The idea being you can straighten a whole set of images at once.

The old one only worked with certain Phase One cameras (I’m guessing they had digital level information in the metadata) but the new one uses AI to automatically straighten your image. Auto-LevelĪnother new feature is a newly re-worked auto-level feature. It’s not unusable, but it needs some work to improve the interface (or give it one) and add key features like deghosting options and automatic lens corrections. Overall, I think the HDR merging could be better. You do get this with Lightroom occasionally too, but on two of the shots I tested, this was noticeable. I did notice a few occasions where you would get issues with seams being a little visible. On other tests with 5 images, it was somewhere between 5-10 seconds. On my M1 MacBook Pro, to merge 9 20 mp images it took about 15 seconds. I did find though, that sometimes, doing the same images in Lightroom and Capture One would give you slightly different results (different perspective on the final shot etc) but for the most part, they are pretty good.

For the most part, the results were perfectly fine, and broadly in line with what you would get with Lightroom. I had some from my archive, and I even went out and shot a few specifically. I’ve tried this on several sets of images over the past week. This seems like a glaring omission, and I’m not certain why they would leave this out, unless there’s some weird patent issue or something. You’re left with black empty areas around the image, and you have to then crop it manually. This is a very useful option to make the resulting file more manageable.Īt this point, you’ve probably noticed something missing from the screenshot above. If you have something like a 100mp camera, and you shoot a panorama with 6 images for example, the resulting panorama will be huge. One option that it has that Lightroom doesn’t is the ability to scale the resulting panorama. I had thought that maybe it would let you deselect an image so that it's not included in the stitch, but they don’t seem to be selectable. The weird thing here is that the thumbnails look like they have check boxes on them, but these don’t seem to do anything. The main viewer will give you a preview of the panorama, and across the bottom are thumbnails of the selected images. This will open up the options window where you can select the panorama type. You can also find this command in the Image menu. To stitch a Panorama, you select the images you want to combine, and then right click on them and select Stitch Panorama from the contextual menu. They do say that it doesn’t work well with wide-angle lenses and recomend you shoot narroer than 35mm, but this is the case for most panorama stitching solutions.
#CAPTURE ONE TETHERING MANUAL#
It will compensate for different exposures (so long as they’re not too different) and so there’s no need to shoot everything manual ona tripod (but doing this will make your life easier and give you better results).
#CAPTURE ONE TETHERING SOFTWARE#
Much like Lightroom, the software can handle hand held panoramas, and you don’t really need to do anything special to shoot them, although it is reccomended to lock focus. It’s a feature that has been in Lightroom for quite some time, and because of this, there are certain expectations as to what this should be able to do.īased on my testing, Capture One’s panorama stitching does a good job most of the time, and works much like Lightroom’s with a few exceptions and one notable omission. The idea is that you take a number of photos that you have shot in a line to combine into a single panoramic image. The first of the two headline features is probably the one that I would use the most, and that is Panorama Stitching. You also get notifications for panorama stitching and HDR merging.
