I was a photoshop/lightroom guy for many years..when i made the switch from Canon to Sony i downloaded the express version and that began my love for this program...yes it has a learning curve however i now spend alot less time jumping between programs to get the results i want. Plus they contantly do informative webinars on there site when they add new features and walk you through the editing process. I must say that when they added layers and now luminosity adjustments i never turned back...really guys give it a shot its the most professional software i have ever used.
Thank you very much for this tutorial video. I just got an X-T2 and heard a lot of people suggesting to use Capture One. At first the interface was very confusing, now after watching your video it feels very interesting and simple. Thanks again, it was very articulate.
I used to hate Capture One in the past because how complicated it is, but then ever since I started shooting in the studio with the tethered setup, Capture One became my favorite. Although I don’t like its spotting tool very much, I’d rather shoot, edit and export from Capture 1 then doing the critical editing in Photoshop.
Yes, I do, I really like the color correction tool in C1 cause it comes in color wheel form rather than hue bars in Adobe apps. In Photoshop I mostly use it for spotting and layer mask.
One really handy feature of Output is that you can create your own process recipes, as well as outputing the same photograph(s) to multiple sizes and places which one click. For example, I've got one created that is sized for Instagram and outputs to a Google Drive folder. I can send a photo there at the same time I'm sending a print version for a client, as well as web version for my website. Spend 5 minutes setting custom process recipes up once, and then you;ll save a lot of time whenever you output.
This is an excellent video. I learned more in 13 minutes than in a couple of hours trudging through trying to figure Capture One out on my own. Never having used either, I tried Capture One because of the free 30 day trial. I don't know anything about Lightroom and I may not ever find out at this rate. Not sure if the learning curve is easier with Lightroom but your tutorial is making me lean towards Capture One.
Thanks for the video Ted! Capture One is a phenomenal raw converter. I love that my Phase One digital back from the mid 2000’s is still supported by the latest Capture One software and the latest version is still FREE for any Phase One back owners. Quality and Integrity.
So pleased you did this Ted. Yesterday I bought Capture Pro 11 and am a little confused to say the least. Love your channel. I always eagerly look forward to your valuable insights. Have no idea where you get the energy to fit in all that you do - rock on!
Hey Chuck, Art or Ricko, whatever your name is, thank you for being here ! You made me a happy man !! Your video's are of such top notch quality that I am wondering whether your memorized a scripted story line or if the whole thing pops spontaneously out of your mouth. Kidding aside..... thanks man, I have yet to hear or see something that comes even close as to this good.!!
Thanks for this Ted! I just bit the bullet and got Capture One. I did wonder if all the hype was justified, but the difference it's made with my Fuji RAW files is truly staggering!
Fantastic. I'm working on transitioning from Lightroom to Capture 1. I've grown tired of Adobe's constant updates with totally unnecessary changes! Great introductory video!!
I know this is old but feel still relevant. I have used capture one for about 8 years now. There are still things LR can do the COP can't such as HDR and Pano stitching so you need LR for those functions or any other 3rd party application. I never keep JPGs on my system or in files as I feel if I need a JPG I just export one. But part of my work flow is to save the TIFF files in my output folder so if a i need an image it is there. Like Lightroom if you then select go edit in Photoshop from the main browser then save it in Photoshop, it places the saved file in with the RAW images. You then have to transfer that file to your output folder very painful. So I set up a export recipe that saves the TIFF in the output folder and opens Photoshop automatically, then when finished in Photoshop its saved in the output folder. As long as your recipe is ticked its as simple as pressing CTRL-D all done in one action. Hope this makes sense lol.
One thing you hadn't mentioned that I thought was brilliant is version/pricing. If you don't need the full CaptureOne experience, but need the basic Lightroom styled tools, you can get a slightly slimmer version of the software (that has everything you showed) that is specific to your camera for ~1/10 the price. I got the Sony version that does all this and more, but it's specific to Sony cameras. I thought that was an awesome way of helping people out.
Cole Runnels I don’t think that’s an advantage. Over the years I’ve used many different cameras and a cool thing to do is to open old raw files with new versions of raw converters as the get better an you may in fact be surprised how your raw files from 10yrs agora look now.
If someone is just starting out in photography with a Sony cam, it's fantastic. Free version of Capture One for Sony shooters? Who does that??? Upgrade to the Sony Pro version for $79? Yeah, cool.
Yeah, that "advantage" ONLY exists for Sony users, Canon / Nikon / Fuji / Pentax shooters don't get that perk, and unfortunately while we're on the topic, Phase One still has a vendetta against Pentax since they make a competing medium format camera, and AFAIK Fuji's medium format digital camera is still an unknown; hopefully Phase One decides to play nice with all other medium format cameras in the long run... Many Many full-frame shooting pros / hobbyists are switching to Sony, though, so that particular caveat is becoming moot for all of them lol...
Many thanks for the introduction! The first questions which came up: 1. Can you easily move content of the session folders to a catalog? 2. Can you search for keywords across all sessions? 3. Is Capture One also available for Android? 4. What are the features one could need in Lightroom and can't find it in Capture One? 5. What are the features to assign keywords to the pictures? In LR you can add keywords that already include detailed keywords. 6. Do you know if there are any plans to integrate the great Map function into Capture One? Looking forward to see more about Capture One. Great channel. Love to watch it. Kind regards from Bavaria, Germany!
I'm moving away from Lightroom because I don't like the idea of monthly subscription and am now looking for alternatives. Capture One looks like a pretty good option. From what I've heard it is one of the best RAW processor for Fujifilm RAW. Thanks for the quick tutorial!
C1 is an en vogue topic. Most things that I hear about what people like & dont is more a reflection of their individual decisions on how to use it. In LR, you can simply export folders from the one large catalogs into smaller catalogs per project. This serves as a great “to do” list when you’re actually completing work for a client. For things you want to always have access to, there are collections. That’s the same functionality you described in C1.
As a Digital Tech working on set daily in the fashion and commercial photography world- it baffles me that something we’ve considered “industry standard” (Capture One) for years, has taken so long to filter down to the wider population / hobbyists.
Id be really interested in a tutorial/workflow comparison between Capture One and Lightroom with the x-trans RAF files from the Fuji. I love Lightroom but I really don't like adding process steps to get my x-trans files to look "right"
Great video. I wanted to give Capture One a try (as a Fuji shooter) but wasn't sure I'd enjoy jumping into a different workflow, you really put it down there and made it look pretty simple, thanks!
Hi, I’m very new to Capture One so have potentially a steep learning curve ahead of me. Thanks for sharing your quick tutorial, very helpful. What I would like to see you do, maybe you have already, is something on batch processing.
I bought capture one yesterday because of the cyber Monday deal. I am still on lightroom 6 and never wanted to go to the subscription model. I am looking forward to playing around with it
I have been playing with Capture One the last few days. It does take a little getting used to but it seems to do a little better job and I think their masking tools are better than Lightroom. I just have the trial but I think I am going to buy it.
Hey Ted! Love the channel. The Capture One video was excellent. It's the first explanation of sessions that intruky understood! I've had C1 but have like you said been intimidated to use it - think I'll start this weekend and start downloading my pics to it to manage the library and my workflow. Thanks!
Just started using capture one and I love it! The only thing still holding me in Lightroom is using all of my former presets. I know capture one has their "styles", but there is limited options and they're expensive.
Capture one will be looking more attractive with Adobe testing the new pricing for the photography plan. Definitely going to be trying capture one and will be switching if I like it. Best part for me is it's a one off payment.
So you’re last video made me test the theory of how capture one handles raw better (or in a different way) than adobe raw. My findings are I love capture ones raw interpretation? And after downloading the trial I also find its way more intuitive than Lightroom and I’m hooked. Thank you for explaining the sessions, that’s how I’ve been working and I like it so far. You’re videos are great! Thumbs up!
Super helpful....THANK YOU! I had just downloaded the trial and couldn't do ANYTHING, was about to uninstall. I am a LR user. Your tutorial was very helpful and I saved my first edited photograph from an A7RIII using C1..which looked horrible as to skin tones originally, NOW great thx to your help.
Thank you for this, I'm just starting on C1, gone through a few of their videos, but was still not real clear on sessions, appreciate your clearing it up and its usefulness.
Excellent, excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much. I like all of your videos and have learned so much from them. You're a very talented teacher! Because you have made these videos, I had the confidence to download the trial version of Capter One (20) and give it a try. I will probably end up buying the full version, too.
I’ve tried C1 in the past and really liked it initially, but got frustrated with the learning curve and went back to LR. I’ll have to give it another go! Would love some info on transitioning/moving existing LR catalog to C1.
I assume you can set it up with a film strip along the bottom ? .... Also, when you have finished with a tool or function, is there a "done or finish button" ? Not all programmes seem to have this.
i'm definitly taking a look at capture one as i just got a fuji xt3 and the interface seems really well done ! Just a note on the lightroom catalogue thing ... i usualy create a new catalogue in the folder of the picture i want to edit, so pretty much works like a session ... i have the lightroom catalogue in the same folder with the pictures in it and that makes it easy to transfert as well so not really much difference there ...
Greatv C1 opener. I'm just switching over (Fuji shooter) and was feeling a little flummoxed until now. Looking forward to more. Awesome content, as ever.
Hi, I've watched a few of your videos on Capture One. Can you do things like adding text to images in Capture One and what about basic graphics with transparent areas. If not can you suggest software to do that with, which isn't an Adobe product. I'd like to be able to add those things for an idea I have.
I've always used Lightroom using an external drive to hold my all my catalogues/images. I'm brand new to Capture One and I would like to use an external drive for this as well. Any tutorials available on how to set this up? Thanks in advance.
Like your videos, can you do one to show how you import Raw images from SD cards toFolders on an external SSD drive. Question if I may, when you import a Raw file into your catalogue does it use the full size of the Raw on your hard drive, I ask because I only have a small hard drive on my Macbookpro and I really need more storage space.
A nice feature in LR that I love is key wording and searching for images based on that. Can that be done in Capture 1? If so I would love to see a video on that.
Thanks Ted. I don't like Adobe's new pay per month scheme. I also hear that it struggles with big files. I just downloaded this to play with it, and I like it so far.
If you've ever tried CO and given up it is worth having another go and trying to stick with it. The workflow once you get used to it is FAR better than LR and the colours it produces are also alot better. It is certainly a switch in thinking if you come from LR but Lightroom was also very different from anything else when it came out. If you've worked with Aperture in the past, you'll find CO pretty comfortable. I borked at paying the money at first but I got so tired of LR's issues that I made the switch. CO is by no means perfect but it's the best we have at this point.
It's like the Canon / Nikon folks who hold a Nikon / Canon camera for 5 minutes and then say they can't figure it out. Of course you can't figure it out, you only held it for 5 minutes! Just because the initial experience is confusing or unfamiliar, doesn't mean it couldn't be actually superior to what you're currently using. I've always made it a point to spend hours / days getting to know an unfamiliar tool before passing judgment, and it has definitely been worth it. I'm able to know with 100% certainty that the choices I've made are still the best choices for what I currently do, and no truly superior alternative exists. It's a fantastic feeling, as opposed to the naive "this is all I've ever known, and it seems to work for me..."
Absolutely - although CO don't do a very good job helping themselves marketing-wise but I have seen a big change with that over the past 12 months so maybe they are finally seeing an opening with everyone getting sick of Lightroom's quirks. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener but in this case, it is, and there's no way I am ever going back to Lightroom.
Great introductory video Ted! Wish something like this had been available when I started out with Capture One. This software paired up with Affinity Photo is just unbeatable in my opinion!
C1 is amazing and i have lot of hopes for its future. Especially the fact that you can customize all the toolbars or even open up a tool twice. The auto tools are very impressive as well. The color isolation tools are top notch. Does need luminance masks. You can synchronize settings from 1 tool between images with one click. But after doing a few sessions i realize that basics need to be adressed. Just import 500 raw images and start cropping and rotating. The performance of rotating images for example is pretty bad. Just crop 50 images and your hands and brain will hurt. So lots of great things and stuff to fix. But has the potential to make LR users switch
Great video. I'd love to see more regarding your editing workflows. I'm a recent Nikon defector and have move to Fuji. I quickly found out that LR does not play nicely with the wonderful colors coming out of my XT3 and after trialing C1 I'm really impressed. A lot to learn but love the versatility. Thanks for the great video.
Iv'e been doing my research and i will defenintly be getting Capture 1. I shoot Sony so I know there are a few perks for Sony users... And the business model of Adobe just doesnt sit well with me. Going to be using this with Affinity pro.
What about radial filters? I mean you can use a big brush, but hard to replicate an eliptic form etc? I find them quite useful in Lightroom, they save so much time of manual brushing around.
I've been hoping you'd cover Capture One! I bought the Sony version and I'm loving it. The one feature that I have yet to figure out is the spot removal tool. I can't seem to get Capture one to work well for this or healing and cloning. If you could include a couple of seconds to this in a video you're making it would be great!
Hello Ted! I`ve been using Capture One Pro for almost 6 months now and I am really enjoying it! It`s WAY easier to work in the studio than Lightroom, but I still don't know how to calibrate the ICC with the colours from my color checker (x-rite passport). Using color checker with Lightroom is very easy, but I don't see any option to use it with Capture One and since I shoot a lot of fashion, I really need some accurate colours. If possible, could you make a tutorial about that? Thanks man! Love your channel!
Capture One looks interesting. My main concern is that they offer a subscription service along with the standalone purchase. Am I going to pay $300 for the standalone version and in a year find out they're going subscription only? Seems risky.
I migrated from Lightroom to Caprure One for several other reasons. Cost, i.e. the dreaded subscription model. I like having the software on my machine and Adobe had stopped updating the desktop versions of my tools, LR, PS, Id. Lightroom was slowing down on importing files, and on outputting files because the database was getting large, 11,000+ images.
In as much as I like Capture 1, I'm still confused with the basic organization of Library/Catalog/Collections etc. How can one (e.g.) redo naming a 'catalog collection', how can one cut an paste 'user collection' etc, for Capture One doesn't follow the folder structure where I have usually stored my pics. The reading files, editing pictures is really wonderful, though.
Thanks for this - really helpful, fast way of getting to grips with COP. What I'd really like to understand more is exactly what these tools are doing in the image - for example, clarity works with midtone contrast, right? Thanks.
Ted, I am having difficulty grasping the crop function of Capture one. Can you do a video on basics like cropping. It isn't like lightroom and I just don't get it.
Great quick start! I wish C1 had a "quick edit" solution, maybe I am missing it. I want to simply snag an image on my desktop then re-output it to the desktop...nothing more. Having to mess with Sessions is a nuisance. Pshop does this easily. Did I miss the solution to this?
I'm new to photography. Shooting with a Fujifilm XT2. Thanks for helping me get started with Capture One. This is the best quick tutorial I've seen.
Just started with Capture One for Fujifilm and love the rendering of my images, much better than LR or On1. For Fuji this is the way to go!
Hey Carter, could you tell me how you got the camera icon near your name? I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it.
I was a photoshop/lightroom guy for many years..when i made the switch from Canon to Sony i downloaded the express version and that began my love for this program...yes it has a learning curve however i now spend alot less time jumping between programs to get the results i want. Plus they contantly do informative webinars on there site when they add new features and walk you through the editing process.

Hao - do you do color correction in C1 then the tools and layers stuff in Photoshop.
Yes, I do, I really like the color correction tool in C1 cause it comes in color wheel form rather than hue bars in Adobe apps. In Photoshop I mostly use it for spotting and layer mask.
Interesting
One really handy feature of Output is that you can create your own process recipes, as well as outputing the same photograph(s) to multiple sizes and places which one click.

I saw hundred 'capture-one-pro get started' video's but this, its definitly the best.
Thank you.
Very helpful. I’m a Lightroom user, but I definitely will like to give Capture ONE a try!!! 😃
You're not alone! I'm going to be doing a video soon on comparing them head to head.

Kidding aside..... thanks man, I have yet to hear or see something that comes even close as to this good.!!
Just downloaded Capture One 20 for Fujifilm. Found your video a really useful basic intro. Going to have to search out your other ones now. Thanks.
You are an amazing teacher, just starting with Capture One !!!!
Thanks for this Ted! I just bit the bullet and got Capture One. I did wonder if all the hype was justified, but the difference it's made with my Fuji RAW files is truly staggering!

I just love Capture One Pro. I learned it before Lightroom. Still so much to learn but the company has tons of tutorials.
Great video, really clear and helpful and just the right pace for me, thanks!

This video makes me wish my Lr/Ps CC acct. didn't just renew for the year. Clearly it's time to check out more of Capture One.
Great video. I wanted to give Capture One a try (as a Fuji shooter) but wasn't sure I'd enjoy jumping into a different workflow, you really put it down there and made it look pretty simple, thanks!
You teach beautifully...👌 just started using capture one this week.... Really loving the sessions feature 👍👍👍
Hi, I’m very new to Capture One so have potentially a steep learning curve ahead of me. Thanks for sharing your quick tutorial, very helpful. What I would like to see you do, maybe you have already, is something on batch processing.
Great explanation and mini walkthru. Capture One should hire you.
Simply the best and easiest tutorial for beginners
I bought capture one yesterday because of the cyber Monday deal. I am still on lightroom 6 and never wanted to go to the subscription model. I am looking forward to playing around with it
Greetings from east of the Trinity. I just installed Capture One and this was a nice starting point in learning to use it.
Great video. Got capture one but a bit lost. So very helpful
I have been playing with Capture One the last few days. It does take a little getting used to but it seems to do a little better job and I think their masking tools are better than Lightroom. I just have the trial but I think I am going to buy it.

You’re videos are great! Thumbs up!
Gradient Mask is hidden by default. You can choose it from the drop-down if you click and hold on Draw Mask icon in the top middle toolbar.
Hi,
Are you kidding? You forgot to mention the best C1's feature! It's the selection tool by color.
Terrific video - clear, informative & absolutely superb production!
Thanks you, easy to understand.i was looking for someone who would show the basics.. you talk very fast but I can always rewind😊
Super helpful....THANK YOU! I had just downloaded the trial and couldn't do ANYTHING, was about to uninstall. I am a LR user. Your tutorial was very helpful and I saved my first edited photograph from an A7RIII using C1..which looked horrible as to skin tones originally, NOW great thx to your help.
Spot removal video would be great!
Capture One ist eine echte Alternative zu Adobe, vor allem für Sony Nutzer
Thank you for this, I'm just starting on C1, gone through a few of their videos, but was still not real clear on sessions, appreciate your clearing it up and its usefulness.
Excellent, excellent tutorial!! Thank you so much. I like all of your videos and have learned so much from them. You're a very talented teacher! Because you have made these videos, I had the confidence to download the trial version of Capter One (20) and give it a try. I will probably end up buying the full version, too.

spot on this video!
I assume you can set it up with a film strip along the bottom ? .... Also, when you have finished
with a tool or function, is there a "done or finish button" ? Not all programmes seem to have this.

Just a note on the lightroom catalogue thing ... i usualy create a new catalogue in the folder of the picture i want to edit, so pretty much works like a session ... i have the lightroom catalogue in the same folder with the pictures in it and that makes it easy to transfert as well so not really much difference there ...
Greatv C1 opener. I'm just switching over (Fuji shooter) and was feeling a little flummoxed until now. Looking forward to more. Awesome content, as ever.
Have 2 >s. One; Are you forced to use the cloud? Two; can one do Focus stacking?
Hi, I've watched a few of your videos on Capture One. Can you do things like adding text to images in Capture One and what about basic graphics with transparent areas. If not can you suggest software to do that with, which isn't an Adobe product. I'd like to be able to add those things for an idea I have.

It is a great introduction. I previously owned Canon DSLR. Can I edit RAW image from Canon in Capture one ?
can you pls do a video on printing images? for eg. enlarging to a poster size etc?
Nice tutorial and easy to follow I am new to Capture One and am impressed! Can you maybe touch on syncing photos, batch processing and tethering?
A nice feature in LR that I love is key wording and searching for images based on that. Can that be done in Capture 1? If so I would love to see a video on that.
Thanks Ted. I don't like Adobe's new pay per month scheme. I also hear that it struggles with big files. I just downloaded this to play with it, and I like it so far.
I would love to see some portrait retouching tutorial on capture one. Thank you.
If you've ever tried CO and given up it is worth having another go and trying to stick with it. The workflow once you get used to it is FAR better than LR and the colours it produces are also alot better. It is certainly a switch in thinking if you come from LR but Lightroom was also very different from anything else when it came out. If you've worked with Aperture in the past, you'll find CO pretty comfortable. I borked at paying the money at first but I got so tired of LR's issues that I made the switch. CO is by no means perfect but it's the best we have at this point.
It's like the Canon / Nikon folks who hold a Nikon / Canon camera for 5 minutes and then say they can't figure it out. Of course you can't figure it out, you only held it for 5 minutes! Just because the initial experience is confusing or unfamiliar, doesn't mean it couldn't be actually superior to what you're currently using.
I've always made it a point to spend hours / days getting to know an unfamiliar tool before passing judgment, and it has definitely been worth it. I'm able to know with 100% certainty that the choices I've made are still the best choices for what I currently do, and no truly superior alternative exists. It's a fantastic feeling, as opposed to the naive "this is all I've ever known, and it seems to work for me..."
Absolutely - although CO don't do a very good job helping themselves marketing-wise but I have seen a big change with that over the past 12 months so maybe they are finally seeing an opening with everyone getting sick of Lightroom's quirks. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener but in this case, it is, and there's no way I am ever going back to Lightroom.
Maybe a video on moving pics from lightroom to cap one?
Great introductory video Ted! Wish something like this had been available when I started out with Capture One. This software paired up with Affinity Photo is just unbeatable in my opinion!
C1 is amazing and i have lot of hopes for its future. Especially the fact that you can customize all the toolbars or even open up a tool twice. The auto tools are very impressive as well. The color isolation tools are top notch. Does need luminance masks. You can synchronize settings from 1 tool between images with one click. But after doing a few sessions i realize that basics need to be adressed. Just import 500 raw images and start cropping and rotating. The performance of rotating images for example is pretty bad. Just crop 50 images and your hands and brain will hurt. So lots of great things and stuff to fix. But has the potential to make LR users switch
amazing teacher, just starting with Capture One !!
Great video. I'd love to see more regarding your editing workflows. I'm a recent Nikon defector and have move to Fuji. I quickly found out that LR does not play nicely with the wonderful colors coming out of my XT3 and after trialing C1 I'm really impressed. A lot to learn but love the versatility. Thanks for the great video.
How would you recommend migrating a photo library/catalog from Lightroom to Capture 1?
There is an import tool in Capture One that will do it for you.
Awesome info and clarity. I'm making the move to Capture One and you have made it just that much easier.
Great video. Trialing Capture One for my new Sony A7iii and this helped a lot. Trying to get off the Adobe train.
Iv'e been doing my research and i will defenintly be getting Capture 1. I shoot Sony so I know there are a few perks for Sony users... And the business model of Adobe just doesnt sit well with me. Going to be using this with Affinity pro.
What about radial filters? I mean you can use a big brush, but hard to replicate an eliptic form etc? I find them quite useful in Lightroom, they save so much time of manual brushing around.
Can you do a video on editing the Milky Way in Capture One?
great vid. Very efficient use of time. and tones of good info!
Fantastic video. Thank you for the informative tips and tricks.
I've been hoping you'd cover Capture One! I bought the Sony version and I'm loving it. The one feature that I have yet to figure out is the spot removal tool. I can't seem to get Capture one to work well for this or healing and cloning. If you could include a couple of seconds to this in a video you're making it would be great!
Sure!
It's the best RAW processor out there. Will be really perfect if it actually had a history function like in Lightroom and support from VSCO...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hello Ted!
I`ve been using Capture One Pro for almost 6 months now and I am really enjoying it! It`s WAY easier to work in the studio than Lightroom, but I still don't know how to calibrate the ICC with the colours from my color checker (x-rite passport). Using color checker with Lightroom is very easy, but I don't see any option to use it with Capture One and since I shoot a lot of fashion, I really need some accurate colours. If possible, could you make a tutorial about that? Thanks man! Love your channel!
Capture One looks interesting. My main concern is that they offer a subscription service along with the standalone purchase. Am I going to pay $300 for the standalone version and in a year find out they're going subscription only? Seems risky.
I migrated from Lightroom to Caprure One for several other reasons. Cost, i.e. the dreaded subscription model. I like having the software on my machine and Adobe had stopped updating the desktop versions of my tools, LR, PS, Id. Lightroom was slowing down on importing files, and on outputting files because the database was getting large, 11,000+ images.
In as much as I like Capture 1, I'm still confused with the basic organization of Library/Catalog/Collections etc. How can one (e.g.) redo naming a 'catalog collection', how can one cut an paste 'user collection' etc, for Capture One doesn't follow the folder structure where I have usually stored my pics. The reading files, editing pictures is really wonderful, though.
Great video! Please do more in-depth ones about Capture one :). You can do a photo from start o finish
Thanks great video
Thank you soooo much for this,i was pulling my hair out my bald head,hahah,you are da man
Great video man! You just gave me some confidence to fire up capture one and mess around with it more.
Thanks for this - really helpful, fast way of getting to grips with COP. What I'd really like to understand more is exactly what these tools are doing in the image - for example, clarity works with midtone contrast, right? Thanks.
Awesome intro. Caught my interest. I am sick of the Adobe subscription model, and I think I will switch to Capture One.
Ted, I am having difficulty grasping the crop function of Capture one. Can you do a video on basics like cropping. It isn't like lightroom and I just don't get it.
Nice video, I wish if you have time to take a look on luminar too and tell us what do you think about it
Great quick start! I wish C1 had a "quick edit" solution, maybe I am missing it. I want to simply snag an image on my desktop then re-output it to the desktop...nothing more. Having to mess with Sessions is a nuisance. Pshop does this easily. Did I miss the solution to this?
Great summary !!! Thanks
