I will really appreciate if they make the phase one module a bit more affordable like the capture one software ;)

These type of programs are so much alike we may as well compare a) how stable they are b) the speed of loading/viewing images and c) Their footprint and “bloat” (useless features)

That was my first thought when looking at the feature list last week as well.
Second thought was I’d like to see a LR comparison. LR probably organizes better and has better 3rd party support. C1 supposedly has better skin tones and moire removal. But most people have standardized on LR (when Adobe doesn’t shoot themselves in the foot by making it molasses slow :-)

i was actually going to ask a similar thing i use LR4, but really would like to know if there is a benefit to using this over LR4….. although i could just do the trial and see :)

Express Version is complete crap with such severe restrictions.
No local adjustments. This feature is absolutely crucial for serious retouching.
No spots removal tool.
…
Not even for free would I take it.

Looks like a good option, I’m using AfterShot Pro but Corel take an eternity to add support for new camera models (not that this affects me directly but it gives a poor impression of their support model). Also alot of lens and camera combinations are not supported by AfterShot for distortion/CA/vignetting correction. I had considered version 6 express but it was missing lens corrections, now they’ve added this feature it’s certainly more appealing
