Denis Huk
  • Updated

Released on July 2, 2026, Capture One 16.8.3 is a service release that brings support for Hasselblad X2D 100C, X2DII 100C, and CFV 100C with dedicated color profiles and full RAW support on desktop and mobile, plus lens profiles for 19 Hasselblad XCD lenses. This release also includes bulk Publish and Delete for Actions in the Web-Based Admin Portal, improvements to Multi-User Sessions, and bug fixes.

Capture One 16.8.3 is backward compatible with Sessions and Catalogs created in previous 16.8 releases. Documents from Capture One 16.7.8 or earlier must be upgraded to open in Capture One 16.8.3. Once upgraded, they can't be opened in older versions unless restored from backup. Learn more about Upgrading a Session, Upgrading a Catalog, and Restoring from backup.

New features and functionality

Bulk Publish and Delete for Actions

Studio admins can now publish or delete Actions in bulk from the Web-Based Admin Portal. Select one or more Actions from the list and choose Publish or Delete.

For details, see Connectors and Actions.

 

User experience and performance improvements

Multi-User Session improvements

Connecting to a Multi-User Session from the Session list now shows a spinner while the connection is established, so you can see Capture One is working in the background.

When connecting to a Session, if a Session with the same name already exists at your chosen save location, Capture One now asks whether you want to open the existing one. This usually happens when reconnecting to a Session you've used before.

For details, see Multi-User Sessions.

 

Bug fixes

Windows

  • Fixed a bug where menus rendered incorrectly on setups with multiple screens running different resolutions or scaling settings.

 

Camera support

  • Hasselblad X2D 100C: file support.
  • Hasselblad X2DII 100C: file support.
  • Hasselblad CFV 100C: file support.

For details, see Camera Models and RAW Files Supported by Capture One.

 

Lens support

Lens profiles are included for all 19 Hasselblad XCD lenses below. Light falloff correction defaults to 100 for all profiles. Capture One performs a precise lens correction based on focus distance information from the RAW file. When the file doesn't contain this information, a default correction is applied instead, as is currently the case with Hasselblad cameras. We're working with the Hasselblad team to have this added in future firmware updates, and Capture One will automatically pick it up and apply the more precise correction.

4K monitors

For optimal performance on 4K monitors, we recommend doubling the initial specifications due to the increased computational demands. Additionally, investing in a high-performance GPU with ample VRAM is highly recommended for these configurations to handle the intensive graphics processing.

Recommendations and limitations

Note: The information provided here is subject to change and unintentional errors may occur. For any queries or further clarification, please contact support at https://support.captureone.com/

General guidelines

  • Browsing folders containing unsupported image files may affect application performance.
  • Previews from earlier versions of Capture One may be updated, which can affect the application performance the first time images are viewed in this version.
  • Using a non-US laptop keyboard might require changing some of the standard keyboard shortcuts.
  • Editing images in external applications other than Adobe Photoshop might result in unexpected behavior.
  • Operating under virtualization software (e.g., Parallels, Hackintosh, etc.) may cause instability. These OS configurations are not recommended.
  • Some cameras provide multishot functionality by way of multiple exposures or pixel shifting. In most cases, this 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).
  • 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, kindly reach out to Capture One Support at captureone.com/support.

File support

  • HEIC/HEIF support: Capture One supports HEIC/HEIF 8-bit files to the extent that the operating system supports the files. If you are on a Windows computer, you might need to download the two extensions "HEVC Video Extensions" and "HEIF Image Extensions" from Microsoft to enable support in Capture One.
  • 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. Adjustments and settings from other applications embedded in DNG files are not supported.
  • 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 and PSD files can be supported for viewing purposes only. Reprocessing the image will result in a new flattened image.
  • File size limitations: The smallest supported file for viewing has a minimum side of 16 pixels. The smallest supported file for editing has a minimum side of 512 pixels. The largest supported file is 715 megapixels or 65,000 pixels on the longest edge.

Known issues

  • You can find a list of known bugs in a dedicated community forum topic titled Known Bugs. Note that this list may not be up to date on the day of a new Capture One version release.
