Capture One Problem

[markfireblade]

Apologies if this has been covered before.

 

I've been trying to install Capture One Express on my PC. It downloads OK but won't install as it insists on having a 64 bit version of Windows - I have 32 bit Windows 10.

 

Is there a 32 bit version? I wasn't given any options when I started the download or install process....

 

Thanks

Mark

If you do get it to run in 32 its going to be VERY laggy, this program needs lots of power and memory.  

 

I had it running on an older 64 bit system, and it was many seconds after moving an adjustment slider to see the effect.  Local adjustment in layers was unusable because I couldn't draw the masks in real time.

I won't be able to get it to run on a 32 bit setup as it refuses to install. Saves me the frustration I suppose.

 

Looks like I'll have to update my Win 10 to 64 bit, they do a free update download... Also get some more RAM.

These are worthwhile upgrades, so even if it feels frustrating, CaptureOne is doing you a favour.

 

When I had 8Gb ram, I couldn't run any other programs alongside C1, or my memory would run out.

I'm having trouble getting a normal Win 10 update to install at the moment so I think I need to sort that out first... :-(

 

Must be some sort of issue with the install I already have, dammit.

If you have the time, it's always worthwhile to do a clean install. It's quite simple these days as you can make a bootable USB drive directly on Microsoft's web page.

[markfireblade]

Yes, I think that will be the best thing, sort everything at one go...

It's a bit boring to reinstall all apps, but usually it's faster and less frustrating than continuously wrestling with a faulty Windows installation.

Does doing this leave your data (photos etc) intact, or does everything get deleted?

[Guest Jaf-Photo]

You can choose whether to delete or keep files.

 

Never a good idea to have them on the system disk, though.

[markfireblade]

OK cool thanks. I'll stick them all on our external drive and leave them there...

[markfireblade]

Done the upgrade, all OK, more RAM on order....

[Guest Jaf-Photo]

Cool, is C1 installed and running ok?

[markfireblade]

Installed and runs OK thanks, no chance to try it out yet though....
