Capture One

Capture One is a commercial photo editing application focused on RAW files. Photographers use it to develop and organize images from their cameras, with controls for color, tone, detail and local adjustments, and it is listed under both design and media and streaming.

A hallmark of the product is tethered capture, which means connecting a camera to a computer so shots appear in the software as they are taken. This is widely used in studio, fashion and product photography, where teams review images live on a monitor. The vendor site could not be read when this entry was prepared, so confirm the current feature set, supported cameras and licensing on the Capture One website.

Capture One is proprietary software installed on the user's computer. It is relevant to professional and serious amateur photographers who need detailed color control and a strong tethering workflow.
