System requirements

We recommend that your computer has at least the minimum specifications outlined below to run Capture One.

Microsoft® Windows® minimum requirements
·         Intel® Core™ i3 (1st generation) / AMD Jaguar family
·         8 GB of RAM
·         10 GB of free hard disk space
·         Calibrated monitor with 1280x800, 24-bit resolution at 96dpi
·         Windows 10® 64-bit* or Windows 11® 
·         Internet connection to run Capture One Live

* Windows 10 is supported for versions from 20H2 through to 22H2.

 

Apple® Macintosh® minimum requirements
·         Intel® Core™ i3 (1st generation)
·         8 GB of RAM
·         10 GB of free hard disk space

·         Internet connection to run Capture One Live

* macOS is supported for versions up to 11.7, 12.6 and 13.4.

4k / 5k monitors

Due to the significant additional calculation overhead, systems using 4k/5k monitors will require additional resources in addition to the above-recommended spec (both in GPU and CPU power). For professional experience, we recommend at least doubling the specification above for these configurations.

 

Installation

The latest version of Capture One is compatible with the earlier 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, 12.x versions. It is recommended to migrate images from 4.x, 5.x., and 6.x to version 8.x before opening them in the latest version of the app. It is generally recommended that you only install one version of Capture One on any single computer. A single-user license allows up to 3 activations on computers that you own or of which you are the principal user. The license can be used with both Windows and Mac platforms. Multi-user licenses are also available from the Capture One web shop or from your retailer. Please read the release notes carefully before you install Capture One.

 

Install on Windows

To install the software please follow the procedure below.

  • Download the application from the Capture One website.
  • Run the executable software install file (.exe).
  • Carefully read and accept the license agreement presented.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Capture One will initiate the installation of Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.7 if you do not already have it.

Install on macOS

To install the software please follow the procedure below.

 

Manual update to the latest version

It is important to keep Capture One software updated. After the activation and registration, you will usually receive a newsletter reminder that an update is ready for download, although it can be more convenient to choose Capture One -> Check for Updates (Help -> Check for Updates on Windows). If your Capture One application is downloaded from www.captureone.com, it will always be the latest version. You can also schedule an automated update if needed by navigating to Capture One -> Preferences (Edit -> Preferences on Windows).

 

Recommendations and limitations

For all users

  • When you have disconnected a camera, do not reconnect a camera until the Camera tool status changes to "No Camera Attached".
  • DNG support not optimized for some cameras.

For other camera users

  • The following functionality is not supported for Fujifilm X-trans RAW files: processing/exporting to DNG.
  • Some cameras provide multishot functionality by way of (e.g.) multiple exposures or pixel shifting. In most cases, the functionality will not be available in Capture One, however, a single RAW file from the “stack” may be viewable and editable in Capture One (as if it was a shot in single Capture mode).

For digital back users

  • Unless otherwise specified for your Phase One camera system, do not open the shutter on the camera prior to opening the Live View window. Doing so will generate errors on the digital back after closing the Live View window. The recommended procedure for using Live View is to first open the Live View window, then open the shutter on the camera, use Live View as desired, when done, close the shutter on the camera, and close the Live View window.
  • Focus controls for iXR and iXA cameras are only supported by IQ and Credo backs.

Known Issues

Find a list of known issues for Capture One at the time of shipping.

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.
  • Using a non-US laptop keyboard 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

  • 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 website.
  • 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.
  • 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’.
  • Plays.TV/Raptr/RivaTuner installed along with some AMD devices can cause instability.

File support: Notes and limitations

The information here is subject to change. Some errors may be omitted. For issues and clarifications, contact Capture One Support via captureone.com/support

HEIC/HEIF support

  • Capture One supports HEIC/HEIF 8-bit files to the extent that the operating system supports the files. If you are on a Windows computer, you might need to download the two extensions “HEVC Video Extensions” and “HEIF Image Extensions” from Microsoft to enable support in Capture One.

Capture One DNG colors

  • DNG files from camera models with native support in Capture One will per default have their native Capture One colors applied. DNG files from camera models that are not natively supported in Capture One will have generic DNG Standard colors applied.
  • We do not support adjustments and settings from other applications embedded in DNG files.

Other file support

  • TIF/JPG/PSD/PNG files that are not in RGB color space cannot be adjusted within Capture One and will be read-only.
  • Layered Tiff: Capture One 9.1 onward can support Tiff files with alpha channel or layers saved in the file (from other apps like Adobe Photoshop) but for viewing purposes only. Reprocessing the image will result in a new flattened image.
  • PSD: Capture 10.1 onward can support PSD files in the viewer. The PSD can contain any adjustments, layers, text or smart objects but must be saved in Photoshop with “maximize compatibility” enabled. Reprocessing the image from Capture One will result in a new flattened image.

File size limitations

  • Smallest supported file for viewing: minimum side of 16 pixels.
  • Smallest supported file for editing: minimum side of 512 pixels.
  • Largest supported file: 715 megapixels or 65,000 pixels on the longest edge.

Camera support

  • RAW files support with known limitations listed in the notes section is available here . Special or auxiliary modes (like pixel shift) are only supported if noted.
