Capture One & Camera Profiles

Import Capture One adjustments

Right-click images (or Image ▸ Import Capture One Adjustments). The app reads Capture One's settings next to each RAW and translates white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, HDR, levels, curves, colour editor, grain, sharpening, rotation, crop and rating.

The two engines differ, so treat the result as a close starting point.

Camera profiles

Optional: Develop ▸ Camera Profile starts at None, the built-in rendering.

ColorChecker profile: open a shot of a ColorChecker Classic, align the chart in Analyze ▸ ColorChecker and choose Create Camera Profile. You get a measured matrix plus a hue / saturation correction.

Learn Capture One Look: select images you graded in Capture One and choose Learn Capture One Look… The app compares its renders with Capture One's previews and fits a tone curve and colour table; imports for that camera then use it.
