snow leopard
Just curious, is C1 pro going to work if I upgrade to snow leopard this week?

It took a while to get Leopard support (very frustrating!) so who knows? 0 -
See earlier thread here including Phase One staff statement.

In general, all applications that exist for an operating system like OS X needs re-testing when a new version is released (of the operating system). Are you in for an adventure, install 10.6 over the weekend and go for it. More conservative approach is to look out for announcements of all applications that are important for you for their 10.6 compatibility. Can take a few months.
Expect the first user reports within a week here of CO4 on OS X 10.6.0 -
IMO to upgrade your main machine this weekend would be silly.
I'll be upgrading from Tiger on my office iMac but my main studio Mac Pro workstation will be left with Leopard for a good while yet.
I'll wait for the official nod from Phase and then add a month before I attempt considering it. It took Apple up to 10.5.6 until it sorted out its USB speed/stability issues (remember the memory leak and crashing C1Pro) so I'm not holding my breath.
10.5.8 works great and feels like a really stable OS. I can't imagine what Apple and Snow Leopard can improve apart from the ability to navigate file structure in stacks because Leopard is an excellent OS IMO.
Probably nothing that us simple photographers will notice. ๐0 -
yeah your probably right, Im kinda bummed though because I had this special costume hand made that I was planning on wearing this weekend after I upgraded made from leopard fur with these claw gloves that matched and was going to go to the mall and growl at people with it on 0 -

Snow Leopard is not supported until Phase release a version of C4 that is compatible (at the moment it isn't). 0 -

Well thanks for clearing THAT up.....

We do have some early test results with one pretty major bug, and will follow up again as testing continues ....
When starting Capture One for the first time on Snow Leopard (if there are no license files or session files on the computer), if you try to go into either Standard or Pro trial mode as the first action it will crash. It will continue crashing everytime you try to start the app, after the License window is dismissed. If Capture One is already setup running and activated on the machine you should not have a problem.
To get around this you must first go to DB mode so that the Session file can be initialized, and then back into Trial mode. So, to break it down into easy steps:
1. Install Snow Leopard.
2. Start CO. In the License dialog choose "Use Capture One DB", and click the "Use" button.
3. Capture One will crash. This is unavoidable. Restart it - you will start in DB mode, without seeing the License dialog.
4. Go to the Capture One->License... menu item. Choose "Try Capture One Pro" (or whichever trial mode is desired), and click "Try".
5. Capture One will relaunch, and start in Trial mode.
6. There will be an error message about being unable to verify the license code, everytime you start in Trial mode. Ignore this.
Notes: Switching from Standard trial to Pro trial does not relaunch, and always starts in the original mode, always requiring another relaunch.
You must switch to DB and then to the other trial mode to change.
Also Non-image (or unsupported image) files appear in the browser. So you may see extra files among your images.0 -
Thanks Jon for the information and workaround. It may scare away the crowd sufficiently for now and attract the early adopter alike. ๐ 0 -
Well that sounds like the best reason to not upgarde to SL I've ever seen! ๐ 0 -

Ok, if I ONLY own CO 4.8.2 DB, it will work without any issues in snow leopard?
Or, should I wait the release of Capture One 5 to upgrade to SL?
Cheers...0 -
I wont promise that you will have no issues( in fact I would expect a few minor ones) as testing has only just begun, but overall it should work well for you. 0 -
I've installed on my secondary machine and things seem to be working just fine so far. I didn't have to deal with the trial mode bug at all. Just those other two tiny bugs. 0 -
Some generic tips might help you to make a smooth transition to Snow Leopard. They are not Capture One related in particular. Hopefully they give you a hint or two and are not too obvious.
Basically you have two scenarios. One is that you create an secondary installation leaving your current setup virtually untouched. The other scenario is that you upgrade your current setup to the new OS (in-place upgrade). You can do either or both. My approach is that I start with the first option in the short term for a test drive and move on to the second later for production.
Whatever you choose, you should have a fall back scenario which allows you to recover and restore you original state before the migration. Note that an in-place upgrade has more impact and a higher risk profile then the secondary installation, hence your fall back scenario must be more full proof.
For a secondary installation you can use spare hardware but that is a luxury option not often seen. A second hard drive (internal or external) or a separate volume on your single internal drive are good alternatives. Intel-based Macintoshes can start easily from most external drives (Firewire or USB). The advantage of the second drive/volume option is that you use exact the same hardware as your current setup. You can รขโฌหabuseรขโฌโข the Boot Camp Assistant for creating a volume on your existing drive. Instead of installing Windows, you install Snow Leopard. You can use the same tool later to remove the extra volume and add the retrieved disk space to your current setup.
Such a secondary setup allows you to run any test you like (applications, printers and so on) when you have some spare time without affecting your current working setup or interfering with your deadlines.
When you are familiar with copying complete volumes into a disk image file (DMG) or onto another disk or volume creating a secondary installation, you could even start experimenting with upgrading A COPY OF your current setup to Snow Leopard instead of a fresh installation. The reverse process is interesting too: when you are satisfied with a working copy of Snow Leopard (with applications, settings and so on) in a secondary installation you could copy it onto your current setup. Note that activated applications might not work after such a copy asking for re-activation or copy while de-activated.
Copying a complete volume into a DMG file with tools like Superduper and the like is also a great way to make a backup for a full proof fall back scenario. As an alternative the minimum backup scenario would be your home folders including your preferences folder. Of course Time Machine is great but I am not sure if it is able to restore a OS X upgrade (have not been there yet).
I am aware must users do not want the fuzz and will do a in-place upgrade some day. Best to keep a 3 months wait till most application developers have ironed out any compatibility issues and take the jump. Prevent heavy deadlines and have a proper backup of your data. Good luck.0 -
I have upgraded to Snow Leopard this weekend, totally no issue on launching or using C1Pro, tested on upgrade or clean install, Older mac and latest macpro. And there is a noticeable performance increase for C1Pro. Sweet! 0 -

Oops, one more problem spotted. Color Tag was completely disappeared in thumbnail.0 -
Capture One (non-Pro) had some issues for me after I updated my Mac Pro to 10.6. First, startup was extremely slow, so slow that I assumed it was not working and force quit the app. I tried again last night, and just waited it out - after a good couple minutes, it started up, but with numerous errors about "insufficient color profiles" while generating thumbnails. Also, none of my shots loaded at full resolution - all were extremely pixelated, even when set to "fit" zoom setting.
I decided to see if trashing the preferences would help, so I hunted it down (search for com.phaseone if you have a similar problem) and trashed it. On startup, the screen was no longer maximized, the browser had moved back to the bottom, and it asked if I wanted to import from my camera with COne - all expected, given that it was generating a new plist file. Happily, the pixelation was fixed, and all seems to be running pretty smoothly again.
The only issue I'm still having is that COne seems to be insisting on showing the XMP sidecar files (from my other workflow pieces) in the browser - don't think it did this previously, and I can't find any place to turn it off.0 -
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you al know that I have been running 10.6 with C1 4.8.2 since last friday without any problems. Everything seems to work fine.
Haven't had this issue with the activation either.
Kind greetings,
Bert Balcaen0 -

So Do you got color tag missing problem?
Thx,0 -
same here, C1 4.8.2 with snow leopard works like a charm few days already no decline or increase in speed no bugs so far. 0 -
First impression with OS X 10.6 (clean install, no upgrade install) with CO 4.8.2 Pro are positive. As another user noted, color tags are not shown (can be set and sorted, but do not show). Also, tethering a Canon 5D mkII was successful.
Another concern however was that monitor calibration with my hardware and software was not successful, nor reliable or satisfactory (Eizo CG monitor and ColorNavigator 5.2.2, iMatch 3.6.2 for MacBook Pro and Eye-One Pro calibrator). This has been the same with previous new OS X releases and solved after software updates. Also users with 3G/UMTS mobile internet cards/USB sticks should be careful to update; better test first.0 -
CO 4.8.3 is released with improved Snow Leopard compatibility. Give it a try and respond!
Add/Edit: On a clean 10.6 installation on MacBook Pro, a clean CO 4.8.3 install starts normal now the first time (activate or trial screen). Also, color tagging is visible again. Smooth ride also due to 10.6's performance improvements.0 -
This is good news... I recently spoke with a C1 representative stating the release of the C1 update for snow leopard... to my knowledge it should all work just fine...
any responses from users that have done the update?
I'm holding off on the update as I have heard that the snow leopard update kills adobe CS3...
just my .020
