Here’s What’s New in Capture One Pro 10

Phase One has released a major update to its Capture One processing software, pushing the program to Version 10 and adding a host of new capabilities.

The software gets a speed boost during browsing, zooming and panning with OpenCL hardware acceleration enabled by default. You’ll find a new default workspace that offers image examples to help you get a jumpstart on your work.

Images can now be sharpened over three stages. First, there’s a new lens tool option that corrects lost sharpness caused by diffraction. Then, you can choose to sharpen the image globally or in part using a new Halo Suppression slider and blending algorithm. Finally, there’s a user-defined output sharpening tool with options to specify the distance from which the final output an image should be viewed.

Phase One has also improved Capture One’s on-screen proofing with the ability to simulate the final size, resolution, color, compression artifacts and sharpening of images in the viewing panel.

The software sports a new Tangent panel system inspired from video color grading applications. The panel lets you tweak color using multiple input commands simultaneously.

Tethered shooters will get a new camera focus tool module.
