Capture One Adds Native Hasselblad RAW Support After Years of Requests
Capture One has finally added native support for Hasselblad's .3FR RAW files, a long-requested feature. Initially limited to Hasselblad's 100-megapixel medium-format cameras (X2D II 100C, X2D 100C, CFV 100C), the integration includes dedicated color profiles for each camera and lens profiles for all XCD lenses, ensuring optical corrections. The partnership marks a shift from the historical rivalry between Phase One (Capture One's former owner) and Hasselblad. Capture One has operated independently since 2020, and CEO Rafael Orta emphasized a collaborative effort with Hasselblad to deliver professional-grade processing. Hasselblad confirmed that its own software, Phocus, will continue to be developed alongside this new support. The move responds to persistent user feedback and aligns both companies' focus on professional photography workflows.
