PRESS RELEASE
Phase One Releases Capture One Pro 7
New Processing Engine Drives an Image Quality Revolution
COPENHAGEN, October 25, 2012 — Phase One, the world’s leader in open-platform, high-end camera systems and solutions, today released Capture One Pro 7. Capture One Pro is the advanced digital imaging software for professional photographers who require superior image quality, maximum workflow efficiency and the flexibility to work the way they want to work.
Capture One Pro 7 is a major release built on a new processing engine with new and advanced professional tools that dramatically boost out-of-the-box image quality, offering exquisite detail and color rendition. Powerful digital asset management functionality, derived from years of technical expertise built into the Media Pro catalog system, has been added to offer more options to select, search and organize image files. And the world’s most advanced tethering shooting solution now includes Live View support for selected DSLRs. “Phase One engineers have unique advantages in developing image processing software: their high-end digital hardware expertise, their enduring passion for perfection and their collaboration with some of the world’s best photographers,” said Linda K. Poulsen, Software Marketing Director, Phase One.
“Image quality is always our prime directive,” said Niels V. Knudsen, Vice President of Innovation and Application Development, Phase One’s popular ‘Image Quality Professor.’ “We are proud to introduce what we believe is the world’s best professional imaging software, and we wish to thank photographers around the globe for inspiring us to meet their needs for high quality images with a natural look and feel.”
A Revolution in Image Quality
Advancements in the Capture One raw processing engine yield vastly more accurate rendition of details and colors. While medium format camera systems with Capture One Pro achieve the highest-level results, DSLR users will see stellar performance from their cameras too. A highly advanced noise reduction algorithm has been added that gives stunning performance at even high ISO levels. Precision adjustment tools offer greatly enhanced dynamic range for astonishing details in both shadows and highlights, reveal fine details and structure, reduce the effect of haze and give images a more three-dimensional look and add local contrast and saturation to images for extra punch. The new OpenCL implementation yields faster browsing and higher-speed image processing.
Powerful Digital Asset Management
Next to the familiar and proven sessions approach, Capture One Pro users can now organize their image files via comprehensive and flexible catalogs. Incorporating powerful digital asset management features found in Media Pro, they can work with multiple catalogs at the same time; share catalogs with other users; switch between different catalogs without relaunching; easily tag images for later search and retrieval; and browse and adjust images when the original images files are offline.
Workflow Advances
From capture to final output, Capture One Pro 7 has been optimized for efficiency. Capture One Pro’s support for instant tethered shooting is renowned for its ease (just plug in and shoot) with both medium format and high-end DSLR cameras. Now Live View is available for selected DSLRs aiding composition and critical focus.
Capture One Pro 7 has a selection of default lens profiles that can be chosen to automatically correct any unwanted optical issues. Capture One Pro 7 speeds delivery of final image files to clients and colleagues in whatever format, size, or resolution they need.

Capture One 6.4.3 & Later
Optimal speed through OpenCL/GPU
Introduction
OpenCL is a fairly new open standard defining how to interface and utilize many processing cores with graphics cards (GPU) and multiprocessor CPUs. OpenCL is short for Open Compute Language.
OpenCL essentially enables effective utilization of thousands of compute units with modern graphics cards. As of November 2010, two major companies have developed drivers for OpenCL: NVidia and AMD. For Mac OS X these drivers are part of the operating system, where the drivers have to be installed manually under Windows.
The driver itself performs runtime compilation dedicated to the graphics card in the machine at hand. Only relatively new GPU cards have enough "compute power" to be utilized effectively. Below we have a list of supported hardware.
How to enable - what to expect
· Setting the preference to "auto" enables the feature, if you have enough GPU cores
· Fast interaction when adjusting settings - providing live feedback
· Speed improvements depends greatly on the size of the viewer and the number of cores of the GPU
Next versions will continue to expand the use of OpenCL for all processing tasks.
Windows driver requirements
· For AMD/ATI graphics: AMD Stream 2.2, Catalyst 10.10 or higher Download here pick: AMD Catalyst™ Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) Technology Edition
· For Nvidia graphics: NVidia Display driver version 260.99 or higher Download here pick "download".
In case you have a 32bit system use the 32bit versions of the drivers above.
Limitation in functionality
Certain Capture One settings will bypass the use of OpenCL and use the normal processing pipeline. These currently include:
· Use of LCC
· Use of BW tool
· Use of Sharpening falloff
· Use of Watermark
· Local Adjustments
· Use of Spot Removal
Known issues
· Unable to function correctly for Leaf AptusII_12 (raw file too large to fit in contiguous GPU memory - using current driver)
· Unable to support 2 GPU cards currently - need to disable one
Mac
· Not working for Mac 32bit
Windows
· For Windows 64 bit you have to run the 64bit version of Capture One in order to utilize OpenCL
In case of problems using OpenCL
· Turn off OpenCL in the Capture One preferences
How to completely disable OpenCL, in case of a crash at startup
· Windows: run the script DONOT_useopencl.reg and restart Capture One (the download also contains a restore script to re-enable OpenCL useopencl.reg) Download here
· Mac: Run this script “ToggleOpenCL.app” - disable OpenCL and restart Capture One Download here

Recommended “Best Performance”
As of December 14, 2011 the best interactive performance will be experienced by use of these GPU cards:
Mac Systems:
• NVidia GeForce GTX 285
Windows Systems:
• NVidia 580GTX, Quadro 6000, AMD 5870
The performance of the GPU cards severely depends on the used OpenCL driver, and we expect a
performance increase when the drivers mature for both platforms.
