- There's plenty new in Caption One Pro 20.
Before I get to the new stuff, we probably should talk
about the name for a second, all right?
Because the last version, was version 12.
And then, now it's 20, and when I heard on that,
was that they wanted this version to be very modern,
very in-step with what's going on, and they thought
that the name would help better reflect that.
So, I'm willing to go with that.
So, you're not crazy if you think that you fell asleep
and missed the last seven versions of it,
you didn't. It's going from 12 to 20,
and that's where we are right now.
So, I'm good with that, I'm used to it already.
So they talk a little bit about here, we're on their page
and, again, they're really trying to, you know,
make this feel as good as it operates.
Capture One Pro's always been great under the hood
some people love the UI, some aren't as crazy about it.
They're trying to make more people crazy about the UI
and they're also trying to improve some of the
controls, you know, more contrast controls
and that's especially true in the highlights
and shadows. They now added whites and blacks to that,
so in what they call the high dynamic range panel,
they've added a couple of sliders there and
they're quite nice.
They've made the color panel better and we're
going to see some of that right now and
they worked on noise reduction too which is always good.
So they improved the color editor, the basic color editor,
so advanced and skin tone are pretty much the same,
but they did work a lot on the basic color editor
and I like it a lot.
And we're going to spend a lot of time on color in
this training because it's something that Capture One
does very well and there's lots to talk about there
and so, on this particular training I said,
"Hey, let's talk about color", so we're going to do lots of
good color stuff and we will explore this new basic panel.
In high dynamic range, which is what they call
"Highlights and Shadows Adjustment", they added two
sliders so you can set the white point and the black point.
It's handy.
It's really nice and they've always been very good
at recovering detail and highlights and shadows,
so in this case, a good tool just got better
and of course we'll take a look at that.
Noise reduction, always great to have that
built in to the app so you don't have to go out to a
third party to do that and we do take a look
at noise reduction and see how well it works and
I think it worked very well
(laughs)
I like it a lot so noise reduction again, another
improvement.
Just overall the UI, they're trying to make it
snappier, trying to make it more responsive.
This next one right here, the crop tool, this is
probably the favorite change for most
existing Capture One users because
finally the crop tool just really feels.. well- modern.
(laughs)
It feels great.
The other one was effective but always felt a
little clunky. The new one is fabulous,
I really like it a lot, very good.
And then finally the last thing I wanted to
talk about here, they added support for DNG files
and they're talking about in terms of drones but I mean,
this isn't limited to drones, anyone who
likes to capture in DNG will be happy about this.
So those are the biggies,
there are little things too that we're going to
talk about along the way, but those are the
broad brush strokes for the things that THEY'RE
happy about and they want to talk about in
Caption One Pro 20.
