![]() I'd hazard a guess that's pretty close to Pentax's total profit for the sale of a K-70 or KP. There may or may not be a payment from the company (Fuji or Pentax) to sweeten the deal, or even a payment to them for the exposure.Ī full copy of Silkypix costs about $170 (because it's on sale) $260 normally. This makes money for the software house, which offsets the cost of giving away (a crippled version of) the software. The idea is that a proportion of the recipients of this 'free' software will be annoyed enough by the missing features that they will buy the full version. Yes, and not the full version for an important reason. Even a healthy discount would be a massive hit on their bottom line, for no real benefit to them considering most of their customers expect to choose and pay for their own PP software and a big chunk of them wouldn't want Silkypix anyway or already have software they like. They might get a bit of a bulk discount, but it will still be a whole lot more money than nothing, which is probably around what it costs now.Ī full copy of Silkypix costs about $170 (because it's on sale) $260 normally.

That's the thing - both Fujifilm and Panasonic use(d in the case of Fujifilm) Silkypix (not the latest, full version), but not the DCU skin. I did something similar with DXO about Fujifilm about the lack of support - no dice. Your experience is disappointing re: metadata. Pentax is dead to Phase One.Well, given that Capture One Express is now available for Fujifilm GFX bodies, and Pentax medium format is pending update, maybe the time is right again? Plus they are in bed with Fuji now so Pentax will not be considered viable in their eyes.įace the facts, Capture One beats Adobe products with a stick, however in their eyes Pentax is a dead/poisoned brand. My requests started with Capture One v5, they are on v12 - this is a trend. I have had multiple "issue" reports into Capture One to support Pentax APS-C camera metadata and it has fallen on deaf ears. A by product of this is that what Capture One calls "the 35mm bodies" are not well supported either. Since those days Phase One (parent company of Capture One) has explicitly stated that they will NOT support the Pentax 645 series of cameras. Sometime in the past, probably about the time that Pentax came out with the 645D/Z, Capture One got bent out of shape over Pentax.
