IMPORTANT: As of January 2022, we no longer offer versions of Capture One that are limited to supporting only one camera brand. Instead, we will simply offer Capture One Pro, which includes support for all camera brands.

All existing versions of Capture One will continue to work as it is. We will also continue to provide feature updates during the life of Capture One 22.

Questions and Answers

Why are you doing this?

We’re streamlining our existing offering of products so we can focus on our goal to become the most efficient E2E photography and collaboration platform for photographers. For example, next month we are launching Capture One Live, and in the spring you can expect our very first iOS app with Capture One for iPad.

We’ve also listened to feedback from our community and want to make sure our products fit the way you work. One of the things is making sure that you can work on as many types of RAW images as possible, regardless of whether they come from.

What does this mean for your relationships with camera manufacturers like Sony, Nikon & Fujifilm?

We continue to strengthen our very close collaboration with hardware manufacturers and we will continue to add specific profiles for cameras and lenses to Capture One software.
