Capture
Capture One is a professional RAW photo editor and digital asset management platform developed by Phase One. It is used by professional photographers, studios and photography teams to process RAW files from over 500 camera models, manage large photo libraries, perform tethered shooting (capturing directly into the software from a connected camera), and collaborate on projects in real time. The app includes comprehensive color grading, masking and layering tools, AI-powered image adjustments, and integration with Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Capture One is available as both a desktop application for macOS and Windows, and as a web and mobile offering for distributed workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCapture One has shipped native Apple Silicon support since version 21 (released in 2020), so if you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, updating to the latest version will give you noticeably better performance, faster RAW processing and improved battery life on M-series Macs. The simplest path is to launch Capture One, go to Help → Check for Updates, and install the latest release. Alternatively, download the current installer directly from Phase One's website. If Capture One was originally installed via subscription or a previous download, the built-in update mechanism will pull the current native build. Capture One 21 and all later versions are Universal Binaries that include native arm64 support, so any recent update will put you on a native build automatically.
