At the end of we released Capture One Pro 9 with new features, better quality and even more ways to work with your images. For those of you who already have existing Capture One 8 or earlier Catalogs or Sessions, you may be wondering how you bring those into Capture One Pro 9?
We are all very careful with our important images assets, so its only natural that we want to be cautious when moving from versions or from one application to another. Fortunately, it is extremely easy to bring your older Catalogs and Sessions into version 9 and revert back if you want to as well. Here we have a Session Catalogs are coming later in the post that was created on in Capture One Pro 8….
The following dialog box will pop up:. Settings and Adjustments are preserved. If we browse back to the Session folder we can see an automated backup has been created in the Session folder of the original Capture One Pro 8.
If you want to revert back to Capture One version 8, simply delete the newly created. As with the Session, a new Catalog database is created and the original database is kept safe and renamed. If you are on a PC — you will note that the Catalog file is not packaged but a series of folders. Simply browse the folders and inside you will see the.
Once again, if you want to revert to the old Catalog, simply delete the new. As I mentioned at the start of this post, we do not automatically upgrade the process engine to the Capture One 9 process engine. The process engine of the currently selected image is shown in the Base Characteristics tool……. Note, the Engine says Capture One 8 and the Upgrade button to the right is visible. To upgrade this image to the Capture One 9 Engine, simply click on the Upgrade button.
To upgrade a batch of images, simply select them all first and then click Upgrade. If you want to keep the image in both engines, simply Clone the image before upgrading. This is also a good way to compare the new engine to old! An alternative course of action is to simply duplicate the Session or duplicate the Catalog and use that duplicate in Capture One 9.
David Grover is part of the Capture One team, bringing you help, advice and education on a variety of subjects and platforms. In this post I will cover upgrading to the latest processing engine too. Again, here is a Catalog that was created in Capture One Pro 8….. But with either way you can freely experiment with Capture One 9 on older images as well as new. Best regards, David Share this:.

Anything large and C1 is not very easy to find your pictures in. This also seems like a bit meatier upgrade that the last few. Atahualpa SilvanBromide, umm, criticizing another poster of being "out of touch" and then relating to the costs of the film days at the same time

I bought it because of its perpetual promise which falls flat the moment you get a new camera but want to be using the same limited functions in the version you bought. What they did with the Pentax z unsupported BS is also cringe worthy, nobody is asking them to support z, they purposely block it even though its the same sensor for fuji , hassy, phase one. If it was a small payment for existing users, it would be fine but C1 charges a whole new program price for minor upgrades.
As many mentioned below, every year the updrading just renders the "life-time" meaning less. The actual benefit of upgrading is questionable, but obviously it tries to force you to pay the "annual fee", even you chose a "life time license". Another good example is that as a subscriber, the upgrading is free! It tries to be better than Adobe, but anyone with a proper brain would realize that these is no difference. I am still using my lightroom 6 and adobe creative cs5.
All I have to do is convert to dng. If they added features that i really care about maybe I will upgrade, I am not a digital artist. I think i got capture 1 pro 12 on sale for half off still using it. All that money i saved all those years haha. It just seems like they're not even trying anymore, and I'm not sure they even have software developers working on certain programs I guess, at least if you buy it outright, not only do you own a copy of the software, you are not forced into upgrading and can run the version you own for as long as you like and as long as you don't need any newer features.
Subscriptions keep you paying money as if you would automatically upgrade to every new version and you loose the software the moment you stop paying.
The C1 styles are the single worst thing I have ever wasted my money on. Cost a fortune, all are a pretty poor. Do what I do and make your own styles. It really isn't that hard. I would never purchase styles when I have bought the software that makes it possible for me to create my own. Most style packs come with maybe only one or two styles you would actually use anyway. Their styles are a complete waste of money for me. The fact they went down this road to try to improve revenue weakens the product because you can not use standard LUTs to colour grade.
I don't expect any company to sell software and update it perpetually for a one-time fee. That's not a recipe for survival. But I do expect upgrading to be optional, based on the benefits offered. No bang, no buck. Stitching and decent HDR would be something worth paying for.
The ability to open files from 5 new cameras I don't own would not be worth anything, yet I pay Adobe every month, regardless. The lifetime licence means the software won't time-out after a while.
It doesn't get you updates past the first year They hope users to upgrade, like every other software manufacturer. But you don't have to, contrary to a subscription model. It's easy to create your own styles, based on your own liking and taste.
I don't pay a subscription fee as, like you say, I don't want to pay for features I wont use. Also subscriptions only have two or three different versions of the software and after a while they drop the oldest version so you'd be forced to upgrade if you find a particular version you like. I prefer the 'one off' cost, then I can upgrade to a newer version several years down the line, therefore saving money in the long run.
We should be able to have a one off purchase on software and free camera compatibility upgrades. To me this would be the main reason to getting C1.
They still have to spend time and effort supporting the R3, presumably they would have to charge you more for 21 in order to cover those costs Well it isn't like they charge you extra money to support your new camera profile. Instead they also charge you money to support ALL the other cameras included in an upgrade. So you are in essence paying for a support library far greater than your needs.
It is one thing I liked about adobe. After all profile support should in fact not cost extra. At least not hundreds of euros.
It is work they need to do anyways after all. I'm on v20 right now but an upgrade will end up running me as much as a full license when it goes on sale, so unless they don't run as many sales in the future or also put the upgrades on sale they've really devalued their upgrade pricing. Please stop parroting marketing BS.
This is not a lifetime license. But five years down the line, when you are forced to purchase a newer version compatible with your OS and or current camera RAW files, think of the money you saved not having to pay the subscription fee for five years.
In this way they will continue taking your money indefinitely. At the end of the day, there is no difference to Adobe model. If you are on MacOS, then yes the program will only be good for max 5 years before an os upgrade will break it. But on windows, well i still use Photoshop CS2 and I can't see any reason to upgrade it. And I still use Visual Basic 6 which is about 30 years old now and runs on windows If it's any good, it'll save me a round trip or two to other dedicated products.
Just keep in mind that if you buy the manufacturer-specific version, all your RAW files from other manufacturers aren't supported. That used to be a really good deal. They usually do that about May each year if I remember correctly. And with the updates to Lightroom and the R5 profiles, I'm pretty sure I'm going to save money and go with Adobe now.
But I'll keep CaptureOne around as long s it's viable for those special color adjustments. To be honest that's a pretty good deal, as you get to use C1 V21 now and then get another years use of C1 Seems ok to me, but I am on a subscription model for Nikon only. The biggest thing that forces you to upgrade is camera support, since older versions don't support new cameras.
If you buy new camera bodies as they come out, you'll probably need the latest version of Capture One. Even more reason not to upgrade your camera or software so often and make use of the perfectly good equipment you already have. I'm generalising of course as everyone's needs differ but I'd say for a lot of dedicated enthusiasts, this is probably true.
I wish there was a subscription based version that lets you only edit maybe photos per months but costs only 10 bucks per month. I figure I'll probably keep getting every other version I remember how much 5, images a year would have cost to develop and print in the days of film and your comment just seems out of touch and even a bit ludicrous.
SilvanBromide, umm, criticizing another poster of being "out of touch" and then relating to the costs of the film days at the same time In any case, I also think that 5k images isn't actually that bad. I don't have that many that I keep and still I find a software such as C1 very helpful. And that a few cents per image over the span of a year or two isn't unreasonable compared to most of the alternatives digital OR film.
So you can pay for the next version now and get it later.. Yes I have the current C1 and have upgraded for some time, but its still, by a mile, the most expensive raw development software, with the worst noise reduction of them all - but of you want to just throw images into it and get results with a nice pop it isn't bad Exactly my thought.
The next versione is just around the corner so this buy one and get one free scheme is quite a stretch. Perhaps this is a move away from enticing punters with discounts to buy sight unseen versions like last time. I don't think this offer is aimed at people like you who already have the current version, but it can be enticing for those who don't already have C1 or are on an older version. If you don't know how to use NR properly, then you really shouldn't comment.
I agree with those who are feeling burned by the increased cost of upgrading with very limited return, but to say that C1 is inferior at NR or pretty much any other major image alteration element simply is not in tune with reality. The full license and subscription pricing isn't an issue for those who want the best possible RAW processing - and have done the proper comparisons with the offerings that have so clearly fallen behind.
I personally think it is great software that allows me to edit images in a very efficient way thanks to, for instance, the configurable keyboard shortcuts. However, it does have its peculiarities. Halos at the edges of darkened areas e. These can be corrected to some extent with negative structure. I've done a lot of work on NR and I'm very comfortable saying C! Alas we can't post sample images here.
In C1P I found it still has a ton of artefacts after you lose the obvious noise I could get the people looking quite good, but everything else was nasty. Plus annoyingly there will always be a deal along to make you feel bad if you paid the full price I'll wait and see if they improved the database speed.
I can open my image collection in Media Pro and search through it in 1 minute. In Capture One it takes 1 hour. So I'll stay on version 20 for now.
And fixed all the various catalog related bugs and instabilities, at least on the Windows platform. There is always special when a company is "asking" for more money. The bait will attract the sheep for sure!
As a long time LR user, subscription model, who bought C1 20 with the concept of perpetual license, no more subscription. Seeming like the benefits to perpetual license are more an illusion of control than an actual functional benefit. So far, I take photos commercially and it is not a problem for me to buy the latest version of CO I still skip one version. However, after I finish a commercial photo shoot, or something forces me to quit or, for example, a new version of CO does not bring me anything like 20 vs 21 nothing forces me to buy a new version.
What will I get when I stop paying Adobe subscriptions. It's not that difficult. I mean I've been using the same C1 version since early , with no intent to upgrade until major new features like HDR land. Choosing when and for how much I decided to upgrade is still somewhat more flexible than the sub model IMO, but there's also a ton of value in Adobe's CC sub. OP: i feel your pain pal. I got the same bombardment since I refused to upgrade to a smartphone all those years ago.
A single day doesn't go by without some cheeky profiteering company trying to tell me what I am missing out. And the manufacturer of my car now tells me I can buy a new electric model that goes times the distance for the same cost compared to the petrol one they sold me last year! Greedy bastards! I wish they would just stop developing new things every year, or at least upgrade me for free! Heh, I'm curious to see if they keep handling sales the same way and running them as frequently, it nearly makes upgrade pricing irrelevant IMO So yeah imma wait a bit on v20 as well.
I'm glad to see them giving a bit more information on the upgrades than they have in the past few years. This also seems like a bit meatier upgrade that the last few. Will wait for DXO Photolab 5 than. Let's wait and see what they have to offer. Because they do camera specific versions for those three.
I think for a long time Sony was the only one. You got a free version and can still get the free version made available to you if you bought a Sony. The cash is for the full version which used to be called Capture One Pro I think. They changed the naming a couple of years ago confusingly. Why should I as a owner of a different brand camera pay more? Let Capture One make the same price point for every user to make me a customer. They need customers, as a potential use I have multiple alternatives.
The brand-specific versions are cheaper because they have less functionality they only work with raw files from one brand. As already said, if the other manufacturers aren't interested in such a deal, that's not really the fault of Phase One. There is a full version that does all raw files of all brands.
Then there is a paid pro version that only does raw files for Sony, Nikon or Fujifilm - then there is a cut down version for those 3 systems which only work for their raw files and is free. No lens data, no serial number, few lens profiles, no pixel shift support, no tethering etc. I have been asking CO for better Pentax support for nearly a decade - response -- crickets. I still do not know if they support the Z PEF files. There are work arounds but you have to edit the EXIF in order to get it to work.
There is a comparison on their website. Colour balance, a tool that lets you adjust the colour tone for shadow, mids and highlights is a tool well worth the upgrade for me. I have stopped asking for features.
I was contacted by phone last year asking if I was interested in getting a Phase One body by Phase One. I asked why Pentax features were not supported and the guy on the other side of the conversation said paraphrasing "some vendors don't give out that information - our hands are tied".
I did not mention ExifTool's ability to translate lens data - so I just didn't bring it up. PDL The excuse given by the C1 representative is nonsense.
I told them how to get at the lens data and every company worth their salt should be able to figure it out. Lightroom properly displays information from Pentax cameras, there really is no insurmountable barrier here.
Note that C1 is developed by Capture One these days, i. Capture One just thinks that Pentax is too insignificant to even warrant the couple of hours it would take to implement proper support. I agree that C1 is better than LR if only because one can still get a perpetual license but it still has serious deficiencies regarding UI design.
The recent modal exporter dialogue experiment is just one example of many minor but quite impactful bad decisions. Your comments on the UI are not broadly held. While the exporter design was a questionable choice, it was not as bad as you made out.
They changed it so it is now on available again on the primary tab list. It was different, but I did not have a fit over it. Sony has just released a trio of impressively small, light, ultrawide lenses for APS-C.
These lenses are designed for vloggers, so Chris decided to film himself and find out how they perform. Holy moly, this thing is tiny! We take the adorable Sigma mm F2.

If you wish to run a detailed photography archive or you have to use keywords for you work — Keywords Library provides a range of great possibilities. Besides new Keywords Library tool, there are few other useful improvements to Keywords:. Capture One 9 works much better with DNG; the color is clear and realistic. There are still slight inequalities with image luminance, but, in general, DNG picture is quite close to the original RAW and with some images you will even find no difference.
There are also few limitations:. Before Capture One 9 it was available only in Sessions mode, now you can use it with Catalogs too. Very nice improvement for web preview processing. Phase One, you are doing a great job.
Stop for a moment. Add those really necessary features. Make thousands of users happy. And continue to do awesome things. Thank you. What I truly like is that each Capture One update is about real improvements that make your work better, easier and faster. Capture One 9 is not about darkroom style fancy-pants updates. Every professional knows how much his work time costs. Now imagine all the time, that only Mask from Color Editor feature can save you.

- New Features for Tethered Capture in Capture One Pro 9.1
Capture One 22 is releasing this December. To prepare new users for Capture One 22, Capture One has announced that for a limited time, photographers can purchase Capture One 21 now and get Capture One 22 for free in December. This deal is aimed at users who prefer to purchase capture one pro 9 upgrade free user licenses rather than subscribe to Capture One.
After all, subscribers receive all Capture One updates as soon as they're available at no additional cost. While the full details of Capture One 22 haven't yet been revealed, we do know a couple of the major features coming in the next version: HDR merging and panorama stitching. The new software will also include many other improvements and optimizations, some of which we're likely to hear about before December's release.
For subscribers and users who take advantage of Capture One's new promotion, you will be able to freely download Capture One 22 as soon as it's released. For license users, you will simply use the same license key for both Capture One 21 and Capture One When you upgrade, your Styles and preferences will carry over to the new version, although Capture one pro 9 upgrade free One recommends backing up your softwarejust to be safe.
If you are interested in Capture One 22 but don't yet have Capture One 21, now is as good a time as any to give the popular photo editing application a shot.
You can download fdee fully functioning free trial of Capture One 21 before taking advantage of the deal to see if Capture One is the right fit for your personal workflow. These brand-specific versions allow you to work exclusively with RAW files from a single brand.
To view upgrade pricing, you must visit this upgtade and sign in. C1 is awesome, plain and simple. LR doesn't come even close. As far as cost I get c1 for free for my phase one and still spend 24 per month for my nikon use when I need to capture faster action - seriously, 24 per month!!! Am I the only one who doesn't capture one pro 9 upgrade free that all the objections to the price are simply ridiculous?
Thats a significant increase. Am I the only one upggade considering something else? Capture one is mainly aimed at professionals, not hobbyists. Lightroom CC capture one pro 9 upgrade free a great alternative if you just want tree have fun.
Bracketing po stitching were the 2 missing features I always wanted for C1, now it's finally as complete as LR. Capture One is not even close to LR is photo organising. C1 is better for "small projects" so having a catalogue per shot - or per month. Anything large and C1 is not very easy to find your pictures in. But I only buy "LR" on "pre-paid" 1 year packages upgrde they are on "super sale" like Black Friday - and then activate upgradw licenses when I need them.
If one wants to have a separate structure for projects or custom timeframes, Sessions are the appropriate workflow. I agree that C21 has not the same standard for organising and cataloguing as LR.
The forte of C1 however is IQ. LR not even comes close for colours and such. I agree with Ergo And it is not only the superb IQ but the variety, versatility and intuitiveness of the tools available to get you there. Sure, pay twice as much for Capture One and do without Photoshop and a database, it'll help the economy.
Reilly: there are more than enough Photoshop alternatives Affinity Photo for one that are as good or even better than Adobe's product that you can do without. C1 has database capabilities although with quirks and omissionsso to say one has to do without a database is a little far stretched.
I use the C1 database, and while I am the first one to say it could be better, it capture one pro 9 upgrade free for me at least. Like I said before: you buy C1 for its excellent IQ and intuitivity and streamlining that Adobe can't match not by a long mile As for the reference of Fourbillionyears: I would say that LR is a Swiss knife can do almost anything, but excels in nothing capture one pro 9 upgrade free, while C1 is a professional tool: it can't do everything, but what it does, it does brilliantly CaptureOne is less powerful than either of those, and somewhat lacking in some areas compared to Lightroom.
But honestly, I find it quite adequate. And unlike captuge Lr where the Catalog has hardly changed since v1, in CaptureOne it capture one pro 9 upgrade free under continuous development.
I gave up on using COP for catalogs as it was too slow on an external drive with thousands of photos. I moved onto using Photo Mechanic Plus for cataloging, its blazingly fast. Btw, I would never use catalogs - what's wrong with using sessions? And I do a lot of commercial photography If previous years are anything to go by, the Black Friday discounts for 22 will only be available to those already on Those on 20 will first have to buy 21 at full price and get 22 included for 'free'.
People here seem to forget that most paid perpetual software licenses just mean that you get a certain version that you can use as long as you want. There are people who paid for Photoshop CS6 and they can still use CS6 as long as they want, even though it's totally out of date now and not really updated. It was the same way with Windows, where the expectation up through Windows 8 was that you had to pay to upgrade to the next version.
Capture One makes a new release every year, so it should be no surprise when that happens, and you can always capture one pro 9 upgrade free to wait a few years before upgrading.
Tbh the bottom line is that if you're making a one-time payment for software, you should be happy with the upgrxde current set of features, as-is. Making a software purchase in the hope that it'll get free updates that include the features you want is hpgrade good way to be disappointed. Anyone who has purchased early-access video games would know this.
And I try my best not to get suckered into any kind of subscriptions. It is just wrong to buy capturre on subscription as you loose access when the timer runs out. Yes, you summed it up pretty well there! The only exception to this practice seems to be the Affinity suite of softwares that they keep on updating, year after year without asking for more money.
For quite a period of time and even today, somewhat the business capture one pro 9 upgrade free of paying a single time and then getting unlimited updates for the rest of your life was certainly an exception to the rule. Usually you might expect feature updates for a brief period of time, followed by security updates or no updates at all. If the users aren't putting more money into new versions of the software, the developers would have to either continuously grow the user base, or they would have to find some other revenue upgrqde.
Anyway, the point is, if you buy a perpetual license for software and then you find that it's not getting updated with new features, I don't think anyone should be surprised or even disappointed prl that outcome. No matter what, "house always wins". Great, I bought Capture One 21 not that long ago and I'm not eligible for the free upgrade. Doesn't quite seem fair to be honest. To be honest, HDR merging and panorama stitching are features I can live without so I question whether the upgrade in December will be beneficial to me at all.
I love the interface. Created for Windows, with the Windows familiar menus and interface. No half-ars frustrating Apple interface conversion to Windows. The more I tried C1 since version 11, now capture one pro 9 upgrade free 21, for Sonythe more I hated its interface.
As for benefits and pricing policies, etc. If you're only going to use it for a couple of months to try it out, choose monthly fee. If you're always updating everything to the latest version, get the yearly fee.
If you're not planning to upgrade until you upgrade your camera, and you do that every 3 or 4 years, get the perpetual licence. Just don't get the perpetual licence expecting it to be updated, or the yearly and complain it wasn't updated enough I agree.
I bought C1 not that long ago and don't qualify for the free upgrade, boo! As it is, C1 21 does more than I need it capture one pro 9 upgrade free, which is to add my own simple colour style to my images. I doubt the newer version adds anything critical for me so could easily wait a good number of years before upgrading.
I was always skipping one version before updating, but with current price policy of Phase One, that doesn't seem possible anymore. C1 has the worst licensing models. I bought it because of its perpetual promise which capture one pro 9 upgrade free flat the moment you get a new camera but want to be using the same limited functions in the version you bought. What they did with the Pentax z unsupported BS is also cringe worthy, nobody is asking them to support z, they purposely block it even though its the same sensor for fujihassy, phase one.
If it was a small payment capture one pro 9 upgrade free existing users, it would be fine but C1 charges a whole new program price for minor upgrades.
As many mentioned below, every year the updrading just renders the "life-time" meaning less. The oe benefit of upgrading is questionable, but obviously it tries to force you to pay the "annual fee", even you chose a upgraed time license". Another good example is that as a subscriber, the upgrading is free! It tries to be better than Adobe, but anyone with a proper brain would realize upgrafe these capture one pro 9 upgrade free no difference.
I am still using fee lightroom 6 and adobe creative cs5. All Capture one pro 9 upgrade free have to do is convert to dng. If they added features that i really care about maybe I will upgrade, I am not a digital artist. I think i got capture 1 pro 12 on sale for half off still using it. All that money i saved all those years haha. It just seems capture one pro 9 upgrade free they're not even trying anymore, and I'm not sure they even have software developers working on certain programs I guess, at least if you buy it outright, not only do you own a copy of the software, you are not forced into upgrading and can run the version you own for as long as you like and as long as you don't need any newer features.
Subscriptions keep you paying money as if you would automatically upgrade to every new version and you loose the software the moment you stop paying.
The C1 styles are the single worst thing I have ever wasted my frree on. Cost a fortune, all are a pretty poor.
