A quick update: normally the presets are applied not at the ICC level of Capture One Pro, but on the "Styles" tab. There was a little bug in how I installed the presets is all. Just wanted to clarify and thanks for checking out the video!
@@torreymerritt I was curious about that too, but also find it contradicting to their instruction here, I m so confuse now if I m planning to use some film emulation from cobalt image. Do I need to buy the dng basic pack and apply them at icc profile first then apply these preset? Could you help us? ” I am a Capture One user and I love Fuji colour signatures. My camera is a Sony X, what should I buy to get those colours on my camera?” When using Capture One software, the process is streamlined, eliminating the need for a basic profile to enable our emulations. Instead, you can seamlessly integrate our Fuji digital emulation pack for Capture One. During the checkout, specify your camera model. In response, we’ll tailor the pack to your specific camera model and emulation combination within two working days. An email will be sent containing .ICC files for installation and .costyles for importing. Once set up, you can effortlessly immerse yourself in the Fuji colours on your Sony raw files by simply selecting the appropriate style from the menu. Experience a swift and tailored transition to vibrant Fuji aesthetics.
@@ekphotography actually, I just purchase and here is what I found out. When you apply the icc profile it give out a color reproduction of the film pack you purchase, when you install the preset to capture one and it will applies like grain, push, curve etc to make it similar to the final film look. If you just want a clean look, you can just ignore the preset or make it as a mask and adjust the level. For Lightroom, there is tools to make it similar to the film processing technique but honestly I have a best results with capture one when everything already baked in and you only have to do a few twist.
@@dnguyen536 hey mate are you able to add the styles to layers in capture one? I have tried several times but they are greyed out for me. I'd like to try adjusting opacity of the effects if possible.
Hey Torrey! Very interesting video. I think it's very wise to be more versatile in the regard of hybrid photography. Would love to see a deep dive video where you edit a few pictures and share some difficulties.
Very informative, thank you! Would love to see a deep-dive into some examples, on how you take a RAW, apply these profiles, and the adjustments you make after that! Also, have you tried Really Nice Images (RNI) presets/profiles? I am curious to see if you have tried those, and how they compare to Cobalt.
I love the idea of their approach. Their website is really challenging, and their presets require the base pacakge + whatever film emulation stock. I wouldn't mind, but a bit expensive. Might still have to check it out. Maybe they'll have a sale?
Hey man I’d give them an email if you have any spare time just lending your thoughts on their website, etc. I get the feeling they are great at the technical and nerdy stuff but maybe not super great at web design or marketing. I definitely agree though, they could use a website refresh!
So glad you like this video man! So since I uploaded this one I’ve actually switched over to shooting Fuji, I don’t currently have any of the Cobalt profiles for my Fuji or else I’d love to make a follow up video! Feel free to reach out anytime over on instagram if you have specific questions
@@torreymerritt Small world indeed. Life is pretty good. Down in the Vancouver area now. Still teaching and doing photography on the side, which is how I ran across your channel. Very cool that you are doing it professionally 📸
Sure! The light is a flashpoint 600w but you could use a much less powerful light if needed. No modifier on that image but a few I took that same evening that didn’t make it into the video used a simple 50 ish inch umbrella
@@torreymerritt that would be the XPLOR600 or the ad600? also do you know any videos that could help teach the placements for a flash? I would love to start up using it but too scared to try as i am very beginner when its come to flash
I've felt the same way looking at some other photographers who shoot on the riii haha - I think a lot of it comes down to it being more controlled lighting environments or even overcast skies making skin tones a bit more manageable but thank you. I'm a bit hot and cold on Sony for photo sometimes - certain days I like the image and certain days I'm not a fan but overall you can't say it's not a a great camera. There's a TH-camr Cam Mackey that shoots incredible work on Sony and he makes the argument that it's never the camera but the person using it which I think has some truth. I still prefer Fuji colors though lol
Really digging these baseline edits with Cobalt. I'm shooting in-house for a brand and we shoot a lot of location based lifestyle model photography (Hi from PDX!). This would def take the edits to another level without going too far. BTW, cool to see your shots with Janiah! We've worked with her a few times.
Wow small world hey from up north a bit! That's amazing, I think that's a perfect use case for the presets and I totally agree that they help with that baseline look! Janiah is great, very cool you've worked with her as well!
when shooting what do you set your white balance to? auto? or more specific kalvin values? or things like "daylight" "shadow" "flourescent"? this is huge. bless you ole stud.
Great questions man so with Sony I typically try to keep my white balance at least at daylight (5600 Kelvin) or often times warmer to help with skin tones, so very commonly something like 6000 or 6200 kelvin. I stay away from auto white balance most of the time.
Thank you captain! Super awesome work my dood. I will experiment, just moved to Capture One and I appreciate these vids! love the minimal changes to colors, tones, that you've shown here. science is rad. and so are you. digital cameras need work i agree ha. @@torreymerritt
I can’t find the actual Portra presets on Lightroom after I import them. I’m only seeing the adjustments presets. Any reason why I’m experiencing this?
Hi Torrey, great video with superb example images 🙌😊. Which cobalt pack are you using? Could you provide us with a link to cobalt? … and please show us more of your editing work with cobalt 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you liked the video and the examples! Here is a link to the pack I reviewed: www.cobalt-image.com/product/cobalt-elite-portra/ I've since switched to Fujifilm but I have Cobalt Image's profiles for my Fuji camera, and want to mention it in an upcoming video!
You know what I've never actually used Mastin Labs but I'd love to compare them sometime! I should see if Mastin might want to do a review video, no idea if they would but possibly worth a try!
When I switched over to Capture One a few years ago, it was clearly the better software at that point in my opinion but that gap has closed a bit in recent years! I really don't think you can go wrong with either, but maybe sometime I can make a comparison video!
That's very kind of you! I do think it could be possible for them to get some fresh images on their website! We all need that every once and a while I know I'm constantly working to update my portfolio haha

I was wondering that when I started watching your video. I was like why is he using ICC profiles and Not the presets... Glad you mentioned it..
Precisely, good job catching that detail and glad you could notice my pinned comment!

This is dope video bro imma have to check this out

@@torreymerritt Just took a look at their website. It definitely needs a refresh and clearer explanations!
I love this video. Can you show how you edit your images using the cobalt profiles and capture one? Thank you.

Just a quick question...are you from ATown? I taught a Torrey Merritt awhile ago.
Wow small world! Yes that's me, currently in Seattle so not all that far away these days. Hope life is treating you well

May I know what flash you have used at @ 7:30 and what softbox?
Sure! The light is a flashpoint 600w but you could use a much less powerful light if needed. No modifier on that image but a few I took that same evening that didn’t make it into the video used a simple 50 ish inch umbrella

@@1Soul1337 I believe it was the XPLOR600!
Are you specifically wanting to try flash outdoors or more in the studio?
@@torreymerritt outdoors! I love the look you created I would love to shoot products, Cars, Portraits
Your baseline generic photos for the riii look really good lol I don’t remember getting nice sooc pics like yours.

Hello, você edita suas fotos no davince resolve??
I can't see the ICC's after install.
Have you contacted their customer support? Sorry that you’re having trouble!
I can’t find the actual Portra presets on Lightroom after I import them. I’m only seeing the adjustments presets. Any reason why I’m experiencing this?

How do you feel these compare to Mastin Labs?
You know what I've never actually used Mastin Labs but I'd love to compare them sometime! I should see if Mastin might want to do a review video, no idea if they would but possibly worth a try!
Great video
Thank you!
What Emulation pack is your favourite? Do you like the Kodak pack best?
I do prefer the Kodak pack to all the other packs I've tried!
@@torreymerritt thanks for the info :)
Why do you prefer capture one over lightroom? love your videos
When I switched over to Capture One a few years ago, it was clearly the better software at that point in my opinion but that gap has closed a bit in recent years! I really don't think you can go wrong with either, but maybe sometime I can make a comparison video!
Honestly your pictures need to be on their preset page. MUCH better than their examples which is why they are under the radar.
That's very kind of you! I do think it could be possible for them to get some fresh images on their website! We all need that every once and a while I know I'm constantly working to update my portfolio haha
