Exposure & Brightness with Capture One Pro

[@meyou58]

This tutorial will help tremendously in fixing some of my images I just wasn't quite pleased with. You explained everything perfectly! Great tip Scott... I look to you first for Capture One tutorials!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Glad to help. Thank you very much for leaving a comment.

[@thedimtenuk]

Thanks ! Finally understand! You have brightened my day!!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are welcome. Thanks for the comment.

That's a handy thing to know, thanks....On your last edit (in the garden), I think I would have added a touch of contrast or clarity. To my eyes it looked a bit washed out. Then again we all see things in a different way. Another reason why you shouldn't spend too long looking at a screen. It pays to walk away for a few minutes, then come back to it. I've had occasions where I've edited a whole load of photos in the evening, then looked again the next day, to find they are all over or under exposed.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are welcome. I agree, the scene needs further work to add contrast with the other tools. I do say that this is just a light and airy base.

[@PrasadPalaniyandi]

Bloody prefect and crystal clear explanation...

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

I try to explain things in a way that beginners will hopefully understand.

Good thing I researched about exposure & brightness in capture one. I thought these tools would just be the same with lightroom's but I am wrong. I believe Capture one has different implementation with their exposure & brightness tool and in my opinion its implementation is more useful.

Thanks for the comment.

You are very welcome. Thanks for the comment.

[@TheSoPhar]

This is absolutely helpful .thank you so much

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are very welcome.

[@ianyorke2617]

It would be helpful to follow this up with how the levels tool interacts with exposure and brightness.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

I am planning on more of this type of video. So you never know.

[@DipeshMehrotra]

thanks Scott.. I use to jump straight to HL and Shadows recovery earlier, instead of playing with this.. I think COne shoukld rename Brightnes to Midtones and club it with HL and Shadows Recovery

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

There is nothing wrong with jumping into HL earlier. There really are no rules.

[@georgb.920]

Excellent explained. Many Thanks.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

[@philipbrindle867]

Great video Scott, thanks very much for sharing...

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you Philip. I hope you find it useful.

[@damianpritchett5489]

Thanks for that Scott. Do you ever use the exposure warning whilst editing photos or do you rely solely on the histogram?

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are welcome Damian. I never use the exposure warning. Not because I'm against using it. I just don't think to turn it on. Though I always use the histogram. I also always use my camera histogram when taking pictures too.

[@damianpritchett5489]

@@ScottWilliamsPhotography Thanks for your reply. I use it quite often as a guide and often intrigued how one colour channel will be blown out as opposed to the others. For example the red channel could be blown out in a sunset shot and when exposure and brightness adjustments don't work I find myself tinkering with the level and curves to pull that channel back from clipping on the histogram.

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Thanks for this Scott I was needing a reminder sometimes gets confusing when you are using both C1 & Lightroom. Could do with more like this. New subr

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you very much Jim. If this video does well then I am planning to do more on using individual Capture One tools. And maybe even videos on how to get a similar look to images processed with Lightroom in Capture One.

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Scott Williams Photography that would be great as I put all my architectural stuff through C1 and there all Fuji rafs so render better but it takes me ages compared to LR so more the better 🙏

[@thedimtenuk]

I would have involved the highlight slider in your garden/sky example. Would it have the same effect ? I tend to increase exposure (to get light and fix mid tone) then highlight slider to bring them down. Any thoughts or comment on this ? Thanks again

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

There are a few ways to achieve similar results on an edit. Using another tool would have exceeded the scope of this tutorial which is just to show what can be done with exposure & brightness.

[@thedimtenuk]

Scott Williams Photography ok that makes sense. Thanks for the quick reply and for these amazing tutorials !

[@patricklancien1506]

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are welcome Waldir. Thanks for the comment.

[@HaiMainite]

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Because this is a tutorial about the exposure and brightness controls.
