As a C1 user myself that isn't into Lightroom at all, I'm glad to see you doing a tutorial for this program. I hope many more may follow! 🙂 Thank you very much for all that you do. There's something to learn every time.
The control over local adjustments and masks is probably the main reason why I went to capture one and stay with it. You can do almost any adjustment with a local adjustment and the masking controls are fantastic. I think addition to the luminosity as you showed me you can create a mask based on color. For example if you wanted to increase clarity on just the orange but not the yellow parts of that flower, you can do that. Or, just on the shadow areas of those orange parts. You can refine the masks with further techniques they give you, or a invert the mask, copy mask from another layer, etc. Love it.
Finally found someone who knows what they are talking about. The switch from Lr has been frustrating but your explanation here helps a lot. I'll subscribe and check out your other videos.
Hands down one of the best videos I've seen on photo editing! I've been using C1 since I started my journey, and I haven't realized the strength of Luma range! Thank you for elevating my work to a much higher level!
I started using Capture One because it had superior rendering from Fujifilm’s X-Trans images. Luma masks and style brushes are great. Thanks for showing this great photography tool and introducing it to more people. Very well done and super easy to follow video.
Love the shows and I'm a Nikon shooter! Always liked you, I am just confused why landscape photography has to be soooo edited. I'm NOT an expert at landscapes, but I do 99% in camera and have been using D100/D1 to now D6 and D850 combo with backup D5. I only used CP or CPL Polar Pro and some quick little edits. I've never once done any layers or removing objects or photoshop tricks. I guess as a Photojournalist that I don't get it, to each their own though. At what point is a photo no longer reality and just art? I appreciate single image captures in camera, minor edits...not composite's or photoshop combining layers, masks and all of the tricks. An images is either great in camera or it's not. You can edit some images and make them look better, but they'll never be GREAT unless they started great. So I don't even shoot most landscapes or sunsets I see here, because if the conditions atmospheric, temperature inversions, etc. I have a $1800 tripod and head, PMG 42mm Pro Stix legs and RRS BH-55, Zenelli gimbals and lens feet. I just prefer to use filters and in camera tricks or options and then be done. Few slider's if need, but too much and looks overdone. Much like advertising billboards or magazine images of super-models. I'd rather my images look real and beautiful and NOT fake or heavily edited.
Hi, Im unsure if you could help me. I have capture one 22 but don't seem to have the 'Layers' section. Is there something in the settings I can adjust to show this?
Thanks for an excellent video. You have convinced me to get Capture One. I met a PhaseOne rep yesterday who explained the difference between Lightroom and Capture One. Thank you.
Nice video Mark. For Fujifilm shooters like me Capture One definitely is the way to go. They recently replaced my Fujifilm only version with the pro version for all camera brands at no extra cost. Nice! Now I can add all my old Nikon photo's to the catalog.
@Mark Denney - why do you create a "filled layer" when you apply a gradient? doesn't applying the gradient effectively remove the fill and only apply the gradient?
Always enjoy your videos--thanks so much! I have learned to love LrC, Photoshop not so much. The ability to “intersect masks” in LrC seems to be very powerful. The options to “paint a mask” and “select the sky for masking” in LrC are incredible tools. Intersecting luminance with any other masking option was a game changer for me. Maybe I will stick with the 10,000-pound gorilla, LrC. Again thanks!
You are one of (if not THE) best I've ever seen at doing so much editing and still retaining the reality in the photo. I really want to like Capture One - but I've had so many problems with it that I tend to shy away from it in favor of other programs. There is a lot of power behind it though.
@@Invalidus-v5z - constantly forces me to "Sign In / postpone up to 30 days". To do so I have to shut down my security software (Kaspersky), and often still get error messages. Next time I start the software, same thing. Technical support is sporadic at best. When I did get a reply, I tried their "solutions", but the problems return within a week or two. At this point I really wish I hadn't wasted the money.
Thanks again Mark for showing us how you use C1. You've used your custom style brushes again. I was wondering if you could share your formulas or maybe create a set for sale. I had mentioned this on your previous video on C1.
Thank you for this video, it may be the most helpful I've seen. I've been a LR only user since 13. Unfortunately i bought a nikon z6II a few months ago and my version of LR won't recognize the raw files. I refuse to pay the adobe subscription, but I'm struggling to learn capture one and darktable as replacement programs.
Mark, I understand that Fuji X-Trans files are much better when rendered in Capture One. Do you find the same thing is true when working with GFX files, which come from a Bayer sensor? Thanks.
It would be great if you could do a start to finish video using capture one on how to edit a photo?! I've nearly watched all of your videos since the start and have learnt a heck of a lot so thanks very much!
Enjoyed it as use Capture One, but still have learned a lot from your Lightroom video. I fall asleep watching the one hour long Capture One Video TH-cam Channel every time.
I use Photoshop to clean up images like removing debris, unwanted elements, etc. Would you recommend, if I used Capture One, that I do Capture One edits first, then Photoshop, or the other way around? Would Capture One replace my Lightroom or is it just an additional option to edit? Thanks !
Hi Mark, I love to watch your videos, They are fantastic. In so many videos, I saw different types of photo frame. Just a question: do you make your own photo frame? if so how do you make it...thanks
Great video - inspired me to want to try Capture One. i used the link and was hoping to do the 30 day trial for my iPad but it doesn’t seem to be for the app (and it is only 7 days when you do it yourself that way) - do you know if we can take advantage of the trial for an iPad somehow?
Thanks AGAIN Mark for all your work and lessons! Question for you: A while ago, you made a video for Lr for iPad, would you consider doing a video for CO for iPad? Thanks again!!
Thanks for the great video Mark. As a recent subscriber to Capture One (thanks for the discount code) your tutorials have been a great help. I had been using the magic brush to create masks but your point about creating a hard edge will have me rethink that. I do have a question that is off topic though. I noticed you have dehaze near the bottom whereas I put mine above exposure as it tends to darken the image. I'm still fiddling with work flow so do you have any thoughts on that? Thanks.
Looks an awesome tool. What do u suggest the best tools to use for editing? Does Capture One allow to layer multiple photos like you showed on a previous tutorial with having the foreground, mid and distance focused?
Thank you for another great video. I have been considering Capture One because of what I have read about how well their color rendition is. My question is, how is it with working in concert with Photoshop? Also, do you mostly edit your portfolio quality images with C1 and PS; or LR? Just curious.
You're making it very difficult to stay on LR....so hard to not push that purchase button! Great tips either way, I'm sure something similar can be done in LR as well, with the way you can intersect masks and all?
Hi Mark, thanks for the tutorial. Question: I currently use the free version of C1 for Fuji. I'm not certain what tools I'm missing. As an amateur, I'm not sure if the cost of upgrading will add tools that make it worth buying. Any thoughts about that? Also, do you think the subscription version is a better deal than the one time license? Thanks and have a great week!
I upgraded this year for around 180 and I use it occasionally. I can remove unwanted objects and color processing is improved. Plus I own my own copy now instead of some ridiculous subscription. Glad I bought it.
That lumina function seems to replicate masking with edges; the capture auto mask feature doesn't seem to be very accurate with my fuji files. I will start using that lumina function. Thanks.
test the Magic brush on the flower image make an empty layer drag the brush down to zero in size click on the flower then only the flower is filled do the same on the parts that are under the flower. Alternatively draw a line and the flower will also fill the parts that are below the flower. it is easier and faster. But I think the first option works best on the flower. Magic tool is now more my favorite tool when it comes to masking parts of an image it works 85%
Seeing this made me want to try Capture One again. ...BUT it still will not import from any of my cameras (XH2 and Nikon D850). The import function simply does not seem to find any files in the camera. That's why I am only using LightroomC as it imports without a problem. Capture one seems to have the same import option (I select import from D850 but it just shows the camera has no files and therefore nothing can be imported). I would love to be able to use C1 as the software came with a free 1 year subscription when I purchased the xh2. Best I can tell I have to import the photos to my laptop first, then import them into c1, which is not a great workflow. AND I cannot seem to find a simple tutorial on the subject, as well every video I can find only shows importing from the laptop, not the camera. Anyone able to help out?
Actually, as an aside, I tried to login and download the free trial and after creating a login the screen freezes and I can't go any further. Doesn't seem worth the hassle if I can't even get the trial to work?
What You think guys, is better to start with LR or CaptureOne if im a beginner? With Adobe is nice I can use it on my s22 Ultra, and CaptureOne only with Ipad as i know, is tough choice, I love to photograph lanscapes and wildlife
Capture One is often overlooked by many LR users for various reasons, but once you learn the power of it you will be hard pressed to switch back to LR.
Have you stopped using the Adobe Products? I am not a fan of their subscription model and am thinking of trying Capture ONE and if it will do the things I have come to expect with Photoshop/Lightroom I'll pay for the program. Some things in Adobe require both Lightroom and Photoshop, like focus stacking. Do you still need Photoshop?
@@tommygaming590 The best way is to try for yourself. It’s all subjective. I have no canon files so I cannot chip in my opinion on that. It is a well known fact that a lot of Fuji users have abandoned Lightroom for Capture One because of the superior way Capture One render their files, they feel. I just wanted to tell that it is not just Fuji users that feel that way about Capture One vs. Lightroom.
I have thought about switching to C1 from LRC but seeing this video I am not so sure anymore... LRC uses ai to detect subjects, the sky and the foreground and mask them in a matter of seconds. I am afraid C1 has to wait until it catches up in that department.
oh, and I forgot to say that in C1 I have everything I need in a tab, since you can create a favs tab and put all the tools you use the most there... it's something that saves me a lot of time
Hope there will be more like this. I loved it!
As a C1 user myself that isn't into Lightroom at all, I'm glad to see you doing a tutorial for this program. I hope many more may follow! 🙂

Wow, thank you for sharing those beautiful photos and also I learn something new 💝💖💝
Thanks Mark! Its good to see more content on how you use Capture One.
Thanks David - glad you enjoyed it!
Very helpful video! Thank you!
Thanks Mark! I bought Capture One after your June video and really appreciate you showing more videos on how to use it. Keep up your amazing work!

Thanks so much - 100% agree!
Great! Thanks Mark! Could you do a little video on how to make those style brushes you use? Or share your presets? That would be cool!
"Light naturally spills over..." Well said, Mark. Important point when taking the image as well as in post-processing. Another great video.
Thanks Michael!
Great video as usual. Can you provide a link to your style brush presets used for clarity and saturation?
@Mark Denney - why do you create a "filled layer" when you apply a gradient? doesn't applying the gradient effectively remove the fill and only apply the gradient?

Thanks for the video, Mark! Can you say why the Zion crossing bridge is now closed for photography?
It was just getting too crowded with photographers and tripods everywhere creating a dangerous situation.
@@MarkDenneyPhoto Okay can understand. Stood there myself a couple of years ago and it was pretty crowded with cars and people :D
Thanks Mark! Do you ever find forgotten photos?

C1 needs to create an HSL panel as on Camera Raw or Lr and increase the flexibility of layer masking as now possible in the Adobe Suite. 👍

Hey Mark which one do you think is better for RAW- Lightroom or CaptureOne?
I’m a Fuji guy so definitely C1
Oh thanks!
Capture One is not only for Fuji though. I personally much prefer the results I’m getting in Capture One with my Nikon files as well.
@@freetibet1000 Oh. Is it good for canon files tho?

Hey guys. Give this guy more likes. Very underrated. Go Mark, Go Mark, Go Mark!
Luminosity Masks are the key to editing landscapes.
When creating a new layer for radial or linear gradient filters no need to do the new filled layer the gradient mask overrides the full mask.
jr
I started using Capture One the other day because Fuji Users get it for free
I have thought about switching to C1 from LRC but seeing this video I am not so sure anymore... LRC uses ai to detect subjects, the sky and the foreground and mask them in a matter of seconds. I am afraid C1 has to wait until it catches up in that department.
For me Capture One is the best software for editing, period. WHen I mean the best, I mean the best to take out all the juice from a RAW
oh, and I forgot to say that in C1 I have everything I need in a tab, since you can create a favs tab and put all the tools you use the most there... it's something that saves me a lot of time
