Well I can't say I agree here. I also own Nikon D1x and had been using both Bibble and then later on the RAW plug-in with PS 7.0.1 + CS RAW. Capture one literally extended the lifetime of the Nikon D1x for me, both was it much easier to get good colours and the 10MP interpolated files were much better than I had expected. Since I posted yesterday I have downloaded the latest version of C1 (v 3.5). Now one can get even better results regarding colour (I have always found the skin tones too red from the Nikon D1x and have been more or less doing the same hue adjustment to all images with skin tone) by simply editing the input profiles with the 'Colour editor' and saving them out for reuse. Great feature, kind of makes my wish for hue adjustment a-la CS RAW mute. I strongly suggest D-SLR users that haven't tried C1 out to give it a shot and to take some time comparing the files vs. CS RAW or any other software they are using. My testing (and I have spent a lot of time with various subjects such as portrait, landscape, aerials, still-life etc) have made me confident of the fact that I am getting the most out of my RAW files using C1 Pro, at least when I take into account how fast I am able to work with the program. Of course there are probably always some images that I could do better by using CS RAW or some other method (I have never tested the Nikon software...) but it's the power vs. time I love so much. One has got to compliment the Danes on this software.
