This feature is available for Canon and Nikon cameras.

Snap to Eye

A new AI update to the Focus tool allows you to focus faster when shooting while tethered or culling through images. Capture One will zoom and pan to the nearest eye or face in your shots, enabling you to assess sharpness without manually zooming.

Easier Live Collaboration

You can now organise entire shoots into different folders covering everything from looks to setups under one link when working with sessions to easily share multiple folders simultaneously. For an improved workflow, there are now comments in-app so that when reviewers leave feedback with comments on your photos, they are synced in the Capture One app.

To ensure maximum efficiency, you can share photos directly with the image-sharing app Glass without leaving Capture One Pro.

May 2023 Update:

Improved AI Features

Capture One Pro has updated AI features to perform even better and enhance your work. Auto Dust Removal will automatically remove dust spots in multiple photos simultaneously while editing or even during import when enabled with Auto Adjust. Updates to Smart Adjustments allow you to achieve a similar look across numerous images of people, even if they were shot in varying lighting conditions, by automatically adjusting the White Balance and Exposure for each photo. Finally, with the new Face Focus, you can instantly get close-ups of faces during import to quickly review the sharpness of images.

Fast image previews, keyboard shortcuts, and wireless shooting on Fujifilm

Custom shortcuts for Styles and Edit With will streamline your editing process by making frequent tasks easily accessible. A single click is all it takes to apply preset styles to one or more photos, and you can send images to other applications with ease using shortcut commands for ‘Edit With’.

New Wireless Tethering for Fujifilm will enable you to shoot directly from Fujifilm cameras to Capture One Pro without wires. This will allow you to easily view, edit, and create your work without needing extra accessories.

Apple ProRaw Update

The 2023 Update

The Capture One Pro update further enriches this already expansive and award-winning photo editing software by introducing features designed to speed up the post-production process. The main areas of improvement include:

Smart Adjustments

Reduce editing time massively with Smart Adjustments. Get a similar look across photos that are shot under different lighting conditions by automatically adjusting Exposure and White Balance. Optimized for weddings, portraits, or any events and commercial photography featuring people.

Faster Culling

Cull images even faster. Rate and tag your photos directly in the importer or using the dedicated cull view once your images are already in Capture One Pro. Get an easier overview of similar images with an automatic group view, letting you choose your top selects even quicker. Plus, instant browsing allows you to click through your photos with zero delay.

Layers in Styles

Have more control over editing with Layers in Styles. Get full flexibility over your Style workflow with the ability to include Layers. Apply your edits to multiple Layers from a single Style, allowing for easy opacity control and versatility.

Change Capture Time

Ensure accurate order of photos for easier culling by changing capture time. When shooting with two or more cameras that are out of sync or capture time is set to the wrong time zone, easily adjust the time on each image so they appear chronologically. Culling is made easier by being presented with all images from certain moments or similar shots in the right order.

Variants in Albums

Easily sort image variants in separate albums, allowing for more efficient photo organisation.

Past Updates

Past updates have included such features as a Speed Edit which allows you to work seamlessly without using the slider on the interface. You can hold down hotkeys, scroll, drag or use arrow keys for quick edits. ProStandard profiles were added to offer more authentic colours that allow the preservation of original in-camera colours, protecting hues from changes caused by contrast. An update for Apple users enabled support for HEIC files (8-bit) which allows for Capture One Pro's editing workflow on Apple Mac devices. And, an update from Capture One Pro 21 was the “Learn tool” which was specifically designed to help new users learn Capture One Pro’s processes, offering quick access to curated tutorials.

Enhanced Features

You'll have access to tools such as Basic Colour Editor, the High Dynamic Range tool and plenty of other features making the basic post-production workflow more efficient. The Crop Tool incorporates visible handles that allow you to easily visualise and transform crops. You can instantaneously crop from the centre, lock the aspect ratio via modifier keys or rotate the crop.

In addition, some enhanced features found in the previous versions of Capture One Pro include the improved copy/application of layers. You can copy layers (including images with varying formats and sizes) and masks without replacing the existing layer on the destination photo. Other enhanced features include the Adjustment Clipboard, Browser Thumbnail Resolution (increased by 50%), and White Balance Picker which has been re-designed to deliver a much better consistency. In the past, the White Balance Picker's results could deviate depending on the noise of the image, an issue that has now been minimised.

User Interface

On top of the brand-new tools, some smaller changes have been made to elevate your workflow further. Text has been added to icons so that you can find tools quickly and conveniently; the adjustment clipboard has been simplified, and masking tools are now much more accessible. Keyboard shortcuts are customisable and feature new shortcuts for zoom, full screen, and focus mask amongst other functions. Capture One even offers all the smallest of details that you might not think of, including being able to adjust the viewer's background colour and get higher resolution thumbnails with just one click.

Support

Capture One Pro supports a wide variety of cameras and is constantly evolving to facilitate the latest cameras and lenses to cater to the needs of both enthusiasts and professionals. RAW support is offered for all flagship camera brands in addition to profiling and image correction support for lenses. Individual cameras' RAW formats are carefully evaluated and interpreted enabling the software to present images with the best fidelity.

Phase One prides itself on creating editing software capable of bringing out nuances and subtleties, suitable for any style of work. For lenses, corrections for various common optical issues including chromatic aberration are available as needed. Thanks to this, you have the best possible version of your image to work with.
