Roll Back to Yosemite? Performance gains on 10.11 soon?
Hello, I have a decision to make, and wondering if anyone can offer some pre-advice on the near-future, and long-term compatibility of Capture One with El Capitan.
I have upgraded two shoot computers to El Capitan after reading that Capture One supported OSX 10.11, but rather dismayed that performance has been impacted. I am now wondering whether I should undergo the process of clean-installing Yosemite again.
I have a few questions:
Is a new version of C1 likely to appear that will harness the supposed performance gains that OSX 10.11 offers with "Metal"?
Also could anyone help me out and, in Layman's terms, shed a little light on what exactly Metal is, and why it has apparently caused problems for not just Capture One but also Photoshop and other applications? Has it changed the way software utilises Graphics Card / OpenCL?

No C1 is not using Metal, instead it relies on OpenCL as crosplatform toolchain.
So this is rather simple, Metal is just another layer on top of OpenCL to simplify app development that uses OpenCL, and just other cool0
