Teamwork are still giving away 6 Express IIRC.
I use 7 and echo Carl's view that it is the best, if you get your head around it (I know a few who can't, that said I couldn't get on with LR unlike most).

Yes. Try shooting Raw and experimenting, or if you don't shoot raw you will get little out of it

I got a free copy of 6 express in the spring. I tried it but didn't really got on with it, think I am to used to LR.
Also I wasn't a fan of the files it spat out all over the place. Much prefer the single large catalogue over settings files with the raws. I may be doing something wrong here though as C1 seems to also have a main folder also.
Quality wise I was happy with the results but didn't find them any better or worse than LR really.

v7 will work better for you Chris, you can keep everything in a single catalogue.
I personally prefer each project to be in a session, and then use Media Pro to keep hold of the main catalogue of complete, edited and keyworded images.

I would give it a go but I'm currently invested in LR4 and happy. Maybe I'll give it a go in future before I upgrade to LR5.

There is a Lightroom conversion tool which has just been launched.
If you can get your head around C1 I find it outputs the best files from any of the big raw converters, LR, Aperture, Camera Raw etc.

I installed Capture One having got it with the magazine. I give it my usual test of seeing how far I can get without looking at any instructions, 
and nothing. 
Couldn't even open an image. 
Unless it did something amazing that other RAW processing programs did, I can't be bothered putting that much work into something. :shrug:

To me it does, heavy learning curve but the best images in terms of quality IMHO

Just downloaded CaptureOne Express 6,free from a magazine. Funds are tight so LR4 is out of the question at present. Maybe I'll like maybe not, haven't really used LR so nothing to compare with
My advice is stick with it. It takes a lot of time to get into, but once you do it really is worth it. Such a deal to get it for free too.
