When I’m in the studio, Capture One is what I use and have done so since Apple end of lifed Aperture. You can order Capture One 22 from B&H or direct. I choose the full version for the times I’m shooting with my Leica.
Here are the new features. Not listed here but included is support for the Sony a7 IV.
Capture One 22 Launches Features
- Panorama Stitching—Easily merge multiple photos into a single panorama. Panorama stitching is a great way to create sweeping vistas and wide panoramic images. Also used to increase the megapixel count in your photographs and create imagery with a shallow depth of field simultaneously with a wide angle of view using the Brenizer Method.
- HDR Merging—Capture One HDR Merging allows users to quickly combine multiple shots taken with different exposure settings into one image. This allows the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows to be captured and used in the photo, creating natural looking high dynamic range images that are more true to how the human eye sees the scene.
- Wireless Tethering for Canon—Enjoy the most stable and performant wireless tethering on the market for select camera models. This native, fast, and reliable Wi-Fi tethering solution is a Capture One first, cutting the cord and allowing unrestricted movements, a safer working environment, and improving the overall workflow of studio/staged photographers. Support for more cameras to come.
- Windows Improved Catalog Performance —Catalog performance on Windows is improved. Browse, filter, and search albums and folders is faster.
- Capture One Live—This new service will allow photographers to instantly share photos both in real-time. They can also share already captured photos. Your group can then view and rate them directly on any web browser. The overall aim is to enable easy, fast and safe collaboration.
- Auto Rotate —Automatically rotate large image batches simultaneously.
