What’s new in Capture One PRO 3.7.7

Introducing support for the all new P+ series of Phase One digital backs
The P+ Series - the new generation of powerful, precision digital backs from Phase One - opens new opportunities for the world’s leading photographers by raising the standards for digital image quality, flexibility, speed and durability. With the new P+ series Phase One introduces OptiColor+, a unique image processing algorithm, which delivers amazingly high color accuracy. OptiColor+ maintains colors in deep shadows and optimizes skin tones to perfection. P+ also includes the Dynamic+ technology which ensures less noise at all ISO settings and enables professional photographers to take photography to extreme limits e.g. low light photography. New ISO 1600 capacity is introduced in the P 30+ digital back. The XPose+ technology (patent pending) from Phase One enables exposures of up to 1 hour, which is enough time to create fantastic images by using creative techniques such as extreme light painting.

New camera support
· Phase One P 45+, P 30+, P 21+, P 25+, P 20+
· Leica DIGILUX 3
· Fuji S5
· Nikon D40
· Pentax K10D, K100D
· Olympus E-400


Improved camera support
· Phase One P-series digital backs
- Updated and improved White Balance presets and Kelvin curves
· Leica M8
- New profile for use with the IR cut-off filter
· Canon 1D MK II N
- Updated color matrix for more correct color renditions

Solved issues
· LivePreview: ‘Angle’ renamed to ‘Rotation’ in the User Interface
· LivePreview: Transfer timeout adjusted for extreme large transfers

Known issues
· Tethered capture with the Canon EOS 30D and 400D is not supported
· Processing to scale factors at 120-170% may present artifacts in sub pixel details
· Occasional a green line through part of the image can be seen in Olympus E-500 images. Appears in the preview and in the developed image
· Using arbitrary rotation can make the preview unsharp for some images. The developed images are not affected by this issue.
· Phase One digital backs may fail to connect properly when using Phase One repeater on a laptop with built-in 4-pin FireWire.
· Some meta data fields are not applied correctly when outputting to jpeg format
· Processed images from Phase One digital backs P 21, P 30 and P 45 images, which have been rotated arbitrarily show black edges
· Images restored from trash cannot be processed
· The image output dimensions can on some cameras be a little smaller than the dimensions supplied by the camera manufacturer. This will result in a slightly smaller image when developed. An example of this could be the Canon EOS 300D / Rebel, when you output the full image in Capture One the dimensions are 3072 x 2040 where as the Camera specification says 3072x2048. Currently no work around
