Dear Forum,

Today we have just launched the latest edition of Capture One! Capture One Pro 9.

https://www.phaseone.com/en/Products/Software/Capture-One-Pro/Highlights.aspx

We have built on existing features and improved the ones you know and use daily. Some highlights include..

- New Processing Engine
- New Color Editor Interface with the ability to create masks from Color selections
- LUMA Curves - i.e Luminance adjustment only with the power of the curve tool
- New brushing tools with Flow and Airbrush and easy straight line brushing.
- Curves now included as a Local Adjustments
- Keyword Library Manager and new Keyword tool
- Vastly improved rescaling engine
- Capture One Colors for DNG files

On a financial note each Capture One licence now gives you THREE installs. So you can cover your location system, office / studio system and home system. Even more value.

Here is an overview of what’s new…

On a personal note I will say that I didn’t look much into the new behaviour of the Contrast and Brightness sliders in the new processing engine at first. But I really must say it makes this rather rudimentary tool something special. Adding contrast to an image can often be a tough task, especially if you want to retain colors and saturation and not block up the blacks and ruin the highlights. The new processing engine does a great job of adding contrast in a subtle way. If you want even more control, then you have the Luma curve and the saturation slider at your disposal.

No doubt there will be some responses of “what about xyz tool??”. Remember, 9.0 is just the start and there is always more to come. Don’t forget throughout the life of Capture One 8 we added new features and tools, for example the Color Balance tool.

Thanks for the extra seat. Also helps for a user with Mac and Win environments. Bootcamp. Each instance is seen as a separate install even though they are on the same machine.

Just purchased the upgrade but couldn't activate. Could be me though.......

I received my 16 character code via email.

After installation, I opened C1 9.0 and clicked Activate.

There is not the usual 4 boxes to input the code, only one long box. So, when I input the 16 characters, (with or without the dash) I get Invalid Code and can't activate.

I'm Windows 10.

?

Thanks.

Hey D,

Got a screen shot?

Also windows has always had one box as opposed to 4. Can you try the code again?

David,

Working now. No idea why. Must have input a character incorrectly, though I did it three times.

Anyway, happy days.

D.

Ps. Advanced Colour Tool still giving readings that are higher than the RGB reading at the top of the screen. e.g Reading from Green Gretag colour patch; 95/129/115 at top of screen. 103/133/101 in Color Editor dialog. Gggrrrrr.......

Hi,

No idea if it makes a difference in your situation, but have you checked your Rendering intent setting in the preferences?
If you have, I agree with David, then support is available from Phase One. They will be better suited to drill down to what's causing that issue on your computer.

Cheers,
Bart

Hi David,
Great news, however, what about hobby photographers - we do not need 3 installs for a higher price tag. Any chance to have a version with one install only? That will do for me and other amateurs. It looks like Capture One is becoming less affordable for our group.

Regards
Maciek

Hi Maciek,

We have closer aligned Euro to Dollar pricing as it was a little out of adjustment.

If you want a more affordable option then there is always the subscription plan.

A little annoyed, as a long time customer, I wasn't able to avail of the 10% discount. (I didn't see it until it was too late)

Small money, but it's the principle that counts.

Per the bottom of our article:
If you purchased Capture One Pro 8 after October 30, 2015 your upgrade is free. Contact the dealer from whom you purchased Capture One for assistance accessing your free upgrade. [...] Otherwise the cost to upgrade from Capture One Pro 7 or Capture One Pro 8 is $99.

Pretty bad timing, I guess. Can't spend the money at this time. I will pass on it.
