Phase One Media Pro (formerly Microsoft Expression Media and iView Media Pro) was a commercial digital asset management cataloging program for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X operating systems. It was the next version of iView MediaPro which Microsoft acquired in June 2006, and sold again in May 2010 to Phase One, which also makes the Capture One raw converter software.
Capture One (also known as Capture One Pro) is a photo editing software, developed by Phase One. In addition to image editing it performs image cataloguing, raw image file processing, and tethered photography.[1] Capture One works with raw files from many different digital cameras as well as TIFF, PSD and JPEG image files.As of summer 2020, capture one has become its own company free standing from Phase One.[2]

Each full-version release of Capture One software from Phase One offers at least one major new feature as well as a few minor ones, and Capture One 12 is no exception. Where version 11 added somewhat improved masking tools, version 12 takes a giant step forward by introducing straightforward luminosity masking along with a new radial gradient masking tool and an improved linear gradient masking tool.
Luminosity masks are simply masks that affect certain tonal values in an image. They are incredibly versatile, convenient, and offer a precise way to target tonal values in an image. They allow a new level of selecting, adjusting, and compositing images in Capture One.
Landscape photographers have struggled for years to create luminosity masks in Adobe Photoshop as a way to adjust the dynamic range of their captures and blend images together. Capture One 12 has simplified this process and extends it for use by portrait and wedding photographers. You can not only create luminosity masks of subjects but can also easily apply the masks to multiple captures.

HOW IT’S DONE
Luminosity masking is found in the Color, Exposure, and Details tool tabs. After creating a luminosity mask, you can use virtually all of the tools in the appropriate tool tab to adjust the masked area.
As with all the tools in Capture One, luminosity masking is a visual experience designed for photographers. After opening an image and navigating to the appropriate tool tab, you apply a new filled layer mask and select the Luma Range button above the layer. A new window appears with the Luma Range controls. By dragging the upper knobs, you control the range of tonal values for the mask. The mask overlay adjusts dynamically with the changes. The lower knobs control the feather of the mask. Fine-tune the mask with Radius and sensitivity sliders. Once you’ve masked the tonal values you want, click Apply and make whatever adjustments you had in mind.
Luminosity masks are on individual layers so they travel from tool tab to tool tab. Additional luminosity masks can be added, and existing ones are non-destructive so they can be readjusted at any time.

This is the stuff that landscape photographers live for, but the coolest ability of Capture One’s luminosity masking is designed for portraits, especially those made under controlled lighting. In Capture One 12, luminosity masks can be copied and pasted into other images to target the same tonal areas as the original. Effectively, this gives a different mask to adjust the same tonal range in other images, even if the composition is different.
For example, imagine you want to mask and adjust the skin tone in a series of portraits from a session. Create a luminosity mask and adjust one of the images using the Uniformity tools found in the Skin Tone tool of the Color Editor. Then select the other images, open the layers palette, and shift-click the double-headed arrow. The luminosity mask and skin tone adjustments are immediately applied to the rest of the images. Very slick.
MORE FEATURES
While luminosity masking is the most significant new feature in Capture One 12, others are noteworthy as well.
A new radial gradient masking tool and improved linear gradient masking tool are found with a click-hold of the Brush tool. Click and drag the radial gradient (formerly a brush function), and the ellipse forms from the center. Once the tool overlay is visible, dragging the handles adjusts the shape. Both tools have additional options for control by holding down shift + cmd/ctrl or ctrl/alt keys. The new radial gradient tool is ideal for creating fast, precise vignettes, among other uses.
The mask visibility is controlled by the M key, which brings up another feature that will appeal to keyboard shortcut users—a new keyboard shortcut manager under the Edit menu. There are more than 500 possibilities. Create a new set that copies all of the default shortcuts, then modify existing shortcuts or add new ones. A complete list of shortcuts is visible by clicking the Summarize tab.

As a longtime user of Capture One, I noticed that the interface looked a little different. Sure enough, the silver type on a deep black background is replaced by white type on a warm charcoal gray background. The icons are larger and a few are redesigned, the cursors are larger, as are the fonts and the thumbnails in the batch queue. These make the interface seem cleaner and more legible, particularly on large, high-pixel-count monitors.
Phase One Prototypes
The interface remains extremely customizable. You can drag tool palettes from their docked position anywhere on the monitor or onto another monitor or hide them until needed. The toolbar, other than the default toolset, is also customizable.
Users moving to Capture One from other applications have the benefit of a superb set of tutorials, available from the Help menu, to get started with the program. I encourage new and existing users to make use of the extensive video tutorials on the Phase One website to get up to speed on the program and the latest features in version 12.
The pricing of Capture One Pro 12 remains $299 for new users, which includes a perpetual license to all upgrades to this version. Upgrade pricing from previous versions has increased to $149. Capture One Pro subscribers can download the new version at no cost.
