Here we will introduce the class and its structure.
In this lecture we will understand how catalogs work, create one, and understand populating it.
Organize images in Capture One by creating albums and smart albums within a single workspace, using catalogs, user collections, and keywords.
Understand the folder view as the physical storage location for images, how it differs from catalog indexing and albums, and how to move and relink files across drives.
Customize and organize the toolbar in Capture One, adding or removing tools, using space and flexible space, and mastering quick access to import, export, and culling.
Understand Capture One's toolbar essentials: cursor tools, cropping and keystone, masking basics, color picker for white balance, copy and apply edits, annotations, overlays, and tethering features.
Explore the Capture One sessions workflow for a single client shoot. Live-monitored folders (captures, selects, output, trash) guide editing and client delivery, unlike catalogs.
In this complete class, we will examine the Capture One software from beginning to end. Even if you haven't used Capture One before, we will get you up to speed. And if you've used the software for some time, we will help you maximize your effectiveness and efficiency. We begin with image organization, because this is where most people have significant issues. We will build a catalog and understand how they operate. Then we will use Capture One to manage the actual data on your machine. Of course, once we use Capture One to manage your image, we will need to organize images within Capture One. This is the album and group structure, which we will tackle next. The middle portion of the class is all about image editing. We will explore exposure, contrast, color control, white balance, noise reduction, detail sharpening and more in our editing section. This culminates with a full course on masking and layering. Capture One is also the most powerful tethering tool in the world, so we will examine how this feature works. Lastly, we will need to export variants to your specifications on demand and easily. I hope you join us for a fun time exploring one of the most powerful editors and organizers in the photographic world.
