Moving from Aperture to Capture One Pro .x
I bought licences for Capture One Pro 6 and Media Pro but have never really used them because I was already using Aperture/Expressions.
Now that Aperture is being eliminated by Apple, I am interested in switching.
1. How do I move my libraries?
2. I have a Nikon D9 with many lenses, but how well does Capture One Pro work with non-professional cameras such as iPod Touches, iPhones etc?
3. How do I manage the software across multiple OSes on the same Mac? I use Snow Leopard/Mavericks and Yosemite for various reasons.
4. Have the bugs been ironed out of Media Pro yet?
5. Does Capture One Pro 8 have perspective correction?
And what are other users experiences, positive and negative of switching?
Thanks.

In short, C1 is a good alternative to Aperture but significantly more expensive than other alternatives. Image quality is good and most tools work well. There are some bugs - the quality is not up to Apple standards (IMHO). Fortunately, Phase One Tech Support is responsive. You will find it fairly familiar to work with. There is a good webcast to watch on the Phase One YouTube Webcast channel and lots of other useful threads here on migrating. I also have an extensive thread over on the MacRumors Digital Photography forum related to this topic.
1. Do a search or browse this forum... Too much to repeat here.
2. C1 is a RAW converter or editor. Those cameras shoot JPEG so it will work as well as any other with JPEG images.
3. I would check the system requirements. Doubtful SL is still supported.
4. Media Pro is all but discontinued from what I understand.
5. Yes (Keystone correction)0 -

As already suggested, please do a search on the forum or just browse a bit and you will be served with a bulk of information and experience. What I have read about experiences is that there is a lot to gain (image quality, tethered shooting) and some to lose. YMMV.
Please use the 30-day trail of CO Pro 8 to discover yourself what it can do for you. You are welcome to share your experiences and any questions you may have.0 -
There is also a recorded webinar on migration from Aperture to Capture One:

Agree! That was a very nice set of posts! Thanks, Jochem! 😊0 -
Well written, Jochen.
I agree completely that the tool I miss most from Aperture is being able to brush in multiple curves adjustments.
And also with your needs for what one should have:The important points about a curve adjustment brush are:
1) You can modify the curve at any time
2) It should be possible to brush multiple different curves
3) Ideally there is a luminance mode that doesn't affect saturation0 -
And agree with the comment by Optimaldelusion on the article: The second is red-eye removal.
Yes, it's a convenience. But what is wrong with that? 😊0
