Mine is at 0.55 too. I don't remember what it was before.

Here all data, except for Last month average CTR, has just disappeared from Alamy Measures.

Thanks for the information. I, for one, would find it very useful to be able to sort by 'date of upload'. Thomas

Hi Sophie, Thanks for replying. I just realized that they are actually on the site, I just had to go through a few pages to find them – I had expected them to come up at the top when I sort by Newest, but for some reason they didn't. I should have checked properly. Thomas

Recent photos (from last week) that appear as 'On sale' in the image manager still don't appear on the site.

Thanks. It worked for me around May 30 though. I don't think I had any issues last week either. But perhaps it's just generally unstable.

What's up with the data on the dashboard? It hasn't updated for several days. Does anyone know what's going on?

That's right. As far as I remember, there were minor improvements a few years back, but nothing that came anywhere near solving Capture One's fundamental issues with handling of catalogues. I've been in contact with their support department for a long time because of issues with unresponsiveness caused by Capture One's poor performance with larger catalogues, and there's no indication that anything will be done about it any time soon. Currently they appear to be focusing mostly on Capture One Live and integration with phones and tablets. I bought Photo Mechanic Plus hoping to be able to use it for cataloguing as a supplement to Capture One, but that didn't work very well, so I ended up using it solely for ingesting photos and editing GPS metadata. Peakto works much better with Capture One as it also shows edits and variants/virtual copies, and it has a much less clunky interface.

Capture One was split off from Phase One in 2019. And it has both sessions and catalogues; I think initially it only had sessions. As for tethering, they appear to have expanded their focus considerably beyond this usage. Many Capture One users don't use tethering at all, and if you look at their tutorials and live sessions, they're often about photography/editing that doesn't involve tethering.

One major difference between between Lightroom and Capture One, in my experience, is speed/responsiveness with larger catalogues. Whereas Lightroom brings up search results almost instantly, Capture One always becomes unresponsive for a while before bringing up the results, and the more images you have in a catalogue, the longer it's unresponsive. So far this part of the software has had very little priority, and there's no indication that it will be improved any time soon.

I switched from Lightroom to Capture One a few years ago and stayed with it because of its editing functions, and in spite of its poor database/catalogue function and lack of optimization for Apple Silicon. And Photo Mechanic Plus is no help, as (for one thing) its unable to show variants/virtual copies.

Worldwide, $$. Starch & ground pork.

I ended up buying the Eizo CS2740, and so far I'm happy with it. I still need to get a calibrator though.

Thanks for your reply – and for the link. The BenQ SW271C is mentioned in the Eizo CS2740 review; it sounds like the latter is the better of the two. Being used to the hi-res display of the MacBook (3456 × 2234), I'd prefer no to go much lower.

I've asked about monitors before, a few years ago, but haven't yet made the switch from using the display on my MacBook Pro (currently 16-inch 2021) to using an actual monitor for photo editing. What I'm after is something that isn't too big, 27 inches maximum, but with a high resolution. I've looked at 24 inch BenQ and Eizo monitors, but they're only 1920 x 1200, so it may have to be 27 inches. The Eizo ColorEdge CG2700X looks good but is a bit too expensive. I imagine something at the price level of the BenQ SW271C and Eizo CS2740. Any opinions on these two? If anyone has suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
