Version v1.2 is available as a free update to everyone.

A new version of our color grades is live, and here’s exactly what changed.

Capture One .icc profiles now come in three intensities.

All .icc profiles are now available at 33%, 66%, and 100% strength. This gives you the same flexibility in Capture One that you’re used to having elsewhere — whether you want a subtle hint of the grade or the full look, it’s all there without any manual blending.

One known limitation in Capture One — and why it isn’t ours to fix.

While testing, we identified a constraint worth being transparent about. Capture One’s .icc profile engine does not process adjustments in pure white values above 250 RGB. In plain terms, the very brightest highlights in an image may not respond to the grade the same way they would in other software. This is a Capture One platform limitation, not something in our profiles, and not something we are able to work around from our end. We want you to know about it so it doesn’t come as a surprise.

All LUTs have been updated to 65-point and 33-point grid sizes.

We’ve moved all of our LUTs from a 64-point to a 65-point grid, and from 32 to 33. This isn’t a dramatic jump in size — the reason is more precise than that. An odd-numbered grid has a true center point, which means the middle of the tonal range is represented by an actual data point rather than being interpolated between two. It’s a subtle but cleaner way to build a LUT, and it’s the standard our grades are now built to.

Lumix Lab compatibility is restored.

Our earlier 32-point grid LUT — the one intended for use with Lumix Lab — had quietly stopped working. After investigating, we found the fix: Lumix Lab requires a 33-point grid, not 32. It’s a small difference in number but a breaking one in practice. That’s now corrected, and Lumix Lab users should find everything working as expected again.

We also published a full product manual.

This has been a long time coming. Every format we offer — .cube, .xmp, and .icc — now has complete, step-by-step installation instructions in a single document. It covers everything from loading LUTs in Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve, to installing profiles in Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw, to the full Capture One setup including the macOS ColorSync verification step that catches a lot of people out. If you’ve ever had a moment of uncertainty about where a file goes or why something isn’t showing up, the manual is the place to start. You’ll find it in your account alongside the updated files.

As always, the updated files are available for free in your existing account. If you run into anything, let us know.
