Great video. Your explanations are really good.
This is an excellent video, I have been using Capture One for a few years but mainly convert to b/w in Silver Efex. Over the past few weeks I have been trying to do everything in Capture One - your video has given me some excellent tips for this. Thanks!
Glad I could help, Andy!
Thanks so much.
Great video! Merci beaucoup.
So informative, thanks.
TWO thumbs WAY up!!
Thank you very much!
I could watch your tutorials for hours. Great work! Can't wait for the next video.
More to come!
This is the best video ever! Thank you so much!
☺️ .. I doubt it is the best video ever, but thanks for the compliment. Glad it was helpful!
Nice, time to revisit some old photos. Thanks for the inspiration, John!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
This is an excellent tutorial! One of the best B&W Capture One instructional videos I’ve seen. I learned some more techniques to use in my beloved Capture One. Well done!
Thank you, James! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Great great video and very informative!!! Thank you for this tutorial....God bless brother!
Glad you liked it! God Bless you too!
Glad I stumbled on your channel today, learning Capture One is my plan for the Winter, this was very helpful, have a good day....
Thanks, Lewis!
Now that my client work is beginning to slow down a little, I’ll have more time to make some new/updated videos.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Not sure what I searched for to find this but what an excellent video. Your voice is soothing and there is no fluff, just great explanations. Subscribed.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. 👍
Excellent video, John. I'm a Fuji shooter and I've owned Capture One since version 9. However, I've never been comfortable with the software. I also love black and white. Your instruction is informative and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks Terry! So glad I could be of help. Feel free to make suggestions on the type of content you’d like me to create. Have a great day!
This is great!!!!
Thank you very much, I was considering photoshop since others recommend using photoshop to do the processing. But then your channel popped up! saving me some quids
You're very welcome!
Great video, I´m starting to print my pictures and love B&W... so found your tips and will use them, I was afraid to push the sliders too much... but I´m cured after your demonstration. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful and that I cured you of that fear. ; )
Great tutorial John!
Thank you!
I've just seen this tute from you John. Really liked the way you flow through your explanations. It was a great journey with u and some of yr family. Cheers
Thank you, Geoffrey!
Thank you for such an interesting video. Thank you for your time and efforts in increasing our knowledge. I love b/w photography and Capture One is my raw editor. I have never seen so many ways how to do b/w. in C1. Greetings from Bosnia.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. : )
When I was at grade school sister Laura, my Italian teacher, had the very same steel cross.
I hope that’s a good memory for you. 😉
It’s a St. Benedict crucifix… your standard crucifix with the St. Benedict medal embedded in it. Here’s a good write up about it: www.pildorasdefe.net/aprender/fe/cross-medal-st-benedict-meaning
Hallo John. great video and a great help for me. I use also CaptOne 20. and like black and white. stay healthy and greetings from Germany.
Danke!
Brilliant tuition,I have learned so much from this video.Thank you very much! Please do some more BW conversion videos in Capture One.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching, commenting, and for the suggestion!
Great video John thanks. Have you ever used Silver Efex pro for your b&w conversions? Is Capture one just as capable?
Thanks! I have used Silver Efex Pro and it used to be my go-to back when I was using Lightroom and Photoshop. I would say that since C1 is a dedicated raw conversion program, it is more capable. Mainly because of all the controls and you have layers and luminosity masking. With that said, you can easily round trip into SFX from C1 and your work will be saved back into your C1 catalog for further editing, archiving, and export.
Nice instruction
Very nice video John. I recently purchased C1 and shoot with fuji xt-3. I prefer to use film simulation Acros during shooting. A quick question about shooting Acros film simulation in Raw and post editing at Capture One: Shall I still click "Enable Black & White" under Color Tab, or this is not necessary since the original raw is in bnw? Many thanks
Thanks!! The original raw file isn’t actually in B&W, so you are free to choose a different film simulation when you bring that file into C1, stick with the Acros simulation and adjust it to taste using the standard editing options, or edit by he file using the “Enable Black and White” process I discussed in my video. 😉
Thanks - good video.
I did a lot of black and white darkroom work back in the Paleolithic, with one of my favorite papers being Agfa's warm-toned portrait paper, toned in selenium. Getting that effect with Capture One has been difficult, perhaps because its layers don't have blending mode options. That aside at least some of it can be done following b&w conversion using the advanced color balance tool, which will bring color back into the shadows, midtones, and highlights. The trick is picking exactly the right hue, not so easy as the program doesn't have color mixing "patches." I'll get the exact combination one of these days...
Thanks! I loved Agfa film and papers. One thing I neglected to show was how to do split-toning within C1. That is one good way to tone your image before going to print. You can adjust the opacity of the layers in C1. While not perfect, it does help.
I would much rather use the advanced color balance tool than the split-toning sliders, which are just too crude. Actually I would love it if Capture One would beef up its split-toning UI to come up to the level of, say, Exposure X5 or some of the other raw converters, which provide lots of split-toning options (including mixing "patches"). It can still be done in Capture One of course-the tools could be more robust, though.
Interesting. I’ve never used X5 before. Will have to give it a look. 👍
@@JohnMagnoski I had so-so-quality from it on exporting to JPEG, but that was with version X4. I haven't tried X5. Some of their black and white presets look pretty good. Incidentally, if you want to see some other killer b&w work, check out the oddly named "Soft White Underbelly" channel on TH-cam. Warning: The subject matter-interviews with down and out people-tends to be grim and gritty, sometimes _very_ grim. The interviewer is a professional photographer who includes one full-length portrait of his subjects in each video. Standout-quality b&w - he shoots with large-format film. It's a long time since I've seen an 8x10 film portrait!
@@JohnMagnoski One interesting thing about using Exposure's b&w presets: they are automatically placed onto a layer with two options for working with the layer: a color mode and a b&w mode. If you fade out the layer when in b&w mode, you get less and less of the selected preset and more and more of Exposure's _default_ b&w treatment for the image. If you fade out the layer when in color mode, then color begins coming slowly back into the image, providing an interesting faded-color look. This is something we can't do that way in Capture One of course-can't do b&w on layers yet (and I sure wish they'd work that one out).
Like from Germany ;)
I produced black & white photos in my wet darkroom from back in the 80'es. The rich tonality of the photographic paper of that time was something you don't forget. The key word is probably - transition.
Ever since, no matter which digital editing program I have used, I have had this feeling of just transforming colors into a "colored" black & white image without really reaching the interaction between black & white tones as I remembered it. Then I recently watched this video with Blake Rudis and Sean Bagshaw, th-cam.com/video/SbSh7A-zi78/w-d-xo.html, and that brought me somewhat closer to an explanation. You can watch from 11.25 for a minute or so to see the process in short regarding the black & white interaction. The video is about color theory and interesting from start to end.
Finally, I do not agree in Capture One's superiority in any of these aspects. Capture One's features are mostly old wine on new bottles.
Thanks for the comment and link! I’ll take a look at that video. The beauty is we are spoiled for choice these days. A set of tools may be great for some, but not so great for others. Have a great day!
@@JohnMagnoski You are welcome. Just meant as a supplement to be considered.
NINE?!?! How are you still alive?!
They keep us busy, but we love it. Thankfully having children is really good for your health, otherwise humanity wouldn’t be here anymore. 😉
@@JohnMagnoski I have the one and he keeps me busy enough, I can't even imagine nine lol. Glad it works for you though.
