I like that it had a one-time fee, but that the developers are always improving their product! It is easy to use and very comparable to Adobe Photoshop CC. I would absolutely recommend it to any other design freelancers out there!

Capture One Support is hard to contact and in my experience very little help at all. I have on one occasion been given entirely the wrong information by one of the support staff
