I've been trying it for about 20 minutes - it is an impressive update.

I'm going to download the trial tonight though by looking at the videos there is going to be a pretty high learning curve. I just started using DXO photolab and love the way it corrects raw images and the way it renders them.

Looking at the power of the layers now in C1 11, it looks like if one were to really take time to learn how to use it all, one might be able to longer rely on Photoshop any more.

I've bought into the last two updates, was thinking I'd skip this one based solely on being happy, but for $119.00 upgrade I think I might just try to "phase" out the whole photoshop part of my workflow.

I know you really like Capture so that may be the ticket if you can streamline your process. Still too much of an initial hit for me and I'm not a big user of layers anymore. I use PS for other stuff and do all my B&W work in there. I have a plugin I just can't give up right now and it is for PS only. I'll wait and see what Adobe does in the next year.

The link I posted to is an ambassador. Apparently if you visit an ambassador's site you get 10% off. Not sure about updates.

Figures, i upgraded to 10 on Oct. 26. Now I get to pay again I guess.

A friend who upgraded on Oct. 31 (so less than a month) got a free upgrade.

Maybe you should contact them. I knew there was an update because I read thye released the Beta and I did not want to pay for an upgrade. Not sure what the actual date was when I got the plan. If I had have chosen Capture it would have been the same day.

I am still on the trial - went from 10 to 11, will buy 11 though. I like the software 'style'. I think it is a ways off replacing PS for me, but it has reduced my need to go into PS which is helpful just in terms of file/image management and disk space.

11 sped up my workflow significantly with some very simple additions like just being able to clear a mask - I can now copy-paste a series of masks and quickly re-draw them. Applying styles to a layer is another one.

I strongly recommend a free guide "Mastering Capture One" - http://alexonraw.com/c​apture-one-free-guide-1
It is a collection of more than 110 links to the best articles and videos about features of Capture One.
Also, there is a PDF version of the guide.
A lot of work has been done by the author and I'm sure it was worth it.

When Photoshop went to its subscription model I switched to Affinity. Still using Lightroom 4 also, but Capture One looks appealing.

It needs luminosity masking to match the color masking.

Capture one is a very good program in many respects, however, it is quite pricey. It currently costs $299. I played with the trial for a few weeks. While it has many significant strengths I did not care for the interface design and the implementation of many of the tools, which of course is a very personal thing. That, in combination with the high price tag, eliminated it from my consideration. Keep in mind however that I already am an owner of the standalone version of Lightroom 6, and the new DXO Photolab, which I really love, but which doesn't have quite as much functionality Capture One.

First large update: Capture One 11.1
