![]() I use Capture One Variants all the time to try out and save different image treatments and now, at last, these Variants can be stored in different albums and are no longer locked in a group. This does not include layer masks, so you can’t set yourself up with one-click graduated filter Styles for landscapes, for example, but it’s still extremely useful because it means the adjustments that go to make up a Style can now be separated and masked individually.Īnother new feature is the ability to change the capture time of images, which will be a huge thing for any photographers who’ve ever forgotten to set their camera’s time and date correctly, or who need to synchronise shots from multiple cameras. The ability to save layers in Styles is new too. It works really well! It’s lifted the rather dark and muddy tones in this image (left) to recreate the bright warm tones of my reference image (the ‘after’ version is on the right of this split screen view). Initially it’s been optimized for wedding and event photography. The new Smart Adjustments feature matches Exposure and White Balance settings across a batch of images. You can set a ‘reference’ photo with the look you like and then Capture One will adjust the Exposure, White Balance or both across the rest of your images to give them the same look. The Smart Adjustments feature looks interesting too, especially for wedding or event photographers, for example, who are shooting under rapidly changing conditions. I’ve written a separate post on how to use the Capture One Cull view. It attempts to group similar images and offers tools for previewing and comparing as you work out which are the ‘keepers’. One of my favorites is the new Cull view, which can be used both when importing images and when sorting through images you’ve already imported into your catalog. ![]() Image credit: Rod LawtonĬapture One 23 brings a number of significant improvements. What’s new in Capture One 23? Capture One’s new Cull view is extremely useful for thinning out duplicates and technical failures in long photo shoots and picking out the ‘keepers’. ![]() Like Lightroom, Capture One can organise your images in flexible, searchable databases, or ‘catalogs’, and both can apply non-destructive adjustments to your images, working seamlessly across RAW files, JPEGs, TIFFs and even Photoshop PSD files. Be aware, though, that it’s around 2-3 times the price that Lightroom Classic ever was to buy, and that the monthly subscription for Capture One is more than twice that for the Adobe Photography Plan – and you don’t get all the extras provided by Adobe such as Photoshop and cloud storage. This looks like it’s designed for a tethered shooting workflow and not as a Lightroom mobile style app that synchronizes with a cloud-based photo library.Ĭapture One 23 is available both for a single one-off fee or on subscription. There is also a Capture One for iPad, sold separately, which I have not tested yet. The free version allows a single session at a time lasting no more than 24 hours, but that may be enough on its own – or may give you an idea about the usefulness of the full version.

It was previously owned and published by Danish company Phase One, which also makes high-end medium format studio and field cameras, but it’s since been split and is now published and sold separately. Image credit: Rod LawtonĬapture One 23 is an all-in-one image capture, organising and editing program aimed mainly at professional photographers. Image credit: Rod Lawton It’s also a powerful non-destructive editor, both for technical corrections and powerful creative ‘looks’. What is Capture One 23? Capture One is a powerful image cataloguing tool in the same vein as Lightroom but with support for a wider variety of workflows.
