Capture One Pro 9

Capture One Pro 9.1 – More Power. More Quality. More Precision

Today Phase One has released Capture One 9.1 that builds on the power, quality and precision of 9.0 – adding workflow accelerators and superior, integrated workflow experiences for the Phase One XF Camera System. Most notable are the sequencing options with XF – useful for bracketing, HDR, and focus stacking. Phase One has also partnered with Helicon Soft – maker of a widely-used focus stacking software Helicon Focus, to include a free license of Helicon Focus for users who have purchased an XF system.

Aside from a much higher level of integration with the XF system, Capture One Pro 9.1 also features a new Canon tethering system (finally including a rotatable Live View!!!), an under-the-hood overhaul of the file handling system in the Library bringing speed and stability, metadata that copies from shot to shot while tethering, advanced Uniformity controls in Color Editor’s Skin Tone tab, and a host of workflow shortcuts and improvements such as better support for Layered Tiffs, creating albums from a selection of images by SequenceID (with XF), Ratings, and Color Tags, resetting Import/Capture/Export Counters, changing Adjustment Layers, and a wide selection of bug fixes, newly supported cameras, and new lens profiles!

After thoroughly testing this release, we have found it stable for use in a production environment and recommend upgrading to this version.

Known Issues:

All users

  • Browsing folders containing unsupported image files may affect application performance.
  • Previews from earlier versions of Capture One may be updated. In some cases, this can affect the application performance the first time images are viewed in this version of Capture One.
  • If using a non US laptop keyboard it might be preferable to change some of the standard keyboard shortcuts.
  • Editing images in external applications other than Adobe Photoshop might result in unexpected behavior.
  • Operation under virtualization software (e.g Parallels, Hackintosh etc) may cause instability. We do not recommend you use these OS configurations.

Mac Users

  • It is only possible to show the Capture One toolbar in “Icon Only” mode.
  • Live View over USB can stall without the use of a repeater.

Windows Users

  • Windows drivers are required for some older models of Canon DSLR cameras to be able to shoot tethered. These drivers are available from Canon’s web site.
  • If you have Bonjour 2.0.3 installed you may experience problems with Capture Pilot. Bonjour 2.0.2 (shipping with Capture One 9) and 2.0.4 (shipped with iTunes) have been tested to work with Capture Pilot. To check the version number of Bonjour, go to ‘Control Panel’ and select ‘Programs and Features’.
  • Importing a catalog can result in the last picture not getting imported.
  • Operation under RAMDisk by Dataram is known to cause issues with disk labeling. Capture One is not supported with this configuration.
