When developing the next version of our powerful photo editing software, we set out to make photo editing as smooth as possible – while still giving you total creative control.

Plus, we added a ton of small updates that will make a big difference to your workflow.

Ready for a new kind of editing experience? Dive into thelatest tools and features below.

Workspace – Scrolling tools

We’ve taken the customizable workspace one step further in Capture One 20. Now, you can smoothly scroll through all your tools for a smoother editing experience.

Each Tool Tab now contains two sections: a pinned section and a scrollable section. Simply pin your favorites to the top of the tool tab and scroll through the rest of the tools below.

Basic Color Editor

The new Basic Color Editor has been redesigned to be more compact – and yet, more powerful. You now get eight color ranges instead of six – and flexible ways to adjust them.

You can edit colors with simple sliders or click anywhere on your image and drag to adjust any color. Using the new cursor tool, Direct Color Editor, you can drag across your images in different directions to change the sliders.

If you need to change the ranges, the spectrum is available from the (…) button. Any changes made to the spectrum will reflect in the color patches and the gradients on the sliders.

The new Basic Color Editor also works on Layers, making your layer editing simpler.

Improved Noise Reduction

Do you shoot high ISO? With the industry’s best performing noise reduction, you’ll now be able to preserve details and colors like never before when shooting in low light. That means you can start your editing with the cleanest possible images.

High Dynamic Range

Our High Dynamic Range tool is much loved for its ability to recover highlights and shadows – and now we’ve taken it one step further, so you get total control of your contrast.

With the redesigned High Dynamic Range Tool, the sliders now start in the middle, doubling the functionality of Highlight and Shadow Recovery to provide more contrast, not just recovery. Plus, a Black and White slider have been added, giving you control of the darkest shadows and brightest highlights.

By enabling fine-tuning of contrast in a fast and easy way, this redesigned tool is ideal for high-speed workflows and supplements the more advanced control you can achieve with Levels and Curves.

New Crop Tool

Cropping is now more precise and easier with the visible handles in the new Crop tool, making it easier to grab and resize the crop.

New modifier keys also allow you to crop around the center [ALT] and lock the current aspect ratio [Shift]. Plus, freehand rotation can be accessed by either moving the cursor outside the corner of the crop, of by using the modifier key [CMD/CTRL]. Hitting return while using the Crop Tool will now switch to the Pan Cursor Tool and show the image in its cropped state.

More possibilities with Layers

Capture One 20 allows even more flexibility when working with Layers, so you get more control of your final image.

You can now select specific layers to copy to other images – without replacing the existing layers on the destination photo.

You can also copy and apply layers between images with different dimensions, making it easier to streamline a workflow where multiple cameras are used or Styles are applied to Layers.

Improved DNG support

Capture One Pro 20 now renders the highest-quality DNG files from your camera, smartphone and drone thanks to improved color profiling for DNG format. That means you can edit with the best possible images, no matter the device.

“Select Next When”

Do you shoot high-volume projects like weddings or events? Culling and sorting large sets of photos is now faster than ever in Capture One 20. Enable “select next when” and let Capture One automatically switch to the next image when you star or color tag an image – it saves up to 50% of your keystrokes so you can get to editing faster.

This feature also works with Sets. Simply select multiple images and disable “Edit All Selected Variants.” When you star or color tag, the selection will move through the Set and switch to the next Set of the same size once the last image is rated.

Find the new feature within ‘Select > Select Next When’.

Small updates make a big difference

Check out these interface and user improvements below – they’ll make a big difference to your editing experience.

Improved Adjustment Clipboard

Enjoy a simpler clipboard when copying adjustments. Enable “auto-select adjusted” to collapse any groups without adjustments and get a clear overview of what elements will be included when pasting to other variants.

Toolbar text and icons

Find tools more easily thanks to default text under the icons. You can toggle this option on and off by right-clicking the toolbar.

Masking Cursor tools

The cursor tools for masking (brush, eraser, linear and radial gradient) can now be found in the Layers tool for easy access.

Viewer background color

Instantly change the background color of the viewer by right-clicking on the background. You can also make changes via the view-menu, with new shortcuts assigned –[Shift + 1, 2, 3… 6].

Browser thumbnails

See the big picture more clearly with a 50% increase in thumbnail resolution.

White Balance Picker

Get the best possible white balance consistency with the redesigned White Balance Picker tool.

Process button

Activate your selected Process Recipes more easily – the Process button has been moved to the Process Recipes tool.

Changes to default shortcuts

We’ve boosted our library of default shortcuts to give you even more possibilities for faster work:

Proof Margin: X
Direct Color Editor: D
Hide Viewer:G
Linear Gradient: L
Zoom to 100%: . (period)
Zoom to fit:, (comma)
Toggle Focus Mask: Q
Full Screen: F (On Windows F11 works as a secondary shortcut)

The first major update of Capture One 20 (13.1) is finally here!
Previously, developers unveiled some details of this release; now we have a full update features list:

  • New Before/After Tool
  • Reworked Heal and Clone tools
  • Capture One for Nikon
  • New Nikon Color Profiles
  • Enhanced Lightroom importer

Plus, Capture One 20 now has a new logo and has added some other minor improvements.
Download Capture One 20 and let’s see how all the new features work in practice.

The new Capture One 20 update brings the real Before/After tool, and it works just like it should.

You can now quickly compare your edit to the original image just by clicking a shortcut Y.

The new tool has two modes, and you can toggle them using Y+Shift shortcut.

Full View Mode

The first mode, Full View, fits perfectly the need to switch between edited and original images quickly.

Note that the original image, here, always includes composition adjustments, so as to make it easier to compare before/after shots.
If you add some new adjustments, Capture One auto-switches you to the edited variant.

Split View Slider

In the second mode, you see Before/After images on the same screen, divided by a moveable slider. The original image is located on the left and the adjusted variant on the right side.

Split View works excellently when you need to compare some particular parts of your edit. You can continue editing in the Split View mode; additional adjustments would still appear on the After variant.

Also, it’s really convenient to compare styles and presets now:

BTW, you can get some of these Capture One styles for free just by subscribing to my newsletter.


Both modes work well with multiple selected images:

The old Alt+Reset feature has been removed in the new Capture One, which makes total sense.

Ok, long-awaited Before/After tool looks great, now, what about updated retouch features?

Capture One developers did excellent work on enhancing Heal and Clone tools for this upgrade.
Heal tool now finds source points automatically, and the tool works way more intelligently than before.

What is even more important, now you can have unlimited heals on one layer. That’s a real game-changer for retouch workflow.
Previously, users have been limited to 16 layers and 100 spot removals. Now, you can do all the editing in Capture One, including complex retouching.

In the new Capture One, you have all control over the retouch areas.
If you need to set a source point manually, you can do this just as before. Hold down the Alt key to set a source point before masking or select an existing arrow to change its position.

Also, when an arrow is selected, the new masking will relate to this source point.

To delete selected area, simply press Backspace; The erasing of the mask removes the arrow as well.
BTW, you can easily hide arrows just by moving the cursor away from the viewer or by unchecking Display Arrow mark in the Heal Brush Settings.

Clone and Heal layers now have their own brushes with all the regular settings. For instance, the Flow setting allows you to increase retouching impact with each cursor movement. It works perfectly for portraits when you need to retouch skin carefully.

Plus, you can change the Heal or Clone layer opacity to tone down retouch on an image.

However, updated tools have inherited a critical restriction: Capture One still uses the original image as a source for retouching. Thus, you can’t retouch an area and build new retouch based on this correction.
Also, you can’t perform healing and cloning on Offline files, which is pretty understandable.

Apart from the new Before/After tool and enhanced retouching, this update also brings a bunch of new color profiles for Nikon cameras.

A nice surprise is awaiting Nikon photographers in the new update.
Capture One now offers a special version of the software for Nikon camera owners.

Capture One for Nikon has two versions: Express and Pro.
Nikon Express is a completely free version of Capture One with a basic set of image editing tools.
Nikon Pro offers all the professional features of Capture One and comes with a special, lower price tag.

Capture One developers have replicated Nikon Picture Control color profiles in Capture One. Thus, you can now get the same color for your RAW files as you have shooting JPG.

The difference between color profiles is quite noticeable, and for some images, I’ll surely prefer the new Nikon profiles.
At the moment, the new profiles are available for these camera models: D6, D5, D850, D810/D810A, D800, D780, D750, D610, Z7, Z6, D500, D7500, D5600, D5500, D3500, D3400, D3300, Z50.

Also, in the update, you’ll find some improvements to Lightroom catalogs import.

Firstly, the import process is more transparent now; you can see what will happen after the import.

Secondly, you can now import Smart Previews (or Offline images in terms of Capture One). Once the original files become available, Capture One syncs them automatically.

New Logo


Capture One developers haven’t changed the logo when jumping from 12 to 20 versions. Now they suddenly introduced it in Capture One 13.1 (technically it’s 13.1, not 20.1).
However, the new logo looks pretty nice! After having it for several years, I’m missing an old white one a bit; it’s always tough to get used to a new design.

Capture One (for Sony) and Capture One Fujifilm have new logos as well:

New onboarding flow

For new users, developers have added a new onboarding screen to get familiar with Capture One features. Here you can customize your interface lightly and even get sample images for your very first editing.
Note that you’ll not see this screen, if you already have a previous version of Capture One installed.

Workspace changes

Capture One 20.1

In the update, the default workspace has been modified a bit; now, some of the tools are collapsed. Also, developers have merged three “Simplified” workspaces into one, and the Black & White editing
workspace had been removed.

New cameras and lenses

Apart from new features, the update brings some new camera and lens profiles.
