Installation
Capture One 20 (13.1.2) 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 Capture One 4.x, 5.x., or 6.x to Capture One 8.x before opening them in Capture One 20 (13.1.2). 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.
- 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.
- Download the application from the Capture One website.
- Open the Capture One disk icon (.dmg).
- Carefully read and accept the license agreement presented.
- Drag the Capture One icon to the Applications folder.
- 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 on Mac or Help -> Check for Updates on Windows. You can also check for updates by navigating to Capture One -> Preferences -> Update on Mac or Edit -> Preferences -> Update 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).
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. If the information provided is incomplete or you need specific information pertaining to support in Capture One, please create a support case - captureone.com/support.

Has the usability issue regarding brush selection been addressed?
The recent 13.1.1 release only partially fixed the problems that were introduced in 13.1.0.
If not, has a temporary eraser brush been implemented?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you.
Does "Fixed an issue where masks could fail to load after using Heal and Clone" refer to the Error Loading Adjustment Mask issue?
One further comment. Disappointing to see that after all this time nothing has been done about the broken keystone function.
"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."
Hi, if I generate a linear DNG file from Fuji X-H1 I can see that indeed C1's camera profile is applied, however why I am not able to use Film Simulation curves (I can select for example "Fujifilm ACROS", but nothing happens...
When will support the RF lens 15-35, 24-70, 70-200?
Hi Class A,
Thank you for the comment.
This release only includes changes and improvements mentioned above.
Hi Thomas,
In case you experienced the adjustment mask load error after using the Heal or Clone brush before, this should not be an issue any longer in Capture One 20 (13.1.2).
Hi Dee,
Thank you for your comment.
"DNG files from camera models with native support" come from supported Leica cameras, supported Ricoh cameras, and some other camera models listed here. Thus, the files from those cameras will have native Capture One colors applied.
All other DNG files are not natively supported in Capture One, thus, Fujifilm Film Simulations can't be applied to those DNGs.
Hi Jia-Hui Zhang,
I have placed your lens request in the corresponding thread - https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002718318?page=2#comment_360000796837
Dear Lily,
thank you for the clarification.
The reason I asked was that the release notes for 13.1.0 only mentioned new cursor looks and the introduction of two new brushes (for healing and cloning). There was no information that the previous universally applicable brush (shortcut 'B') would be removed.
I was hoping that further fixes to the usability issues introduced in 13.1.0 might just not be mentioned.
I won't be updating to 13.1.2 then. I didn't not even update to 13.1.0. on my production system because the improvements to healing are not worth the worse usability of the new brush interaction design. I won't upgrade to any paid future releases either until the usability issues have been fully addressed (my first post here points to two possible solutions).
I realise that you are probably not worried about losing one customer, but for the time being I won't be recommending Capture One Pro to others anymore as I find the lack of response to a clear issue that was only half-addressed in 13.1.1 very disconcerting. It certainly does not bode well for future productivity decisions.
I believe I attracted a number of new Capture One Pro customers while I was still very enthusiastic about the software and I'd much prefer to continue to be an (unofficial) ambassador for Capture One Pro but I cannot support the user interface in its current state.
"Hi Thomas,
In case you experienced the adjustment mask load error after using the Heal or Clone brush before, this should not be an issue any longer in Capture One 20 (13.1.2)."
Hi Lily,
I'm glad to hear that.
···
Addition. Unfortunately this issue appears to persist. I just got the error message for an image I edited today with the updated version of Capture One.
Do you have a rough idea when to expect a fix for the adjustment mask issue? It's been at least three months now, and working in Capture One is pointless as long as adjustments aren't saved.
I cannot complete the payment with the mastercard
On some pictures (FUJI X-T4) changing the camera profile curve (i.e. Fujifilm Monochrome) will not do anything. The same pictures have their thumbnails corrupted. Changing the profile to a standard one (Film Extra Shadow, Film Standard...) will change picture colors and get the thumbnail corrected.
Please add lens profile for Zeiss Milvus 35mm f1.4, Nikon Mount.
I want to log out of this account, but I cannot
I have another account and a subscription with the same name but Gmail
I feel bad about this program, it is bad for subscription
I cannot give you more than one star for this lousy program
@FirstName LastName – Writing here isn't likely to solve your problem.
What do I do? I only have to write here or give up the Fujifilm camera and return to Nikon or Canon. Their RAW files work very well with Adobe.
Can you believe that I cannot log off my goodness
You need to contact support.
Hello

If you're unable to contact support here, they're on Facebook and Twitter.
Thomas Kyhn I expect they closed the shop hahahahahah
Hi
yesterday I updated my mbp to Catalina 10.15.6, working with C1 Pro 13.1.2.37.
I know: never touch a running system, BUT this morning I was with my client for a shoot and C1 did not recognize my camera. Strangely, Canon's EOS Utility did (and saved me with a workaround).
Is this a known issue, are there any tips to solve it?
Hi,
I would love to renew my subscription asap however i am waiting for you to add the Sony FE 2.8 90mm macro lens to the list of supported lenses as at this stage i am completely unable to control the focus of the lens through the software making stacked focus product shots virtually impossible/ very time consuming.
Could you please tell me if and when this lens might be supported.
Thank you
Daryl
There's a thread for lens support requests here. (But don't expect anyone to answer any questions.)
Hi Daryl,
Thank you for your comment.
I have forwarded your lens request to the monitored thread on lens profiles support.
Meanwhile, please feel free to check this article - Exporting sequences to Helicon Focus for focus stacking
Thank you Lily and Thomas.
Lily - it was nice of you to send a link to a related article but unfortunately effective focus stacking isn't possible with out lens control via software.
Lens Request has been made. hopefully it can be added soon.
Cheers
