Capture One Features
Built specifically
for Capture One.
The Capture One plugin uses the same MetaMagic AI engine, but exposes only the tools that make sense in Capture One. No Lightroom Collections, no copied UI — just metadata and workflow controls Capture One can use.
Core generation
AI metadata
where you edit.
Titles & Descriptions
Generate concise titles and factual descriptions with configurable language and output length.
Up to 50 AI Keywords
Create searchable keywords and choose whether MetaMagic keeps or replaces existing keywords.
GPS → IPTC Location
Reverse-geocode embedded coordinates into Location, City, State/Province, Country and ISO Country Code.
Capture One workflow
Color Tags, Rating
and automatic reload.
Color Tag
Apply a configured Capture One Color Tag after successful metadata generation. Success, failure and safety attention colors are independently configurable.
Optional Rating
Use a fixed rating after successful generation as a deterministic workflow marker. MetaMagic does not ask AI to judge artistic quality by default.
Automatic Metadata Reload
After XMP/IPTC is written, the Windows integration reloads metadata so the updated fields appear in Capture One without a manual reload step.
Diagnostic Logging
Enable detailed logs when testing or troubleshooting Capture One integration behavior.
Professional IPTC
Contact, status
and editorial metadata.
IPTC Contact
Creator, Job Title, address, city, state/province, postal code, country, phone, email and website.
IPTC Status
Provider/Credit, Source, Copyright Notice, Rights Usage Terms, Job Identifier and Instructions policy.
Editorial Caption Mode
Use factual date/location context for editorial-style descriptions when configured.
Keyword Structure
Use flat keywords or group AI-generated keywords under a parent keyword for a more structured Capture One library.
MetaMagic AI classification
Structured visual analysis
beyond normal IPTC.
The same image analysis can return labels, landmarks, locations, logos, faces/general expressions, OCR text, safety information and dominant colors. MetaMagic stores the structured result and can expose a readable summary in IPTC Instructions.
Why no AI Collections in Capture One? Capture One has Albums and Smart Albums, but the plugin SDK used by MetaMagic does not expose the same catalog collection-management APIs available in Lightroom. MetaMagic therefore writes reliable Keywords, Location, Color Tag and Rating values that can be used with Capture One Filters and Smart Albums.
