iMac tethering with CaptureOneLE?
Hi, this may be a long post, sorry about that.
I have a G4 laptop, approx 2 1/2 years old, which I use on location. It works fine, although is a lot slower than when I first had it. This is not a problem when working on static subjects with my Hasselblad and P25, but yesterday I was shooting sportswear with the Hass and Nikon for details and action. It was painfully slow, and not really viable to shoot tethered, so I pulled the firewire to improve speed, which was fine for me, but the client missed seeing the shots on screen.
I don't really need a new notebook, however, whereas my wife has an iMac from the last century, and could do with a new computer for book keeping etc. Has anyone tried working a P25 tethered to an iMac, and more particularly, will it work with CapterOne LE? I will need CaptureOne on 3 computers so won't have enough credit to use it on the new one. When I am on location on my own, the notebook is fine, generally for downloading files or static imagery, where speed isn't important. Whenever I shoot people, my wife is with me for make-up etc. so I wouldn't be depriving her of office computer usage, in fact, it makes perfect sense, including the huge price advantage. But I need to know whether I'd have to budget for a full version of CaptureOne, or can go for the cheaper LE version until I am back in the studio, where I would transfer the files to my MacPro tower as a matter of course. Or maybe someone has a an alternative solution to my predicament? I only need to view and store the files, I won't need to do any processing as a rule.
Thanks in advance, Andrew

Andrew,
Be sure you are up to date with Firmware 3.3.4 and Capture One Version 3.7.7
Be sure Preferences > Camera Setup > set to IIQ Raw L
Only Capture One DB and PRO versions support tethering with your P25.
Any portable Apple machine may lack sufficient power from FW port.
Review Knowledge Base articles # 1858 and 1152

DB and PRO are the same with PRO supporting DSLRs.
As a P25 owner you may have DB version for Free with as many installs as you need. If you want to get a Product Key for DB, contact Support with a Case and submit Dealer and Studio Contact information and Serial # of your Dback.
