Capture One editing software

Capture One is a professional-grade photo editing and asset management software developed by Capture One A/S. Originally created by the Danish camera manufacturer Phase One as a dedicated raw conversion tool for their high-end medium format cameras, it has since evolved into a standalone software ecosystem used by professional photographers and digital techs worldwide. The software is known for its superior color rendering, tethered shooting capabilities, and precision editing tools.

While the brand was born out of the technical requirements of Phase One's hardware, it now operates as an independent company. It is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the majority of its development takes place. The company is currently owned by Axcel, a Nordic private equity firm that specializes in mid-market investments in the Nordic region, ensuring its continued growth and independence in the creative software market.
