Media Pro 1.1 Has too Many Bugs for us to Recommend
Media Pro 1.1 was released about one month ago with many bug fixes and some performance enhancements. We’ve been testing this release for the previous month hoping we could make a recommendation for Media Pro. So far our position has been that it was a very good move for Phase One to acquire Media Pro from Microsoft, and that the future for Media Pro as a sister product to Capture One was a great strategy that should pay off big for the company and for its customers. However, as expected in any 1.0 release there were bugs that kept us from endorsing it when it launched and at the 1.01 release.
Unfortunately we’ve found this is still the case in Media Pro 1.1. We’re still very optimistic about the future of this product and think it’s the best long-term bet for photographers looking for a cataloging (DAM) system, but we cannot endorse version 1.1. There remain too many bugs and insufficient performance/speed.
We eagerly await being able to test the next release of Media Pro whenever Phase One makes it available.
