where there’s smoke there’s fire

I received a tip that Capture One is rumored to release a new dedicated version for Nikon users (similar to what they have done for Sony and Fuji users):

The new Capture One for Nikon will bring all the power of Capture One to dedicated Nikon users at a reduced price point, including tailored profiles for supported Nikon cameras. Unlike other RAW processors, Capture One’s camera profiles are uniquely developed for each specific camera model, a process that requires the use of the camera in and out of a controlled lab in Copenhagen, where a team of specialists engage each new model in various scenarios. They then evaluate all the performance parameters such as color, sharpness, and noise across hundreds of images and uses that data to deliver a truly tailored profile, which ultimately provides the best post-processing experience. Capture One for Nikon, like the Pro version, brings this level of support for Nikon cameras, including their latest cameras like the Z6, Z7, and D6.

What do you think? Is it time to drop Adobe? Capture One still provides standalone versions of their products.
