Capture One 4.8.2 Released
July 31, 2009 | Tech Features
Main improvements are
- P65+ and P40+ image quality
- improved stability (mostly regarding 8-core Mac Pros)
- improved stability of Live Preview
- option to lock tethered capture to vertical or horizontal format*
- Network access much improved in speed for multiple folders NAS drives and for Mac AFP drives
Added Support for
- Canon 500D (a.k.a. Canon Kiss X3), Pentax K7, Nikon D5000/6000, Olympus E-450/E-P1, Sony A230/A3301
If none of these directly affect you we recommend staying with 4.8.1 until 4.8.2 has been out for awhile (nothing specific to 4.8.2 – just a good practice in general). 4.8.1 has been very stable and fast.
Anyone waiting for a specific major improvement should be aware the programmers are working on a major release which addresses many user requests for features; this release was a minor release to fix a few specific bugs.
Also for best results we recommend as always to completely uninstall the previous version prior to installing the new version per our instructions.
*Solves annoyance of shoots where camera is pointed strait down or up
