Excellent tutorial

A really top top video.

i hope i learned this earlier, very useful tutorial & tips, thanks for sharing, appreciate that

Thank you. I already so this in Photoshop. Cant justify buying capture One as well

Thanks a 1,000,000!

I have watched tons of "tutorials" and can watched only few minutes. Only your series are the best that I could watch from the beginning to the end and became self-confident because I fully understand how Capture One works. Thank you very much!

Best tutorial I've seen. Thanks.

Thank you so much Ted for this very informative tutorial! God bless you!

I appreciate you doing this series. I bought Capture One some time ago and have watched a number of their videos, but I find I grasp the concepts better from your videos. Kudos! I'm looking forward to more good tutorials in the future.

Thank you. This was a very good summary of color adjustments and masking for skin tone.

I just got Capture One because of you, and it works wonderfully, thanks. I recently photographed my wife's Choir performance in an old church here in Cologne (we have many of those). It was dark, and I had to be far away, but with the S1R set to jpeg+raw, and a Sigma prime 35 wide open, all the jpegs came out with the Choir as dark and the walls to bright. Went into capture one20 pro, raised the shadows, reduced the highlights and WOW, it was like shot with a flash. Now I have to go back and rewatch some of your previous tutorials to see what else it can do.

Thank you for the great suggestions!!!

This was so helpful!

Fantastic video. I really appreciate, thanks.

Just bought capture one for fujifilm (used/still use Lightroom) and feel I have a ton to learn! So this was great!👍😊

Thanks! Really helpfull!

❤️ your Capture One videos Thanks

Thank you so much!!! Creating mask from selection is just wow! glad to learn this from you

Thanks for another great C1 video. These are so helpful. I just upgraded to 20 from 12 based on these color tool changes and here you are explaining how to use them. :-)

thank you for all the capture one tutorials, they are great! it only took me a couple of days to get comfortable with this software and I love it!

Fantastic! Well done!

Thanks so much for putting these C1 videos together. It has really helped me to progress in the software. You do a great job explaining things and keeping it short and precise.

Thank you for this video. You opened my eyes. I thought learning Capture One was gonna drive me crazy but this video clears up quite a few things for me.

Wow... color me impressed. Will definitely be switching to capture one.

Great tutorial

Good video. Thanks. In your example, if you overdid the skin edit, since it's in a mask, an option might be to simply reduce opacity.

Fantastic video would love more of these

Excellent video!

Honestly, this information is so invaluable. It was exactly what I needed as I was trying to only work with skintone, but it was affecting hair, jacket, stones, everything which was of similar colour. Cannot thank you enough mate, greetings from the UK!

Great tutorial. I am Lightroom guy but I am really interested to invest some extra time and learn Capture One. You just saved my time a lot. Keep with a good job. All the best 👍

Very nice, thinking about getting Capture One, this just up'd the odds.

Great video - thanks. Another way to select a color range and restrict the selection - as in the skin tone example in this video: Create an empty layer, then draw a mask over just the area you want to target for skin-tone correction. Use full opacity and flow for the mask. Often it can be done quickly and doesn't have to be precise. It just has to cover the target area fully with some small amount of overlap. Then, with the new layer still selected, go to the advanced color editor and click with the eyedropper within the just-masked area. Afterward any changes you make within that layer via the color editor will be applied only within the masked area. It's like making a selection inside a larger selection. It will probably require doing some erasing of the mask, but not as much. This approach has been very useful for me in some situations. One "gotcha": when you do the color selecting this way, the "view selected color range" control doesn't seem to work properly.

Great Tutorial!✌

Excellent video! Really liked your explanation and use of the skin tones.

I haven't upgraded to C1 20 yet, hopefully this will work(even partially) with the old one too

Nice tutorial!

Been working with Capture One for some time now and had no idea you can create a mask on the Skin Tones tab, very good video!!

By far best Photography channel... Real know how.... 👏👏👏👏

I've done all the things you did and only my midel's face, neck and hands are masked and I clicked on the dropper and selected her skin again but it is still editing the other close colours. How to stop this someone!!!!!

I recall watching your rules of odds and white balance videos years a go...time flies. Your tutorials helped me greatly back then and now in 2020 you provided me with another informative and no-fluff tutorial. Thanks for the walkthrough, exactly what I was looking for! It's difficult to find a direct nonsense learning experience these days and I just want you to know your teaching style is spot on and much appreciated!! Thank you for getting to the point without the blah-blah-blah. Subscribed!

Why is it that NLE’s have the vector scope to correct skin accurately and image editors don’t and expect you to rely on your eyes . Any ideas ?

So much thanks, I bought capture one, but my pickup and some of the tools are not active, please what do I do?

Great tutorial, I'm thinking of moving over from adobe to CO but I will miss liquify In Photoshop. I guess dodge and burn will work great In CO?

CO is more of an alternative to Lightroom than Photoshop. It's useful for developing RAW files, by themselves or in batches, and it has some file management features. For extensive in-depth retouching you'd still need PS or a comparable software like Affinity Photo

Thanks Ted for providing this video and all of your materials relating to Capture One. I have been considering moving from LR Classic but I haven't been able to determine if C1 has the functionality to be used on an iPad Pro that is not being used in a 'tethered' shooting scenario. I have looked at Capture Pilot, but this doesn't appear to allow off-line viewing and synchronization like the LR CC. Are you aware of any work-around? Thanks, Keith

Hi. I have over 200k photos and Capture cannot cope with this size of library. Have you had this issue

What I've learned from this series (besides the obvious) - A little goes a long way.

Great video. I am still dithering over upgrading to the 2020 version, and I like your demonstration of the updated advanced colour editor. Not a newbie, I have been using Capture One Pro since 2004 - before Lightroom even existed - and it is still the best ever. Thanks, but where are your promised Artist series? It is still what you do best. There are vast numbers of gear, software and 'how to' videos on KZread, but no one does Artist series as well as you. Cheers, Bruce from stinking hot South Africa.

pls help me, my client wants style presets i have created winsows presets client uses macbook, windows made presets will support mac?

I dont know if I missed it, but did you ever use the Normalize tool to help with making sure colors match more from image to image

C1 is a great program. I wish it did HDR, panos, and composites. If they come out with those it's goodby Adobe. * Can I change mode to 16 bit rather than 8 bit, or do I need to run the image through Ps. first? I print from 16 bit tif files.

Nice intro to colour controls Would be nice to have a curve control on the colour softness 🤔

I dont use program but i can only give a big thumbs up to anything thats not adobe!

Darn it Ted! I guess I really do have to upgrade to 20 🥺

LR six is pretty good. I now much prefer Capture One. I’ll pay the 150$ upgrade fee for the new version because I do see feature and changes I really like. That’s what is floating my boat at the moment.

A possible point of confusion I ran across with Capture One 20 (the Windows version, at least): If you've made changes via only the basic color editor, clicking the View Selected Color Range checkbox in the _advanced_ color editor will not give you a correct idea of the selected colors. It's an easy mistake to make - you're thinking that’s where you find the View Selected Color Range control. Turns out, the basic color editor has its own "view selected range" control that _does_ show the selection correctly. To see the control you have to click the "..." menu to the immediate right of the basic editor's color swatches.

For the color matching you should really use the normalize tool (first).

If you know of a tutorial on how to use it, that would be good to have. I've used Capture One for quite a while but I am still perplexed by how to get that tool to work the way I want it to work.

@alexanderflemming

The normalize tool will change exposure and/or white balance, so if that's what you're going for, it's great. If you need actual color edits, it's not the tool you want to use.

@mikearst2940

I want to match colors in specific situations, so no - it doesn't sound like the right tool. As in: a split-toning routine in which I match a very particular selenium-toner-like hue (based on what I used to do in the darkroom; existing Capture One presets aren't the right hues). This would be easier if there were a color-selection "mixing" patch for split toning, after the fashion of Exposure X5. But that kind of UI probably isn't in the cards for Capture One. Eventually perhaps I'll get the right color mix via the advanced color balance tool and it can be saved as a preset. Or better - as layers created with luminance masking, since it isn't a "linear" sort of look I'm after. Finding that exact color is the tricky part.

Edited for clarity, didn´t express myself clearly.

I always wish we have something similar to advanced color editor in Lightroom.

Great software,now all they need todo is add a mobile version for IOS.

The new ownership of Phase One, Axcel, is a traditional investment company with no specific interest in photography. The company owns a great number of different branches, and as everybody knows the typical interest of an investment company is - profit. So what are the implications for the future development strategy and its resources within Capture One. Not that Capture One has been a shooting star at any point in time. We have been dependent of a rather slow development with annoying shortcomings that have taken for ever to be corrected. The fact that very few features have been added since CO 12 combined with the new ownership worries me, when at the same time the current marketing campaign seems to include more and more photographers from the KZread dependent part of the community. Such a campaign must be expensive, and I would rather listen to less cheering with constant repetitions of the same features and have more development - and for strategic reasons with focus on what Capture One is - a raw converter with a fair market price - not a more expensive product offering bad replacements for certain Photoshop like features that suffers from structural limitations. Most photographers will need to make their final pixel-based adjustments in Photoshop anyway using f.ex. the much more sophisticated layer concept, smart objects, etc. At the same time Adobe Camera Raw raw converter is an equally good and integrated part of Photoshop and Bridge offering a tons of features that Capture One will never even come close to - not the way the resources are spend right now. Axcel has owned at least fifty companies before Phase One which have been resold when the hyping and exploitation had provided the calculated profit. Why has such a dependency even become necessary?

I would probably love Capture One, but I think it is beyond my tech skills. I am using Lightroom now.

The transition isn't that difficult if you spend some time. I used to use LR since version 2. When Adobe decided to change to the subscription model I jumped over to C1. The first thing you will notice is the better performance of the software on older hardware. Much better than LR. I am also convinced that the post processing results from C1 are better.

@martintolley9234

It looks scary at the outset, and there are a whole heap of customisations - so things like levels adjustments can be found in more than one place. But you can make up your own custom menus - much easier that LR when you get it sorted. Without doubt the control over colour is way better than in LR. Some things in C1 are rubbish - straightening and keystoning, just never work quite right for me. With LR I could never get the hang of importing, my blind spot with C1 is exporting - gosh knows where some things end up. Maybe a tutorial on that one Mr Forbes?

The information is good but why do you have speak so fast that it becomes a gabble? It's not a race, why not speak slower so that people have time to absorb what you are saying before you have rushed to the next point. Viewers will remember more if they are not concentrating on trying to keep up with you. Please bear in mind you are speaking to a world wide audience, many of whom are using English as their second language. You are giving useful information, slow the speaking down so we can take on board what you have to say.
