Capture One 20
Capture One 20 is a professional photo management and RAW editing application from Phase One, used by photographers for tethered shooting, culling, colour grading, and batch processing. It supports a wide range of camera RAW formats and offers advanced tools for exposure correction, white balance, local adjustments, and lens profile corrections. The application is typically used in studio workflows and by photographers who require precise colour and tonal control.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCapture One 20 has reached end-of-life and will not receive a native Apple Silicon build — Phase One has explicitly stated they will not be updating version 20 for M-series Macs. While the Intel build still runs under Rosetta 2 today, it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), giving you just over two years to migrate. The straightforward path is to upgrade to the latest version of Capture One, which has been shipping with native Apple Silicon support for several years. Visit captureone.com to download the current release and review the subscription or perpetual-licence options. Phase One offers migration paths for existing Capture One 20 users, so check their upgrade pricing. If cost is a concern, consider professional alternatives like Adobe Lightroom Classic (native on Apple Silicon) or Darktable (free, open-source, native), though they differ somewhat in workflow and capabilities from Capture One's approach.
