Ten Top Tips for Capture One 12

[@tectorama]

Very good set of videos, clear and concise. So many people gabble away ten to the dozen, and have the cursor flying all over the screen.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you very much :)

[@coreycorey9611]

Scott, as a new user of Capture 1 Fuji your videos are very useful. Your presentation is easy to follow and you have really upped my learning curve. Thank you and keep them coming.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you John. I appreciate the feedback. Fuji is a great system and Capture One is the perfect software to use it with. I must get hold of a Fuji camera to see what I can achieve with Fuji/Capture One. I may pick up a little X-T20 as an every day pocket camera.

[@buontempone9]

I've been a Capture One Pro user since version 8 and never knew about using inverted color-range selected masks with the color balance tool (orange and teal effect). Thanks for that tip!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You are welcome Wayne. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@dennisvanmierlo]

Hi Scott, Your best tip I find is to always show the crop frame. So simple but so very useful. 👌🥇 Lot's of greetings, Dennis 🤗

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Cheers Dennis. Greetings to you too. I really think it should have been on by default.

[@CarolRawlings]

These most useful tips are exactly what a I need to get me really going with C1. I’ve used LR since version 2.0 and it’s second nature to me, so it’s been quite challenging figuring out how to do everything I’m used to C1. Thank you! Subscribed!

Thank you Rivki. I'm glad it helps. I will have a new Capture One video up in a few days. It is a great program. If you stick with it you will get superior results 😀

[@danimekun]

The crop tool tip is really handy! Thanks.

You are welcome Daniel. It's the little things that make the difference in day to day use of any software.

[@mbutton48]

Thank you.. . I saved it as I'm new to Capture One 12 and will need to watch it a few times and honestly, I'm Old school and really never used LR even though I have the Master Suite. I used good 'Ol Photoshop so... ha... I'm sooo old I used to teach film photography... Thank you for being here.... You're a good teacher... I just need to speed up is all... ha.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you Mike. I really hope you enjoy Capture One as much as I do. I have a new Capture One tips video coming out in the next few days. And i'm not so young myself. I won't see 50 again 😀

I've done well professionally in digital stuff over the last 10 years but man... I still find myself learning more and more... I used to be the master photographer (teaching film photography) on a collage level and have become the grasshopper... ha... But the bottom line is I LOVE photography.... Thank you for being a good teacher...

Absolutely fantastic video!!! The best video on Capture One I have ever seen! Thank you very much :). 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Thank you Iwecks !!!

[@cristianfuentes69]

excellent! ... what I still have trouble doing is for example in a portrait, leaving only the subject in color and the background in black and white. it's something that I did very easily in Lr and in C1 it's quite difficult for me. I think that the tools of color in Lr maybe are more limited, but they are easier to use than those of C1 ... greetings

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Hi Christian. Here are a couple of ways to solve your problem. 1 create a layer and use the brush tool to mask it. Then invert the layer and reduce the saturation. 2 If the subject is a single colour then use the advanced colour picker to select a colour. Set the ranges and then invert the colour selection. Now just reduce the saturation of that colour selection. Hope that helps.

4:53 PhaseOne said in their webinar that if your window preview size is bigger than the settings you choose in menu, then CaptureOne is going to render a FULL preview instead of a 640px for example. I didn't try, but be aware of this comment.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Cheers Aleksander. I will have to investigate.

[@ernestomarquez8239]

Hi Scott. Thank you so much for all the helpful tips. I am new on Post editing and tried the PRO trial version. I am having hard time trying the color picking topic. I tried to pick the eye color and when i cange the hue, everything changes. should be the eye only right?What am I doing wrong?

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Hi Ernesto. Thanks for commenting. I can't think of what you are doing wrong. I have never had this problem. If I think of something I will let you know.

great tips very nice video . one question : how can i empty trash session because never is .active and all the images take a huge part of my hard disk on MacBook pro and the ..fill the case also . thanks a lot

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

You should be able to just right click on the trash folder in the library tab and select "Empty session trash". It works for me her on PC.

[@ParadigmImagesVideoPhotography]

Does spot removal work in the trail version? it does not when I click on the spot to be removed?

[@MikePhumanaut]

Do you know if there is something to similar in Lightroom where it converts the image to greyscale and shows you what aspects of the image you are sharpening easier?

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

As far as I can tell, Luminar does not show you the sharp edges in black and white. I never used it in Lightroom so I don't miss it.

[@scottedwards5191]

Well done, thanks!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

[@ISPhotographer]

Great tips, switching in Capture from LR and i realy love it. Looked on the net but no answers... do you know if you can create image stacks like in LR, i find it very useful when having raw and psd (or different tipe of formats of the same image). Thank you very much!!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Cheers Ian. As far as I know there is no way to stack or group the images in this way. I agree it would be very useful.

[@fsahouri]

thanks for the video, am trying to switch to capture one from Lightroom i love capture one but there is one thing i cant do in capture one, in Lightroom there is a dehaze slide when i decrease dehaze (minus number) i get nice effect for black and white images, can you do a video on how to get this effect in capture one

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

That is a really good idea. I will look into it and see what I can do.

[@qccanales8610]

[@skyrocker71]

When i finish editing, and i export it , capture one exports it ( jpeg srgb ) with more saturated colors...how to fix this , pls help

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Hi Leo. Are you selecting the sgrb LCC profile on export?

[@skyrocker71]

@@ScottWilliamsPhotography LCC or ICC ?

ICC. How are you viewing the image. Does it appear more saturated in the photo viewer and also in an editor such as Affinity Photo?

@@ScottWilliamsPhotography no , in affinity photo looks exactly howni edited it , but with windows photo viewer or my cell phone looks saturated , very disappointing, because how to deliver to customers?

[@claireswanson9391]

Thank you for excellent videos. Any tips on brightening up eyes for dogs and humans? Just watched your new video removing dark spots and bags under eyes, very good.

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

Hi Claire. Thanks for the comment. One tip I can give you is to add a touch of clarity to any eyeball to give it a little pop. Other than that I think this could be a candidate for another video as there are a few ways to brighten and enhance the eyeballs of humans and animals. I will add it to the list. I may make it my next video as it will complement the eye bags video very well.

[@bongiss]

What film curve would you suggest ? Film standard? Linear response? Cheers

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

I always use linear response.I like to have a more neutral starting point for my edits. Also, I find that the film curve can over saturate the shadows. Especially when you are trying to recover detail from them.

[@bongiss]

Im shooting fuji and use ettr. But using linear response, the images are like 1 to 2 stops under expose. Is this normal? Should i adjust how i capture photos? Cheers

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

With the linear curve they will appear under exposed by default. Just up the exposure slider until they look correct. You will not need to change your exposure in camera. If you press CTRL+L to auto correct you will get a good starting point for your adjustments.

[@bongiss]

I didnt know the ctrl + L trick. Will do that. Thank you

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

It is the keyboard shortcut for auto adjust. You can set it to do this by default on image import too. Very handy.

[@BikeLife154]

Why are there no layers on the free trial????

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

I have no idea. There should be.

[@BikeLife154]

Thanks for the reply scott! I will try to contact them. I've been watching tutorials to do cloning and I don't have layers. Maybe it's just me but I think lightroom is still better than this software

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

I personally think Capture One is way better than Lightroom. Due to it's speed and the way it handles colour. I can just get better results from it. And also its cataloging systems are way more advanced. But it may not be the best fit for everyone. I mainly use Affinity Photo and Luminar 3 to do things that Capture One can't do. If you are after something more like Lightroom then maybe you should check out Luminar 3, ON1 Photo Raw 2019 or Alienware Exposure X4. You may find one that suits. Or just stick with Lightroom. Lightroom really is very good.

[@BikeLife154]

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I've just bought the Fuji xt3 and my lightroom 5 will no longer recognize the files so I need to decide what software I'm going to purchase. I guess LR has become so comfortable now and intuitive something I'm not finding with capture 1 and affinity for Ipad. I wish there was one program that was a combination of many!

[@ScottWilliamsPhotography]

@@BikeLife154 Congratulations on getting the X-T3. It is a fantastic camera. I'm currently looking to upgrade from my a6300 and at the moment the a7iii and the X-T3 are the two cameras in the running. Capture one will give you superb sharpening for the X-T3 without the wormy effect of Lightroom sharpening. I had a thought. Have you installed "Capture One Express Fujifilm" instead of "Capture One Pro 12" for Fuji. The express version is free but has no layer support. Capture One Pro 12 for Fuji should have layer support in the trial version.
