Luminosity Masks enable a new way of masking in Capture One. By selecting a range from luminosity (lightness), it's possible to add any adjustment to only that range. Apply shadow recovery to only the darkest shadows or add clarity to the lightest parts of the image. The possibilities are endless.

Rotate, feather and adjust a mask with a precision never before possible. Capture One 12 takes gradient masks to the next level, allowing for transformable, even asymmetric gradient masks. Using a brand-new Parametric Masking Engine, Capture One allows for adjustments in the size, shape, and symmetry of the masks with simple mouse clicks and key presses, truly redefining what is possible with a linear gradient.

Adjust, rotate and move Radial Masks after creation for extreme control over desired effects. Using the same Parametric Masking Engine as the Linear Gradient mask tool, the new Radial Gradient Mask enables quick, flexible masks. Use them for custom vignettes, creative effects or to focus attention.

Colors, iconography, and general design is optimized for long working sessions and to make discovery experimentation, and customization as easy as possible. Moreover, every menu item in Capture One 12 has been evaluated, categorized, and organized according to its logical function and grouped along with associated tasks, which makes it easier to find the desired controls and settings.

When copying adjustments between images, Capture One will automatically detect changes for a quick workflow. Image specific adjustments like composition or spot removal are ignored by default, but can be manually included if needed.

Need to remove unwanted elements from your images? Heal or Clone an area in your image by adding a new layer using Layers. While a Heal Layer blends with the surroundings of the target area, a Clone Layer will specifically clone the source area to the target area.

Softening the edges of a mask after drawing is simplified with the Feather Mask feature. Avoid having to redraw masks by simply dragging a slider to feather the edges.

The Refine Edge lets you make a more precise edge on your mask. Create a clean and adjustable mask with many uses, for example, picking out hair against a background. Use with the improved Auto Mask function for precision results.

Visualize your mask without the distraction of the image by switching to Grey Scale. Missed areas of your mask are now easily caught and corrected.

Capture One’s Industry leading tethered capture is fast, flexible and reliable, for those photography sessions where speed and accuracy is important. Shoot directly to your computer for an almost instant viewing experience - with or without instant adjustments. Enable Live View for easier composing when shooting still-life photography.

Text fields for naming, destination and other inputs such as watermarking provide the option to use ‘Tokens’. Instead of static, manually written text, Tokens are dynamic and will change according to the information they are bound to. For example, the ‘ISO-Token’ will use the ISO value of each individual image as input. This enables you to easily create folders, rename or add watermarks to your images with dynamic information that changes automatically to match each image, greatly improving your workflow.

Create and manage keyboard shortcuts to effectively enhance your workflow and efficiency when working in Capture One. Support for Tangent products further improves customization of shortcuts.

Extensive sharpening tools provide full control of the process with control over everything from Amount to Halo Suppression. Adding additional usage dependent sharpening to your Process Recipes, for example Screen or Print output, makes sure your images look the very best, regardless of size.

Noise Reduction in Capture One Pro is both camera model and ISO dependent, providing the ultimate tools for managing noise while preserving details.

Processing images for large prints is very different from processing images for social media use. Capture One enables independent process recipes saving different setups to easily achieve your desired output with one click. Each recipe can have a different image size, quality, ICC profile and sharpening among other settings. Output Proofing enables you to quickly view the final image of each recipe without having to process your image first. This makes it easier to tweak each recipe to perfection without trial and error.

Simulate the analogue feel by adding Film Grain to your images, choosing between six types of grain. Change the Impact and Granularity for maximum control of the final look.
