Slovakbrit

I am retired and living in Slovakia with my wife who is local, I originally came from Sussex UK but have lived here for 13 years. I have always had an interest in photography and for ten years only shot in B&W, had the obligatory darkroom which was a great way to learn, my other passion is computing and have built my own systems since 1980 when I was a radio ham. Now I do whatever takes my fancy, every winter I snowboard for three months and then garden in the summer months, life is good.

    All I can say about this is I moved backwards to Capture One 21 version 14.3.1 a year ago and I have no regrets except I paid them for two versions which are useless, I have learnt that the only pe...

    3. Reasons to stay with C1 Pro?
