Why do your think C1 knows your location? They don't know mine since I never go on line without using my VPN. They know the location of the VPN server I happen to be using which I change daily but not mine.
Perhaps from the address or currency on the invoice?
Perhaps -- DxO gives me prices in EUR.
Both on the website and in promo e-mails.yes, subscription FTW! I subscribed to darktable, too, and always have the latest version.
Process some photos in capture one 20 and then in 21 and then tell me the upgrade price is worth it.
No, it's not $40 bucks. That would be a no-brainer for me. It's $109 now or $149 if I decide to wait. Since I purchased Capture One 20 fairly recently for about that amount, it amounts to doubling the price. Yes, I spend way more on cameras so if it's justified I'll do it. Have to admit I was a bit put off by the decision to raise the price by such a large percentage after introduction though. Bad optics in my opinion, but maybe that's just me.
Thanks for sharing that. He captures very effectively how I was feeling about it. Prior to buying Capture One 20 about 3-6 months ago, I couldn't keep up with the different offers and pricing I was getting from them. I finally bit for what though was a decent price. The initial upgrade price for going to 21 seemed a bit high to me, and then when I got the "we are raising the price" email it really put me off. I intend to hold off and wait for them to offer me 50% off that sometime in the future, maybe. Who knows, may 75% off...
The upgrade pricing really doesn't make sense when places like B&H sell a full license for $179 (on sale). Let's see, upgrade my existing license for $199 through them or just buy new from B&H? No brainer...Thanks for sharing that. He captures very effectively how I was feeling about it.

It seems a lot of features are aimed at new users, but some could speed up your workflow.
i appreciate speedups but there really isnt much note worthy in v21. Speed edit is ok but again not really going to see any significant gains as c1 v20 is already fast workflow.
I dont use dehaze in my other tools, c1 is already has good tools to get what you want
not in v20 but its in v21 which would probably be the biggest reason for anyone, shame that software companys now deliberately stop future camera models from working and call it an upgrade to get them to work in new releases.
agree
There is not a hope in hell that I would upgrade. What Capture 1 has done though is made me look at other products to achieve my RAW processing needs. What Maltmoose wrote above in bold is 100% accurate.
I'm very much in the same boat at present. I'm going to take another look at DarkTable.
Through their payment handler. For VAT&audit-reasons, EU-companies are required to log the location of the invoiced party. I think in the US, this would be comparable to sales tax, which I believe is also location-dependent.
I know, but for EU-companies, it's not common practice to contact EU-customers with offers in a third-country-currency, but that's not the main annoyance (I do a lot of transactions in all kinds of currencies) In this case, C1 knows the location, and the site itself is also a bit of a mess regarding the various offers. Therefore I consider it lame to announce a substantial price increase with a very generic email. It's not that difficult to make a clear and correct email on specific pricing, instead of a vague "prices may vary based on location".
