Each camera is tested and fine tuned extensively by our image quality team to create a customized profile that brings out the very best in your camera. Capture One Pro can be used with more than 500 different camera models.

NOISE REDUCTION

By default color noise and luminance noise will be removed from any image no matter what ISO it has been shot at. As removing noise is always a compromise between removing noise and keeping as mush valuable information in the image as possible you will have full control of how to set this compromise to fit your preferred taste.

Luminance and color noise can be removed from images with two easy-to-use sliders. There is also a Noise Reduction Advanced slider with two further adjustments. The ‘Details’ slider gives the best compromise between details and noise. A low value gives smooth surfaces maintaining most edges. A larger value gives more details, but possible grain in higher ISO images. E.g. car paint can be made to appear smooth while preserving the edge sharpness in the rest of the image.

CLARITY

The Clarity Tool can improve hazy images by adjusting local contrast. The tool now allows negative clarity values, which helps smooth out local contrast in portrait images.

The new improved Clarity tool gives users a choice of controls: 'Punch' or 'Neutral'. In principle, using a positive value with the Neutral Clarity slider preserves color, increases contrast and reduces haze. A positive value from the Punch Clarity slider increases contrast, reduces haze and boosts color saturation, which gives an image more ‘Punch’

LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS WITH NEW HEALING AND CLONE LAYERS

Use the improved local adjustments like gradient mask, fill mask and more, to fine-tune the details in targeted areas of your images. Non-destructive local adjustments let you edit selective parts of an image for unlimited creative control and results. Handle the most common retouch jobs with a few strokes and control colors, exposure, contrast, brightness, saturation, sharpening and moiré in targeted areas of your image.

The newly added Healing and Clone layers allow you to do even more of the image manipulation on the RAW images, saving the need to do them in Photoshop afterwards.

IMPROVED LCC WORKFLOW

Handling LCC profiles is easier as there is now a specific LCC tool. You can create LCC profiles for more images at once, and apply them to several images at a time. Images used for LCC profiles are now marked with an LCC tag.

The tool now delivers a more efficient workflow, making and it easier to recognize your LCC images as they are now conveniently tagged. Your entire workflow just got more efficient by removing any unnecessary steps in the process. It is almost like having the perfect assistant for professionals! The process for producing lCC images has now been simplified, especially for multiple images in a batch which require an LCC correction.

Capture One Pro 9 forms the backbone of my images, especially when it comes to creating fine art images. The workflow presented below will give you an understanding of why I prefer this RAW converter compared to the rest. Let us start from the very bottom.

Step 1: Creating Sessions & Importing image

No matter which image I am about to work on, my first step is to create a new session on Capture One Pro. The reason why, is that it creates a new folder with the files I am about to work on. Hence, I do not have to worry about file misplacements and have them offline in case I misplaced them, which is usually the case with Lightroom’s Catalog sessions.

So, I set the path to where I want Capture One Pro to create the session. Once you click ‘OK’, it opens a new interface with a blank canvas. From here, you can import the images that you would like to work on.

Once this is done, your images will be ready to be fine-tuned:

Step 2: Setting Global Adjustments

We will primarily be working on two images in this example: One normally exposed image and one underexposed image. By doing so, we can blend them later when we take them into Photoshop.

The first thing I do is to make Global Adjustments so I can set the right mood and feeling. Since we are working in RAW format, this is the best time to capitalise on this aspect. Whatever adjustments we make on one image, we will duplicate those on the other image to maintain consistency.

We start by making Global Adjustments in the colour panel of Capture One Pro. Here, we make changes to the 3-way colour panel tool, as pictured below.

In this image we make adjustments to the midtone slider and bring down the luminosity to add a mood. Then we adjust the colour slider of the midtones and shift it towards the yellow/orangish range, since we are shooting in the desert. That way it add a bit more warmth to the image.

The next step is to adjust the colour wheel of the shadows. We will bring down the lightness slider first to darken the shadows a bit. Thereafter, we shift the colour wheel to Blue and bring up the saturation slider. By doing so, we limit the colour spill of the sand to the bright portions of the image only, in this case the highlights.

Now we come to the Highlight colour wheel. Here we will mimic the colour wheel of the midtones in order to add more warmth to the highlights. Below is an example of how the final colour balance wheels look like.

So, just by using the colour balance tool alone we have created quite a mood in the image. Below is a quick example of a before and after, which is shown by holding down the ‘alt’ key on my mac and left-clicking on the circular arrow above the colour wheel:

The next move is to go to our Exposure tab and make some Global Adjustments.

In this case, I make minor adjustments by bringing down the exposure slider to -0.2 and the brightness slider up by +2. Then I open my shadows just a bit by bringing up the slider to 6. The reason I do so is to make sure not to kill any information in the image before exporting it. I want all the information available to play with later as well.

Usually, I adjust the clarity slider as well but I will not do so in the exposure tab. You will find out why soon. Another beauty about Capture One Pro is that it takes care of the chromatic aberration and lens distortion by default, unlike Lightroom. That is visible under the lens correction tab.

Below are the final results after making the above adjustments.

Final result after Global Adjustments

Now, we duplicate these adjustments onto the underexposed image, so we can maintain consistency when we merge both images. We simply right-click on the selected image and choose ‘Copy Adjustments’:

After copying those adjustments, we select the next image and simply right-click on it and hit on ‘Paste adjustments’.

Now both images share the same adjustments that we made earlier.

Step 3: Local Adjustment Slider/Masking

This is the part where we will play with our clarity sliders in the local adjustments tab. The reason we do so is because we can choose which clarity option to apply on both the ground and the sky after masking them.

How to apply the clarity to the foreground? We simply do that by masking it.

First we select the Brush Tool from the console, which is placed just below the tab. Once you have selected the brush, take your mouse towards the image and right click it to make sure that Auto Mask is selected.

The Auto ask functionality will allow us to seamlessly mask the ground and not the sky. That is the beauty about using this brush tool. We gradually mask the ground by brushing through the horizon with a small brush all the way to the foreground. Please see image below as example:

When you apply the Brush Tool, it automatically creates a new layer in the panel which is highlighted on the upper left hand side. Now that we have fully selected our foreground with the brush tool, it’s time to make some custom adjustments to it.

First, we bring up the contrast slider almost half way. The beauty about the contrast slider in Capture One Pro is that it only affects the luminosity value of the pixels and not its colour unlike Lightroom’s contrast slider.

You can see from the image below how the contrast slider brings out a nice punch to the foreground.

The next step we take is to play with the clarity slider. A crucial advantage about Capture One Pro is that, unlike Lightroom, you can choose from up to four different clarity sliders, as shown in the image below. The algorithms used in all four are different and hence your mid tone contrasts vary from one clarity slider to another.

In this case, I prefer to use the Natural clarity slider since it does not kill/hurt the blacks unlike the clarity slider in Lightroom when pushed to the extremes. However, in this case, we will make subtle changes to the slider here, since we already added contrast to the sand.

The other reason for making the subtle changes is because I do not want to lose any information in this image that can be used later in Photoshop, when we will mask the sky layer and finalise the mood of the image.

Step 4: Masking the sky layer

The next step is now to mask the sky layer in the underexposed image:

Capture One Pro 8 1 1 – Raw Workflow Software

This is the part where we can capitalise on the clarity slider by moving it from Natural to Punch, as shown in the picture below. The reason for doing so is because Punch adds a bit more pop to the image and adds a bit of colour as well. Hence, this is the reason why I do not do any global adjustments to clarity.

As a final adjustment I bring up the saturation just a notch and bring up the temperature a bit too.

Step 5: Exporting the images

With the necessary adjustments made, we select both images by hitting Cmd/CTRL and left clicking the unselected image. In this step, we export the images from Capture One Pro, so we go to the recipe section for this:

As illustrated above, I export these images as 16-Bit TIFFs in prophoto RGB colour space. The reason for me to choose such a colour space is because, compared to sRGB and Adobe RGB, it has the widest colour gamut, hence you have more colour variations to play with.

The final result of my picture, including some further editing in Photoshop, ended up like this:
