Introducing Capture One Negative Film Conversion
The film scanning landscape is constantly changing and evolving. The film scanning hardware is just one aspect of this. The other part is film conversion software. Today, the film conversion game gets a new player.
Negative Supply is honored to partner with Capture One on the launch of their all-new Negative Film Conversion feature. We were invited to Copenhagen this winter to Capture One HQ to test this new feature. We are incredibly honored to be their preferred film scanning hardware partner.
For years, film photographers have relied on plug-ins, standalone apps, or legacy lab software to convert negatives into finished images. While those tools work, they often require exporting, round-tripping, or breaking up your workflow.
Capture One is changing that.
With its new integrated film negative conversion tools, photographers can now scan, convert, and edit film entirely within the Capture One ecosystem with no additional software required.
A Fully integrated workflow
Instead of sending files out to third-party tools, Capture One brings negative conversion directly into the RAW editing environment.
That means you can:
Capture or import your negative scans via tethering
Convert them directly inside Capture One
Apply adjustments across entire rolls
Refine color using advanced grading tools
Stay in a single, continuous, non-destructive workflow
No exports.
No plug-ins.
No extra steps.
Camera-scanned negatives can now be converted directly within Capture One. Set your base conversion once and apply it consistently across multiple frames.
The result is a streamlined workflow that allows you to move quickly without sacrificing control.
For photographers scanning regularly this eliminates friction at one of the most time-consuming points in the process.
Consistent, Film-Faithful Color
Film has character. Preserving that character while maintaining consistency across frames is one of the biggest challenges in negative conversion.
Capture One’s approach allows users to establish a consistent baseline look and apply it across a batch, maintaining natural, film-faithful color while still offering the flexibility of advanced color tools when fine-tuning is needed.
Consistency from frame to frame becomes significantly easier, particularly when working with an entire roll from the same stock.
Fast Batch Processing
For high-volume workflows, speed matters.
Capture One supports batch processing, allowing photographers to:
Apply conversion settings across full rolls
Automatically carry adjustments from frame to frame
Process large sets of scans efficiently
When paired with tethered capture, photographers can scan, view, and apply settings in real time, dramatically reducing turnaround time.
All in One Place
Film photographers no longer need to stitch together multiple tools to complete the digitization process.
Capture One now offers a unified solution:
Scan.
Convert.
Edit.
Deliver.
All inside one professional editing environment.
