After many years with Lightroom CS6 I'm now moving to Capture One Pro 2021 and after 2 weeks of getting lost and sweating it out in C1, this video, I find is superb and a great liberator for me. After viewing your video I feel like I am an old hand at C1... well not really, but thanks Todd. Well done , you are articulate and easily understood even if english is not my primary language.
Really liked the "here's the original shot and this is where we're going with it" opening to your tutorial. Great incentive to keep watching. Then followed up with great instruction. I'm an old film (1979-84ish) dinosaur just now getting back into photography. Just beginning to figure out digital. Thanks for presenting in a way an old man can grasp.
I'm new to Capture One and really love it. Your tutorial is clear and thorough, thank you. Also, kudos for *not* using background music, that I find distracting and annoying 🙂
Great ideas. But I just can't understand why everyone, and I mean everyone, compares their final image with the original raw file. Of course it will be vastly different. You should be comparing your final image with a jpeg right out of the camera. That will tell you if all of your editing effort and time was really worth it compared to what the camera was able to do with its jpeg settings. That comparison would be hugely more helpful to see.
Yea, I agree! Interesting perspective. I guess we would like to believe that we are able to take our edit to the “next level” instead of landing in something that the algorithms in the camera manage to do in a blink of an eye, right!
I think one benefit or reason for comparing the final image with the original raw is to 'reset' the mind and eyes while looking at the original to see if there's a creative spark to drive another change or desired effect. Sometimes I find I get so wrapped up in editing an image that stepping back is like looking an erased chalkboard. Just a thought.
@@dominey Description of truth, such as a redundancy, is not perspective. If someone adressess or brings up a truthful statement then we cannot describe it as perspective. Perspective is a viewpoint, viewpoints may consist of many opinions, but in the case of the comment, which is true, judgement is the correct word. So, he was an apt judge.
Excellent showcase of Capture One, The editing stuff is nothing that I haven't done before, but this step-by-step process introduced me to the Capture One interface. I have watched so many tutorials trying to get used to and accustomed to Capture One, and I just could get used to it and make the transition, but this video ease me into the interface, now am eager to try it.
Best workflow explanation of Capture One I've found. Better than their own videos! I've been trying to move away from lightroom due to the artifact problem with Fuji files. Now I've just upgraded my Mac and when I try to straighten a frame with the crop tool while using Big Sur, it completely freezes my Mac! A common problem I believe. Your explanation has given me a bit more confidence to move forward with Capture One. Thank you.
Thanks Todd. I've just started editing my photos. I use an X-T5 so Capture One seems like the way to go. You have clarified many thing for me and I thank you. I will continue to follow and have subscribed. You have an easy demeanor that is a pleasure to listen to.
This is so wonderful, I'm new to capture one and this has helped so much. It might not really be what you do but I can't express how grateful I'd be for a video like this but with an image with a human subject. (Ideally using mixed available and strobe lighting).
Thanks Todd for a great workflow demonstration. I’m a Capture One user myself and I can see that you’re enjoying some of its capabilities here too. I very much favor the gradual buildup that you’re demonstrating also. A little tip; I’m sure you know that instead of using the RGB tab in the Curve tool you can use the Luma tab in order to edit your contrasts without effecting the colours, right? I personally prefer to control the vibrancy and colour-shifts with targeted layers and the Advanced Colour tools in C1. The amazing thing with C1 and its layer capabilities is that we can use all its tools on layer after layer in subtle ways so that each part of the image gets its own very precise treatment, just as you demonstrated. I would advise anyone who wants to do colour-grading to do that on a separate layer in case you want to do some changes later or pull back on the opacity slider a bit. Flexibility and control is key here, I think. The sky is the limit (or up to the 16 layer cap, anyway)! Thanks again Todd for bringing out this type of material to the Capture One community!
Yeah, the Luma curve is so...weird! I've used it a few times, and whenever I do it just feels so alien to me compared to how curves normally function (by affecting saturation). I need to use it more. I could see it being especially helpful with shadows when you don't want to muddy them up with deeper color.
@@dominey you get the same effect ( more or less ) in Photoshop or Affinity Photo if you apply a curve adjustment (or any other contrast adjustment) to the image and put that adjustment in layer blend mode Luminosity instead of Normal. This method allows you to have a much better control over your colours. Since Capture One doesn’t have dedicated blendmodes the Luma tab is very helpful, I find. Is it possible to do something like that in Lightroom now days? This (hidden) colour-shift business is something to watch out for in many other applications as well; for instance when we apply adjustments through plugins of different kinds such unwanted side effects are quite prevalent too. Anyway, I think you did a great job with that bike image in the video. And you showed how such crucial editing is quite easily performed in Capture One, thanks to its layer-system.
I really love the way you execute and present your tutorials. It baffles me how many people don't show a before and after right at the beginning. I really appreciate how organized and concise you are as well. Looking forward to delving into more of your videos!
Praise!!!! I was so lost opening up lightroom, coming from Photoshop Premiere and After Effects- What a cool world and process developing is! Thank you for the information and inspiration!
I am new to CaptureOne and haven't used LR or PS in a few years. Your explanation as to how you would approach the adjustments was very understandable since my familiarity with the Adobe products lessens the learning curve.
What a fantastic video. Love your teaching style (as someone in their 21st year of teaching I like to think I recognize great work) and find the comment section filled with meaningful discussion. You have a new subscriber.
This is my first time to watch one of your videos. Todd. You did a brilliant job. Very nice presentation of the material. Interesting photo to edit. Excellent pacing. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Well done!
Great organization video, I'm a photography student at OCC ( Orange Coast College ) in Costa Mesa California and I finally started to understand the importance of knowing how to read the numeric and visual values on images and also to have the monitor calibrated to make sure the prints come out exactly as they are on the monitor. Btw I just changed the way my drop down list of tools were organized lol.
Thx Todd, Lots of great tips provided. I'd have started with cropping the window out and levelling the image. The angle of the pipe and floor bugged me throughout. I've saved the video to keep watching it and hopefully produce better looking images.
Been using Co Pro for long. Recently been looking for some framework as it felt just with you- random pulling on random slider. And then - your video. Just the really right one! Thank you!
Great video. One of my problems with other videos was not being able to see the tools being used and how they change the image and the histogram. Also you have a great voice which makes it quite pleasant to keep focused. Would love to see you do this process with a novice asking questions. For instance saturation eliminated light direction.
Too much contrast and saturation for me , but everyone has his own style. I loved how you used gradient tool for directing light, I'm gonna keep in mind this tip for my next editings. Thank you!
I like this video. Some people (myself included) would prefer to leave the details untouched (for instance, leaving that clump of debris on the floor) so it's an accurate representation of how it looked IRL, but if that's your preference, just don't do the cleanup step. This video gives you a good demonstration of all the common parts of raw development, but if you don't like any of them, just skip them.
Nicely done Todd. The organization of the editing work flow into steps is certainly a good approach. I assume that you are using ProPhoto or Adobe RGB. The use of the gradient tool to burn and dodge is clever. As your editing flow continued it became obvious that the absence of blend modes causes pronounced color saturation shifts. As noted previously by Tom, you might considering softening such shifts by using the Luma Curve in the curves adjustment. Moreover, I agree with Tom that the use of various color adjustments on layers can be very valuable. Although the end result in every image is the choice of the photographer I find the final result rather artificial and over edited with reference to contrast and color. You did not state if your eventual goal is to print this image or to share via the computer. If printing this image I suggest that further editing might be required. Allow me to add again that personal decisions govern the editing pathway and obviously your vision for this image is different than I would have considered. Please...not a criticism, but an observation. So, vive la difference and continued best of luck Todd.
Great video. It answered two questions for me. I always strived for photos that wouldn‘t have to be edited (except basic adjustments). I thought strong alterations were equal with faking photography. But I‘ beginning to realize that a raw image is not necessarily a true representation of a scene. Secondly, I like your structured editing approach. Thanks.
I lived and worked in Pitigliano in 2014. That part of Tuscany is amazing. Hope you had the chance to visit the Terme di Saturnia. Thanks for the tutorial. 🙏
Useful video. At Min 27 where you tackle the magenta hue in the bottom right of the picture I could not understand what you were doing. A clone layer? G
Hi, I'm hunting for a RAW editor to replace my current one that seems to have lost all support and development. This really helps me to decide, thanks.
A really efficient & to the point video; well done. Now my silly question - the Leica MP is a film camera; I had a two stroke M3 once upon a time. So, what was the exact Leica you used - digital & RAW or film scanned to TIFF, which doesn't work in C1?
This was a really well done. I provides a nice, methodical procedure. As an amateur who's not quite ready to buy the full version of C1, I'd love to see is a similar process video using the free version because some of these tools aren't included. How can you achieve similar results using the free version? Are there other tools you'd utilize to take the place of tools that don't exist in the free version?
Great Framwork video. If you were converting to Black and White, where in the framework process would you be doing that? Would you insert a step after correcting for color or after you are finished with the clean up and sharpening?
you are a master! I must say that i feel like i have been editing with a sledgehammer after watching this. Thanks for the great content, Where is Luna?
I love your presentations both technically and content wise. Your audio and visual setup in all your videos is stellar. The mic is really nice sounding but just a bit too expensive for me. By the way, can you please release episode 2 of why you like capture one. I checked out some of you links and they take me to a rather generic Amazon page where the product you feature is not even listed.
Great Vlog, Very much on point as always, I have been thinking about capture one as i am over the adobe help system, or no help system, it looks great thanks for the detailed and structured introduction
One reason might be that sharpening is a process related to the size and the later use if the image. You might choose a different degree for a large print. Also each size for monitor use requires different sharpening values. This is why I sharpen for each individual export.
Awesome tutorial, great features on Capture One. But I think you made rear of the bike and that steel crate door too dark, detail-less, there's not enough separation. Just my 2¢...
How the editing steps order impacts in the overall pixel based final result. In other words, is the editing software keeping track of what you do first and what you do next? For example, I m right now in the part of your video in where you are applying a vignette after the texture adjustment has been applied. Is this a clean vignette due to the fact that it was applied after the texture? What if you apply the vignette before and the texture later? Is the vignette affected? I hope anyone of you can follow my point. Thank you very much!
First test I always do with any software and/or cameras is to compare the treated RAW to the auto-created JPEG. On some cameras, disapointing. On others, showed exactly why RAW is preferable.
@@dominey Never saw that myself, but I only employ Nikons and sometimes play with Canons. I do have 1 student that still uses Fuji - going to have t borrow it. Take care - we are almost out of this crap and the closure of lockdowns here means I can re-activate the studio. Finally!
This video being three years old, this might not be the time and place to ask this. But while this is thoroughly comprehensive, all the while watching it I kept wondering why must or should all these edits be done at the raw level? I understand that there is a non-destructive element to it all in the raw editing stage. But with Affinity (which is what I primarily use these days) you can have non-destructive layers. So what is so "precious" (if that's the right word to use) at the raw level that it is better to do all these edits at that stage?
Great question! I’m not familiar with Affinity’s interface, but in general, the “preciousness” of RAW is that you can easily reset back to the original and restart. All edits are non destructive too, and you’re changing the DNA of the image in the binary RAW data, not pixels, which aren’t as malleable. You can also easily copy, paste and modify RAW edits across multiple images. I think it really comes down to what you’re most comfortable with and what works best. I have no doubt there are many people (film scanners creating TIFF images, for example) who only work with bitmaps and are perfectly happy. 😊
@@dominey Thanks for your reply. I think you point to what must be the origin of my discomfort with Raw. I started with Photoshop 2.0, must have been around 1995. RAW "snuck" up on me a good 15 years later, and I've been flirting with it, using and and not using it, without either conviction or a real understanding of what it is. I think I'm still not clear of the difference of "RAW data" and pixels. Maybe that's where I'm stuck. But yes, Affinity has edits as non-destructive layers that you can turn on and off and even delete at will. So once I started using it as of a year ago, it only added a question about the need for going through a whole RAW edit process, or not. Anyway, be happy to know that I've made a text file of your ten steps and am now using it as a guide whenever I do go through RAW. Very informative video and it helped to clarify a lot of questions I've had. Thank you.
Excellent demonstration of Capture One in practice. Thank you Todd.

One of the best raw editing workflows I’ve watched: you make every step clear. Along the way, you explained some more of how Capture One works.
The most charming and inspiring voice on UA-cam! Also thank you for the information about the raw processing
That was one beautifully executed edit. Enjoyable to watch and quite helpful especially because I’m still learning CaptureOne.
Glad it was helpful!

I understand that there is a non-destructive element to it all in the raw editing stage. But with Affinity (which is what I primarily use these days) you can have non-destructive layers.
So what is so "precious" (if that's the right word to use) at the raw level that it is better to do all these edits at that stage?
Great question! I’m not familiar with Affinity’s interface, but in general, the “preciousness” of RAW is that you can easily reset back to the original and restart. All edits are non destructive too, and you’re changing the DNA of the image in the binary RAW data, not pixels, which aren’t as malleable. You can also easily copy, paste and modify RAW edits across multiple images. I think it really comes down to what you’re most comfortable with and what works best. I have no doubt there are many people (film scanners creating TIFF images, for example) who only work with bitmaps and are perfectly happy. 😊
@@dominey Thanks for your reply. I think you point to what must be the origin of my discomfort with Raw. I started with Photoshop 2.0, must have been around 1995. RAW "snuck" up on me a good 15 years later, and I've been flirting with it, using and and not using it, without either conviction or a real understanding of what it is.
I think I'm still not clear of the difference of "RAW data" and pixels. Maybe that's where I'm stuck.
But yes, Affinity has edits as non-destructive layers that you can turn on and off and even delete at will. So once I started using it as of a year ago, it only added a question about the need for going through a whole RAW edit process, or not.
Anyway, be happy to know that I've made a text file of your ten steps and am now using it as a guide whenever I do go through RAW. Very informative video and it helped to clarify a lot of questions I've had. Thank you.
