Pay for something which gets slower, why would I
I have written posts on this community forum about the drop in speed from C121 to C122 since last December and nothing has been done about it, I have just sent the following message Capture One sales team in answer to their latest offer.
I have been using C1 since 2015 and have always updated to the next version but I do not intend to do so any more, over the last year I have tried corresponding with your support team and to be quite frank they are not interested, since upgrading to C1 22 my loading speed for my catalogues is ten times slower than it has ever been and it seems to me that you are going the same way as Adobe did which made me change to your software originally, I am sorry but to spend another 160Euros on something which may turn out to be worse than what I have is not worth the risk. We are not all rich corporate boys some of us have to work to purchase our software.
I do suspect it will land on deaf ears but I have become annoyed at their ability to ignore a lot of us, even though we have supported them over the years, this is what comes with success I believe.

I have the same feeling, it stops here at version 22 pro. I’m not a pro photographer, no intentions to earn money out of photography. 167 euro ‘pre upgrade price’ instead of 209 euro regular price… no thanks! Moved away from Lightroom because of expensive subscriptions, still have a paid license. C1 follows the same direction unfortunately.

Hi Michael,
It's probably not the answer you were expecting, but you may try sessions, they are usually much faster than catalogs since they do not grow exponentially and are self-containted.
That being said, yeah, the development of Capture One is a mess. I have been using it professionally since 2012 and I have followed all major advances to it, from the introduction of layers to luma masks to magic brushes. The possibilities of the platform are huge (and improving) and I do get pretty good results with it most of the time, but the way bugs and problems are handled is infuriating. Issues (including severe bugs) often carry over from one major version to the next; support threads go unanswered for months; requested features that every other top player uses take years to implement; major versions are usually really lackluster at launch and get better throughout the year, but one must pay upfront to hope to get important fixes and new features along the way until the next major version... or stick with the previous version and read every patch note until it becomes "reasonable" to upgrade. 🧐

I have to agree with you both, I do not want to go the sessions route as I already have complex catalogues, it is such a brilliant piece of software which does everything I want to do except the time it takes to load a catalogue, I will probably do as you said Charles and wing it for a while till I see some sort of change on the forum and then upgrade
