Having said all that, I'm not at all impressed by the way C1 market this discount, but still see it more positively than most people do because it brings down the upgrade price for those who want to take advantage of the offer.Īs an aside, not all beta features have always made the final release, so it would possibly be unwise for C1 to list the new features, or for a buyer to buy on the basis of the new features, until much nearer the release date. This still doesn’t my now annual "could I manage without C1" crisis, as it still seems an unreasonably high upgrade price. I actually find the minor user interface changes and generally increase in speed more valuable to my workflow than new features, so just pleased to have the discount available. However, if you are a committed C1 user and upgrade every year, regardless of "big new features" then it’s a way of grabbing 20% off. C1 isn't forcing anyone to take advantage of this pre-upgrade offer, the normal upgrade process will still be available when the upgrade is released.

It will come with full details of what it offers and a less than full price price tag, currently at a £160.Īt that time you can decide whether or not you want to upgrade. The upgrade doesn't exist at the moment, when it's released the "upgrade process" will be the same as other software upgrades. I don't see it as a secretive upgrade, as this isn't their "upgrade process" but a rather distasteful bit of "pre-upgrade" marketing.
