Capture One - which version?

[tim]

Given I don't want to pay for the pro version, which version should I get? SE is being discontinued, it says. The LE version is a 10MB download, whereas pro and SE are 35MB to download - which indicates less features?

Thoughts anyone?

Comparison Chart: http://www.phaseone.com/upload/comparison_chart_003.pdf

In a nutshell, the biggest difference is with batches. I think LE does 20 pics while Pro can do 100. There are a few other things - check the chart to make sure the missing features aren't important to you.

Thanks scottes, I couldn't find that chart myself on their site. It looks like LE will do everything I want, and the price is pretty reasonable. I'll give it a try later today :)

I'm loving capture one! That 20 file per batch limit's getting pretty annoying though. It's so much faster than photoshop to process pictures, but for "the one" that i'd get printed i'd probably go back to photoshop for it's better control. For quick preparation for the web it's great :)
