C1 Export Utility is a lightweight macOS companion app designed to supercharge your Capture One Pro workflow by automating the image export process. Whether you're tethering in-studio or importing files in batches, this utility takes the manual labor out of exporting so you can stay focused on the creative work.

The app offers two core automation modes:

Auto Export on Import (Free Mode)

Automatically export every photo as soon as it’s imported or tethered into your current Capture One session. Ideal for high-volume workflows such as events, instant previews, or headshot stations where every image needs to be processed without delay.

  • Exports in real time, using your currently selected Capture One export recipe

  • Works seamlessly with tethered shooting or drag-and-drop imports

  • No need to manually trigger exports—images are processed instantly in the background

  • Great for kiosks, live review setups, or volume workflows

5-Star Export Mode (Pro Mode – Paid Feature)

Only export images that are marked as 5 stars, with the app automatically scan for new 5 star selects every 10 seconds. Perfect for workflows where only select images need to be delivered or sent for retouching.

  • Automatically exports only your best images—no sorting needed afterward

  • Helps separate selects from throwaways during fast-paced sessions

  • Images are exported as soon as they’re rated 5 stars

  • After export, the app can automatically change the color tag to green to avoid re-exporting

Who It’s For?

  • Commercial and volume photographers

  • Tethered studio shooters

  • Event and headshot booth operators

  • Anyone using Capture One who wants to simplify and speed up their export workflow

System Requirements

  • macOS 12.4 or later

  • Capture One Pro 22 or newer

  • Requires Capture One’s export recipe to be pre-configured in the app

  • Not compatible with Windows

“Jeff’s approach is very client centered, he was super personable and a great host.  He tailored the workshop to fit my needs as a photographer and was very flexible to let the workshop unfold without a set agenda.  I was able to get tons of hands-on time with the model and was able to come home with many tremendous images to add to my portfolio.”
