Portrait Workflow Techniques using Capture One 20

[@PhoneNHe]

This is the most valuable learning minutes ever on this topic in Capture One. A million thanks, Eli for this exceptional effort.

[@EliInfante]

Glad it was helpful! I just released a new Capture One video this morning :)

[@romiemiller3093]

I srated the 30-day trial today. I was impressed that C!1-21 asked what camera brand I use. Other programs are generic. I don't know the work flow much yet, but I like what I've learned.

[@davidvazquez8225]

This tutorial blew me away... WOW I've been thinking of switching to Capture considering the type of shoots and colors I like and I feel very limited with Lightroom. Thank you for this in-depth look into your editing style Eli, very well done!

[@EliInfante]

Great to hear David!

[@rodsilva80]

The smoothness slider is about the "transition width" on the color wheel to feather your adjustment. It has nothing to do with "how smooth is the color".

[@EliInfante]

That's what I was trying to say but I said it wrong. Thanks for the feedback Rodrigo!

[@hbrosenberg]

Thank you so much. This was very informative. I very much appreciate that you provided a copy of the RAW file to work along with you on. That alone was hugely helpful. I'm truly a novice, but considering capture one since the photo editor I used to use was lightroom 6, and I'm not interested in a subscription model. Thanks again.

[@EliInfante]

You're very welcome!

Excellent tutorial, downloaded the file and worked along with u. So fa I’m loving C1 in the week I’ve had it.

[@EliInfante]

Thanks man! What is your favorite feature in C1 so far?

[@grosado]

@@EliInfante I shoot Sony and the files look great, I love working in layers. Now using the "migration" workspace for now until I custom the menu. Oh, also I love to work with sessions instead of catalogs. Having all these folders organized in the session is awesome, I bought the Sony version years ago guess it was Capture One 9 and never bothered to learn it, the learning curve hasn't been that bad as I thought it would be.

[@jasusyb2734]

smooth is about the selection i believe, it doesn't change anything

[@EliInfante]

Yes I made a mistake sorry!

[@darcybrown7369]

brand new user still in trial period -newbie question - I made a new tool bar as per Eli' instructions - added a complete list of tools I usually might need -named it, chose icon etc - seemed fine but then realised that some of the drop down menus won't open - e.g. filters, library, curves, keywords, color balance, black and white, lens correction, keyword library, style brushes or presets - is there a maximum number that can be added and work ? Are there some rules you need to know that aren't obvious? Any help appreciated.

[@kyleschuman3805]

Great techniques - I appreciate you sharing them with us. The process for broadening the skin tones in the beginning is killer. One thing that popped into my head when doing the before & after comparisons at 19:00 is how much the image would have changed if you'd have profiled from a color checker like an X-rite tool. I know you've done skin work at this point, but globally I wonder what the starting point would have been.

I use capture one and Photoshop to edit my images but i don't find the right workflow to be more efficient in my editions, sometimes i am in capture one and jump to Photoshop and look like two or three times, I don't know if for your audience it'll be a good idea but if you decide to make it, I will be very happy. Thanks for your amazing content

[@EliInfante]

You got it Jose!

[@soundman79]

Eli, thank you so much for helping us enter the world of portrait editing with Capture One. With all the modifications you did, I wonder whether there is a chance in C1 to store your default values in a brush to not having to recall them when editing. I used a lot of customized brushes in Lightroom and would love to keep the element in C1. Do you have any tipps? Thanks in advance

[@rodneyturnerphoto]

Great video. I'll have to play around with this today. Thanks for sharing your image. A quick way to do before and after is going into the keyboard shortcut and giving it a open key. I used the Y key. By default Shift+Y changes the before and after mode.

[@EliInfante]

Great tip! I'm going to use that thanks!

[@JanKratochvilcom]

Thank you! Helpful.

You're welcome!

[@NikCan66]

[@bosmanerwin]

about luma range: how can your sensitivity slider work if you have the radius set to zero? You have to have some minimal radius to make your sensitivity slider operational, no?

[@akshay_jpeg]

Yes Yes Yes Thank you... You're the best 😍

[@EliInfante]

You're welcome 😊 If you have any questions let me know

[@akshay_jpeg]

@@EliInfante How would you take this to Photoshop for further edit? Do export it as TIFF and open it over there or is there a way to directly open it on PS from Capture one? Thanksss :)

[@GaryRogersDOP]

Awesome tutorial.. Thats explained a good few things in one great video! Thank you sir!

[@EliInfante]

Glad it was helpful Gary!

[@stkuj]

SOLD! Great job - now I need C1 (the Luma range is bomb). Jeez...not much need to PS anymore LOL

[@EliInfante]

Kepano 808 Yeah man C1 can do a lot! You can even copy the adjustments to other photos for quick edits

[@stkuj]

@@EliInfante That's insane! I was digging the "skin tone" feature. I spend an hour the other day fixing and matching a bad makeup job. I guess I'm in a dilemma about getting C1. I see the benefits, but I still need PS for frequency separation. I'm not sure if I should spend the extra $$$?

[@Fotogoscar]

@@stkuj You can do frequency separation in Affinity Photo - much cheaper than PS

one more thing: you need to rasterize a luma mask before working with the brush to change the mask?

[@SidneyPratt]

Excellent.

[@robcavenphotography5231]

Fantastic, thank you so much. I'm just transitioning from lightroom and I'm in love with Capture One 20 so far. Just one question, does Capture One have an ability similar to "auto mask" when painting localised masks? Thank you :)

[@EliInfante]

Yes you can!

[@james-r]

Does the latest version of Capture One allow more than 10 layers?

[@EliInfante]

I believe so James.

[@lauriewahlig2819]

Just started watching your videos and really enjoying your presentations! Do you have a particular set up to your capture one interface or is it the default? Do you use sessions or catalogs? Would love to see any videos on your workflow! TIA

[@JBSPhoto]

Great video! Just a quick question. With the skin tone tab I usually adjust uniformity first and then amount. Is there a reason you do it the other way?

[@EliInfante]

Jack Saady No real reason I’m sure you’re approach is just fine Jack 😁

[@WalterRowePhoto]

Awesome video.

[@EliInfante]

Thanks!

[@tonythomas5978]

Awesome tutorial Eli, really well presented and packed with info. I've been using CO for a few years now and loving it more with each release. Do you try to do full edits soley in CO if you can get away with it as there's so much you can do especially in terms of colour grading. Or do you find that the plethora of techniques for grading and skin retouching in PS is still essential. All the best, Tony.

[@EliInfante]

Glad it was helpful! For client photos most of the edits are done in Capture One with little skin retouching in Photoshop.

[@rubensalashair]

This is a great workflow...however...Im going to be the elephant in the room....This is great for females 20-25 years old. Basically flawless skin. A little dodge and burn and whala! Gorgeous. right...well 20-25 year olds dont buy Portrait packages. Mrs. Smith that is in her late 40's does. This is great for the hobbyist, Not for paid client work. The inability for frequency separation is a deal breaker. Quite honestly, its par lightroom standard. Ive spent hours trying to make it work but have to keep rounding in and out with PS to complete client work. Id love to be able to migrate into C1 but my gut tells me we are years away from adobe standard. I love what you do...I love your work but 18-25 year old females in every portrait, is unrealistic....for a professional anyway. Have a great thanksgiving!

Instead of adding new filled layers and then inverting them why don’t you start with a new empty layer instead ?

[@arthurchassande833]

I don't really understand your use of R+G+B curves to change colors. Doing S curves for each channel is kind of killing what you want to do with the image ... it nearly only increase the overall contrast just as the luma or RGB curve would. Why not using color wheels instead ?

[@EliInfante]

Very true Aruthur! The RGB curve is just my style for editing. It may or may not work for your workflow :)

[@JustinAlexft]

tanks for video, but Lightroom pretty easy for me, but lean much more about capture one in your video

[@EliInfante]

Glad to hear that!

[@vido811212]

So... Sensitivity does NOT work if you don't set a radius first in the luma range tool.. And smoothness on the color tool it's referred to the color you picked.. Does not change the smoothness of the color.. Be careful when you teach something that you are not familiar with..

[@EliInfante]

Yes! This was brought up already 😁
