Who can access Capture One Live?
Capture One Live is available to users with a Capture One Pro subscription (monthly, annual) or a Capture One Pro perpetual license (version 15.1 or newer). New customers with a Capture One Pro subscription or perpetual license will automatically receive the free plan, and trial users will also receive the free plan during the trial period.
How can I upgrade to the Capture One Live Unlimited Plan?
Follow this guide on how to purchase the plan.
Where can I find Capture One Live?
Make sure your desktop application is updated to the latest version. Capture One Live is available in the toolbar of the default workspace as a "Share Online" button. If you are working on a customized workspace, you can add Capture One Live by customizing the toolbar.
What are the Live Session limits?
The free plan allows for one session at a time with no limits on the total number. The unlimited plan allows for as many sessions as desired, but unfair usage may result in the service being paused.
What are the Image Sharing limits?
There is no limit to the number of images that can be shared, but unfair usage may result in the service being paused.
What versions of Capture One Pro are supported by Capture One Live?
Capture One Live is officially supported on the latest two versions of Capture One Pro. It is recommended to always run the latest version of Capture One Pro for the smoothest experience.
Can trial users purchase the Capture One Live Unlimited Plan?
No, trial users have access to the same features as the free plan but cannot purchase Capture One Live during the trial period.
How secure is image sharing on Capture One Live?
With the unlimited plan, you can invite people by email and choose their role. You can restrict access to whitelisted email addresses to view, rate, tag, and comment on shared images. You can also add a watermark to your images. This is not available on the free plan.
Why are the changes made by my client/reviewer not showing up in Capture One Pro?
Starting from version 16.1.2, your collections will automatically try to reconnect with their online counterpart. If this fails, ratings and tags may not update in Capture One Pro. You will be alerted and given the option to try to reconnect again from the "Share Online" menu. If this doesn't work, please contact our support team as it might be a bug.
How do I add watermarks to my images?
You can access the watermark settings from the "Share Online" menu. To learn more about adding watermarks, check out this article.
How does Capture One Live sort images?
By default, images in the web browser are sorted by date, from newest to oldest. Newly uploaded images will always appear at the top, but a page refresh will sort everything by date. You can switch between old-to-new and new-to-old sorting directly in the browser.
Can I share a Session or a Catalog?
You can share photos organized in both. If you want to share photos organized in a Catalog, make sure that you have created an Album. If you want to share photos from within a Session, both Folders and Albums are supported. However, Smart Albums are not supported.
Can different reviewers have different ratings?
It is possible for all reviewers to rate and color tag images if they have been granted this right, but their actions will overwrite each other.
Is it possible to add comments to images shared in a Live Session?
Yes, you can add and delete comments to individual images if you have been granted this right. Anyone with access to the Live Session can view them.
How do I leave a comment on an image in a Capture One Live Session?
Navigate to an image and click on the comment icon below the image to leave a comment.
Do comments sync back to the Capture One desktop app?
No, comments are only viewable in a Capture One Live Session.
When your online collection expires or when you decide to stop it, you will receive an email with a collection of comments made on your images.
You will also receive an email reminder three days before the online collection expires.
Can I view only the images that have comments?
Yes, you can toggle the icon next to "Show only photos with comments" in the filter menu to show only images with comments.
How do I know which images have comments?
You can see which images have comments by clicking on the comment button. An icon will appear in the upper-right corner of each image that has a comment.
Also, you can cancel your subscription through the FastSpring:
Note: Once you terminate a subscription, you lose the ability to create new Live Sessions immediately from that moment. The already active Live Sessions will wait until they expire.

Hi! Can I easily reset all my Live collections in one easy place? I had tried this out at the beginning of the year, and my clients found it unusable and confusing, however I am interested to try it again now that there are some updates. I can't remember which folders I had used for my 5x trial collections, but want to deactivate them all, so I can try this again.
It seems, the resolution of the photos in live has changed within the past month? Does it depend on my pre-setted resolution on my desktop capture? How can I adjust the resolution in live? It is way to pixelated for the client to work with it properly.
Hello, when I share a folder, by default online, it starts from the last photo... I would like to know if it can reverse the default order, without the need to click on the order once the folder is online. Thank you!
Is the upload speed for live sessions capped? seems I can not go above 900 KB - 1200KB per second
I am wondering if it is possible to filter by star/colour rating when in the shared live session on a web page? We are now using live for all proofing and where there are a lot of images for the client to look through, it would be great if they could then look at their selections all together, rather than recognising which images they have chosen by the small indicator underneath.
I can create a new link with their selections, but would be amazing if they could run this all themselves.
Hi there.
It would be helpful if the images shown in Live were sorted in the same way as in the session I'm sharing, not only by capture order. In the desktop app I often sort photos manually.
I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would think it makes sense to start with the last
/newest image taken? Or to not have a way to change the default order.
