Editorial Comments

We believe professional photographers should continue to hold off on adopting Lion as the OS on their production computers (especially if they tether). New Mac OS releases always contain significant bugs (often affecting Capture One users). These bugs often persist for a few months after release. While we have been running release candidates of 6.3 with few, if any, glitches we’d encourage caution when changing your OS. It is easy to consider it “just another upgrade” – you should not; it is a major and fundamental change to the software on your computer.

About Capture One Updates

Capture Integration is constantly testing new releases of Capture One and has many customers who are kind enough to keep us informed about their testing. We recommend a user update critical software or their operating-system only when:

  1. The update contains an improvement, new feature or bug fix which is relevant to the user (“if it isn’t broke – don’t fix it”)
  2. The update has been out long enough to give a sense of whether it contains any nasty bugs
  3. The user has time/desire to do a complete test of anything workflow critical (e.g. tethering, processing, retouching, printing etc)
  4. The user has a complete bootable backup of the computer. We recommend SuperDuper.
  5. The user has the time to do a clean install. This means removing the previous version before installing the new version in the case of a software update. For an OS that means doing a erase+install.
