Note that users who have "hotter" computers than I do (or don't have huge catalogs!) may not find the speed bump as noticeable as I do. I HAD been debating replacing my iMac 5K with a new iMac Pro in the near future but now (and primarily because of the big performance bump when using Capture One 21), I feel I can hold off until the M1 iMacs are available.

Context is important here: I am using a "getting long in the tooth" iMac 5K as my primary "image management and image-editing" machine and with Capture One 20 (and all previous versions) I had been experiencing lags in performance when doing things like culling images in virtual "Smart Albums" in those very large catalogs. ![]() Well, at least for ME, this is the MOST impactful improvement in the new version of Capture One 21.

In fact, it's been my go-to raw processing and primary workflow tool since 2004.
