Capture One 20
Capture One 20 is a professional photo editing and raw processing software by Phase One, used by photographers and retouchers for culling, colour grading, tethered shooting and batch processing. It supports raw files from hundreds of camera models and offers advanced tools for exposure, white balance, advanced colour editor, lens correction and customizable workflows. Capture One 20 is an older version in Phase One's product line and has been succeeded by newer releases (Capture One 21 and beyond).
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPhase One has confirmed they will not be providing a native Apple Silicon build of Capture One 20 and recommend upgrading to Capture One 21 or newer to run natively on M-series Macs. Capture One 20 runs under Rosetta 2 on modern Macs today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this version will stop launching entirely on that release. Because Phase One has explicitly ended support for Capture One 20 on Apple Silicon hardware, upgrading is your only path forward if you want to keep using Capture One past 2028. Visit the Phase One website to check upgrade pricing from Capture One 20 to the current release — many vendors offer discounted upgrades for existing users. If you are not ready to upgrade now, Capture One 20 will continue to work under Rosetta 2 until September 2028; budget time to evaluate the newer release and migrate your workflows, catalogs and presets before that deadline.
