CO21 (14.2) - dissapointing performance on M1 Mac

Robert Łysakowski

All,

Have MacBook Air and Capture One 21 (14.2). I am switching from Dell XPS 15 I7.

I need to say at this stage that the performance of M1 is disappointing. When processing simple 26MB DNG (Ricoh GRIII) it takes time to render the picture when I browse catalog. Changing white balance or exposure is not as smooth as I am used to see. I tried to switch off the HW acceleration and it makes a difference so it's using it. Just slower than I would expect reading all the praises. I wanted to check how CO20 runs but I can not do it as the upgrade deactivated my previous licence key and I can not even compare it. Very irritating.

Anybody seeing similar performance behaviour or my expectations were just not right?

    You can activate V20 using your new V21 key.

    I don't know your expectations or how Capture One ran on the Dell so really can't give any meaningful comment.  The best I can do is share this video which shows Capture One running on an M1 Macbook Pro with 16 GB so you can compare what you are seeing vs the video.  Maybe the comparison will help.

    Thanks.

    I was able to activate CO20 with new license key - thanks for this! Performance for me looks similar if not identical, perhaps with slight edge for the CO20 version (weird).

    I am using the increased resolution (more space) and preview size of 2048. Does it make sense?

    Thanks for the video - I've seen it before but I have Air and 8GB so not 100% comparable. What he's showing is smoother than my experience but no by far. What I notice is the spinning wheel (next to color readouts) saying "Focusing viewer..." - in some cases it's running forever and I do not know what it means and why it's even there...

    hi, here’s a little bit more informative video. usually this guy works as an ambassador for BenQ, but shows an interesting comparison between all kind of scenarios even with Lightroom…

    in my experience from past transitions. you need to wait and better don’t be a an early adaptor. too much marketing and influencers - post anything with M1 and you’ll get clicks;-)
