I'm leaving Capture One.
A loyal and defender of Capture One since 2018, I am leaving Capture for the most widespread competition. A difficult choice that took me a year. I had to learn everything, adapt my workflow... but after multiple trials with the competition, I was trying to convince myself that Capture One was superior.
Then I decided to classify and process a series of photos with Capture One and then with the competition. And although I didn't master the competition, I realized that Capture One was outdated (ergonomics, photo management, AI, noise reduction, use of the Loupedeck CT...). I obtained the same results but more easily. What a sadness. Last nail in the coffin, the latest updates of Capture One which is no longer for me, simple amateur.
I made a switch. My workflow is not yet optimal and I don't have everything under control yet. I don't regret anything, quite the contrary, following the latest evolutions of Capture One, which for me, goes to the wall by neglecting the general public.

And it has become way too expensive.

Jerimie - I do feel your pain but I still use C1 for original processing as I find the ICC profile color rendering workflow with ProStandard profiles superior to DNG. But much of post processing is then passed on to other applications such as Iridient Developer, Adobe Camera Raw, Aurora, PTGui etc where far superior editing tools are available. I wish C1 could export 32 bit files for editing in ACR!

At that point myself, having spent the last 45 minutes trying to crop a photo to print part at an odd size. I can't make this happen, despite being a CO user for the last decade. This should have (and used to) take less than 30 seconds. WTF?
I'm tired of adjusting to seemingly random interface changes that result in increased complexity without any corresponding benefit. I did my best to support the underdog, but I'm tired of major frustrations with this product. Adobe, here I come.

Jay Ach - do you want to give more details of your cropping issue? It sounds as though it's something that should still be perfectly easy to do.
