I want to try out the Nikon version, when I download Capture One Express Nikon and install, it says Express Fujifilm when opening the program. Appears some form of error in the 13.1.1 DMG file. Thanks
Hi Shane,
Thank you for the comment.
Please, let me know which Capture One version are you currently using (13.1.0 or 13.1.1)?
Thanks,
Lily

Hi,
Thank you for the comment.
I have forwarded your request to the Support Team. They will get back to you soon,
Hi, I am new to Capture One. I've downloaded the Capture One Express Sony version. I am not able to find the healing / clone tool. Can you please elaborate as to why not.
Thank you
Hi Alicia,
Thank you for the comment.
Please note that Capture One Express has a limited number of features compared to the full version.
Thus, the Heal and Clone tools are not available in Capture One Express.
Bonjour,
Je viens d'acheter CAPTURE ONE 20 PRO version 13.1.3.13 (Licence perpétuelle).
Je n'ai pas l'option "ProPhoto" dans "Affichage", "Profil d'Epreuve". Pourquoi?
Merci.
Hello, I just purchased CAPTURE ONE 20 PRO version 13.1.3.13 (Perpetual license). I don't have the "ProPhoto" option in "View", "Proof Profile". Why? Thank you.Hi Philippe,
If the profile is not on the list, you can always add it manually.
Here are the articles with the instructions on how you can add ICC profiles to be displayed in Capture One.
How to install ICC profiles?
Pity healing/clone isn't included in Express for Sony, that makes it pretty much useless, I still have to go to Photoshop or Lightroom to do something that's central to any workflow these days!
Hello,
I'm an old and loyal user of CO (since CO8) and at that time CO for Nikon didn't exist. But now it does, and my question is : What kind of upgrade should I do ? I have CO 20 and work only with Nikon.
Thank you and best regards.

Hi André,
Thank you for the comment.
There are several available options for upgrade:
- upgrading to Capture One Pro 21;
- getting a monthly subscription for Capture One for Nikon.
It is not possible to downgrade the perpetual license and switch to Nikon from Pro, so a monthly subscription could be an option in case you would like to use the latest version of the software.
I have deliberately downloaded capture fuji, can I also install it on my macbook
Hi Henk,
Which Capture One license key do you have?
You can install Capture One on another computer but its activation will depend on the number of available activations per your license key.
I just downloaded CO Express for my Fuji X-S10. Why can't I import photos directly from my camera via USB-C cable? When I plug the camera in nothing happens and I can't find the camera in the "import" locations. I find this strange since I can find my camera in Lightroom and also in the Photos App on my Macbook Pro. So is something wrong? Is there a setting in Capture One that I need to change? Thank you for your help.
