System Requirements

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

Installation

Capture One 20.0.2 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 20.0.2. 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.

1. Download the application from the Capture One website.
2. Run the executable software install file (.exe).
3. Carefully read and accept the license agreement presented.
4. 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.

1. Download the application from the Capture One website.
2. Open the Capture One disk icon (.dmg).
3. Carefully read and accept the license agreement presented.
4. Drag the Capture One icon to the Applications folder.
5. Open Capture One from your Applications folder.

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 exposure 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).
• Live-view with Sony A7r IV and Sony A9 II is only supported via USB2 and not USB-C.

For digital back users

• Battery charging on IQ systems can cause issues with stability over Thunderbolt adapters or in low power devices such as laptops. Switch charging off in the digital back menu if you suffer repeated disconnections.
• For tethered shooting with Phase One or Credo digital backs make sure that your system can either supply at least 10W power via FireWire (more than most laptops can supply) or make sure to activate the “Force Battery” setting on the back. Use the 4.5m Phase One FireWire cable.
• For tethered shooting with Leaf Aptus and Mamiya DM digital backs make sure that your system can supply at least 12W of power via FireWire (more than most laptops can supply). Use a Leaf or Mamiya FireWire cable and repeater.
• 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.
• For Leaf Backs and Mamiya DM systems, the camera body must be selected in the application preferences before connecting the back.
• For Leaf Backs and Mamiya DM systems, in the case of a communication error during firmware upload, please wait 10 minutes before disconnecting the FireWire cable.
• Leaf Aptus II 8 only works with black and white Live View.
• Focus controls for iXR and iXA cameras are only supported by IQ and Credo backs.
• Orientation override does not work in live view for Leaf Aptus/AFi backs. Users wishing to lock orientation during live view should use the camera orientation setting.

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 web site.
• 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’.
• TV/Raptr/RivaTuner installed along with some AMD devices can cause instability.
• FireWire tethering is not supported for Windows 10 build 1903 and newer
  

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

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 16px.
• Smallest supported file for editing: minimum side of 512px.
• Largest supported file: Width x Height must be smaller than 40000 x 20000 pixels or sum thereof.

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.
