Phase One has also improved Capture One’s on-screen proofing with the ability to simulate the final size, resolution, color, compression artifacts and sharpening of images in the viewing panel.

Then, you can choose to sharpen the image globally or in part using a new Halo Suppression slider and blending algorithm. First, there’s a new lens tool option that corrects lost sharpness caused by diffraction. Images can now be sharpened over three stages. You’ll find a new default workspace that offers image examples to help you get a jumpstart on your work. The software gets a speed boost during browsing, zooming and panning with OpenCL hardware acceleration enabled by default.
