The first major update of Capture One 20 (13.1) is finally here!
Previously, developers unveiled some details of this release; now we have a full update features list:
- New Before/After Tool
- Reworked Heal and Clone tools
- Capture One for Nikon
- New Nikon Color Profiles
- Enhanced Lightroom importer
Plus, Capture One 20 now has a new logo and has added some other minor improvements.
Download Capture One 20 and let’s see how all the new features work in practice.
The new Capture One 20 update brings the real Before/After tool, and it works just like it should.
You can now quickly compare your edit to the original image just by clicking a shortcut Y.
The new tool has two modes, and you can toggle them using Y+Shift shortcut.
Full View Mode
The first mode, Full View, fits perfectly the need to switch between edited and original images quickly.
Note that the original image, here, always includes composition adjustments, so as to make it easier to compare before/after shots.
If you add some new adjustments, Capture One auto-switches you to the edited variant.
Split View Slider
In the second mode, you see Before/After images on the same screen, divided by a moveable slider. The original image is located on the left and the adjusted variant on the right side.
Split View works excellently when you need to compare some particular parts of your edit. You can continue editing in the Split View mode; additional adjustments would still appear on the After variant.
Also, it’s really convenient to compare styles and presets now:
BTW, you can get some of these Capture One styles for free just by subscribing to my newsletter.
Both modes work well with multiple selected images:
The old Alt+Reset feature has been removed in the new Capture One, which makes total sense.
Ok, long-awaited Before/After tool looks great, now, what about updated retouch features?
Capture One developers did excellent work on enhancing Heal and Clone tools for this upgrade.
Heal tool now finds source points automatically, and the tool works way more intelligently than before.
What is even more important, now you can have unlimited heals on one layer. That’s a real game-changer for retouch workflow.
Previously, users have been limited to 16 layers and 100 spot removals. Now, you can do all the editing in Capture One, including complex retouching.
In the new Capture One, you have all control over the retouch areas.
If you need to set a source point manually, you can do this just as before. Hold down the Alt key to set a source point before masking or select an existing arrow to change its position.
Also, when an arrow is selected, the new masking will relate to this source point.
To delete selected area, simply press Backspace; The erasing of the mask removes the arrow as well.
BTW, you can easily hide arrows just by moving the cursor away from the viewer or by unchecking Display Arrow mark in the Heal Brush Settings.
Clone and Heal layers now have their own brushes with all the regular settings. For instance, the Flow setting allows you to increase retouching impact with each cursor movement. It works perfectly for portraits when you need to retouch skin carefully.
Plus, you can change the Heal or Clone layer opacity to tone down retouch on an image.
However, updated tools have inherited a critical restriction: Capture One still uses the original image as a source for retouching. Thus, you can’t retouch an area and build new retouch based on this correction.
Also, you can’t perform healing and cloning on Offline files, which is pretty understandable.
Apart from the new Before/After tool and enhanced retouching, this update also brings a bunch of new color profiles for Nikon cameras.
A nice surprise is awaiting Nikon photographers in the new update.
Capture One now offers a special version of the software for Nikon camera owners.
Capture One for Nikon has two versions: Express and Pro.
Nikon Express is a completely free version of Capture One with a basic set of image editing tools.
Nikon Pro offers all the professional features of Capture One and comes with a special, lower price tag.
Capture One developers have replicated Nikon Picture Control color profiles in Capture One. Thus, you can now get the same color for your RAW files as you have shooting JPG.
The difference between color profiles is quite noticeable, and for some images, I’ll surely prefer the new Nikon profiles.
At the moment, the new profiles are available for these camera models: D6, D5, D850, D810/D810A, D800, D780, D750, D610, Z7, Z6, D500, D7500, D5600, D5500, D3500, D3400, D3300, Z50.
Also, in the update, you’ll find some improvements to Lightroom catalogs import.
Firstly, the import process is more transparent now; you can see what will happen after the import.
Secondly, you can now import Smart Previews (or Offline images in terms of Capture One). Once the original files become available, Capture One syncs them automatically.
New Logo
Capture One developers haven’t changed the logo when jumping from 12 to 20 versions. Now they suddenly introduced it in Capture One 13.1 (technically it’s 13.1, not 20.1).
However, the new logo looks pretty nice! After having it for several years, I’m missing an old white one a bit; it’s always tough to get used to a new design.
Capture One (for Sony) and Capture One Fujifilm have new logos as well:
New onboarding flow
For new users, developers have added a new onboarding screen to get familiar with Capture One features. Here you can customize your interface lightly and even get sample images for your very first editing.
Note that you’ll not see this screen, if you already have a previous version of Capture One installed.
Workspace changes
In the update, the default workspace has been modified a bit; now, some of the tools are collapsed. Also, developers have merged three “Simplified” workspaces into one, and the Black & White editing
workspace had been removed.
New cameras and lenses
Apart from new features, the update brings some new camera and lens profiles.

So, have you already tried the new Capture One 20 (13.1)?
If you have missed this free update, here is my overview of all the new features.
Today I would like to share some additional thoughts on Capture One 13.1 release.
Capture One for Nikon handles Nikon RAWs only and has two versions:
- Capture One Express for Nikon is a 100% free software with a basic set of editing tools.
- Capture One Pro for Nikon has all the regular Pro tools with a way more affordable price tag.
In other words, it’s all about the price. If you’re using regular Pro, you’ll get all the features, including the new Nikon Color Profiles. You don’t need to download Capture One for Nikon, all the new features are available in the general 13.1 release.
Reading comments, I have seen these two questions come up here and there:
Can I switch from Capture One Pro 20 to Capture One Pro 20 for Nikon and get a refund?
I don’t think so, there were no refund offers previously for Sony and Fujifilm releases. Keep in mind that all branded versions are designed to attract new Capture One users in the first place. Still, if you have bought Capture One Pro just before Nikon release or you’re on a subscription plan, it makes sense to contact Capture One support and ask for an offer.
Can I upgrade from Capture One Pro 12 to Capture One Pro 20 for Nikon?
Capture One 20 Pro 13.1
According to Capture One twitter that is possible:
Capture One 20 13.1 Free
However, at CaptureOne.com, there is no such upgrade option, so I suppose you need to contact Capture One support to receive it.
I just love the new Before/After tool!
Still, some of you might have noticed that default Before/After hotkeys did not work if you had a custom set of keyboard shortcuts. The point is that new shortcuts have been added to the Default hotkey set. Thus, for custom sets, you need to setup Before/After shortcuts manually.
I’ve retouched a good bunch of images with the updated Heal and Clone tools, and they work just wonderfully. Of course, you still need to switch to Photoshop for really complex retouching, but all the routine retouch can now be easily done in Capture One.
Nevertheless, there is one thing which you need to get used to in the updated tools:
Always, always deselect an arrow!
If you have set a source point manually, you need to deselect related arrow after that. Otherwise, Capture One will use the same source point for all further masks. This is what really had stalled my process several times, and you need to be really cautious with this one. Premiere pro 2018 download mac.
Also, keep in mind that retouch layers don’t act as regular layers anymore.
Capture One 20 Pro 13.1.2.37 Tnt
Most of the layer tools are not available for Heal/Clone layers now. For instance, you can’t refine or feather Heal/Clone layer mask in the new update. Furthermore, you can’t switch an adjustment layer to Heal/Clone layer as before. Still, I think the new features are worth these downsides.
Here I have found a useful description on how each new Nikon profile affects the image:
- Standard (applies standard processing to make well-balanced images)
- Neutral (applies a natural effect to preserve the original’s scene color and gradation)
- Vivid (puts an emphasis on a subject’s contrast and saturation)
- Monochrome (creates a black and white version)
- Portrait (helps skin tones look more lifelike)
- Landscape (emphasizes blue and green tones)
- Flat (retains a wide range of tones)
I have seen many complaints about the fact that the update resets your workspace. That’s fine, some Capture One updates do affect your current workspace, and you just need to have it saved.
Here is a useful tutorial on Capture One interface customization and managing saved workspaces. Lightroom cc 2015 mac download.
Yep. Capture One 20 (13.1) update name looks pretty weird indeed.
This had started when Capture One developers skipped the 13th version and released Capture One 20 after Capture One 12. However, technically, Capture One 20 release had a build number 13.0.0.
Still, the first few updates of Capture One 20 were named 20.0.1, 20.0.2, etc. Thus, users were expecting to see Capture One 20.1 release, just as predicted, with 11.1 and 12.1 versions. Instead of this, developers offered a new name: Capture One 20 (13.1).
Capture One 20 13.1 Pro
Sooo… how is this going to work with future releases? Will we see Capture One 21 at all, or are the developers going to release Capture One 20 (14.0.0)? Or would they just get rid of 20 completely and release only Capture One (14.0.0)?
So many questions. So few answers. What are your thoughts on this?
