8 reasons to use Capture One Live on your next shoot

Tired of constant back and forth with clients and unnecessary delays taking up your precious time?

With Capture One Live – a real-time image-sharing tool that integrates seamlessly with Capture One Pro – you can instantly share your work with others and speed up your workflow leaving more time to do the things you love. Here are eight reasons to use Capture One Live to create a more efficient and collaborative workflow for your next photoshoot.

1. Have clients and colleagues join photoshoots anywhere in the world

Your clients/collaborators can join a photoshoot and view images as you shoot them from anywhere in the world. No need to fly across cities, countries, or continents for you or your clients, saving time and money. The freedom of location Capture One Live offers can also help you widen your client base outside of your local area.

2. View images in real-time on separate devices

Even if you are in the same location, Capture One Live can be useful. Your clients/collaborators who are on set can view images as you take them on any device with access to a browser. Not only does this leave your workstation free for you and only you, but it can help others feel more integrated with the process.

Whoever you choose to share the live link with can view, cull, proof, and select images in a web browser on a device of their choice.

3. Get instant feedback without exporting

Your clients/collaborators can provide feedback by rating, tagging and leaving comments* on your images using the Capture One Live sharing link you provide while you shoot. As they review the images, you can follow their feedback in real-time in your Capture One Pro collection or in the ‘Live’ link.

That means no more uploading, downloading, or transferring the images and emailing back and forth to get their feedback. Everything stays in one place so that you have a clear overview of what happens at all times.

*Comments for Capture One Live are currently in the beta phase and only viewable through the browser.

4. Get feedback on your edits

Capture One Live is not only for sharing during your shoot. Your clients/collaborators can also follow along as you edit your photos. Through their browser, they are able to watch the process at any step to get the best result, whether it is to approve a final edit or give input on different Styles or looks.

5. Leave your mark and keep your images safe from screenshotters

Concerned about people screenshotting your images in Capture One Live and using them without your consent? Don’t worry. You can add a watermark to your images in the Capture One Live menu making sure no one uses your images without your permission.

By adding a watermark to your images, you can also keep your brand at top of people’s minds when you are sharing a Live Session.

6. No need for screen-sharing

Capture One Live cuts out the need for messy screen-sharing over Teams or Zoom. Clients and collaborators can view the images in any browser and have full control over which image to view and how much time to spend on each image – a much better user experience for everyone involved.

Soon you will also be able to add comments in addition to tags and ratings, meaning all feedback from your clients and collaborators can be found within Capture One Live.

7. Keep your sessions live for as long as you need

When setting up your Live Session, you can choose how long you want to share the images – a day, a week, or longer. It’s up to you.

For those who want to do things at their own pace, the link that you share can stay live for up to a month – giving your clients/collaborators time to approve images and give you feedback. You can be away from your computer and close down Capture One Pro while this happens. Simply click “Resume sharing” when you return to your computer, and the ratings, and tags will sync to your Capture One Pro desktop app or check the Capture One Live link to see or respond to comments.

8. Pick and choose which images to share

If you don’t want to give your clients/collaborators complete access, you can choose which images you want to share. You can create a separate Album just for them and use keyboard shortcuts to move images back and forth (see more about that here).

The benefits speak for themselves – Capture One Live is the perfect way for you and your clients to make the most of a photoshoot, letting you save both time and money on reshoots.

If you are ready to let Capture One Live help make your life as a photographer run smoother, then click here to get started.

All you need to know about the latest update to Capture One Pro

Take your collaboration to the next level, get more freedom of movement on your shoots, and make your editing sessions quicker and easier than ever by updating your Capture One Pro desktop app from the 14th of June.

Here are seven improvements to get excited about in the latest update.

1. Make your Live Sessions longer

Give your clients and collaborators more time to review and give feedback on your images. With the latest update of Capture One Pro, Live sessions can last for up to one month, letting your clients view and rate the images in their own time and giving you more time to review their feedback.

2. Keep your shared images safe

Concerned about people screenshotting your images in Capture One Live and using them without your consent? Don’t worry. With the latest update, you can now find the option to add a watermark to your images in the Capture One Live menu making it easier to keep your images safe.

3. Commenting for Capture One Live is here

We hear you. Tags and ratings are fine and dandy, but when will you be able to add comments to images in a Capture One Live Session? The answer is now.

With the latest update, we are launching the beta test for comments. The clients or collaborators that you choose to share the Capture One Live link with can now add written feedback to the images as they come in or for as long as you keep the Session “live”.

For now, comments will only be viewable on the browser. But we are continuously working on improving the tool and in the not-so-distant future, comments will also sync to your Capture One Pro desktop app.

4. Get ready for Capture One for iPad

We know many of you are looking forward to working on the go with the Capture One iPad app later this month. To take full advantage of the flexibility that the iPad app offers and to use the cloud transfer to move your images from your iPad to your desktop, you need to be on the latest version of Capture One Pro.

Update from the 14th of June and be ready to explore the possibilities of Capture One for iPad from day one.

5. Unleashed – Wireless Tethering for Sony users

Since the launch of Capture One Pro 22 in December, Canon users have been able to get off the leash and get fast and reliable wireless tethering on their shoots. Sony camera owners can now enjoy the same freedom after installing the latest update to Capture One Pro.

Get those hard-to-reach angles, remove tripping hazards and clutter around your workspace, and get more freedom to move around the set without worrying about pulling all your equipment with you.

See which cameras are supported for wireless tethering here.

6. Introducing the Magic Eraser

Your wish is our command. The Magic Eraser is here to complete the magic brushing experience for anyone who works with Layers. As a counter tool to the Magic Brush, the Magic Eraser removes parts of a mask based on similarities in the image.

Update your software to make your masking workflow faster and cleaner than ever.

7. The tool panel is getting a new look

We are always working to make your editing experience as efficient and fast as possible. That is why the Tool Panel is getting a redesign.

With the latest update to Capture One Pro coming, you’ll find a refreshed Tool Panel design featuring new icons, offering a more intuitive, predictable design of the tool tabs. It also makes the experience of switching between iPad and desktop seamless so you can work even easier within the Capture One ecosystem going forward.

Additionally, a dedicated button has been added to make customization of the Tool Panel more discoverable. You can rearrange the panel as you please, so why not play with the placement of the tools you use the most to make it fit your workflow?

Capture One Releases Capture One 22 Update

New Capabilities, Improved Speed, and Enhanced Performance With Apple Silicon

COPENHAGEN, April 5, 2022: Capture One releases a dynamic and powerful update (15.2.0) to Capture One 22 that sees an entirely re-envisioned keystone tool, a slew of feature updates with expanded capabilities, and Apple silicon performance advancement that brings substantial speed improvements across a host of the most demanding and frequently used functions. This update also brings new camera and lens support for a number of the most recent hardware releases.

Reflecting Capture One’s ongoing commitment to the photographic community to continually evolve with feedback, there are a host of user experience improvements, and this release also marks a streamlining of the Capture One product line as subscription users of Brand licenses will have their product automatically changed to Pro, expanding functionality by enabling utility for all supported camera models and file types.

What’s New In Capture One 22 (15.2.0)

KeyStone Tool Redesign

The Keystone Tool has been redesigned with new functionality and a new user interface. The Tool is now split into two tabs, Guides and Sliders, making it easy to automatically apply corrections and as well as manually tweak the result afterwards, and Auto Keystone has been added for all camera models, allowing a swift and precise perspective correction of most images.

Auto Keystone

Let Capture One detect and correct the perspective automatically. By pressing the ‘Auto’ button in the Keystone Tool, lines in the image(s) are automatically detected, evaluated, and used for the correction. The result is a swift automatic correction with high precision.

By default, Auto Keystone will correct Vertical Keystone. This can be changed by simply selecting one of the other two guide modes to activate the cursor tool. The icon within the ‘Auto’ button will change accordingly and pressing it will instantly apply the desired correction. Auto Keystone works on batches of images.

Auto Keystone can also be triggered from the regular Auto Adjust functionality in the main toolbar. To do this, tick Keystone in the drop-down menu of Auto Adjust. Note that only Vertical Keystone is available from Auto Adjust. If Capture One is unable to detect suitable lines in the image, pressing ‘Auto’ will have no effect.

Tool Design

The Keystone Guides have been redesigned to easily place them with greater precision. Additionally, the precision of the guides can be fine-tuned using the keyboard arrows when a guide is selected.

The content of the Keystone Tool has been split into two tabs, ‘Guides’ and ‘Sliders’. Guides offers fully automatic and guided keystone options, while Sliders offers manual adjustments.

The new adjustment ‘Skew’ has been introduced to accommodate a wider range of perspective corrections

New underlying model

To allow the Keystone Tool to provide perfectly vertical and horizontal lines when correcting perspective using the Guides, the new adjustment type Skew has been introduced. Additionally, the default Amount is changed from 80 to 100. Decreasing this after using the Guides is useful in some scenarios where creating a more natural perspective is desired as opposed to perfectly vertical or horizontal lines.

Apple Silicon (M1) performance improvements

The following areas have been improved:

Preview generation is up to 100% faster.
Luma Mask rendering is up to 300% faster. This makes it faster to render the initial Luma Mask and significantly faster to tweak the luminosity range afterwards.
Feather and Refine Mask are up to 1,000% faster.
Fujifilm X-Trans raw loading is up to 100% faster, making the preview generation and rendering when zooming feel significantly faster on images from Fujifilm APS-C cameras.

Capture One Live session duration

The duration of individual Live Sessions can now be configured to 1, 3, 5, 7, or 14 days.

Improved Auto Rotate

The algorithm behind Auto Rotate has been improved, providing more accurate results on images where clear lines (such as horizons horizons) are visible.

Crop Aspect Ratio behavior

When changing the Aspect Ratio through the Crop Tool, the Crop will instantly snap to the new ratio. his makes it easier and more intuitive to work with different aspect ratios, as you don’t have to make a change to the crop for the new ratio to apply.

Drop-down menus behavior

Important functionality is no longer hidden behind drop-down that could only be accessed through long-pressing the icons. Instead, a redesign of these icons and menu behaviors makes it intuitive and easy to use. Most icons have gotten a downwards arrow that will open the menu, and all menus can be opened by right clicking their icons. The affected areas are:

All Cursor Tools
Export
Auto Adjust
Before & After
Recipe Proofing
Add New Layer
Add New Export Recipe

New customizable default sorting

Capture One has always sorted images by Name as default. This is not optimal when shooting with multiple cameras. Many users have asked to be able to sort by Date as default. This new functionality will make it possible to set a custom default sort criteria as well as direction.

New Camera & Lens Support

New Camera Support:

Phase One iXM-GS120

New Lens Support:

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 20mm F1.4 PRO
Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II + 2X Teleconverter
Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II + 1.4X Teleconverter
Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II
Canon RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM
Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | C
Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C

Capture One’s profiles are unlike any other and are the meticulous work of a dedicated team that carefully evaluates and interprets each camera’s RAW formats. This process allows Capture One to present images with the utmost fidelity, often bringing out nuances that other programs can’t even perceive.

Currently offering RAW support for more than 500 cameras, Capture One also provides profiling and image correction support for more than 500 lenses. As with the RAW file interpretation, Capture One carefully measures the optical characteristics of each supported lens and builds correction algorithms that compensate for the various optical imperfections of various designs. As a result, Capture One can correct numerous common optical issues such as vignette, and chromatic aberration as needed for each of the supported lenses, providing users with the best possible version of an image. As always, the team remains dedicated to adding increased support for the newest camera bodies and lenses.
