Where is the support?
Where is the ongoing support for 3.7 LE? I have a new camera I've added to the stable, a Nikon D300. I expected to be able to download an update and be able to keep working with the software, but I could not find it.
Are there updates so that one can use C1 without having to resort to using v4.0. I'm sorry but I want that interface that I can work so fast with - not C1 v 4.0 where it takes a million clicks to do something.
I normally like new software, and have no problems learning it, but this v 4.0 has details missing that make it infuriating to work with.
Why can't I see the progress bar like before?
If you are going to clutter up the interface ... can we make it a user option to remove all this stuff that we never tab to?
Its details like the crop too, which now necessitates clicking on the crop tab, rather than the elegant pull down that v3.7 has, that has me staying back. But I need support for the D300. Is that coming? Please continue support for the old interface!

Capture One 3.x LE is discontinued in favor for the Capture One 4 version (note this does NOT apply to PRO or DB version)
I realize there is some what of a learning curve when many things are very different.
Last week I attended Focus on Imaging in Birmingham U.K where many end users came up to me with statements as the one you just has made where in the end it was simply a learning curve because many of the tools is just as accessible and it has even more tool the old LE did not have but it take a little time to get used to. It is true that not all short cut keys are in place. You can get around this by mapping them through Mac OS. They will of course be implemented in to Capture One 4.
I think this discussion should end here when only the 20% percent of what I have just written belongs in this forum. -
Thank you for the reply. An odd thing happened. I deleted the prefference files in the library and also re-installed v 4.0, thinking that the way the program was behaving could not be right.
Whereas it took approximately 4-7 minutes for the program to load, and where I had pauses lasting a minute or so randomly when going from shot to shot - all that has changed. The program is now running like something else entirely. The menu options, which I had to click on several times sometimes now work the way one would think and those nine bright blue grid lines which I had ever-present along side the grey grid - don't exist!
So .... v 4.0 works like a real program now. I don't mind learning ... but I do still say that the interface has too many small components which get in the way. Tiny little clickable arrows .... not something that is an ergonomic boost.
But now I believe I can give 4.0 a genuine run through.
Still though .... why the lack of support for the old 3.7 way? Is this going to happen to 3.7 pro as well. I have been toying with the idea of going to pro, just for the ergonomics that I like - but if the support for new cameras dries up right away ... well that does not seem like a worth while strategy.
It feels like forced obsolescence, do you not agree?
Anyways, thank for the reply. 😊
