TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
CaptureOne Pro
Quality, speed and simplicity were characteristics I was looking for in my DAM (Digital Assets Manager). In that order.
Post-production and photo editing used to be a dreadful part of photography for me. Then I found CaptureOne Pro and it was like a ray of light in the darkness. In this workshop, I will show you why I never looked back and what makes CaptureOne Pro, in my opinion, the best photo editing software and an excellent DAM.
Expected knowledge to attend: Beginner to Beginner-Intermediate
You don't need any special preexisting CaptureOne knowledge to attend this workshop. It also doesn't hurt if you are already somewhat familiar with the software. We will start with strong foundations, build from there and by the end of the workshop you will be well versed in the CaptureOne software.
Topics & Activities
Every photograph is edited! We can only decide to do it on our own or trust someone else.
In this fun and comprehensive introduction to photography post-production, we will do a deep dive into all the essentials of sorting, working with and editing our photographs.
Introduction
There is NO digital photo that wouldn't be edited! We can only decide to either let some general algorithm do it or do it ourselves. It is also nothing new and we still use the same principles as they already existed in analogue times.
Optics
We start our CaptureOne photo editing journey with optics. Photography lenses and cameras themselves are far from perfect. But CaptureOne went to great lengths to help us deal with those technical challenges and elevate quality.
Detail
Balancing sharpening, detail, bokeh and noise is a delicate dance. It is not uncommon to see way overdone photographs, and it is a tell-tale sign they weren't edited in CaptureOne Pro.
Post-Processing Principles
Every bit of data lost is lost forever. That is why we try to bring and keep as much data as possible in editing. We will talk about file formats, colour spaces, compatibilities and exports.
Exposure
CaptureOne offers dozens of refined and powerful tools to deal with the exposure challenges we photographers face. It is really remarkable how much seemingly lost information can we recover and how true to our eye the end result is.
Local
This is where the real party begins! Edit different parts of images differently, to really bring their potential out. Selecting, masking and fine-tuning is a breeze I haven't experienced with any other photo editing software.
Workflow
CaptureOne Pro is already fast, but we can make our post-production work go even faster! Instructor will share with you his personal workspace that he created over half of a million photos and 10+ years of editing experience.
Colour
How it works with colour, is perhaps THE strongest argument for CaptureOne Pro. It is also what finally convinced me. Tools are unmatched by their capabilities and at the same time produce beautifully natural results.
Retouch, HDR, Panorama, Live and Export
CaptureOne Pro is all and more than 99% of photographers will ever need. Especially with the latest developments adding functionalities for which we used to need specialised software. We will go through all the use cases.
