No worries: help is on the way

I was suddenly stuck with editing my picture in Capture One and couldn't do anything.
I contacted the technical support of Capture One which answered very quickly by providing advice. As I am not very good with the technical side of computers in the following two emails Sergi tried to navigate me through the process. In the end it was a problem of Apple and Capture One is running smoothly as usual.
Very satisfying experience with a dedicated technical support team at Capture One. Thanks!

I am updating the Capture1 fiasco.

I am updating the Capture1 fiasco.
Eventually I was helped by Rayen who generally took an interest but could not rectify the problem but referred it over to Irina who finally solved the problem.
This was originally a SIMPLE change of email address which has been an ordeal. Capture 1 needs to take a hard look at its abysmal help system, I could not log in so I could receive help!
Most importantly if it had not been for being able to make these posts on Trust Pilot I would not have been able to resolved this mess as I was simply locked out of their system, so 5 stars for Trust Pilot

Things are on the up

I have had patchy customer service from this company in the past, sometimes very poor (comedically so - no solution to a big problem until around 10 months later when they said 'oh about your problem, buy the newest version and it MAY fix it').

However, in the last 6 months or more I have raised a few support tickets, and each has been responded to quickly and comprehensively - this time by Sergi.

I hope this is the new norm, as it has made the product much more useful having these newer, better levels of support.

Excellent Support

I've only been using Capture One Pro fully since moving from Lightroom in Jan 2024. It's a complex product with some great features which speed up my workflow and enable me to get the best out of my images. During that time I have needed support to understand C1P and when things happened that I didn't understand. It was great to have a real person to interact with. The response (mostly from Victor) was always friendly, helpful and patient. Each time he managed to find a resolution to the issues I raised.
It makes such a pleasant change from most companies today where helpdesk support leaves a lot to be desired. Thank you Capture One and Victor in particular.

Customer service unwilling to extend my discounted annual sub rate due to being 3 days late. I had paid all 12 months of the previous year. Customer for > 2 years.

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback.

As mentioned in a reply to your support case, we unfortunately do not keep the discounted subscription price if that subscription has been proactively cancelled by the customer. And yours has been cancelled one month before the renewal. If you had a payment issue and the cancellation was related to that - we would definitely keep the price at the original level.

Have a nice day and let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Kristina

I had a scary issue…

I had a scary issue concerning a hard drive crash and fear of loosing 5000+ images. I searched the user forum and found nothing. Reached out to tech support and had an answer with a really simple and straight forward solution pretty much within the hour.
Thank you Victor at Capture One support.

Bad customer service

Great product, but worst customer service.
Every time there is a problem with the software and you are trying to seek help, you either get a completely ignorant reply or nothing.
The software which is not cheap is very often obsolete and you need a new upgrade.
As a professional you never feel that you can rely on getting any help when your product suddenly doesn't work. Very frustrating and I wish there was a similar product out there where they would actually take care of their customers.

Hi Mikkel,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and we're sorry that our customer support didn't meet your expectations. We always aim to provide quick and efficient support, so we will take steps to improve that process.

We do have some automations in place, which get triggered by a certain condition - from what I can see it's an unsupported set-up in your case. This is the main reason why you get an automated reply first. However, I can see that you got a follow-up reply from one of our support agents on your last support ticket.

I will see if we can do something to change automated messages receival in such cases, but in general we only send this message because in most cases issues are coming exactly from the unsupported software set-up, and we are not able to troubleshoot them further.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know!


Kind regards,
Kristina

Wow....incredible lack of support

Wow....incredible lack of support - the form on the website is broken and the bot is useless. Compared to Adobe support they are woeful. Software is good but I think I'll have to give up and use Lightroom instead. Oh wait Light room doesn't support tethering for `Fuji cameras - whats wrong with these people?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and we are sorry to hear about your issues when trying to reach out to Customer Support.

We did not have any issues with the support page lately, so it must be something on your side. Did you try to use a different browser or a different device to submit a request? Here is the link you can use: https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

If you did submit a request but are still waiting for your reply - please, let me know your support case number, so that I can help you check on it.

Kind regards,
Kristina

Another great customer service experience.

Customer service is always helpful and prompt. This one took a bit longer than most, perhaps because my question took some time to assess required a detailed, video screen shot answer using the image I submitted. The reply significantly improved my understanding of healing and cloning layers.

Capture One is an exceptional photography development software. In addition, I have found the support team to be outstanding - friendly people who go out of their way to resolve any issue that may arise.

Got a Sony version with camera

Got a Sony version with camera. Suddenly they deactivated the product with no warning and this rude message, showing this company care for their customers:
"I purchased Capture One Express with my camera. How is it possible for you to deactivate my license?
While Capture One Express may have been bundled with certain cameras, it has always been available as a free software. The license provided with the camera purchase does not entail a monetary transaction for the software itself."

Hi Suraj,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

It is true that Capture One Express has been a free product since the very first version of it. If your camera provider has communicated something different during the purchase - this is definitely misleading and I'm sorry for that.

We have started communication regarding product deprecation back in December 2023, about 3 months before the actual deprecation, as we wanted to make sure that our users that have Capture One Express are well aware and ready for the change.

If you have any further questions or concerns - please, make sure to reach out to our Customer Support team through this page: https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Kind regards,
Kristina

Problem with moving files solved

A few weeks ago I submitted a support request regarding C1 not moving files. The C1 support desk collected additional info from me and concluded that it was an issue that would need further investigation. They tried to help me through a workaround that unfortunately didn't work. However, in the next software release the problem disappeared. Happy customer!

Quick response and helpful attitude

Bugs do happen and when a new camera arrives it doesn’t always go according to plan. I encountered an issue with DNG files created from Nikon Z8 RAW files. I submitted a bug report and uploaded the log files and screen recordings of what was happening. I was prepared for a long wait and a workaround but in fact I was contacted quickly by CaptureOne support and explained the issue more precisely. Despite being told not to get my hopes up, a fix was released a couple of days later. That’s how it should be done !!

Quick bug-fix

Had a crash issue due to a file-bug.
I sent a Bug-report and after a short back and forth with the support-crew to pinpoint the error - they updated the application a couple of days later having fixed the bug.
