Capture One is by far the powerful RAW file editor on the market. If you want to get the most out of your camera, you need to give it a try.
This video is the first in a multi-part series on how to get amazing results using Capture One. If you have any questions of how to do something, how it integrates with Adobe Photogshop or compares to Lightroom - drop me a comment.

Thank you for starting this series. I'm a Capture One user, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how you work with the program. One thought on what you said. I do travel photography, and I use Sessions instead of Catalogs for this reason. Assume your entire collection is saved in one Catalog. That file will become massive, and every time you make the slightest change to any individual photo in that catalog, the file will be marked as having changed. I use Time Machine to backup my computer on an external drive. Even the slightest change will change that huge file, and Time Machine will back up yet another copy of it. Because catalogs are so huge, your backup drive will quickly fill up ... at least that's what I understand. By working with Sessions, you are working with smaller, more manageable files - and saving an incredible amount of backup space.

I'm really looking forward to the series! I have been using all of the major photo editors but keep on going back to Capture One. The results are always far better. I find that I trip a over the nuances of Capture One. This is why I am so interested in what Ted will be doing -- he has a way of making what he talks about so much more simple.

Thanks Ted. I tried Luminar and Lightroom but settled on Capture One because for me it seemed to be the easiest to use. I don't do much in post processing, but the little I do is right at my fingertips. I do use Sessions rather than Catalogs; that system seems to work better for me. I'm looking forward to your additional videos on Capture One. I'm a slow learner when it comes to technology, so being able to reference back to your videos is a huge help. Thanks again, man!

Great video Ted. I started my photography journey two years ago this coming Christmas. I bought C1 and subscribed to Adobe at the same time. I was a newbie on both platforms. I think I opened Adobe a half dozen times. C1 was just more intuitive to me and (although C1 tends to sharpen the initial RAW more than Lightroom) I was always so much more impressed with the initial file. C1 has some great tutorials online. The manipulation of color in C1 is astounding. I love that I can buy it and it belongs to me, rather than leasing it from Adobe. I don't think I save that much money (I keep updating C1 every year because of great new functionality (ie Luminosity masking)), but owning the software makes more sense to me, especially if times get hard. With a lease, you will be shut out as soon as you cancel. Looking forward to future videos on C1!

as a photography teacher Lightroom / CR is the editing standard in a lot of schools. I usually don’t recommend starting students to step into Capture1 because of the not so welcoming interface and all the extra editing tools. As a professional photographer though, I use Capture1 as my base editing software. It extracts so much more information out of my files and most importantly of all the RAW editing software available, Capture1 gives me the opportunity to create my style of editing. That is the main key of chosing your base RAW editing software.

Would love a session on the colour wheels. How to use them to correct colours, not make wild colour changes. EG my Nikon’s usually have yellow biased greens and need to be corrected in Capture 1 - works ok in other editors. I have made custom camera profiles for use in Capture that do help significantly. Also, if you have a line to Phase, how do we create shortcut keys to edit in photoshop and open in photoshop. The edit in was available a few versions ago but has been taken away. The open in has never had short cut key ability. This is a major announce for round tripping into photoshop. Can only do it via menus.

Also a little bit frustrating in C1 is the (De-)Noise panel: I can't get the good results as in Lightroom. Whatever I tried and do Lightroom's results are always better. I watched so many C1 tutorials to achieve better results but sill not so much luck in that regard.

I have just switched to Fuji after being a Nikon user for 20 years. My current workflow is built around Lightroom. I have read that there are worming issues in LR with Fuji Raw files. I have been looking into Capture One and it looks like a great alternative. I like how C1 supports the Fuji files and offers all the Fuji film simulations. The main thing I am missing is the option to merge HDR raw files, I know there are several HDR merge plugins available, but as far as I know, none of them let you save the merged image as a DNG or other RAW file format, losing the RAW benefits when bringing the merged image back into C1. The alternative is to keep using LR with the Iridient X-Transformer plug-in. The downside is that LR doesn't support the Fuji system as well as C1. I was wondering whether you have any thoughts on this and how you handle the lack of HDR merge in C1.

I'm concerned that if I make the editor switch I'll mess up how I'm currently storing files on disk. Thanks.

I'm new to Cap One so I'm probably doing something wrong as most people seem to love Cap One. I'll just have to research it a bit more. Perhaps it's a matter of building a custom icc profile?

Yay Ted! Adobe out grew me. I found Sony .arw files OOC always look better w/CaptureOne than LR. I get better results more easily. Recently I've been frustrated though. I like to make adjustments on a calibrated cheap IPS monitor and print on Canon Pro 10. Everything works great mostly..... Now when I'm working on a file with the proofing on, it gets pixilated when I magnify. If I turn off proofing that's the only way to magnify 100% clearly. I must have changed a setting unwittingly. If you can assist that'd be so good. But you can't be everybody's fixer upper either. So I summarize that I'm excited to follow your C1 instructional series like your other vids in the past. Good man, if I say so.
