As many of us are aware, Capture One have launched their complete support for Fujifilm cameras. Most surprisingly, this even includes the GFX line of cameras. Several versions of the software are available ranging from the free version supporting only Fujifilm cameras to a fully featured version supporting cameras from various manufacturers. In version 12, support was added for Fujifilm’s Film Simulations, so now we have a workflow that is Fujifilm specific!

Expertise from creating customized color profiles for more than 400 cameras, combined with our relentless dedication to creative freedom has brought recognition to Capture One’s workflow, our. Capture One Pro lets you edit files from all major camera brands. Or save with a Capture One version that's just for Fujifilm, Sony or Nikon cameras. So, in previous versions of the software, what you saw in Photoshop was not always what you got in Capture One Pro. The improvements made it so Capture One Pro will not only see, honor and update the adjustments you make to the PSD in Photoshop, but it will allow you to process that PSD as if it were a normal RAW file.
Capture One takes a slightly different approach to Digital Asset Management (DAM) than many other software packages, so we’ll begin there as it is a source of confusion for many. Contexts 3 4 1 – fast window switcher app. The two basic ways you can have Capture One take care of your files are called Sessions and Catalogs. Catalogs are a familiar way of working for many but lack some key features that Lightroom and others have, such as easily importing and exporting between catalogs. Sessions, on the other hand, are self-contained folders that are designed to keep a specific shoot or project neat and tidy. Thus, the main difference between catalogs and sessions for our purposes is their intent. A catalog is designed more as an archive, whereas a session is designed to be a contained unit of a particular project or session.
Today, we’ll focus primarily on the Session workflow, which is how Capture One was originally designed. If you are interested more in how the catalogs work, the Capture One YouTube channel has an excellent video on the differences between the two. The basic workflow of sessions is create, import, select, post-process, export, backup. Within these, there are multiple ways to achieve most steps and plenty of customisation to be had along the way. Today’s focus will be getting the images into Capture One, organising them, and getting them out for delivery.
When you create a new Session (CTRL<CMD> + N), you’ll be presented with a dialog that allows you to customise the folders Capture One will automatically create for your workflow. These are based around a typical studio workflow and are designed to keep an entire project self-contained. We’ll be using this structure in a more generic way, so we can leave the values as they are. Just give the session a name and place it in the physical location on your hard drive that you would like to store it. Capture One will then create its session file and 4 primary subfolders in that folder. Now we’re ready to bring in some images.
There are a few ways to bring images into a Capture One Session, but the simplest and easiest way to keep everything self-contained is by placing them in the “Capture” folder (one of the 4 subfolders inside your session folder). You can do this via tethered capture, or simply dragging and dropping existing files into the Capture subfolder. Note that this is not a recursive operation, so Capture One will not watch additional subfolders within the Capture subfolder. Those need to be added manually as Session Favourites. For now, let’s keep it simple and have all images we wish to import placed in the Capture subfolder.
Capture One is set to automatically watch that folder and will begin bringing in images immediately and generating previews. For Lightroom users, here is where you will notice an extreme difference in Capture One. This process is exceptionally quick.
If you’re containing a single set of images within this Session, your next step is very straightforward. You need to select the images you want to post-process. Working in the way Capture One would like you to, you can make those selections using CTRL<CMD> + J. This will send (physically move on disk) the currently selected image to the Selects subfolder that was created with your Session. However, that does mean that in order to remove that from the selection, you’ll need to go into the Selects folder and move it back to the Capture folder. This also makes it difficult to compare a selected image with a non-selected image as Capture One does not allow you to show images from multiple folders at the same time.
It is for this reason that I choose to use colour tags to rate my images. You could also use star ratings to the same effect. This way, my images stay in the Capture folder and I can choose to show either my selection or the whole collection at a moment’s notice using filters to make comparisons if needed. For me, this is a more efficient way of working.
If you’re planning to use Sessions more like Lightroom’s catalog system (multiple folders of images in one Session), you can achieve a similar result by using Session Albums. After your images are imported into the session (Step 1), create a new Session Album and drag the images you want in that album there. This will allow you to quickly filter to images from just one set. It is important to note that these albums are just references within Capture One. You are not physically moving files on disk by doing this. From here, you can follow the steps above to make your selections within those Albums.
If you like to clean up your rejected images as you go, there are two ways to delete files in Capture One Sessions. You can physically remove the files from disk by using ALT<OPT> + DEL. This deletes them the same way your operating system does. You can also use CTRL<CMD> + DEL. This will move them to the Session Trash subfolder. This is great if you may want to retrieve them later. You can also permanently empty this trash folder at any time (recommended when you get to the backup stage as you’ll likely no longer want those files).
Here again, there are myriad options for all types of photographers, but we’ll focus on the new Fujifilm specific option in Capture One 12: using Film Simulations.
In Capture One, basic interpretations of raw files are set in the Base Characteristics tool. If you don’t see this in any of your tabs, right click in an empty area to add the tool. Once your camera is selected in the ICC Profile (usually done automatically), the Curve list will populate with all of the different Film Simulations Capture One Supports for your camera.
The first item in the list is “Auto.” This will automatically apply the curve for the Film Simulation you used while making the photo if it can be detected. There are also Film Extra Shadow, Film High Contrast, Film Standard, and Linear Response curves in the list. These are Capture One’s built-in interpretations of your Fujifilm raw file.
In order to select a different film simulation from the one you were working with at the time of capture, all you need to do is open the drop-down menu and click it. It is always a good idea to check this value as an initial step in your post-production workflow. This is especially true if you work with Capture One Styles as most of these will not select a new Curve as a base for their colours, so your Styles may not look as you intended them (consider if you were working in Acros while photographing and then apply what should be a colour Style over the top – you will simply get a tinted monochrome image).
From my tests, these curves are extremely close to Fujifilm’s own Film Simulations. Across the board, Capture One’s curves seem to produce a slightly brighter, slightly more saturated look. However, small differences like that are easy to correct if you so desire.
There are two basic ways to get images out of Capture One for web, print, or delivery. The first is using the Export Variants option. This is great if you’re only exporting a single set at a time and only need one output file. For example, if you want to export both social media resolution and print or archive resolution at the same time, Capture One will override your first export with your second. So, we’ll focus on the more robust tool, the Process tool.
By going into the Process tab, you are given all of your export options and can make as many presets (Process Recipes) as you would like (these can be selected simultaneously as well). Once you click process, everything is exported using all the Recipes you have selected. A good example of how to use this is my family session deliveries. I have two Recipes set up that export two different resolutions (smaller files for online use and larger ones for print use). These are both set to export to my Session’s Output Location sub-folder. By storing them here, they’re also contained within the Session folder. This means when I back up, the exported files will be backed up as well. If a client asks for the files down the road or I want to blog the session, I don’t even need to open Capture One in order to access them. I already have pre-made jpegs ready for delivery or online use.
This is where Capture One sessions are great. If you noticed, I encouraged you to use Capture One’s pre-made folders all the way through this workflow. That way, when it comes to backup time, you can simply drag and drop the Session folder onto your preferred archive drive and everything from your imported files to your delivered jpegs will be backed up in one self-contained folder.
As you can see, Sessions are a great way to work with your Fujifilm images. With Capture One’s implementation of Fujifilm’s Film Simulations, it has become a great choice for Fujifilm photographers now. Please let me know in the comments if you have any workflow or adaptation issues with Capture One. I’m happy to try and answer your questions! If you have any suggestions for Capture One users, drop them below as well! We’d love to hear how you make use of this software.

Lightroom 5 Tutorial for Beginners & First Time Users
Some Initial Impressions on ON1’s New Photo RAW 2017 From a Fujifilm Perspective
We’ve all seen various advertisements pop up promoting photography software claiming to be the next Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. In many cases, a clunky, poorly arranged user interface kills interest; and exceptions to this rule often look somewhat plagiarised. Where new software is given a fair chance, it usually fails to deliver as many features, it’s sluggish or it doesn’t offer something Adobe hasn’t already thought of. It takes something pretty compelling for me think “Hey, this is cool. This is really cool!” especially when the Adobe Creative Cloud software suite is so heavily programmed into my muscle memory. Capture One Pro 20 is impressive, feature rich and speedy software.
Whether you’ve put 10,000 hours into the Adobe Creative Cloud or you’re a complete beginner to photography and image editing as a whole, I think you should try it. You may even save a buck or two in the process as it might be all you ever need!
Capture One Pro 20 First Impressions
When I first installed the Capture One Pro 20 photography editing software, I realised this is not a replacement for Adobe Photoshop. It doesn’t try to be, but it does have to offer something Adobe cannot give for people like myself to be interested in it. Many of us are already tied into a paid Adobe subscription and are close to satisfied with what they offer.
Speed
When I installed Capture One Pro 20, I had been serendipitously researching the Sony a7r IV. Concerned editing the Sony a7r IV 61mp RAW files might challenge my system, out of pure curiosity, I tried a 150mp RAW file I had downloaded from the Phase One website. Immediately noticeable was how I could edit it at an almost identical speed compared to my Sony a7rII 42mp RAW files. From my limited understanding of the software, Capture One Pro 20 doesn’t render beyond what you view and so a camera’s megapixel count won’t matter much. If you preview a photograph in Adobe Lightroom Classic, it will do the “swirly thing” and several seconds later the result is shown in more detail; the bigger the photograph, the longer it takes. If you zoom into a photograph with Capture One Pro 20 you will not have to wait long at all. If you then move to another point of the photograph, it will render that i.e. it doesn’t render it all at once.
Capture One Pro 20 is far superior when initially importing an album. Adobe Lightroom might seem slightly quicker once all of the previews have been rendered, but it doesn’t suit my workflow and it’s all undone once something in the develop module has been changed; previews have to be rebuilt regardless of how small a change is.
Colour
The colours in Capture One Pro 20 are immediately noticeable and look more natural and similar to in camera JPGs. Ultimately it is subjective, but everyone I’ve spoken to who has used this software for a while prefers its colour, micro-contrast and speed. I think it’s why it has become an industry standard for various photographic genres around the globe.
Software Compatibility, Capture One Pro 20 & Adobe Photoshop CC Round-trip
Adobe Lightroom Classic makes it easy to do quick edits and open the file up in Adobe Photshop CC 2020. If you’re concerned Capture One Pro 20 won’t play nice, fear not. A Capture One Pro 20 and Adobe Photoshop CC round-trip is as simple as with Adobe Lightroom Classic. You can export as TIFFs or PSDs so you will not lose dynamic range, detail, etc. and the colours can all be kept from the Capture One Pro 20 software. PSD files are recognised in the photo browser as well.
User Interface
Capture One Pro 20’s user interface isn’t a plagiarism of Adobe’s, but you will be quite familiar with a lot of the tools e.g. curves, layers, the histogram tool, etc.
It was a pretty fast and easy transition for me to change from Adobe Lightroom Classic to Capture One Pro 20, but I recommend spending a while configuring the user interface and getting comfortable with it. If something doesn’t quite fit, the chances are it can be changed to your liking. For example, by holding down the ‘alt’ key and dragging ‘left click’, you can move the “tool tabs” around. This can be particularly useful if you edit images in a certain order e.g. you start with cropping, then colour, then curves, and so on.
Show Folder Hierarchy, Side Panels and Shortcuts
You might like to use the “Migration” layout. It’s found by pressing ‘alt + w + w’ and clicking “Migration”. Alternatively click ‘Window’ -> ‘Workspace’ -> ‘Migration’.
Personally, I prefer to use the ‘default’ workspace with the tools swapped so they’re on the right side of the screen: press ‘ctrl + shift + t’, alternatively you can go to ‘view’ -> ‘customise tools’ -> ‘place right’.
By clicking the 9 little squares below the “import” button, towards the top left of the screen, and stretching out the window so two photographs are shown side by side, I can browse photographs to my liking. This method shows how many stars a photograph has, whether it’s flagged and its filename. Capture One Pro 20 can show photographs at the bottom of the screen, like Adobe Lightroom, but I’ve grown to prefer this layout. “Ctrl + b” toggles the photo browser.
Stars can be used for all kinds of things and not necessarily to rate how good a photograph is. For example, if you always tag your important ambient photographs in camera with two stars, and flash photographs with three stars, it will make it easier to do composite edits. I digress…
After you’ve imported your library (‘File’ -> ‘Import Catalogue’ -> ‘Lightroom Catalogue’), I suggest you click the ‘Library’ tool tab. On the side you will notice three dots, click ‘Show Folder Hierarchy’. This displays the photograph structure like Adobe Lightroom. Unfortunately you will have to click a sub-folder to see your photographs in the photo browser. Clicking 2019 for example will show “0” by the side.
For future imports, you will probably want to change the default configuration. Go to ‘File’ -> ‘Import Images’ or “Ctrl + Shift + I” and where it says “Import To” -> “Destination” click the appropriate main folder where you store your photographs. You can copy and paste the following information for the “Sub Folder”:
This method creates separate folders upon importing, for example: C:Photographs20192019-122019-12-25. If you do all of this correctly, you can import photographs with either Adobe Lightroom or Capture One Pro 20, and you will not have to move folders around. If you import photographs in Capture One Pro 20, you will have to “synchronise” folders in Adobe Lightroom to recognise the new photographs. Once you get used to this software, it is unlikely you will want to use Adobe Lightroom though but during a transition period, it’s quite nice to be able to use both.
I also go to preferences, exposure warning, enable shadow warning and set that to “2”. I set exposure warning to “248”. For Sony camera users, if you shoot with creative style set to neutral -2 on contrast and set a custom zebra to 109, you will find your RGB histogram in camera is showing a similar RAW clipping point (when you first see zebras stop pushing) to Capture One Pro 20.
Tool Differences
Capture One Pro 12 0 0 – Raw Workflow Software Developer
As previously stated, you’ll be familiar with how a lot of the tools operate but it’s worth understanding all of them and how they differ from each other. For example, “process” can export one photograph and it be used in the exact same way as the “export variant” tool. It is a lot more sophisticated than that though and you can export a photograph in various different file formats, so let’s pretend you want a 1024px for Instagram, a full-resolution JPG for your client and a TIFF file saved on your server somewhere, you can do that.
The HDR tool has been changed since Capture One Pro 12 and it’s now more similar to Adobe Lightroom Classic.
The default distortion setup is different and I find you have to play around with it a bit to mimic Adobe Lightroom. But as with everything, you can save settings and you might find Capture One Pro 20 to be superior by default.
The most impressive tool I’ve found which really sets it apart is with curves. The common “S” point curve to add contrast works as you’d expect, but Capture One Pro 20 allows you to adjust “Luma curves”. These are a lot like regular RGB curves except saturation isn’t interfered with as much. I much prefer them, especially when working with landscape photographs.
Grain is far superior and more realistic.
Layers operate like Adobe Photoshop and a new layer will allow you to adjust everything with sliders set to “0” (but it will obviously keep settings from the layer below). If you’ve pushed a setting to the maximum on a previous layer, e.g. exposure, you will like this.
The tools in general seem to work quicker and smoother than Adobe Lightroom. I also find that the white balance readings seem a bit more accurate. Type 5500K into Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw and try the same with Capture One Pro 20… you will see what I mean, haha.
Colours
Capture One Pro 20 has an impressive array of tools for adjusting colours. They’re intuitive and powerful.
There are numerous ways to adjust colours, including global hue, saturation and luminosity sliders. You can also use the “eye dropper” tool and click any point of a photograph, sample its colour and adjust that colour’s values. Separate “dials” allow you to split tone e.g. add a blue tint to shadows and a yellow tint to highlights.
All of this can be saved into a “style” so that you can apply these settings to other photographs. Settings can be “copied and pasted” to separate photographs as well.
Configuring ICC Colour Profiles with an X-Rite Colour Passport in Capture One Pro 20
Capture One Pro 12 0 0 – Raw Workflow Software Free
At some point you’ll probably want to create an ICC profile using an X-Rite Colour Passport. Creating an ICC profile based on an X-Rite Colour Passport in Capture One Pro 20 is easy but it does require you to change a few settings to begin with. Once you’ve set it up, you can do it much quicker the next time around:
Open Capture One Pro 20
Open the “base characteristics” tab
– “icc profile” –> show all –> effects –> “no colour correction”
– curve –> “linear response”
+ export as “variant”
– format –> tiff & 16 bit
– options –> uncompressed
– icc profile –> adobe RGB (1998)
+ save to desktop
Close Capture One Pro 20
Open X-Rite colour calibration software and click “ICC TIFF”
– drag the file into the window
– export to desktop (the capture one folder has permissions disallowing it to be saved there by default)
+ move the exported file into the “C:Program FilesPhase OneCapture One 20Color ProfilesDSLR” folder but name it similarly to the others e.g. SonyA7RM2-Generic –> SonyA7RM2-Happy
Relaunch Capture One Pro 20
My Capture One Pro 20 and Adobe Photoshop CC Workflow
Once I’d figured out the initial set up and got used to that, I was ready to edit. I’ve had this software since the Beta now and I feel quite familiar with it. A lot of my photography involves changing the white balance, contrast, colours, lighting a bit (dodge and burn) and correcting verticals, often to mimic a tilt and shift lens. Sometimes I will do more complicated composite edits.
With all of the tool tabs and whatnot arranged in the order I work, I don’t have to scroll up and down and back up and so on through the tools, like I would with Adobe Lightroom Classic.
I now mostly use Luma curves instead of regular RGB curves, as they interfere with saturation less.
The only major interference I’ve noticed with my workflow is the key stoning tool. It doesn’t have the artificial intelligence Adobe Lightroom Classic offers and sometimes it takes a little while longer to fix converging verticals. This is probably mitigated by the fact the sliders are all less sluggish than the tools found with Adobe Lightroom Classic. I realise I sound like a broken record at this point, but it’s Adobe Lightroom Classic I have a problem with, not Adobe Photoshop CC 2020. I still use Adobe Photoshop CC 2020 for dodge and burning, and more complicated edits in general. For me, it’s about using the right tool for the job.
Pricing
Capture One Pro 20’s pricing is nice. You can buy an “eternal” license which means you do not need to pay a monthly fee. It will include a certain amount of major updates for the software and after that you will need to upgrade. If you upgrade your camera infrequently, it is likely perfect for what you want. The other pricing system is rather like Adobe where you pay a monthly fee but you will be guaranteed to have the latest and greatest software.
Conclusion
The Capture One Pro 20 software makes Adobe Lightroom obsolete in my workflow but it also encroaches somewhat on Adobe Photoshop’s territory with the addition of layers; however, it doesn’t replace it nor does it try to. If you are a photographer that does a lot of colour correction but you use some of the more complicated tools (like liquify) sparingly, you may find Capture One Pro 20 is all you need.
If there’s one thing you should take from this article, it is that Luma Curves, the superior colour rendition of Capture One Pro 20 and the faster rendering are the three biggest reasons as to why you should give Capture One Pro 20 a fair shot in your photography workflow. Its handling of colour and speed is unsurpassed.
Room for Improvement
Auto keystone adjustment is only applicable to images captured with a Phase One IQ series digital back.
I’d like Phase One to talk with camera manufacturers (especially Sony, for selfish reasons) and request orientation sensor information (there’s already a level in most cameras, so it is possible) be sent to EXIF (if it is not already). From there, I’d like Phase One to utilise this information and have it be interpreted by their Capture One Pro 20 image editing software.
In practical use, pretend you took a photograph and you had to point the camera up by 15 degrees to include buildings, but it left wonky verticals. The software could then correct the converging verticals based on the information provided in the EXIF data. Orientation sensors are not accurate to within 0.00001 degrees, but they are precise enough to get the ball rolling. Another practical example would be to correct a tilted horizon from a rushed photograph.
The second—unrelated to EXIF data—autocorrect keystone option I’d like to see is the Adobe Lightroom method, where the image is analysed and corrected accordingly.
Unfortunately you cannot click a folder containing multiple folders, and it shows all of the photographs in the photo browser. You will have to click a sub-folder to see them.
You cannot geotag photographs like you can with Adobe Lightroom. I often use my smartwatch’s GPX files.
Please note that none of these are deal breakers at all.
