With an updated processing engine, market-leading performance and powerful new features, Capture One Pro 8 is the professional choice in imaging software. You get the highly responsive precision tools you need to create stunning images from your camera's RAW files in a time-saving workflow that can be customized to fit your needs.

New Design
The user interface on offer in Capture One 8 has become flatter, and that’s nice. It’s looks pretty good and it’s very comfortable to work with.

Improved processing engine
Capture One 8 offers new improved processing engine. This means that users who would like to work fully with old RAW files that were edited in Capture One 7 will need to upgrade their engine.

High Dynamic Range (HDR)
The HDR tool has been completely upgraded in Capture One 8 and it now doesn’t affect the mid tones at all. The main problem with the High Dynamic Range functionality in Capture One 7 was the “dirty” picture that emerged when high HDR values were applied. Now that’s gone and the new HDR effect is very accurate and clear.

Clarity
Clarity tool in version 8 now offers a new work mode – Natural (surprise!). With this mode, Clarity is even more accurate then Neutral, especially with the color and the dark parts of the image.

New Catalog Features
The Catalog functionality was a chink in Capture One’s 7 armor. Until version 7, Capture One didn’t offer catalogization at all and the release of the Catalog tool was a first step in the right direction. The new features of Catalog in Capture One 8 fixes a few of the main problems associated with the old version.

White Balance in layers
White Balance with the ability to use layer masks on up to 10 different layers (UPD – 16 layers in Capture One 8.1); it’s a really fantastic feature. With just a few clicks you can change the color temperature of any part of a given image.
