The next version of Capture One 4.6 was released on Jan 5. The full release notes can be found at http://phaseone.com/Content/Downloads/CO4.aspxHere are the improvements and changes we thought were most important. This list is not comprehensive on purpose, so consult the above release notes if completeness is your goal.
Performance
- The time it takes to generate a preview (important for fast tethered performance) has improved
- The responsiveness of Color Editor is MUCH improved
- Processing, especially when using an 8 core machine is MUCH faster
- Browsing to a folder, and browsing from file to file within a folder is faster
New Camera Support
- Tethered support for Nikon! D3, D700, D300, D200, D80, D60, D40x, D40
- 5D Mark II (raw file only, no tethering)
- Canon G10
- Nikon D3X
Features
- Computer Based Camera Control (currently P65+ and AFDII/AFDIII only) for shutter, aperture, and EV adjustments.
- Load/Save Workspaces allowing you to save the position and state of your windows
Update: 4.6.1 was released with improvements only for P65+ file processing. If you don’t own or use that digital back then there is no reason to update.
