Capture One Express Discontinued

Share

Capture One just announced that starting January 30, 2024, Capture One Express will be discontinued and no longer be available.

The reason they give in the press release below is obviously just marketing talk nonsense.

Let me translate it for you in more direct words: “we want to make more money and therefore force happy Capture One Express users to upgrade“.

Down below I share some relevant links ;)

Express is coming to an end

We’re constantly working to improve our tools for you. And to give you the best creative and collaborative experience, we need to focus on our main products. This means that starting January 30, 2024, Capture One Express will no longer be available.

You’ll be able to use Express until January 30, and all your images and edits will also be available until this date.

Starting January 30, you won’t be able to download or use Express from our website. Also, you can’t activate any Express license keys after January 30, even though you downloaded the license key before this date.

We’ll end all support for Express after January 30.
You can easily transfer your images and edits from Express to Pro. Just open your Express Catalog in Pro and keep creating.
If you don’t want to make the switch to Pro but want to download all your images and edits, here’s what you can do.

You have three options:

a. Export your edits to TIFF, JPEG, or other formats.
b. Export your RAW files with or without adjustment metadata by choosing Export Originals.
c. Access Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows) and extract them manually.
