Phase One P65+ and CaptureOne Pro 4.5 are OUT!!!

Last week I was able to participate in another showcase/demonstration of equipment. This time was the new P65+ Digital Back (60.5 MP) from Phase One and the new release of their capture and raw processing software Capture One Pro 4.5 now available for a free trial download at Phase One.com . This is yet another amazing piece of machine married with a proprietary capture and raw processing software, which delivers an incredible amount of information and detail.  I'm not going to get into the technical specs of the new P65+ nor the version 4.5 of Capture One Pro (for those go to PhaseOne.com), but the results that I saw on an Eizo display were impressive. The detail shown on a model's skin is "almost" too much. I could basically see inside her pores. Nonetheless this detail is always welcome, but it does come with a price when you try to process and manipulate this incredibly large files. Today, top of the line machines are managing these tasks in a "OK" level. It's time for computer manufactures to crank out faster machines, with more RAM capacity (laptops) and more affordable prices considering that we have to replace them more or less every couple of years.
