Capture One 16.3 - New Features, AI Masking, Eye Focus, Etc.

[@EdHelwig]

Still not enough to make me move from my perpetual license to lease for life. Still bitter from the C1 annual upgrade to be met by the license change in January. You still do an excellent job explaining the features in your videos.

[@brownbear100]

I upgraded every 2 years before. This new feature speeds up edits incredibly. I crunched the numbers and decided to subscribe. I only got 40% off the first year, but even so, if I subscribe for five years to take advantage of the rollout of AI tools, and then take the free license my loyalty "points" will have earned me, then take a break for three years the total cost works out at less than upgrading every two years. And cheaper than Lightroom. Maybe I'll take that license earlier and save more. Still no need to lease for life with capture one even if you subscribe now. Sad but true that prices go up. When Adobe went with the subscription model for biennial upgraders that was a stealth price hike of 300%. Capture One's was nowhere near as bad. And Adobe just increased prices too, with certain AI tools accessible only through tokens - you get free ones but after that you pay. Adobe is literally using its users as beta testers for tools as a service.

[@paulmaher1705]

I'd been debating switching from Lightroom for some time. The drag of having to learn new software was the main turn off but your videos have made things much easier 👍

[@Akagami753]

Please please please, can you make another video on X-s20. You love fuji cameras and been six months you've completely forgotten about that camera. Your reviews the most unbiased and true and they feel very familiar to me.

[@yiyufeng2742]

Thanks for the video and the discount for purchasing Capture One, I am a new XT5 owner and is considering buying Capture One for post processing, this video just coming in at the right time ;)

[@jonesmatthewlee]

I was hesitant to upgrade my perpetual license during this sale, but your video is exactly what I needed to convince me to buy. Always a reliable source. Thank you Chris! I'm excited to try the AI Mask. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@hakanaldrin]

Great run through of the new functionalities and great time to get CO! Tried to download the Beyond Film pack but get a message that the code is invalid?

[@Sticks55]

PALBF23 coupon invalid?

[@readrepairs]

Thanks for communicating in such a straightforward way. Good work

[@Indiewalker80]

You can also press option button on Mac to toggle between AI mask plus and minus.

[@angelitoreyes1138]

COde is not working. It says Coupon invalid. I am from the Philippines.

[@raymondchen6906]

The film style promo code doesn't appear to work anymore. Or does it only apply if you're also purchasing the perpetual license?

[@ozwrangler.c]

Great video 😃 I'm thinking of buying Capture One after seeing this. You're a great teacher: Hope Capture One sponsor more of your videos .. people are WAY more likely to buy if shown how it works, not an anonymous tutorial

[@ivanrivera57]

Great Video!! Thank you for the walkthrough of the new features!

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Thanks. I just bought C1 and shoot Fuji. Before I watched this video, I kept trying the re-tethering feature. It didn't work. Now I know why.

[@djsgrant]

So, I have just bought a Fujifilm X-T 30ii as my first mirrorless. I am a couple of years off retirement and this is going to be a hobby. I have no experience in Lightroom or Capture One. My question is, if you were back at the start of your photography journey with no previous knowledge, which software would you choose? Specifically for Fujifilm cameras.

[@FlorianCortese]

thank you Chris for this video explaining the new features in C1's latest update and the savings!!!!

[@christopherbgriffith]

Thanks Chris, I just happened to be planning to upgrade today so I was able to get the style pack in addition thanks to you! Cheers and happy thanksgiving!

[@manojkoll]

@pal2tech, wonder if you have a view on comparison between On1 and Capture One. Also is there any more discounts running. I usually buy perpetual license and $299 is unaffordable to me

[@madsbaisgaard7350]

Doesn't seem like the code for the filmpack works in EU, or at least not in Denmark

[@mauser79791979]

Same here (Sweden) Try this one instead ELIBF23. Worked like a charm

[@simonburger]

not working here either in canada

[@AlexanderTeodorovich]

I'm using Capture One. Thank you for telling us about the new features.

[@fen3184]

I'd been putting off renewing my perpetual licence despite some interesting features cropping up during the past months, but this, the sale, and the code, tipped the balance... I guess that's me for another long while ;) Thank you, btw.

[@almostgreen9498]

Do you know if one can make a shortcut for snap to eye? Great video 😊

[@Breathh]

Hi Chris, nice video as usual. I just wanted to point out that you can use the rethetering feature with fuji as well. All you have to do is to select the option in CO settings and set the fuji camera as thethered USB fixed (or something like that). Once done, you can unplug the camera, shoot, and once it is plugged in back, CO will download all the pics and apply the settings. Tested this morning with my xh2s and was working fine. Cheers!

[@MrPixelgrower]

Howdy Chris. Good to see you back! Loved this video, as I played with Capture One a month ago. Still thinking about making the jump from Adobe...

[@JackieDElia]

Awesome video, Chris. I’m loving Capture One.

[@reecefuller89]

I want to get the Perpetual license but your code doesn't work and it would be nice to have.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Hi Chris, thanks for sharing.

[@LelleKidd]

I made the mistake of buying a perpetual license of Capture One 23 (16.2) a week before 16.3 was released. According to C1's support, I was eligible for an update to 16.3, but they didn't keep that promise. Therefore I have to buy the program again, or take a subscription. A yearly Lightroom/Photoshop subscription costs €100 less than Capture One. I'm just waiting for Lightroom to catch up with ai masking and layers.

[@rachelrausch-johnson738]

woo hoo! thanks Chris!

[@user-vbull]

What’s your favourite computer setup for CaptueOne?

[@_artofstyle]

Hey Pal, your code doesn't work !

[@TheCMuro]

I tried the code as well. It said the coupon is invalid.

[@_artofstyle]

@@TheCMuro same...

Excellent information as usual, thank you!

[@philipreilly8737]

The coupon for the style pack comes back 'invalid' for me.

[@DavidGCroft]

Great stuff, really clear, thank you.

[@Shutterlab-Creative]

9PM Pacific Standard time here, and sadly the code isn't working for me. Still, this is a very good explanation of benefits. I think I'll upgrade for the AI masking. Thanks for your video.

[@mikehammer5380]

@pal2tech given Capture Ones recent policy change… do you still recommend c1 under the new pricing model? What reasons do I have to switch to it vs dark table considering the new pricing? I was going through the transition to c1 Fuji express and on the second day got the notice that it was being canceled in 2024. I’d love for you to cover this policy change in a short video or text post.

[@HawaiWillSink]

Got the 30 day trial a week ago and not very convinced yet....the auto adjust feature completely ruins 50% of the pics. Is Lightroom better or worse?

[@videobyredjade]

Thank you

[@BrendanEvan]

That’s pretty awesome, wow

[@BrownieX001]

Do you have a guide on export settings for Fujifilm cameras? My pictures look good when I am editing in Capture One but once I export them, some of them come out grainy.

[@wk278]

Do you know if these features will be available for the iPad version?

[@coeurdejames]

Thank you as always for the informative videos on these CO updates! And I'm definitely snatching that Beyond Film pack! Yay! 🩵

[@merlinbernese]

Hi I would like asking if there Is a way for import a big file ( panorama ) that PS forced me to save as PSb "BUT" capture one does not recognise for importing so could you help me ?

[@timnightingale4325]

Really helpful, thanks.

[@michalsiegel6717]

Any ideas where did the C1 for Fuji go? The button for plans didn't work recent days and now it's completely gone. I really wanted to get the C1 for Fuji during this sale but it simply disappeared.

[@corpusfusion1574]

I have x-t3 and the movie mode is grayed out and so are many many selection settings are grayed out. and currently its in slow mode on video. I am unable to switch to normal mode for video cause about 85% of my camera is grayed out? can you help? you should do a video just on settings that are grayed out and how to unlock them. There isn't any KZbin videos on grayed out settings.

[@heikelvin2872]

May I ask is this version Express Fujifilm?or a universal version? Because I have purchased the universal version of 23pro, but the latest version is only 16.2.6.7 There is no prompt to update to 16.3 in C1 website I saw my ac it say Max eligible version: 16.2 Is it because I installed a different version?

[@sambonilla416]

What’s your laptop configuration. Ram,processor…etc? I’m looking for a budget video/picture editing laptop

[@R8135003]

bye bye Lightroom. A big jump for some.

[@Wurzil78]

great video. I haven't upgraded my perpetual licence in a few years too. these new features look worthy for an upgrade. However your promo code doesn't work any more. It's still the 27th :(

[@naveenvinayapuri5180]

Hi, Thanks for the excellent video. The coupon code is not working anymore. It showed coupon is invalid when I tried today.

[@rosacarravilla6208]

Gracias por el vídeo, me podría decir si hay versión en tablet Android? Gracias

[@afromalone]

Does anyone know if C1 has been optimised to take advantage of Apple's new processors?

[@avgawesome]

The coupon code is not working anymore.

[@Cenit_Pro]

Same to me

[@el0blaino]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@richyw959]

More capture one vids please, you make it so easy to understand.

[@brownbear100]

Even though I already upgraded last week with the 40% deal, your code still worked to get the film pack as a standalone purchase, cheers! Love the new AI masking. Trees against sky still catch it out, but hopefully in future updates it will get updates. Since AI spot removal has already been implemented, surely it can't be too long before AI noise reduction us rolled out too.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Miss your videos. Hope everything is ok (I don’t need a video, just know you’re OK!)

[@Dmitriy.0]

AI masking in 16.3 is a huge upgrade. The only thing that's missing from C1 is Adobe's equivalent of content-aware fill.

[@NawaSena_]

agree

[@NawaSena_]

we need 1 more mahor update for content aware fill

[@tughumurru344]

😭😭finally..
