Great overview. I've been using Capture One Pro for several years, and it's interesting to see other users' workflows. Your audio quality in this presentation is excellent.
I switched to capture one 2-3 months ago, and really loving it. Especially the skin-tone smoothening. it is kinda of like frequency separation and color correction of skin tones. amazing control. also the capture one tethered session with the capture one pilot app for Ipad is amazing if you were to have a client onsite during a shoot that is verifying the shots in realtime.
Thanks for the video! Just a small remark: The catalog is not a single file but a folder that is masked by the Mac os file system as a package. It appears as a single file but is a folder indeed. You can display its contents in the finder by right click -> "Display package content" and e.g. extract the raws.
Great video, concise, informative and light years ahead of the Capture One "Getting Started Video" I agree with Stefan Simonsen 100%! Count me in as a subscriber,
Second that. I am really happy I made the switch for several reasons: image quality being first and most important, but also: no lag when going through catalogue. That was one thing that was really annoying me in Lr. And that was with every single job having its own catalogue in Lr. It seems that Lr has a bit more user-friendly interface, but it's most likely because of just being used to it for years.
This is the best Capture one tutorial video on youtube. However, I have the latest version and I don't have a drop down box to select photoshop for output. Do you know how that is done with the latest version of Capture One?
Quite good. Presenter has a pleasant manner. I found it disorienting that there is a description of why Sessions are so good, but then a side trip into catalogs. Also, the part on culling showed how to narrow down to a couple of good images, but not how to delete the rejected ones from disk. As "getting started" video, I would have liked more info on how to set up albums and files. But, perhaps these are topics for later tutorials.
Great turorial...something so super simple but I cannot find the answer ANYWHERE ... I have upgraded to capture one 11 now I cannot find the "trash" button for an easy delete ( I am on a MAC ) ..I had to shoot action and have to quickly go through many images dumping several in the trash...How to I set it up as a tool...also same with "process" button...I used to have TRASH and Process tool right there in front of me
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and experience, i think i'll stick to Lightroom, your presentation was great, but there is no reason why i should change, Lirghtroom is easy to use, less complicated and the workflow is smooth, especially when one might still need to use LR to organise PSD files, which are almost always! Have a great time, and good luck.
Tooradj Esmailpoor Ghoochani I saw a comparison of raw-conversions of fuji .RAF/Trans X in C1 and LR. LR really sucks at FujiTrans X as there is clear evidence it can be done without partial softening and weird artefacts in foliage. I will give C1 a try.
Great Overview. Thanks Michael! I'd love to see more of the way you enhance your great portraits in Capture One. I'm especially curious, if you use the Skin Tones in the colour editor much :)
Does ph1 make copies of the files to put them in catalog, session, or smart collections - vs virtual pointers?In smart collections, what are the filter options - keyword, star, color, etc.? Keyword is important. Does it have virtual copy capability?On import, can't you default it to do All files?
This tutorial is for Capture One Pro version 7, while there is information that can be gleaned from it, the interface no longer looks like what is shown in the video and you're on your own to figure out the differences, which, if it was that easy, you probhably wouldn't be watching this video in the first place. Just a heads up for you. No disrespect for the person making the video, but it should have been updated and replaced, or at least the title changed to reflect what is being reviewed (in case someone out there actually has a copy of version 7).
I'd like to get the gray background to the various panels when they open as you show in this video, but I don't see the ability to do that in version 10 that I'm using. Is it something that was available in version 7 that has been deleted in version 10? If it's still there please post something on how to enable it. Thanks, Bob B
Great video! But I am having some problems: the images seem to be locked (they all have a crossed pen icon on them, indicating they're not editable). As such, I can't access any of the image editing controls. Any chance you would know how to enable editing?
you can't enhance highlights and shadow in the HDR Dynamic Range tab but you can do it moving the Levels tab points: upper part of the right stick for highlights and lower part of the left stick for shadows. I think this must be included in your tutorials because you always tell that it's impossible to do it in capture one.
Hi, good tutorial. thank you. Questions: Can I use Nik Collection with Capture One, and can I export to Photoshop from Capture One and bring back to keep on editing, the same one it can be done with LR.?
Thanks for all your tutorials, they are great. Small question for all, though. Some it seems like all my capture one controllers are blocked, meaning I cannot do any kind of adjustments. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on?!
I'm using 9 express. Is it possible to move the catalog folder location from C: to another drive? I do not import the images to the catalog but I still want to use a different drive for the catalog though.
I am having a challenge with batch exporting my images, once I'm finished with my editing. While in Lightroom (LR, images can be flagged and then all those can then be selected out with a click of a button, can a similar process be achieved in Capture One (CO). I know there is, but I just don't know how to do it. Can any assist?
thanks for the video. i tried again a new start with capture one after this... but after 15 minutes of searching i went back to lightroom. the menu is just to much.
Hey Michael, great video, but I have a request for you: Could you do a video about Capture One Pro 11 for a total beginner, first time ever using any editing like me? I'm having a Hard time with this thing. I'm a self-taught kind of guy, so I taught I could do this on my own, but I Need Help with this, to understand how it works, what tools do what, etc.. One more thing, when I open an image, it has a green paint in some areas, I think it's highlights, but not sure and can't get rid of it, so annoying. Do you know what it can be? I'm having trouble to open an image as well, it sounds silly, but it's true.
Im a Newbie have 10 how do I get my fimstipe viewer at the bottom and not at the side - and where do I set the color space Prefs - my images are very 'warm' compared to LR (I'm shooting Adobe RGB).
great tutorial except missed one thing in particular- how to move the picture catalog viewer from the bottom to the right. I can't seem to find anywhere that explains it. was hoping yours would but you had only shown it as a preset without describing how it was moved. For some reason can't find how that's done.
Capture one???? Catalogues sessions??? So you create a catalogue for one shoot? But you can do the same using sessions?? This is so clunky to me! I have downloaded a trial three times now and I have deleted it 3 times so that's done it for me I find it very frustrating to use
is there not a way to import images without it essentially duplicating the raws, i dont have unlimited storage and its really annoying how capture-1 makes copies of my images from the hard-drive to put in 'my pictures' folder.
I hate when Ive followed along until 14:21, and he has an option to select tethered or Untethered and I don't have an option on my new session box for tethered or untethered &%!&^ Frustration overload.
Well probably great for a Lightroom user but this is my first serious editor and TBH it didn’t help. If only Apple would put layers and a graduation facility into Photos app I wouldn’t have to bother with this complex stuff.
Although outdated, I found this useful as a newbie to Capture One. Ironically, at the beginning he says to not compare Capture One to Lightroom yet he does that continually in the rest of the video. Lol
ASuperGav AsuperGav I’m trying to make it relatable to people coming off Lightroom since that’s what most people would have been using.

Suggestion: Since the software (which I own and pay monthly and hardly use) is too complicated... Just show us your process from import to edit to export to saving. Forget showing features AND workflow. It's too much!
I have thousands of photographs, all stored on hard drives and catalogued by dates. Do I have to import every single one into capture one to open view or edit ? Thus meaning I have two copies of everything on my ever increasing numbers of hard drives. Think I'll stick with Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw, I can navigate to any picture I want and open it... Don't want to start creating hundreds of new catalogues, sessions etc ! seems ridiculous having to re do all my years of hard work... No Thnx, I'll pass !
I think it's confusing because he's overly-explaining. A lot of people don't care about all the go here and there for catalogs, click for PSD and click here ad there and here, here, here and click ok to open in PSD and all of that. I learned pretty much the basics of using. It's actually not bad once you get used to it. I don't worry about all that other stuff. I just tether in to get my shots together after creating a session which is sufficient enough, take my shots and review every so often. Look at the shots and determine what I like or don't. Then I edit the suckers that are good, export them and be done.
Oh my god, how confusing. It's that Photoshop netherworld by a different name. I'll stick to Lightroom for now - until someone invents a photo editing and file management system for real people, as opposed to geeks.
Maddening. I got 14 minutes into it and was so frustrated I turned the computer off. If you're going to be in the technical training business, get some education about how to train, please!
You are not a real photographer if you have to use software to correct mistakes. Anyone good using a computer can correct images for many claimed professional photographers. You think I am wrong? Go to Picture People & JC Penney, many of the employees are making less than $16.00/hr can sell just by shooting JPEG and using the basic computer skills. Again, if you need to use software then it's best to take a class on basic photography.
***** They are not even close being an amateur photographers. Many do not even own a camera nor know how to use a camera or light set-ups. Less than $16.50/hr shooting to & making money for Lifetouch or for Picture People.
angelisone I think you totally miss the point of editing software. Even before editing software was around, 'real' photographers would do essentially the same thing in the dark room. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing ..
joe o sullivan Even many photographers DO NOT have a studios /or home's darkroom. They go to have the film developed & printed. Only some semi-pros just afford to do basic black & white. Very few like I and my staff can do color. Again, you don't need to use a camera, just know how to cheat & edit images that claimed photographers can't get them right. Without editing software, many shooters are lost.
angelisone I agree that 'Without editing software, many shooters are lost.' That's because it's essential. Raw files are designed to be edited. otherwise everyone would be shooting in jpeg. It's not just about correct mistakes.. You may need to remove dust spots, bring back detail lost in shadows, air brushing, combine multiple exposures for a higher dynamic range... etc.. etc..etc..
joe o sullivan That's because shooters do not know how to get it right the first time around. If you can't sell $500.00 for and 8 X10, then JPEG is fine. Beside many cheap/budget clients have no ideal if you shoot it in RAW or JPEG, if you only show them one photo. Are starting price is $500.00 for editing one image from photographers. This is exclusive for only one print no larger than 20 X 24. And we take a percentage, if it goes to front magazine /or inside mag. So my staff doesn't have to hold cameras and bread & butter come to me. He or she who knows how to cheat (using software) wins. Do we agree on that statement. Not many can afford ATG/Hasselblad HD/Leica S, Phase One XF & Canon EOS-1D C. We have them because we are on a freelists. Many pros have to buy, so they are really consumers.
The photo at the end of the video is simply stunning.
4min and I have already learnt more than from 10 official capture one webinars... Thank you!
Great overview. I've been using Capture One Pro for several years, and it's interesting to see other users' workflows. Your audio quality in this presentation is excellent.
Hey Michael, thanks for this great video, I have just moved over to CO and this by far the best intro to CO I have seen.
Finally bit the bullet! This helped tremendously because my main challenge was working with the organizing side of this software. This cleared it up!
I switched to capture one 2-3 months ago, and really loving it. Especially the skin-tone smoothening. it is kinda of like frequency separation and color correction of skin tones. amazing control. also the capture one tethered session with the capture one pilot app for Ipad is amazing if you were to have a client onsite during a shoot that is verifying the shots in realtime.
Excellent, clear, to the point.
Well done.
Thanks Michael for making the effort and explaining all I needed to know in 30 min time.
Great and superb tutorial, Michael. Really helpful.
thank you so much dear Michael you always helped me to improve myself . like you Sir
Thank you so much I'm trying to understand C1 and you been a great help please do more when you have time. Great help for me.
Thanks for the video! Just a small remark: The catalog is not a single file but a folder that is masked by the Mac os file system as a package. It appears as a single file but is a folder indeed. You can display its contents in the finder by right click -> "Display package content" and e.g. extract the raws.
Thanks for this! Super helpful. I recently came back to Capture One and really loving it.
Great video, concise, informative and light years ahead of the Capture One "Getting Started Video" I agree with Stefan Simonsen 100%! Count me in as a subscriber,
Awesome tutorial! Very helpful as I have just started using Capture one. I would love to see more tutorials on Capture one. Keep up the good work :)
Second that. I am really happy I made the switch for several reasons: image quality being first and most important, but also: no lag when going through catalogue. That was one thing that was really annoying me in Lr. And that was with every single job having its own catalogue in Lr. It seems that Lr has a bit more user-friendly interface, but it's most likely because of just being used to it for years.
Simply: WOW!
Terrific introductory video! I may want to switch... Thanks for creating the video and sharing it.
This is the best Capture one tutorial video on youtube. However, I have the latest version and I don't have a drop down box to select photoshop for output. Do you know how that is done with the latest version of Capture One?
Yup, am one of those who downloaded, opened it once and closed it there after never to look at again... hopefully this will give me some headway.
Thank you for this! I feel more confident to start using it now and make the switch from Lightroom!
Thank-you just got the app today and this is helping a lot.
Really good video it's helpful especially to those shoot phase one capture one.
Again thank you
Victor Ngaling
Thank you Michael, excellent presentation very impressed, going to download now.

That was very good. Thank you! and the pic at the end looks great. Do you have a tutorial about the editing process you did on it?
Excellent tutorial, thank you.

Hi, good tutorial. thank you. Questions: Can I use Nik Collection with Capture One, and can I export to Photoshop from Capture One and bring back to keep on editing, the same one it can be done with LR.?
When creating a session, if your doing multiple students, can you create a session for each student?
Thanks for all your tutorials, they are great.
Small question for all, though.
Some it seems like all my capture one controllers are blocked, meaning I cannot do any kind of adjustments.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on?!
Hey Michael, can you share with us how to use Colorchecker Passport with C1. Couldn't find any info out there :-(
Nice introduction. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for it.
I'm using 9 express. Is it possible to move the catalog folder location from C: to another drive? I do not import the images to the catalog but I still want to use a different drive for the catalog though.
Very helpful. Thanks!

Daryl Orillaza Beautiful! Thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Great informative video, thanks
Very nice tutorial, than you
Don't use PSD files, you can use TIFF instead and then won't have any issues with PSD support in Capture One or any other software for that matter.
Capture one???? Catalogues sessions??? So you create a catalogue for one shoot? But you can do the same using sessions?? This is so clunky to me! I have downloaded a trial three times now and I have deleted it 3 times so that's done it for me I find it very frustrating to use
Is there a world outside of Adobe subscriptions?!? Looks like you have 4 Adobe updates waiting, Mike.
this video is soo good... thx alot michael... would love to see an update with the version 8
Thank You...
I dont see tethered in my end when creating a new session
is there not a way to import images without it essentially duplicating the raws, i dont have unlimited storage and its really annoying how capture-1 makes copies of my images from the hard-drive to put in 'my pictures' folder.

Jim Hudek I don’t even know what tethered means.
is it also available on windows?
I have downloaded capture one 10. In creating a session folder there is not a selection for type: "untethered" or "tethered" ?????
Are you going to be using your camera and C1 live shooting? Use tethered, are you making a session for editing? ... Use non--tethered.
do you have some raw files i can use?
thanks.
Well probably great for a Lightroom user but this is my first serious editor and TBH it didn’t help. If only Apple would put layers and a graduation facility into Photos app I wouldn’t have to bother with this complex stuff.
I don't understand how you do this stuff. I can't do anything on computers, only my hands. Computers are too frustrating -.-'

You have to learn how the Software works, not more, not impression
