Post-Production #1: Pro Black & White Processing in Capture One

[@davidcolephoto]

Beautiful work. I appreciate how purposeful you were in handling small details to convey your artistic intent. I can use a lot of what I learned from this tutorial.

Master class of handcrafted image. I really like your sutil approach to post processing

excellent tutorial Clinton. Love your techniques and your teaching methods are very clear. Will be looking for more of your videos. I would love love love for you to teach a color toning vid of your recent boudoir photo on instagram!

Thanks for showing this. I was really quite surprised how much local selection is necessary to balance it out so nicely. Again, thanks. I'll approach my b&w's differently now.

Favorite tool in C1 being able to make such powerful local adjustments. I do more work in C1 than PS nowadays.

Thank you for a great tutorial. You were really developing this image, the same as you had done it in lab.

Thanks for the nice video on your technique. Are you using some sort of stylus with the mask-burn/dodge tools (or mouse)? I guess there's still no way to really utilize something like an iPad Pro with LR/C1? Are the Capture One people usually good about updates (like for the 5D4 :)?

Hi Gus, either or for me - over the years I have become equally at home with a stylus or mouse or my finger on the laptop when I must! No iPad Pro that I am aware of. Updates are good, but it is really by far the most powerful and squeezes every last bit of quality out of a well shot raw file.

Haha, caught out! This was our very first attempt - we have adopted exactly your suggestion since then. Thanks.
