I was a Capture One user for 10 years and switched to Lightroom 2 years ago. I picked up an iPad Pro 11” M4 a few months ago and have liked it so much, I gave my MacBook Pro to my daughter (still have a Mac Studio) Now, I have a few months of shooting where I have to shoot tethered, so I subscribed to Capture One Mobile to use on the iPad. I have to say, I am impressed. It works flawlessly on the iPad. Images import virtually instantly. At least 10 times faster than the old MacBook Pro (16” 2017 MBP). Well done!

I was thinking of getting a M4 Pro Mac mini as an upgrade to my M2 Max laptop. Has anyone been using the new M4 Pro with COP ?? How do you find it speed with large catalog of files ?

I have Capture One 22 and now that I moved it onto my new M4 Pro Mac mini it is gobbling up RAM! Does anyone know if there is a fix? I looked at the cost of a new license but WOW that has skyrocketed since I last purchased. Also I'm curious if the new version is working well on the M4 Pro?

i was using the studio version of the program (16.5.0.2494 (5419c2) and today i changed for the enterprise version. i noticed that some things were missing on it, and i did not found the button to import a style for the program.

idk if they really are that different, or if there is any way that i could import a style for the enterprise version. can someone help me??

Hej folks, I am a huge fan from the look from the japanese photographer riki shinagawa. Inbought his presets some years ago but until today I wasnt able to produce a similar style in capture one. Maybe a lack of editing skill…

I got two probs, first the colors since his edits rely heavily on lr‘s camera calibration and second I m not getting the curves right…

Anyone got some ideas?

Hello,

I have a X-T2 and a X-T30II. Ive been using Capture One for long but today I stumbled on a question concerning the standard values of tools like Denoise and sharpening that are based on your camera model.

The X-T2 is no problem, it C1 uses a XT-2 profile. But on the X-T30II, it uses values of the X-T3. Logical if this would be the same sensor.. But the XT-30II got the same sensor and chip as the X-T4, (although not ibis).

So, should the standerd values of tools like denoise not be taken from an X-T4? Can I change this via a workaround?

Cheers Ranko

Hi, I have a question as the title. Basically I have a simple background grey color, using layer background ai tool created a mask. Now based on background mask I want to use gradient mask tool to create a gradient mask only gradient background. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys

I usually add a bit of negative distortion to wide angle group shots, so the people on the corners don't get too distorted. It's almost like simulating a fisheye.

In Lightroom this is easy, go to Lens Correction -> Manual -> Distortion and slide to left.

In C1 though, this seems to be missing. I can select a "Generic" profile on Lens Correction, but the distortion value can only be positive.

Anyone know of a way of doing this in Capture One?

No idea why but Capture One just hangs when exporting from any recipe, even on different sessions or catelogs. It makes some .jpg.tmp files and then maybe gets stuck for ages. I have to restart and try again. Sometimes that works and sometimes not.

EDIT: Mac OS 15.2 on an Macbook M3 Pro

Thinking about pulling the trigger on the lifetime license but wanted to make sure that the ipad/mobile version of capture one was included as well

Thank you for your time :)

I can't get the "reset" button's dropdown options to become active for any combination of images selected (one vs many), "edit selected" enabled or disabled... Is there a trick, or is this a bug?

I'm on the latest C1 (16.5.x) and Windows 11.I did eventually discover that the keyboard shortcuts do work. So, I can do a a "reset all except crop (which was the command I originally went to the button for) by typing ctrl-shift-R.

https://preview.redd.it/j3ugyhyclbbe1.png?width=347&format=png&auto=webp&s=5974073bd1c90e91231048c79ee4bee6785cfeab

A common question over the many years of C1's existence has been "Can I export my photos with a border/frame?", to which the most common response has been "bUt cAPtUrE OnE iS a RaW eDiToR!!!". Which really grinds my gears, but also shows lack of consistency in C1's offering.

1. C1 is not marketed as a raw editor. It's marketed as an end-to-end photo software solution for photographers.
2. C1 themselves frequently acknowledge the last mile of the process, which is posting photos online, including Instagram. Which requires a need to export photos optimized for Instagram. Can remember if C1 ships the IG export preset or not, but David has definitely showcased exporting for IG multiple times.

Now, if C1 ignores the aspect ratio elephant in the room (IG will crop photos beyond certain aspect ratios), then their own "optimized for Instagram" export becomes irrelevant, too. Say I export a photo optimized for IG, sharpened, and at 1080 px width. However, imagine I now have to add a border around it outside of Capture One to make it fit into IG's aspect ratio. This way, I inadvertently add more pixels to my output, which later will be shrunk down back to 1080px by Instagram again, breaking my "optimized" output out of Capture One. All (some) of that Capture One export optimization is now broken because of that rescaling. What does Capture One suggest in this situation?

Capture One, you can't both acknowledge that people need to export photos optimized for social media, and not close the loop on that fully, claiming to be "just a raw editor". Without the border functionality, exporting optimized for social media only works if the aspect ratio is kosher. Which it isn't always.

Stop hiding behind "I'm a raw editor" excuse - be the software you market yourself to be

As the title says. I'm starting to use C1 quite a bit as I continue in this journey, and seeing the denoising has never gone well here. I'm not super fussy about it cos I sometimes like the look, but the times I need to work on it, I'm completely stumped.

Also, is the workflow easy? Do I start with denoising and then go to C1? Or can I edit in C1 and end with DXO?

I'm wondering if a few of you on Windows can take maybe 60 seconds to see if you can reproduce this bug.

I'm dealing with support on a small bug with keyboard shortcut keys and they are telling me that they can't reproduce it and I have no trouble reproducing at all, even on a brand new, from scratch Capture One installation with all preferences and settings cleared and at their default, virgin state. It feels to me like they made no effort to actually try to reproduce it in the configuration that I reported it for. I'd like to find out if everyone else can easily see this issue or it is indeed somehow unique to my two systems.

The issue I observe is that attempting to use Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right to move by word when editing metadata doesn't move the cursor, but instead changes which image you are viewing and potentially loses what you just typed. That's because Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right are configured by default as shortcuts for moving to the next and previous image and those shortcut keys are still left active when trying to edit metadata. Just like single letter shortcut keystrokes aren't active when you're in a text edit field, the same should be true for other keyboard shortcuts. If you compare to Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End, those are active when the focus is in the filmstrip, but not active when the focus is in a text field editing the description. This is how Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right should be also.

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Open Capture One and select an image that is not at one end or the other of the filmstrip (so there are images before and after it).
2. Open the IPTC Content Metadata section.
3. Click the cursor into the Description field
4. Type several words in that field.
5. After you've typed several words and the cursor is at the end of what you typed, then hit Ctrl-Left.  Rather than the cursor just moving to the previous word, Capture One will change what image is displayed and you may lose what you just typed (it won't be saved for the image that you were previously typing it for)

I'd appreciate it if a few of you could tell me if you can reproduce this behavior or not. If you try, the please post your results (yes or no - you see the same issue) as a reply and state OS platform/version and Capture One version.

If this is indeed a generic issue that isn't unique to my system, I'd like to be able to tell Capture One that. If it happens in the latest version (which I don't have a license for), that would also be useful to know. And, if it happens on Mac, that would also be useful to know.

FYI, my work-around is to manually delete the built-in keyboard shortcuts for Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right so they don't cause this problem.

I got a new A7c and Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro lens. I understand that the lens is brand new and a lens profile in not exist in C1. But when I open any photo that I took with Tamron, the C1 recognize it as Sigma 90mm F2.8 DN lens.

I got it, C1 support for Tamron lenses are week. But at least I want it to leave the lens as unrecognized.

Is there anything I can do it make it right?

Passed their HQ today and saw a big for rent sign outside 🙀🙀

The Sony A7IV camera is connecting and tethering correctly on the imaging edge, but it does not appear in the Capture One Pro trial version, whether using a tether pro cable or wirelessly. All the remote PC settings on the camera are configured correctly. Is there a specific setting that needs to be adjusted in the software?

Happy New Year, C1 friends!

With the advances in masking, what do you guys use PS for now, if it's a part of your workflow? Is it advanced retouching? Is it for object removal? Compositing?

I'd love to read your thoughts/process.

I just finally learned about IPTC fields in C1, because it's taken me years to understand this program, and I have some questions - Someone told me to enter my info into "The" IPTC field in Metadata. Only to find that there's no one IPTC field. There are FIVE: Contact, Content, Image, Status, and Getty.

In short, what are these different ones even for? How do you decide which ones to use and when, and what is your criteria for using/not using. Is there a "main" one? And how am I to interpret what the first four are supposed to refer to? Contact? The creator of the contact? My event planner's mother, then. That's who created my contact for the shoot I was on. I truly do not understand, and I wonder if this is a Danish to English thing, like the gaffe where the devs used "backup" as a verb in the dropdown menu...

Is there something I can do about this? How can I properly edit it if the image is literally different depending on how zoomed in I am?

As of now, Adobe, On1, Luminar all can edit Sony A1 ii RAW.
what is taking Capture one the most expensive subscription software so long to do it?
It is the same sensor with possiblly one of the least updated flagship camera on the market.
