Real World Workflow

hey guys,

I’m thinking about purchasing some printer spooling software.  You guys have any suggestions?

thx!

Pentax is expecting. She’s due in May and will be giving birth to a new Digital 645 Camera priced just under 10K. Too bad its got a face only a mother could love.

Ok, Techs, I’ve been working with C1 5.1 for a few weeks now and I have to say that aside from a few majorly annoying things. I’m much happier with the app overall. It is noticeably faster, the crop tool is a godsend (or maybe the way it should be), and the batch rename is working just fine in most situations.

For the bad, let’s just say the tagging issue has people frothing over at the Phase forum, and it’s a huge PITA. Let’s hope Phase fixes this one quick. For the moment I just have to remember to clear the tag on the next capture if I don’t want it, much like I’ve almost automatically learned to reset the capture counter when I switch filenames or start a new folder.

It could just be that I’m pretty used to the app now, so I’ve learned to deal with it’s quirks and really, 3.7 had them too, so I’m not that plussed that things aren’t perfect. Almost every capture app I’ve ever worked with hads its pluses and minuses, so 5.1 really isn’t that out of line with most of the usual crud I’ve had to deal with. I do find that it is more stable than 3.7, but that is another huge topic relative to the machines/os it’s installed on etc.

As with 3.7, I’ve found that making folders and moving files is best done inside C1 as all the relative changes stay with the file and if there’s one surefire way to crash C1 5.1, it’s to mess with the file hierarchy outside of C1 while the app is open. Guaranteed to crash almost every single time.

Anyway, just my 2cents. Would love to hear all your love/hate responses, and if anyone is using V5.1 with Leaf I’d love to hear about that too.
