Using settings from 3.7 to 4.0

Daniel Goldwasser
I know that in the release notes of V4 one of the know issues listed is that

"Settings from previous generations of Capture One (3.x or older) cannot be reused"

I'm wondering if this is an issue that Phase One is planning to fix? Conversely, will it be possible to read the adjustments made in V4 if we are using 3.7?

I'd like to be able to use both programs interchangeably. As a digital tech, some clienst will be using 3.7 while others have made the switch to V4.

Thoughts?

    Has been discussed several times here and in the Windows forum as well. I suggest to open a support case and do a feature request. It might come when the Pro version is released for both CO4's.

    I simply can not imagine this happening... software is developed, but then it will not work with previous versions/formats. Imagine if MS Word, Xcel, Quark or virtually any other software could not open previous version documents? That would never happen. I do not understand why this direction has been chosen for C1. The planning on this might be revised.

    I noticed the same problem.

    I can't use C1 4 for capture since I shoot 99% tethered to the computer. Since C1 4 is the "light" version, that feature is just not there.

    So I was thinking that I could capture in C1 3x and work latter in C1 4, but that would be too easy.

    So this whole exercise of upgrading to a baby incomplete version of a good program is first of all tiering, and second disappointing but using just 20% of the potential of what the word can state, or an understatement.

    Why couldn't they include a simple unmodified tethered capacity --and sessions-- in the C1 4?? at least they could do a DB version of the program with tethered capacity for the people that buy the expensive hardware that also has the Phase One name on...

    What happens if you buy a P 25+ what do you get? a Capture software crippled and an older Pro version?

    I am shooting tethered and previewing and processing images directly using Capture One 4. With a P25+ and on a Macbook Pro, I have Capture One 3.7 DB and Capture One 4 open at the same time. I create the session in DB which takes the images from the tethered back in real time as normal, if using a remote release on the camera I can minmise the DB app and never look at it. Or I can capture from the keyboard by clicking in the DB window, which can be small and floating, and hitting return as normal.

    I have the C1 4 window up as my main or only window, point it at the capture folder for the session and preview, white balance, adjust and process as I want to.

    Only downside I can see is that DB will create thumbnails, previews and settings files as normal but as I believe C1 4 doesn't use them and as its own settings files I guess they can be deleted to save disk space.

    That is a correct assumption (IMHO of course).
