Hi,
I'm interested to know what you consider to be the weak areas. Since coming back to C1 it pretty much looks to me like they have nailed it. Although to be fair my DAM requirements are probably different to other peoples. Were there any other things you feel weak. I have been through the Aperture and Adobe ringer and have been very pleased with C1 since returning after a few years absence.
Cheers,
Terry.
I have a large Keyword library, and C1 is slow/clunky/buggy with Keywords (For example I can't move too many Keywords into another Keyword, or it fails). Lightroom was always slick with the ability to jump to a Keyword, AKA "show me all photos with this Keyword". C1 also does not make good use of space in the layout of the Keyword tool, so it feels like I'm peering through a tiny peephole at a giant library. I still haven't figured out how to quickly & efficiently assign keywords to a run of 1k photos, either.
Filtering reminds me of GIMP vs Photoshop. I have eventually been able to figure out how to do most filtering, and C1 might actually allow for more sophisticated filters with "Advanced Filter", but it still seems awkward. LR's four-pane filter I always found very intuitive & easy. Basically, I think I've figured out how to filter in C1, but I can't jump around through keywords & shooting parameters with the same ease.
I think those have been my main problems. I put up with it because a) they have been getting better every release and b) everything else is pretty great. Performance rocks, the adjustment tools rock. The general issue of slightly-awkward UI/UX shows up in other places, but it's at its worst/I'm at my most sensitive about it with the DAM capabilities.
