Speaking of RAW converter, we remind you that Phase One has launched a pre-order campaign fro Capture One 21.
if you own an older Capture One version (ver. 12 or older), you can now upgrade to Capture One 20 and you’ll get a free upgrade to Capture One 21 as soon as it released
if you own Capture One 20 already, you can pre-order Capture One 21 with a 20% discount using code “PREORDER2020“

Leaving Lightroom
It was inevitable, because:
I use Lightroom standalone
Adobe now offers only subscription model
Newer cameras are not supported on LR standalone
I don’t want to join a subscription model
So I had to look for alternatives, and although my lovely Fujifilm X-E3 is still supported in Lightroom standalone, I figured out that, since I am going to leave Lightroom anyway at some point, I better do it now.
Luckily we live in times, where there are a lot of valuable alternatives, such as:
And after a summer spent at home hiking my mountains (you can see my wife and me caching sunrise at 8,200 feet here) and editing pictures with a mix of different software, I decided to make Capture One Pro my main software of choice.
And yes… X-Trans files and Capture One do get along very well :).
The learning curve?
Well, that actually went faster than I’d have expected, as Capture One is just a very good software overall, but there are also lots of quick tip C1 youtube videos you can check out for help.
We have shared Capture One tutorials and quick tips already in past roundups:
