First-time users will get a new dialog to help them get on board with Capture One.
Enter your e-mail address and password you use to log in to your account at captureone.com.
NOTE: If you do not have an account yet, please proceed to this page and enter the e-mail you would like to use for the Capture One account on the website and click on Create new account.
When the account creation is done, enter your credentials in the startup window.
Then enter your license code if you have any. If not, click on Don't have a license code yet to see the available options.
The onboarding adds the option to use sample images in your very first run, providing the option to start experimenting with Capture One’s tools and features without having to locate some raw files first.
Additionally, you get the option to lightly customize the interface of Capture One by deciding the location of your tools and your thumbnails in two easy steps.
After onboarding, create a Catalog or a Session to begin importing your images and working in Capture One. Go to the main menu and select File -> New Catalog/NewSession. A new document (i.e., Catalog/Session) is created and named (this can be renamed later if necessary). After creating a new document, you can import files from your card reader connected camera or folder.
A Catalog is more suitable for creating or maintaining an existing image library and is ideal for large, on-going projects. Although you can create numerous Catalogs, a Session is more convenient when working with smaller, individual projects. For example, you can simply create a separate Session folder for each download from a memory card, which you can name by date or project as per your existing naming strategy.
You are not forced to use one type of image management system over the other. You can create as many as you like (depending on disk space) and can switch between the different types at any time.

Your site is, so typical, designed for someone who is a computer nerd. I click on Capture One, "Show the World" and get nothing. That includes every other listing. Learn that everyone is not a computer nerd. Probably won't ever happen!!!!! As the saying goes remove head from where the sun doesn't shine.
i have accent but C1 say no ???
any help?
Hi Arek,
Thank you for the comment.
Please, let me know which product variant do you have the license code for now? (Capture One Pro/Express/trial, etc.).
Trial.
Hi Arek,
Thank you for the details provided.
Please note that the trial can be activated only online with the computer that is connected to the internet.

Once again the computer and tech nerds have no concept or K.I.S.S principle. I'm not a computer nerd and have found your software a real pain where the sun doesn't shine. Your software was recommended by a photographer I know. I have found it sever;y lacking in help for use in all areas. It is no where near Adobe, which I use now. Every thing is different. I've spent the last 2hrs trying to figure it out without success. this includes importing individual imagess to deleting catalogs I mistakenly imported. When I open Capture One the catalogs I thought I deleted still show up. Your so called tutorials are of no help. They are shown as if an individual is a computer nerd.
I'm sorry I paid the outrages amount for your software, since I bought the most expensive subscription, and will more than likely never renew it or recommend to anyone. I haven't even been able to access or even attempt to try the "ad extra I purchased. I have no idea how to even access them.
As usual there is no one to call and talk to about your software. Again as I say about technology sites there is no such thing as "ACTUAL CUSTOMER SERVICE." You'd think that a company would at least have the courtesy to mail a printed manual to subscribers.
Anyway, I seriously doubt if I'll get any reasonable response. Probably just a bunch of tech B.S that I won't understand.
