Kim Kaiser amongst Pryor Mountain Wild Horses

Kim Kaiser is a many-sided nature photographer who takes authentic images and who takes the time to get the right shot. Read his colorful reportage from the Pryor Mountains, where wild horses live, love and fight.



As most quality minded photographers, Kim Kaiser is processing his images in Capture One and we’re proud to show our RAWNEWS-Readers images from the wild-wild west.

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.

Capture One @ 4: The Icon Evolves

Featured photographer Nick Wilcox-Brown, England

Making changes to a popular application are never easy. There are always the few that will declare undying passion for the way things were and vociferously oppose any form of change.



Capture One version 4 represents a quantum leap forward for Phase One, both in terms of interface and processing technology.

Change is good and there is no question that the interface needed not only a freshen up, but to become truly cross platform like its younger competitors. As time passes, doubtless the new interface will grow on even the most hardened professionals.

Award-winning Photography

Featured photographer Drew Gardner, London, UK.

Drew Gardner's Alice series has been nominated for The AOP Photographers’ Awards one of the highest accolades within the professional photographic industry.

As a fashion photographer, he has chosen to make magic out of a wardrobe by evoking a very specific mood through fanciful places. He calls it,Epic Fashion photography- an approach that takes fashion to a cinematographic level. The vision is compelling.



I was yearning for greater quality than any DSLR is capable of delivering. So I went out and bought a Phase One P 25 digital back. At the time I wondered what I had done; how could I have just spent so much money? But, in fact, I’d opened the door to a whole new era of my career, one that I could never have touched before; I had come upon opportunities that couldn’t have existed before. It was an epiphany.

A key difference is that the digital back captures in16-bit, whereas a DSLR typically captures in 12-bit. This is what gives you incredible color depth. It renders more natural looking colors, and because it’s giving you so much more data to work with, you get greater dynamic range - more latitude in adjusting exposure afterwards in RAW, without losing image quality. You also get incredible resolution and no noise.



Image Processing

In the early days of shooting digital, I thought I didn’t have to worry about exposures, that I could fix it all later. After spending three days clearing up themess from one shoot, I knew I had to make digital work for me or go back to film. I knew I had to get it right – so I went back to the basics. I started to shoot as if I were shooting on transparencies. Once I did that, I turned the corner. Also, up until then, I had tried all kinds of ways to process my RAW photo images. Then I found Phase One Capture One PRO. I found that it delivers great colors, low noise, and is very intuitive to use. You can sit down and learn it pretty easily - you don’t need a big book.

The features I rely on the most are the Color Editor, the Overlay Utility and Styles.
