PLANET I recently got one of those Capture One LE versions supplied with a memory card and have to second one of my previous writers: the files you're getting finally are looking quite different than in the preview.
Think about it when you apply sharpening and your results can look quite nice. But sadly C1's file manager is very confusing and the temporary files stored in the pictures folder are huge. If you use this app permanently you have to expect the iPhoto effect: your harddrive gets a rubbish dump very quickly, better go for a bigger one soon.
Compared with other, even free alternatives like the UFRaw Plugin for Gimpshop, Silkypix, Rawker, DCRaw which all are easier in use and delivering excellent results as well, I'm asking myself about what the fuss with C1 online registration and one copy per system folder when I can get the same or even better software for free?
