Of course, have a backup of any session / catalog stored elsewhere in your system before you upgrade your working sessions & catalogs to Capture One 20, but I’m giving early approval to start playing with this strong new offering from Phase One. I always fall back to the precautionary principle when upgrading software, but from my experience so far, Capture One 20 jumped way ahead of the growing pains we experienced in the entire code rewrite of Capture One 12 and sits now in a build version 13.0 that feels fully formed and ready to please. I’ll be defaulting my shortcuts again and building off of the default set because the simple changes, combined with the new ‘Select Next When’ behavior makes quick editing a much easier prospect The ease of use of this tool will convert some of you back from the Advanced Color Editor for small fixes as it works exceedingly well, while being utterly simple to operate.Īlways a frustration for me was the default keyboard shortcut layout and I’d have to immediately make some corrections to any new workstation I worked at (when I wasn’t carrying my full set of shortcuts with me). Very, very impressive compared to the click-drag-4-second-beachball I was used to experiencing at each and every stroke before. In Capture One 20, I created an obscene 15 layers of complex feathered brushes, linear and radial gradients with ZERO lag from the brush when I proceeded to paint the next series of strokes on the next created layer. While playing with 150 megapixel IQ4 files, in Capture One 12 I could choke my ability to paint feathered masks without latency in only two layers. Layer based workflow has been improved in the interface, but vastly so under the hood. My initial experience was that even in the beta of the program, it ran exceedingly better on the same hardware.
These are the aspects of Capture One 20 that struck me immediately:
Some of these changes are mild enhancements, some of these changes are, “oh, FINALLY’ and some of the changes you won’t notice until you start using the program for yourself.
As the Capture Integration Tech Support Manager, I highly recommend that you always read the release notes of any new software platform that you install.
