Bought Fujifilm X100VI and find my Capture One 23 is obsolete

Colin LastNameO'Neill

I just received my new X100VI and am most disappointed that my perpetual licence for C1 23 is no longer any use because it can't handle the raw files.

I'm on V16.2.6.7 and it appears I need 16.3.6, a paid update.

I take it I now have to either take out a subscription or a new perpetual licence to be able to handle the raw files?

    Yes. That is true. Given how long it's been since they released a major paid version update I would consider either waiting to upgrade, or getting a subscription. The subscription is my own preference as I always have access to the latest fixes and features and supported cameras.

    Thanks, I'll leave it for a while. The jpegs are OK anyway!

    I have the same problem.

    I don't usually complain about anything, but this feels like an artificial obstacle introduced purely for the sake of juicing the customer (and for the wrong reason). Strategically, this is such a incorrect step for them to go with - I am now forced to use Lightroom for this camera to process raws (which I am paying anyway because of the Photoshop). They are risking that I will just move forward with Lightroom for the rest of my workflow as well instead of me selecting to upgrade C1 when I feel the value is right (= because of new features).

    Bad strategy and great way to anger (until now) satisfied customers. It especially feels like a slap in the face if you upgraded to the perpetual license recently.

    Completely agree. I’m on the 3 months free trial ATM but will probably move over to Lightroom when that finishes.

    I’m also disappointed! I purchased the perpetual license because I don’t edit photos that often. Now I’ve bought a new camera and can’t open the RAW files. A subscription or paying for another perpetual license isn’t worth it for me—especially since I’d rather switch to Lightroom, which is cheaper with an annual plan and offers more convenience.

    It’s a real shame because I was actually happy with Capture One as a perpetual license.
