What's new in Capture One Pro 5
Capture One 5 offers you new and enhanced features which will allow you to enhance and develop RAW files with excellent color and detail reproduction. Capture One 5 is designed with an easy workflow in mind, and the simplified new user interface leaves more of the screen area to your images.
Expression Media Support New
- Easily add a selection of images to an Expression Media catalog.
- Preview images in Expression Media using Capture One’s default rendering.
- Transfer rating and color tag between applications by drag and dropping images.
- Create an album with images found by searching in Expression Media.
Advanced Noise Reduction New
Surface Smoothness helps you to gently smooth surfaces of similar color. E.g. car paint can be made to appear smooth while preserving the edge sharpness in the rest of the image. Fine Grain assists you to make high ISO images that appear too "processed" look more natural through introducing a small amount of fine grain into the processing. Used in combination with Surface Smoothness, this may significantly increase the quality of high ISO images.
Focus Mask New
Accelerate your image selection by using the Focus Mask for fast verification of image sharpness and focus. The Focus Mask is applied both to the image(s) in the viewer and to the thumbnails in the image browser. The Focus Mask is perfectly suited for portrait, wedding and fashion shoots.
Skin Tone Enhancer New
Achieve perfect, smooth and soft appearing skin tones with the Skin Tone Enhancer.
Watermark New
Enhance image rights protection and watermark your images. You are able to add a watermark with your logo or other information to every photo you output.
Local Copy and Apply New
Easily copy and apply individual image tool adjustments to other images and save time. Completely integrated with the Adjustments Clipboard for a seamless experience and improved efficiency.
RGB Levels and Curves New
RGB Levels and Curves provide a tool, which enables you to adjust individual color channels easily and to be creative with colors.
Inverted Color Editor Selection New
The new Inverted Color Editor Selection is perfect to create an image which is almost monochromatic but emphasizes one or more colors.
Focus Tool New
Get an instant, true view of image sharpness with the Focus tool. Use it as part of your fixed tool tab or drag it out as a floating tool.
Creative Vignetting Tool New
Add vignettes to the edges of your images for artistic effect (follows crop).
LCC based Light Falloff New
With LCC based Light Falloff you are able to even out color and intensity differences in the light and compensate for lens fall off.
Live Preview New
Speed up image composition, lighting, and focusing with Live Preview. Makes it possible for the photographer, art director, client, and others to easily view an image on a computer screen at the same time, in real-time. Especially useful with technical cameras. Live Preview is now available for both Mac and Windows and comes with improved performance.
Viewer Margin New
Improve evaluation of image composition and colors by setting a viewer margin (and proof margin).
Camera Support Enhanced
Capture One supports image files from the most popular DSLRs from Canon, Epson, Fuji, Konica Minolta, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax and Sony, as well as Phase One digital backs and selected Leaf and Mamiya digital backs.
Spot Removal Enhanced
One-click spot and dust spot removal. The new Spot Removal type is the fastest and most efficient way to remove imperfections in images. Dust spot removal allows you to select a group of images and remove dust spots from all images with just one click.
Color Editor Enhanced
Adjust colors in a smooth way with the Color Editor – and keep changes all natural with Smart Saturation. You have the opportunity to adjust colors either in larger areas using the basic tool, or select a narrow color space in the Advanced Color Editor tool. The Color Editor can also be used to tweak ICC color profiles.
Workspaces and Tool Tabs Enhanced
Customize your Workspace, Tools and Tool Tabs to make your personal workflow more efficient. Included in Capture One is a selection of best practice default workspaces.
Metadata Editing Enhanced
In Capture One, metadata refers to data that describes your image and how it was taken. The metadata tool adds multiline fields, GPS information, control of what metadata are included in processed files and a new preference which determines how to handle conflicting metadata during load.
Clarity Tool Enhanced
Use the Clarity Tool to improve hazy images by adjusting local contrast and a small amount of sharpness. The tool now allows negative clarity values, which helps you to smooth out local contrast in portrait images.
Workflow Accelerators Enhanced
Handle large volume shoots even faster with new and enhanced workflow accelerators. New functionality includes: new preference to disable JPEG/TIFF editing, aspect ratios available directly from the crop cursor tool, Auto icon and Style Selector items for the toolbar, as well as "Edit All Selected" feature which makes it possible to instantly perform adjustments on multiple images.
Tethered Capture Enhanced
Capture One PRO lets you shoot tethered with your Phase One digital back, selected Leaf and Mamiya digital backs, and with Canon or Nikon DSLRs, which means that you are capturing images directly into your computer without any interim storage. The latest version adds tethered support for a wide range of Leaf cameras as well as the latest Canon and Nikon DSLRs.
Multi-monitor Enhanced
Support for multiple monitors enables you to configure your workspace to manage image workflow and presentation more efficiently. The new Preview Image Size Preference allows a better and faster workflow when using large screens.
Web Contact Sheet Enhanced
Share your images easily. With the Web Contact Sheet you are able to generate all the thumbnails, full sized previews and HTML code required for the finished contact sheet. All the elements are stored on the desktop in a single folder for uploading to a website or sending to clients. The Web Contact Sheet now supports larger image sizes.
.EIP Enhanced
Enhanced Image Package is a convenient way of packing your master file for smooth cooperation with your customers. When the .EIP file is opened by Capture One on your client's computer, the image file will be seen exactly as you created it. The original untouched RAW file will be packed with your setting file and LCC profile. You also have the option to include ICC camera profiles in the .EIP package.
