Anyone that has Phase One's Capture One LE (obtained free from Sandiscs Extreme III CF and SD cards a while ago - now expired) can upgrade for free to Capture One 4.1.
Just watched a tutorial from here (windows version) and it looks pretty good.
here's a summery from dpreview. Some reckon it's better than Lightroom and Capture NX - would be interesting to see if the folk at AP towers run a feature in the mag comparing it with other RAW applications.

Hi Rhys
I did exactly the same as you, and I have upgraded to 4.01 with no problem, and it didn't cost a bean.

What are your views on this software?

I've been using version 4 since it was in Beta and, despite many grumbles about it on Capture One's forum, I like it. Mind you, I'm comparing it to the cut-down version of Adobe RAW Converter that comes with Elements 4 and I only process a relatively small number of images but, in my view, it consistently produces the best images - they're just, somehow, more alive.

I did a load of portraits of our young 'un with her cousins for her sister and framed a couple for her mums birthday. Unfortunately one of the better ones was pretty dark (flash hadn't recycled properly I think). I tried to save it in photoshop but struggled - Capture One LE did it with ease and the sharpening tool works a lot better too. I just use photoshop now for the bits and pieces that C1 doesn't do.

I have no complaints with capture 4, the workflow seems pretty straight forward to me. I have just finished shooting a golf match, 200 odd photos, but I shot them in Jpeg, "didn't fancy converting that many raw files" and the results are not what Im used to. Shooting in raw and convering in C4,the results are far superior.

Yep, me too.

But you could have used the batch conversion facilities in C1 v4 to do all the hard work for you.
