Sorry I missed the Live version. Honored to have “Honored” for my aircraft photo. Congrats to Ian for his own take on Aviation!

CO ist to EXPENSIVE!!!

Thanks for that.

Good video. I been using this tool yesterday. But what I find hard work is that I need to change the brush size, keep right clicking all the time is slow going! Is there A short cut like in photoshop using the [ ] to make big or smaller keys to do it at all, please?

Thanks

Price is always changing for a perpetual license because of currency fluctuations unless your paying in US dollars. Quite frankly this is irritating as we are not dealing with a US company here. The world should not be revolving around the US. Today in Canada it's $450cdn but last month it was $425cdn. Enjoyed the content as usual.

In my humble opinion, Paul picked the best one to win. Thanks for the mention.😊

Didn't get or didn't see a notice for today. I'll be here next week!

What an excellent tutorial!

I think I'm guilty of going nuclear.

Thank you for again a very instructive video.

Hi there, I would like to know if They can fix that issue with AI masking on people (not people masking) 29:27 . If the AI mask doesn't catch something at first, what is ok. I want on my next click on that place that the AI mask didn't see to have my wanted mask. I am frustrated because I have to click 4,5 times in the same place where the AI mask highlights the area that I want. But still not masking. I work a lot with people in sports and that takes too much time on multiple photos with multiple people that should be edited fast. Thnx.

I agree sometimes things are white or black.

Thank you for all your video walk-troughs. You do an EXCELLENT job. Question: Is there a way to have Capture One NOT automatically open the last used catalog when it launches (other than having to hold the option key down.)?

Excellent demonstration on how to identify and correct colour casts. The tree shot at the end would look dynamite in fog to declutter the background!

Great Video Paul, thanks!

Excellent vid - many thanks!

Another great session, always learn something

Great session

Thanks but what about the noise ???? Please

Thanks

Thank you Paul, as ever, very helpful.

Hi Paul and everyone who is readinding my comment ! Thank you first Paul for this so brilliant edit and the so nice photos too ! i just have a small question : I have the impression in the last times, and in your last edit sessions , you intentionally show us that using the ai masks has some limits: maks too quickly done , and sometives even those masks are great , they can't ( not yet) do everything.!! So you show us, with the good " old school", with hand drawing, and so on( with the older tools, magic brush, lumarange masks) that we can still do a lot of things without the AI. i would thank you to remember us , and by the way , whats happening here is a bit, a symbol of the whole humanity : not to give up everything in one clik for the AI. I have the impression (and i include me in this), that if we don't be careful ( like you use to often say🤗,) we are getting more and more lazy , putting the destiny of our lifes in the hands of AI , but fortunately some persons are here, to avoid that like Paul Reiffer 🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍( much more than an editing artist !!)

Paul…you’re the man! Each edit is a MasterClass for me. Thanks so much for doing these for us!

internal guidelines work but the built-in horizon level on the Nikon Z9 is perfect, at least on my Z9....

Great video Paul thank you, I learned so much from that! Thanks for all your hard work across this year and looking forward to next!

Hello Paul, thank you very much for all the videos you have made about CP1. You have shared a lot of knowledge about the use of CP1 and photography in general, which has helped me a lot. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a good start into the New Year. Uli

To add to my remarks regarding sending in monochrome files: I’ve been shooting Leica M Monochrom camera’s for little more than three years now, and never had a file that I thought was of any interest as an example for a live session. Not to needlessly downplay my photography, but with Monochrom files life just becomes less complicated. You can forget about all color related tools, no white balance, no saturation sliders to worry about, linear response as default, etc. So basic workflow is pretty straightforward and most decisions I make about edits are more artistically related than technical. So, when it comes to sending in a file it won’t be a matter of technical problems I ran into but more of matter of: what would you make of this, artistically speaking? I just upgraded to the M11 Monochrom so maybe I will be sending in one of those 60+ Megapixel files to play with. Now find one that would make a good candidate… Thanks again Paul Paula Dieterman

Thanx

As always, this was a great session with a lot of great insights shared into how to get the most out of the software, and out of your images!

Dear Paul, Unfortunately, with the new day and time, it is no longer possible for me to attend the sessions in person. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the great work you have done this year in showing us how to properly use all the many features of CaptureOne! If I could ask for one thing for Christmas, it would be a video on the best order in which to use all the different tools in an image editing session. I don't know if this would be appropriate for a live editing session or a master class. Either way, I would definitely be willing to pay for it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I'm already looking forward to the new input in 2025!

Great stuff!

Hello, very interesting possibilities that are shown here. How do you switch to the grayscale mask so quickly? Otherwise, I learned a lot. 👍👍

I upgraded my camera from an A7r2 to a7R5 and lightroom classic desktop 2021 would not support its new raw files. So, I switched to Capture One because it has always kept up with Sony's new RAW files. I think I've been using Lr for about 10 years. Now I have some serious learning curve and why I have enjoyed watching your tutorials and sessions. They've been very helpful in getting up to speed-- thanks! In Lr my import settings intentionally flatten the image like those S-log videos. I then adjust contrast as needed, sometimes using Zero Contrast to find the center of the histogram. In C1 the Linear Response option in Base Characteristics is my preference. In a lot of your editing sessions, you "resort" to Linear Response for the diametric reasons of both taming high dynamic range AND soft, misty low DR. It's almost for anytime you're alone or with someone. ;) Some of your editing sessions urge adjusting the base image settings so they are prepared for Style application. Another one said to save basics until the end. Which workflow is the best practice?

the steam colour in the reflection shouldn't be different from the steam. the blue steam looks unnatural because of the different colours in the reflection. the original looks way better. for me, it hardly needs any retouching.

As a very long time Adobe addict, I have been thoroughly enjoying using Capture One. If fact, I was on the fence about really trying Capture One, but these "live editing streams" by Paul was THE reason I switched. I have not completely divorced myself from Adobe since Capture One hasn't improved some of the basic editing features like noise reduction. However, other 3rd party products can fill in to "finish" a photo so I can live with some of Capture One's deficiencies. I will say from trying many other RAW editors, Capture One's initial processing renders colors better, at least for my Nikon RAW files. Anywho, cheers for Paul in conducting these sessions! And yea, thanks for mentioning the streaming software; I'll pass on it!

Hi Paul: Thank you so much for walking me through the issues that I have caused during my editing process. I am relatively new to C1 coming over from Lr & PS. Within PS, I used Zone Masks extensively I think that is why I have been over-using the Luma Range tool when refining my masks. I will certainly be working on re-editing my image based on your feedback and my improved level of understanding. Keep well . . . Keith

I really enjoy these sessions and appreciate you continuing to do them but still nothing new for the hobbyist, amateur, landscape and nature photographer in Capture One. Amateur Photographer had an interesting article on Adobe's "Skip the Photo Shoot" advertising where they (Adobe) are pushing the fact that AI will be doing that part for you. In their mind professional photographers will, in the future, just "assemble" AI generated subjects in Photoshop to form a photograph. For amateur and hobbyist photographers the shoot, then coming back and developing their vision with the help of AI is part of the experience and why they are out there in the first place. If, indeed, the professional is to be relegated to an AI assembler then Capture One's dismissal of the amateur and hobbyist photographer is all the more baffling.

Hi, i bought 16.5.1 2 weeks ago... and i got the update now. Thanks to C1!

Indeed, great inputs, as always. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your experience

I was constantly asking for native .afphoto file format support from 2016 to 2022 and was each year many times (asking for it each minor and major upgrade) fobbed off by “We will forward it to the developers.”, nothing ever happened. The plan was to ditch my Adobe subscription, using the paid version of C1 as DAM and raw developer together with Affinity Photo as editing tool. Serif itself unfortunately doesn’t have a DAM nor a proper raw developer. Because I had to stick with the Adobe subscription anyway because C1 never supported .afphoto files natively, I ditched C1 instead of Adobe. And no-no-no, .TIFF is by far no replacement of .afphoto. Using .tiff with Affinity Photo, you lose all advantages coming with .afphoto. Such as saving changes on compressed 10 GB files takes only seconds or 18 Petabyte max. file size. Using .psb the same thing takes 10 minutes or so, even on a fast M3 Mac using Apple’s fast internal SSDs. Compressed .tiff takes also an eternity to save and is limited to 4 GB max file size. For obvious reasons, I can’t use C1 for my Hasselblad .3fr files.

Always useful to stay level headed.

Hello Paul, Is there a way to export folders with photos into a catalog, with the folder structure included in the new catalog? If I export parts of the catalog, it creates new folders with numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc. That's not really useful if you want to import this catalog into a main catalog. THANKS!

Really useful session on the keystone tool and another powerful reminder of accurate masking.

Thanks so much! I recently (today!) canceled my Adobe subscription and purchased Capture One. I have seen other videos but this is the first that explained opacity and flow in a clear way.

Paul is talking Nothing is happening with the image.

I seem to have had my signals crossed. I thought you had changed the day to last Thursday, same time. Then moved it from Thursday to the following Tuesday (today). Missed the earlier time slot. Thank you for the cognition test, it may be time for me to start doing Sudoku. ;) Seriously though, the organization session would be very welcome! I can always improve in this area, and I'm not certain I recall all of the features involved.

Not sure if anyone called this out during the live stream, but the screen sharing stops around 21:46 - 32:06 and none of Paul’s adjustments were captured. The cursor is frozen on the bridge.

As usual, very informative!

Hello Paul and everyone who reads my comment ! Thanks Paul for that great session like every other session from you🤗👍 This time i appreciated a lot the first photo ( i think it was one from the BMW House in München) i have at home, almost the same one. It was absolutely interesting to see the different ways to bring back the blue colour between the two parts of the BMW tower ! but i confess that the blue colour didn't really disturb me , because it-s a bit like that in the reallity! . But the demonstration with the luma curve and the rest was highly interesting. The picture with the mask on the top of the mountains was interesting too, because i had allreay this problem with refining mask ! good ,to say that sometimes old fashioned work with the mask painted with the hand is keeping his utility 👍👍👍.
