Phase One Releases Capture One Pro 8.2 – Update adds most advanced color grading options of any RAW converter
COPENHAGEN, March 24, 2015 – Phase One today released Capture One Pro 8.2 with more tools to deliver a competitive edge for professional photographers. Capture One Pro is renowned for its optimal raw file conversion and intuitive image editing for more productive workflows. Customers are professionals working under tight deadlines, who demand the highest-quality imaging from their raw files, artists seeking to distinguish their work from the mainstream, and enthusiasts who just want the best.
“Capture One Pro 8.2 marks the next step in Phase One’s continuous effort in delivering high quality tools for professional photographers,” said Jeppe Skjerning, Product Manager, Phase One. “The market needs are always evolving, and this release meets the increasing demand for creating beautiful images easier; delivering files faster and utilizing hardware better.”
New Color Balance Tool offers the most advanced color grading solutions of any RAW converter. With the new 3-Way Color Balance, no knowledge of color blending or third party plug-ins are required to create beautifully color graded images. Color tone changes can be made in the shadows, the highlights or the mid-tones, giving the user a quick and powerful way to create beautiful images.
Instead of manipulating RGB channels of Levels and Curves, the new Color Balance Tool offers an equally powerful solution with a much simpler process. Brightness values are better preserved in the shadows and highlights by using this method. And with Capture One Pro’s uniquely customizable workspace, this new tool can be pulled out of the tool bar and enlarged to suit a user’s requirements for precision and flexibility.
Dynamic Locations supercharge workflow flexibility. Now the location of processed images — or the location of imported images — can be dynamically modified, simply by using a new set of Tokens. For example, files could be sorted automatically based on a star rating, color tag, variant position and many other user-specified criteria. This feature fully streamlines the input and output process on busy shoots.
Maximize viewing on advanced single and dual monitor setups. To take advantage of newer, higher resolution 4k monitors, the maximum resolution of image previews has increased from 2880 to 5120 pixels. High quality previews are available immediately as images are added to a Capture One Catalog or Session, to facilitate fast browsing and scrolling through thumbnails.
