Ahead of next week’s Photokina, Capture One 5.2 has been released with some major enhancements.

Capture Integration will be testing this new version of Capture One. Until then we recommend customers follow the same general advice as always. If you are a professional photographer depending on your computer as a tool to accomplish his work that you should not update their software or operating-system until:

  • the update has been out long enough to give a sense of whether it contains any nasty bugs that would slow down your workflow, waste your time, or worse.
  • you have time to make a complete bootable backup of your system in case you need it
  • you have time to do a complete test of anything critical you do on your computer (tethering, processing, retouching, printing etc)

Also, we recommend you follow our Capture One Uninstall Instructions to remove any previous version of Capture One from your computer before updating to a new version (rather than simply overwriting the previous version).

From the release notes:

  • LCC based dust removal.
  • LCC support for Leaf portable files (also used for tethered operation)
  • LCC support for large number of DSLR RAW formats.
  • Live View support for Leaf backs and Mamiya DM systems.
  • Significantly improved tethered performance for Leaf Aptus II series backs.
  • Updated firmware for selected Leaf backs and Mamiya DM systems.
  • More camera controls supported for some cameras.
  • Preferences to disable tethered support based on camera make.
  • Color tag in processed file.
  • New lens profile for Phase One 35mm lens
  • New lens profile for Schneider Kreuznach LS 110mm lens.
  • Improved P65+ image quality.
  • Improved colors and consistency on a number of Nikon cameras (*)
  • Improved tone response in ISO mode L1.0, L0.7 and L0.3 for a number of Nikon cameras (*)
  • A number of bug fixes.

Note: For an unknown reason P65+ Live Preview does not work in Capture One 5.2. This should be addressed soon in a service update. If you rely on Live Preview and use a P65+ we suggest against updating to 5.2.
