In the video below we explore the three main areas of improvement in Capture One Pro 12:
- Completely updated Look and Feel
- Now supports plugins!
- Better Masking Tools!
User Interface
The UI has been overhauled with new icons and a better but familiar layout, and Capture One Pro now uses a larger font for better viewing. It’s also now possible to search for Keyboard Shortcuts – Yes!
Masking Tools
We walk through Luminosity Masking with the Luma Range Tool. Improved Linear Gradient Masks that can now be moved with COMMAND key, or made asymmetric by dragging with the ALT or Option key pressed. And we can now create Radial Gradient masks!
Adjustments
Copying of Adjustments is now more intelligent, as image specific adjustments like Spot Removal are now ignored by default, but can be turned on when necessary.
Plug-ins
Capture One Pro now supports Plugins! JPEGmini are among the first, and this opens up all sorts of doors. I can’t wait to see what other developers create!
Fujifilm Simulations
Fujifilm Film Simulation – if you are a Fujifilm camera user that’s probably useful for you.
Capture One Pro just goes from strength to strength, and I hope this walk-through helps you to understand the new features in version 12!
