Support for Capture One 4 PRO

The Phase One support team have been very busy to make sure that resources are available for Capture One 4 PRO users. Select the Latest 10 articles in the Knowledge Base to see some of the new materials. As well, download the Capture One 4 User Guide (all versions).

Additional resources to consider from support includes the User Forum. If you are not a member of our forum, register and enjoy sharing ideas and comments.
Capture One 4 PRO software is now available for download! This is a landmark software release for Phase One and we are introducing many new changes.

Our R&D team have worked hard to develop a software architecture that can be quickly updated for new DSLR support and new features or functions. This new architecture is an engineering marvel that will allow us to keep up to rapid OS changes for both Mac and PC. I am also proud to note that both Mac and PC versions now look and operate in a similar manner.

The most important aspect of Capture One 4 PRO is that the functionality and workflow of version 3 is retained with all of the enhanced quality advantages of Capture One 4 PRO! The ColorEditor is now integrated, Styles are enhanced, and new creative tools have been added. Our breakthrough Lens tools prove that world class optical correction can be applied to almost any lens with spectacular results, regardless of camera platform.

If you have not had a chance to see Capture One 4 PRO in action, download a free 30 day trial and enjoy some new creative freedom!

We have a great story on the image for the new Capture One 4 PRO box by Tim Griffith. The architectural work of Tim Griffith is so focussed upon capture and with our own focus upon capture it seemed like the perfect opportunity to work with a creative icon. Look for the whole story on Tim's shoot in the next issue of RAWNEWS+.

Capture One 4: Working with the pro’s

We recently invited 3 international photographers for a talk regarding the new Capture One 4. These professionals have all been testing Capture One 4 for some time and we asked them for feedback on how Capture One 4 can support their work.



To these photographers Capture One 4 is not just new packaging; Capture One 4 means improved speed, quality and tools, without compromising the basic intuitive workflow Capture One is known for.

The PRO version – where is it?

Capture One 4 is an update to Capture One 3.7.x. LE. Therefore PRO features are not yet available in Capture One 4.

The next generation of PRO software is based on the new application platform and design of Capture One 4 as well as the feature set of Capture One 3.7.x PRO. We are aware that many of you are waiting impatiently for features such as tethered shooting and other PRO features, however the foundation (i.e. application platform) has to be in place before we implement the PRO features.

We will of course keep you updated on the release schedule of PRO both in RAW NEWS and through our web site www.phaseone.com

In the meantime, take a look at Capture One 4 as it is today! The workflow, features, speed and out of the box image quality – it has all been improved.

We realize it takes time to get used to new ways of working, so here is a good chance to explore the new features, get to know the workflow and the improved user interface. Check out the workflow videos on the new application here: http://www.phaseone.com/4/

We are grateful for the feedback and encourage all of you to give your perspectives either through the user forum or as feedback directly through the application.
We build software on the latest technologies and containing the features that are essential to obtaining superior image quality. On top of that, we take pride in offering a simple and logical user interface and an efficient workflow.

Having launched the beta version of Capture One 4, we now continue to chase bugs and improve features, such as extended camera support and optimized speed on all computers.

In addition to the broad input provided by photographers trying out the beta software, we are working together with an expert panel of photographers in the finalization of Capture One 4. This is of course a continuous work and it means that an improved release candidate will be released later this year and upon thorough testing we will launch the final version of Capture One 4.

We asked photographer Nick Wilcox-Brown to test Capture One 4 beta and share his impressions. You can see the result in the article below .

It’s important for photographers to realize that we are in a service industry. We are artists, but if your goal is to make money as well, you have to provide great customer service and understand how to market yourself. Fantastic images have to be a given.



Personally, I photograph mostly people and love working with people. With my subjects, I try to show off what is lovable or alluring about that person... even if it’s a grumpy business man. Everyone has something attractive about themself… even if it’s not skin deep. Sometimes a picture is showing what’s on the inside and not just the outside.

The team that I put together is also a key component to a great shoot and a happy Client. I like working with people who are passionate about what they do and work hard. I think part of what has made me profitable quickly is that I work my tail off and think big…. for my business and for each Client.



To have success when I shoot, the Client needs to walk away happy. The Capture One software helps not only my workflow but also it makes things easier on the Client during the shoot. While I’m shooting the Client or art director can sit with the digital tech and flag hero shots and compare shots side by side. I shoot everything in RAW format. At the end of the day the hero shots can be converted to TIFF files or whatever format is needed, and the Client can leave with those shots in hand.

Love what you photograph

By professional photographer René Riis, Spektrum Studios, Denmark.

Success in Food & Drinks photography
I believe that you have to be passionate about what you photograph in order to be successful. You have to be able to be fascinated by and see the beauty in different kinds of food from an oyster to salami. Beside that of course, you have to master photographic techniques.

New image style
I use a cook and food stylist for larger assignments to get the right look. We have very few food stylists in Denmark. It is a limited market and the qualified stylists live abroad where the demand is bigger.

Food photography is a bit like fashion photography; the stylists are able to give the images the final touch that makes the difference. Clients and agencies often ask me to recommend a stylist. They each have individual styles, and that style has to match the assignment.

Equipment
I shoot with a Phase One P 20 digital back, using Capture One PRO. Besides that I use Adobe® Photoshop and once in a while I rent a Canon IDs MKII.

Capture One gives me a good overview, it quickly browses through images and I see it as an essential part of my equipment – it is my darkroom. It is crucial that all RAW files are converted to the best image quality. I get that with Capture One.

I use the feature called Styles a lot. It is really nice that you can see the style change immediately on all images. It is much easier to create a new look with the Styles function as inspiration.

Today digital development and improvements are moving unbelievably fast. Still, I cannot recall the last time I had problems with my equipment. It is essential for my work that my digital back is working 100% of the time, especially when I have clients in the studio!

Live Preview currently supports Phase One's: P 45, P 30 and P 21 digital backs and will be an out-of-the-box feature with all the coming P+ digital backs.
