Capture One gives you an amazing amount of control when converting your images to black and white. Rather than just de-saturating the image, Capture One gives you access to color sensitivity sliders which allows you to control the light and dark areas of the image by their original color regions. Capture One also gives you access to split toning. This allows you to apply tonal colors to both the highlights and shadows much like you have in analog printing processes.

As someone who has created Sepia prints from Black and White Film , thanks to you Ted. I loved the Artist Series and your videos on the issues that affect all of us in this wonderful craft of photography. Thanks again.
Very helpful! I’ve used C1 for a few years, but this clarifies the power of monochrome manipulation. Thanks for this!!
P20 pro user here who loves starting with a dedicated B&W lens. You start seeing objects differently than with a colour lens. Great ideas, thanks!
Thanks Ted, I'm really glad that you are covering C1. Thanks for doing what you do.
Dear Ted - Fantastic video like always. Watching you since the very first days. Both our hair turned into gray without any filters. Stay curious, loving it.
Ted, thanks for another CaptureOne tutorial. This one is right down my alley. I only see muted colors, so my workflow includes converting the raw image to black and white. But so far I’ve only used the saturation slider in the exposure tab. I’m going to give a go at working with the bw palette in the color tab. Keep up the good work!
Ted, thank you very much for using several different photo editing applications. As my interest in photography has grown I've used Photoshop, Lightroom, Luminar and now Capture one. I appreciate your learning all of them and providing instructional videos of them that helped me in my growth / transition.
You r timing is practically perfect... I’ve been playing with these sliders lately.. fun! Thanks.
Thanks Ted! I have been relying WAY too much on the Acros film simulation (fantastic, btw) because I didn't feel comfortable learning the complexities of editing B&W with purpose. This definitely makes it easier to understand how to use the color mix sliders.
I really dig that "Spilt Tones" section. It opens up whole new possibilities.
Just moved across to capture one. This series is super useful for me. Thank you.
Brilliant video! Thank you.
As one who was very much into lith-printing, but no longer have access to a darkroom, this was a godsend! Now I might be able to replicate those coarse black shadows and those delicate peach and golden highlights.
In addition to what he says here, you can also use the saturation slider and white balance . All the color editing tools still work. I do a lot of black and white images, much of it with skin tones. The red slider is great for minimizing blemishes. The yellow slider can be used to add depth to the skin. A common setting that I use is 35 for both red and yellow , and it gives me a nice glowing skin. By increasing the saturation of the image you get better color separation and therefore better control over the different individual colors. Also, I would advise not moving a slider all the way to the left or right, strange things can start to happen at edges when the sliders get too far away from zero
Great video Ted, beautifully explained.
You're right about the power of photographing in color first. I have full control over the image!
You can use red, yellow, and blue filters on the lens with black & white film. That kinda sorta does the same thing. Also, I'm a huge fan of Capture One. * Like you, my early film work was about 90% B/W.
Very instructive, thanks. I like to see monochrome in my live view before taking the picture.
This makes a good argument for shooting monochrome in JPG + RAW!
That was a very effective tutorial. Love it
Thank you for this. So good
🤔 makes sense to use colors to change effects in the capture. When I use my yellow filter with black and white film it enhances skin tones and red my red filter deepens tones like the sky, etc. Great video!
I love black and white. Your example of changing the image with the sliders for each separate colour.
When I studied black and white with film years ago, we used colour filters on the end of the lens. Darken skies, use red or yellow. Same concept. Digital cameras do have the option of shooting in monochrome,so anyone doing this, have to remember to change the camera back to colour and remove filters in the lens. Or use the software
As you mentioned, different toners for the darkroom. It’s a craft. You can really create some amazing moods and dramatic images.
Love this video. You are always so informative
If you're shooting digital jpg, you can shoot in B&W mode in camera. If you're shooting RAW, what you see on the back of your camera is a JPG created by the camera to show you the grayscale version but the raw file will still be in colour.
That’s the best part about RAW over jpeg. Best of both
@@CanadianArchivist Absolutely! Jpgs have their place, but not for me. I can output them if I want them, but I'm not throwing away all of that data at time of capture.
I shoot raw and jpeg but only because if I’m out somewhere I can send the jpeg images to my phone to post on Instagram or Twitter. I can’t transfer raw to my phone.
Thanks Ted. I have very recently moved from Lightroom to Capture One because CO processes the Fuji RAW images like Fuji processes its JPEGS in-camera by default. They can of course be edited further in CO.
Some interesting ideas here especially re the split toning thanks again.
Amen to that! Moved to C1 when Corel's Aftershot didn't recognise the XH1 RAF files. Gave up on ASP after several attempts to get them to update fell on deaf ears. Loved the free FujiExpress version so much I finally subscribed. Now getting used to C1-20 but having crashes on my W10 OS. Hopefully C1 helpers can sort it out soon!
Absolutely brilliant presentation. Subscribed.
Great help, thank you!
Very nicely done. Thank you sir for an excellent tutorial
Ted, great video, I feel I have learnt something useful.
Great video Ted!
Hi there,
I have used the b&w setting from time to time, (used this process all the time in Camera Raw, when using Adobe) but generally in the Xpro2 I prefer to use the Fuji b&w presets as a basis. I can then work on dynamic range, dropping the highlights boosting the shadows, and adding some clarity...
I at time bring the brightness down and boost the shadows to get a really gritty b&w look reminiscent of say grade 4 paper..
For the most part Acros with a R filter gives a great starting point...
Nice! Thanks for those tips from a fellow Fuji shooter XT1, XH1. I still like the Silver EFex plugins from DxO though as I like the really black blacks not just dark grey.
thank you for sharing!
Amazing vidéo! thank you so much ! i love how you introduced b&w. I am considering switching from lightroom to capture one pro...:-)
Awesome vid. Thanks!
Man love your channel , i wish it had more artsy stuff about photographers and film related stuff, but i support your effort non the less, keep up the great job!
What u mean artsy stuff?
That was brilliant its helped me a lot thank you
Excellent video!!. Thanks a lot for the information. I had no idea I could do that with C1.
Fantastic video! Thank you! 👍
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
thanks for this really useful video !!
I also use Capture One, so thanks for info!
Super helpful man! Thank you. You brought clarity to a struggle. Love this tool but unless you use it on a regular basis you forget basics.
Thank you. Your tutorial helped me with color photos of nice, grey clouds. The color wasn't working, so I decided to try black and white (grey tones 😂). I like it. So, yes, thank you!
Ted look forward to seeing a Captureone video on Split toning B&W images 👍
Thanks for the informative video, also its nice that you don't have any music playing in the background which i personally find distracting when learning something new.
Hi Ted, If you were using a Leica monochromatic digital camera would you still be able to edit duo tone and make adjustments to black, white, clarity, and contrast? I’m thinking everything but the color sliders. Thanks for the video
Great video! Really appreciate your style of explanation. Any idea how the B&W button in C1 creates the B&W image? e.g., is it just desaturation, or a gradient map, or something else?
im a black and white shooter, i like removing colour for the same reason as Andreas Feininger - you cant have too much contrast for a particular colour in a colour image or it looks wrong. thanks for the video
Not all would look great in bw
Hi Ted. Great video as usual. Any suggestion on photo books you came across in 2019?
Looking forward to applying this in C1 as it would reduce my workflow from Fuji Raf > C1 Tiff > DxO SilverEfexPro > finished Tiff or Jpeg. Will be interesting to compare the results i.e. C1 v SIlverEFex?
I was trying to do the same with GIMP the other day but was unable to do it (filtration of B&W images).
Came back to watch this video again because I want to work on skin tone in black and white portraits. I only have the free version of Capture One and I shoot with an XT-3. When I shoot B & W I usually put the camera on Acros film simulation so I see black and white in the view finder/LCD. I had forgotten about those color controls for black and white. Not sure if the free version of C1 has the spilt tones for highlights and shadows though. Anyway, thanks for the help.
Nice tips, thank you.
What's your opinion of monochrome digital cameras?. I know they would force the user to go back to use old fashion color filters and make decisions before taking the picture, but some are pointing to the huge benefit in tonality. Any experience with monochrome cameras you could share??
A good interesting theme chemical free of uhmmm and long ehmmms. Even a moderate interesting theme is a joy to listen to with the rapid tempo but still keeping perfects diction. The cutting and animation is good to. Keep posting good content Ted
Black/white film can be edited in camera with red, blue, and green filters. And, I have a lot of b/w prints that are just that. The largest & most prestigious b/w show in my state disallows toning.
nice tuto. coming from silver efex pro, it is a pity there is no color filter (ie: orange for pop clouds and dark sky) first we can refine with these red, blue,... sliders (called film sensitivity in sep2).
a zone system would be nice to check we cover zones 1-9, face is in zone 6,...
👍ottimo video grazie
Very well done, Ted. Thanks for these! But wait, There's More!! Buy now and...
Okay, never mind. As Ted mentioned, your RAW file still contains colour information and you can use the sliders in the Black & White tab to adjust the 6 different colour channels. That's great, but what if you want More control? Go to the Colour Editor tab and under Basic you know have 8 channels and beyond that you have the Colour Picker tool. You can't see the colours, but the information is still there. You want the leaves in your background to be lighter or darker? Use the Colour Picker tool and click on the (gray tone) of the leaves and now start adjusting the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders. You're still only affecting the luminance of the gray tones, but you have more control. Not specific enough for you? Go to the Advanced Colour Editor and use the Colour Picker tool. Now you pick a sample point but you can further define the colour tone you want to change. And if you're not Exactly sure what tones you're working with, check the View Selected Colour Range box. The rest of the image remains grayscale, but the colour(s) you've selected now show up as colour... until you uncheck the box. This, in and of itself) isn't selective colour (where a black and white image has red roses, for example); this is just showing you want tones you're going to be adjusting. Use the Colour Picker and select a different gray area and get new colour tones to adjust.
Plus, rather than using the Split-Tone sliders, you can use the Colour Balance tool in the same way, except you have more control over the Hue, Saturation and Lightness of the shadow, midtone and highlight regions of your image. One thing C1 does VERY well is custom colour control, even when you can't see the colours.
Mike.
How about Monitor calibration... how does capture one respond to a monitor that's been calibrated by xrite some other system?
Hi Ted, is there a specific colour checker (like Datacolor Spyderx or Calibirite) that is recommended for Caprure One? Does it matter?
6:24 Am I the only one that sees them red?
Was thinking the same 😅
Diego González I saw red too
Photoshop says the RGB values are 230, 61, 74. So yes, they are "red".
They’re definitely red.
A slip of the tongue probably? It's obviously more red than orange.
Great work. Nice and easy. Subscribed. May I ask you one question here : If I edit DNG or Raw file with Silver Efex via Capture One, the final result (JPEG) I get back, it has a small file size only. Like in return the JPEG file size is just 370kb or so. The DNG raw is 40MB. If I edit the DNG in Capture One alone, the JPEG is 1.63MB.... Thanks in advance.
Try Color Balance instead of Split Tone to tone your b/w image. Its more sensitive and also has mid tones.
It's the same in Liminar4
how to export after finish editing?
By learning yourself ...why he gotta tell u everything ??? Not that to hard
What would happen if I'm using a DNG file(which is totally monochrome, no colors at all) via Leica M10 Monochrom?
Hi Ted - There is something about monochrome cameras that I was thinking of late and since you are in the topic of B/W conversion, I feel its an opportunity to ask.
Over a few years, there have been a couple of monochrome cameras and even some people got their's converted. Now with the coming of M10 monochrome, a lot of us are stoked again (forgetting about the purchasing power for a while).. However -
While I understand there are some great advantages of the missing RGB filter array viz.
- 1 stop additional light to the sensor,
- no sharpness loss from RGB layer, and
- no computation needed by image processor to extrapolate the missing color info.
But I see this disadvantage too - As you explained the use of sliders in capture one to manipulate the luminosity of each color to get the intended look, I have been using lightroom for the same. I cannot think of B/W conversion in any other way. Unfortunately, this feature goes missing in a true monochrome image as the image program doesn't have the colors to work on.
I understand we can use certain color filters (red/yellow etc.) like old film days, but still, I am not sure how much it helps for all the colors as we do in the post now. Also, there will be a loss of some light in using a filter anyway.
You see I am not very experienced in analog, so, in your personal experience do you thing this disadvantage outweighs the advantages listed? I would like to hear your thoughts on how you feel about this and if any workaround is available.
The earlier maestros have some beautiful BW works, but I am not quite sure how to achieve that in modern monochrome cameras.
Regards
I've shot a lot with the PhaseOne Achromatic which is monochrome as well as full spectrum. I'm sure the M10 is fabulous, but not in my budget. I think for monochrome digital, converting an older camera and going full spectrum will give you a lot to experiment with. I prefer color conversions as I'm showing here, but there's some cool stuff you get with full spectrum monochrome. I was getting up to 12,800 with no noise at all - Phase is also a medium format sensor… I enjoy using filters to control the IR spectrum more than I do sensitivity. Not sure I'm answering your question, but unless you really love the Monochrome M10, its way outside most budgets.
@@theartofphotography Thanks for the response Ted. I was not specifically taking about the M10 as the price is beyond reach for me as well..but monochrome cameras in general.
Some people have converted their existing cameras by removing the RGB filter, fuji xpros, sony a7 series etc.
I was looking for an insight on a the B/W output from a true monochrome camera/with the RGB filter removed + (say) a red filter vs an equivalent camera with color output + converted in post as you explained.
Do you thing the output from a color camera converted in post to B/W can outweigh the advantages (as I mentioned in the first comment) of an equivalent monochrome camera with color filters? Hope I am making sense to you.. trying but not sure :)
On another note, if and when I get back to the US I will try the phase one achromatic once for sure. Right now I don't have the funds and availability
@@theartofphotography Pls ignore the last comment sir. Just re-read and realized that you already answered that. Thank you
Great video.... Colourblind people see colour though, they just experience them differently.
The sad thing is that the newer the sensor, the harder it is to get a natural "non-digital" -looking black and white image from a raw file.. For me this has led to just accepting that color is the way to go forward.. Makes me angry and sad, but I´ll guess one of these days I will just have to go back to Tri-X and the analog darkroom.
Very good video, but the first image for me is never a candidate for black and white: the red is so dominant, plays the role both of the main motif and a "dramatic empty space". And it is successfully balancing the woman!
Good video Ted, but you didn't really give any reasons why Capture One was better than Lightroom.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍👍
🤠
Can't you do all of this in Lightroom too?
Yes.
Three horizontal lines = hamburger menu
So this means I don't have to blow through 10-15 grand buying the Leica Monochrom and achieve the same results using my current Lumix cameras.... cool.
Meh ... not the same results as a dedicated monochrome camera. But, does it matter? Plus, you don’t have to deal with the filters while shooting.
@@Jonny51982 Got to this out. Built monochrome in the canon , and the setting on capture one
