If you're a serious Capture One Pro user, the folks at Phase One have a real treat in store for you. It's called the Capture One Pro keyboard: a customized color-coded keyboard that brings 107 useful shortcuts to the surface and helps you turn your workflow up to 11.
Phase One today launched Capture One Pro 10, the latest version of the company's powerful raw conversion and photo editing software. It features interface improvements, behind-the-scenes tuning, and some new features.
If you're going to photograph the Porche 918 Spider—a 1 million dollar hybrid named one of Top Gear's "greatest hypercars in the world" in 2015—you'd better bring an equally impressive image sensor. That's why automotive photographer Alex Bernstein came prepared with a PhaseOne IQ3 100MP medium format monster.
Phase One just released their XF Feature Update #3, and it's definitely a firmware update worth paying attention to. Not only did they add a fully electronic shutter to the IQ3 digital back—a world's first for medium format photography—there are a slew of other updates for the XF system as well.
When you're talking about 100MP medium format digital backs, 'affordable' is a very relative term. That said, the new IQ1 100MP digital back Phase One just announced is definitely affordable... relatively speaking. For the first time, you can get a 100MP sensor for just $33,000.
Phase One made a splash back some months back when it unveiled its 100-megapixel medium format camera system. To show the power of a 100MP medium format sensor, retoucher Pratik Naik has published a series of 100% crops from a recent shoot with the camera.
Phase One took the lid off of a first for the company earlier today. In partnership with Schneider Kreuznach, they've released the very first 'Blue Ring' zoom lenses: a 40-80mm LS f/4.0-5.6 and 75-150mm LS f/4.0-5.6 that promise prime lens quality.

Phase One has announced the latest version of its Capture One Pro imaging software. Version 9.2 brings new features that are designed to help improve a professional photographer's editing workflow.
Despite rumors that Sony might release "the first mirrorless medium format camera," there is actually a medium format mirrorless camera already in existence. But you may not want to pick up the 100MP Phase One ALPA; it turns out it's a royal pain to actually... you know... use.
Before I became a fashion photographer I worked as a retoucher and digital tech for other photographers. Full frame was still in its first or second generation, and from what I saw all the best fashion and advertising photographers were shooting digital medium format.
Phase One released Capture One Pro 9.1 today, and the latest version of the photo editing software brings a number of new features and performance upgrades.
My name is Brian Podnos, and my wife Donna and I run an architectural photography company called Donna Dotan Photography. We were recently commissioned to create a giant 60-foot photo of Citifield with New York City in the background at twilight. Here's a look at how we made the photo.

When Phase One announced its new XF camera system back in June, the goal was to unleash a new high-tech camera that can stay relevant long into the digital age. The company today announced the first firmware update that helps to fulfill that promise. It's a feature update that brings a number of exciting new features to the XF, including one called Seismographic Vibration Delay.
Phase One today unveiled its new XF Camera System, a major redesign of its digital imaging offerings. The system features "robust, aerial-grade mechanics, advanced electronics, a new autofocus platform, new modularity options, new software and customizable touch controls." Basically, Phase One wanted to craft a new system that can stay relevant long into the digital age.
In addition to its main photographer-oriented business, Phase One also develops camera gear under Phase One Industrial, a leading manufacturer of digital medium format cameras for aerial photography.
The latter brand has announced a new camera called the Phase One iXU 180: the world's smallest 80 megapixel medium format camera designed for drones.
Here's a behind-the-scenes video showing how photographer Jason Bell recently photographed actor Benedict Cumberbatch for a special issue of Vanity Fair.
After observing that "this British invasion of Hollywood has gotten so out of hand," Bell (who was born in London) came up with the idea of doing an all-British edition of Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood portfolio, which will arrive on March 2015. Cumberbatch is one of the stars featured in the series.
Want to see what a 10K time-lapse video looks like? Look no further than the video above. Titled "10328x7760: A 10K Timelapse Demo," it was created by Los Angeles-based photographer Joe Capra, a guy who specializes in ultra-high-definition time-lapse photography.
If you don't have a 10K display handy, don't worry: the video zooms in to show you the level of quality the video has.
Yesterday afternoon, the folks at Digital Transitions released a teaser for the Phase One A-Series, an (and we quote) "incredible new system using Phase One Digital Backs, Rodenstock optics, and ALPA bodies giving you the absolute best in Image Quality."
Phase One is making the most of Photokina by announcing a complete overhaul to its popular Capture One Pro software. Now on version 8.0, the updated program not only improves upon its former self, but also looks to squeeze in more of the market share by enticing ex-Aperture users who are looking for simple migration to a semi-familiar interface.
When it comes to medium format photography, prime lenses are the norm. The size, weight and quality of construction of lenses are all areas of constraint for medium format over DSLRs or mirrorless, and so zoom lenses are more of a rarity.
However, there are always impressive exceptions to the rule, which is exactly what Phase One has done with its second-ever zoom lens for the 645 digital medium format system.
Looking to take drone photography to new heights, Phase One has announced the iXU 150: a pint-sized CMOS medium format camera that has been designed with aerial photography in mind.
Well, that didn't last long. Only a few days after Hasselblad revealed the exciting news that a 50MP CMOS Medium Format camera was in the works, PhaseOne has made a very similar announcement. Like Hasselblad, PhaseOne is calling this one a "world's first," only this time the title is "world's first CMOS-based medium format digital camera back."
The idea that Canon would take the leap into medium format has been tossed around as both rumor and joke. Last August, we were told to expect a Canon Medium Format DSLR at Photokina -- obviously that rumor didn't pan out. Eight months later, photographer Krik Tuck made an April Fools announcement along the same lines.
It's unclear how serious the company itself is about the possibility, but we now have a fresh rumor that is yet again pointing towards the same outcome.
The announcement of the PhaseOne IQ2 series introduced a clear functionality based stratification of the IQ line up of digital backs. The PhaseOne IQ280 still reigns supreme providing the highest resolution single capture of the bunch. The bigger and more interesting changes however, are within the IQ260 “series” of backs. Now there are two different versions of a 60MP full-frame medium format digital sensor; both of these two versions offer their own vastly different “skill sets” for different types of photography.
In the beginning of last month, Nokia was caught faking sample photos and footage in a promo video for the camera on its new Lumia 920 phone. A couple of weeks later, bogus information about camera sensors was found on the official website for Hasselblad's new Lunar mirrorless camera. This week, we have a new episode of "camera marketing fail" for you, this time brought to you by Phase One.

This video offers a glimpse into how Schneider-Kreuznach LS lenses are manufactured for the Phase One 645DF camera body.
In this social media age, companies are constantly dreaming up all kinds of random ideas for demonstrating the benefits of their products, and hoping that the videos will go viral (an example would be this bulletproof glass CEO that literally stood behind his product).
