Capture One 21 Is Here

A game-changing Speed Edit tool and the most authentic colors yet. Discover the new features that will transform the way you edit and create.

New Features & Improvements:

Speed Edit

Revolutionize how fast you edit photos. Speed Edit lets you work seamlessly without touching a slider on the interface – simply hold down selected hotkeys and scroll, drag or use the arrow keys to make rapid edits. You can even adjust multiple photos at once for the fastest ever batch edit.

Dehaze

Eliminate haze and reduce flatness in your images – all in one slider. The powerful new Dehaze tool automatically adjusts contrast, saturation and other elements in flat photos.

Faster Asset Management

Get seamless asset management. With increased power and speed, it’s now faster than ever to import, search and browse photos in Catalogs and Sessions.

Improved Importer

Start smooth and save disk space. High-resolution thumbnails make it easy to select images directly in the importer – and cull the ones you don’t want. Plus, import images from different folders at once.

Enhanced Tooltips

Navigate the Capture One interface with ease – simply hover over a tool for a quick explanation of how it works and links for more learning. Enable or disable them from Preferences as you like.

Learn

It’s never been easier to master Capture One. With the new “Learn” button, quickly access a curated selection of tutorials designed to help you learn step-by-step.

HEIC support

With support for HEIC files (8-bit), you can now edit photos from your Apple devices and more in Capture One.

New ProStandard Profiles

Stay true to real life with the most authentic colors yet. These new camera profiles preserve original colors better than ever, protecting hues from changes caused by contrast. A game changer for portrait and product photography – and any image that relies on authentic color.

Capture One 21 System Requirements

We recommend that your computer has at least the minimum specifications outlined below to run Capture One 21.

Microsoft® Windows® minimum requirements

• Intel or AMD CPU with 2 cores
• 8 GB of RAM
• 10 GB of free hard disk space
• Calibrated monitor with 1280x800, 24-bit resolution at 96dpi
• Windows 8.1® 64-bit, Windows 10® 64-bit*

*Support for Capture One 21 on Windows 10 is supported for builds supporting .NET 4.7 - This is currently from build 1607 through to build 20H2.

Apple® Macintosh® minimum requirements

• Intel® Core™ i3 (1st generation)
• 8 GB of RAM
• 10 GB of free hard disk space
• Calibrated monitor with 1280x800, 24-bit resolution at 96dpi
• macOS 10.13, macOS 10.14, macOS 10.15, maxOS 11.0*

*MacOS 11.0 is supported for builds up to 11.0.1

Recommended system requirements

If working with high-resolution images and doing calculation-heavy adjustments we recommend the following:

• Intel CPU with 4+ cores or better
• 16+GB of RAM or more
• Solid State Disk (SSD)
• Dual (matching) Graphics card from NVIDIA or AMD with 4GB+ RAM per card
• Calibrated monitor with at least 1920x1200, 24-bit resolution at 96dpi

NOTE: Due to the significant additional calculation overhead, systems using 4k/5k monitors will require extra resources in addition to the above-recommended specification (both in GPU and CPU power). For professional experience, we recommend at least doubling the specification above for these configurations.

Generally speaking, the more RAM available to the graphics card and the more CUDA cores (NVIDIA) and Stream Processors (AMD), the higher the performance gain.
