Read more on tethered photography hereĬapture One 7 has a number of feature rich adjustment tools to give you the creative look you desire. This is especially useful in Portrait and high volume product photography. To check focus in general, use the fixed focus window to keep an eye on sharpness. The mask shows on the Viewer and Thumbnails indicating the sharpest areas of the image. If you are used to focus peaking on video cameras then the result is similar. Other professional tools include the Focus Mask, which reduces time on initial edits. If you don’t have access to an Apple product you can also use any web enabled device, but with slighty less functionality. Capture Pilot is our iOS application that allows you to view and rate images, plus remote control your camera from your Apple iDevice.This could be a layout to ensure you are fitting within the requirements of the shoot, for example a magazine cover. The Overlay function allows you to impose another image on top of the Viewer window.
This aids composition and really ensures the focus point is exactly where you want it. Additionally you can adjust the focus of the lens electronically with three degrees of coarseness. The quality is extremely high with a fast frame rate. If your discipline is capturing still life and advertising shots, then being able to compose with Live View is a real time saver. Simply connect your DSLR and start capturing. Capture One 7 has a number of tethering features that make it an obvious choice. If you prefer a natural film grain look then you can add this in the Noise Reduction Advanced Tool (Capture One Pro only).Ī lot of our customers only use Capture One for tethering – i.e. We also try to remove as much noise as possible and not just ‘shape’ the noise.
If you prefer a different look you can adjust accordingly. Even though the settings in the Noise Reduction Tool are set to 50 and 50 for all cameras, the ‘under-the-hood’ reduction differs for each camera and ISO setting.Īt the respective settings of 50, we have made the best compromise between preserving detail and reducing noise. Each camera supported has had a specific ICC profile built for it and is also carefully tested to determine the best noise reduction parameters for the full range of ISO settings. Especially when it comes to skin tones and saturated colors and highlight transitions.Ĭurrently Capture One supports over 300 different camera models. The question of “Good Color” can often be subjective, but we believe that enough of our customers are convinced to be able to state this confidently. To stay ahead of the competition the processing engine was completely revised and still delivers what our customers need: Ultimate image quality out-of-the-box. Even before version 7 was released, customers chose to use Capture One, as they knew it would deliver the best image quality from their RAW files. You may have read in earlier blog posts about the new conversion engine in Capture One 7.
I was inspired to write this post by Doug Peterson from one of our US Partners,ĭigital Transitions, as he had posted something similar on a photographic forum. Since the introduction of version 7, Capture One has taken a quantum leap in this aspect and even more features have been added allowing you to achieve even better results from you RAW files.Ĭapture One 7 also offer a wealth of professional tools to enable you to capture tethered, use Live View as you are used to on your DSLR, all in a completely customizable interface. Capture One 7 can deliver great out-of-the-box results in terms of pleasing natural looking colours, fine detail and low noise. Traditionally, our customers have chosen to use Capture One due to the quality of RAW conversion.
In this blog post I will give you the major reasons. I’m often asked at events why a customer should choose Capture One as their application of choice for working with their images.
