Are there levels, masks and healing options in C1 Express?

I'm considering whether to use Capture One for the whole process of my editing instead of doing it in Photoshop. Things that are do-or-die for me are levels (for precise white balance), masks, clone/healing brush and to work exclusively in a non-destructive way (in Photoshop I only use adjustment layers).

Are there any similar options in Capture One Express?

TIA

  At this time so far as I know you will need a Pro version.
  
  Pro for Sony is the full Pro system functionality but only supports Sony cameras.
  
  The full Pro version supports everything that is currently supported.

  I've just found that there are levels in C1 Express. However,only the RGB channel can be edited, not the other three individual channels. If I press any of them, the histogram on any of these channels is still that of the RGB channel. Is this some kind of bug, or it's because this is the Express version and not the pro?

  So far as I know all (or certainly most) of the features that are Pro only are identified as such in the Help files. See the link above that describes Levels.
  
  From your original post you indicated you must have clone and healing which implies Adjustment layers and that is a Pro only feature at this time. Hence my previous post about needing Pro.

  In addtion to Grant's comments (go Pro), Level in Pro can be adjusted per channel individually, where Express only has the RGB (combined) levels tool. Same for Curve.
  
  If you are on Sony, the Pro for Sony is a deal which is 'PROhibitly cheap'. 😉n
