And we can increase the contrast more by applying a somewhat aggressive Luma Curve to darken the shadows and mid-tones, and lighten the highlights slightly. I also increase the High Dynamic Range Highlight slider to 38 to reduce the highlights and increase contrast further.
The Luma curve works mainly on the luminosity or brightness of the image. We can also add a very subtle S curve to the RGB curve, to slightly darken the blue in the sky at the same time as adding more contrast. As we bring out contrast in the sky, the dust spots from the sensor start to become prominent, so we can use the dust removal tool to remove them. Now before blaming C1 here consider 2 things: 1 multiple factors can influence the speed of the system.
Moving to today, Capture One does way more complex calculations than Lightroom, so it puts more stress on the hardware. That awesome colour and detail rendering of C1 has a price to be paid by Hardware.
It always was a hardware hog, it never was the fastest, but always had this one of a kind output quality. Indeed, it was the speed of editing advantage which pulled me from Lightroom to C1. My Lightroom 4 on the same hardware was sluggish as hell.
You may check the settings on your machine. Maybe for some reason the hardware acceleration wasn’t turned on. C1 utilises the recourses of the grafic card a lot. I do not question that this is a useful update. However, C1 is in urgent need for further development in two areas: noise reduction and sharpening.
I agree. I have just been trying the latest version out on low light pictures from the disco at the reception at my daughter’s wedding last week.
The noise reduction is pathetic, even at highest levels. Lightroom, which is still not very good compared to the market leaders, is far better. DXO6 knocks it into a cocked hat. I find the cropping, rotating and keystone adjustments pretty clunky to work with. Still can’t get used to it after 2 years of exclusive use. Still waiting for HSL curves. It’s annoying that I can’t e. As with last year’s version most of the new stuff doesn’t seem great for a large upgrade cost, but the Smart Adjustments look interesting, if they work well I’s still like the noise reduction to be thrown away and replaced with something better, and the focus mask sped up so it’s actually usable when culling, which IMHO would be amazing and was one of the reasons I originally got C1P.
The lack of new good features for my use and workflow, and the on-going non competitive price jumps let me skip this years upgrade. It’s a bit of an improvement over last year, were the headline features were Pano and HDR tools that weren’t as good as stand-alone ones people seriously interested in those things probably already had I certainly did.
They do have a. I am not affiliated with them. Until it gets AI background quick masking like in lightroom, I will hold up on updating. I don’t want to pay for a yearly license but..
Personally, I don’t actually believe that there is any more “magic” in the magic brush as there is “intelligence” in artificial intelligence. They are both exactly the same thing, a more or less sophisticated algorithm, and both work more or less equally well. Still, if you want to be lured by marketing sirens, up to you. Lr masking is indeed pretty good. It’s just a pity that Lr pretty much forces any photo to look like bubblegum. What do you mean, David? My AI-powered toaster has just a simple timer to stop my bread from burning?
And I thought it used advanced military-grade sensors coupled with a custom AI chip that was trained on millions of toast bread samples in order to achieve the absolute perfect toast bread. Isn’t that why it’s bluetooth, wifi, alexa and assistant enabled? My toaster is still in training. It should be finished with sampling carbonised bread sometime next year I believe….
Or so it says in the FAQ. It is so fast before they decide to roll out a new version for money. That’s merely much for an upgrade. I’m disappointed that C1 does not support DxO dng files. I have to use an additional app to convert the files to tiff in order to import them into C1.
A lot of photographers are using DxO as their first -level photo processing as it is the best for clearing noise and de-mosaicing, and outputs the files as dng format. Converting these files to bit tiff for C1 adds an unwanted chunk of time to my workflow. Thanks for that. I just checked again and it works.
That’s a relief. It does. I “pre-process” raw though Dxo and do the final stage in C1. Works flawlessly. When I first got C1 I thought its perpetual license would be like Davinci Resolve’s perpetual license. Now I feel I should have just spent that money on Adobe’s subscription instead. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Resolve only has perpetual license if you bought their license dongle.
They discontinued it once they switched to the subscription model. You pay one time for Resolve Studio and get all updates forever.
The only subscription is for the cloud storage thing that, as far as I know is only relevant if you have a big studio with multiple people working on the same project at the same time. I sure hope so. Resolve is the oddity offering free upgrades – their major reason?
NO other software company is like that NOR unless with other reason – such as getting you to purchase its hardware should be. DO NOT expect companies to give “free” upgrades without some financial incentive haha the world doesn’t operate that way. There are exceptions. The gold standard of personal audio playback is a program called Roon. You put your database on a NAS or a computer, then you can add in every CD you ever copied onto your hard drive, then you connect a TIDAL or Qobuz subscription and you can play hi-rez music anywhere in your home on almost any device and can even do this away from your home.
The program itself can be bought for a one time fee and you get lifetime upgrades for free. Don’t know how they do it but it works out nice for me.
Another example is Affinity editing and design products. Although their V2 you have to buy, it will get free upgrades for a very long time.
It looks like they increasingly just focus on wedding and studio photographers. For nature photographers the new release is a big disappointment and has nothing to offer to justify an upgrade for me. The smart adjustments require a human face and are worthless for any other motifs. The clock adjustments may be nice but not worth the price for me either. I have been using Capture One since v1 until v21 but I think it’s time to look elsewhere LR or DxO now – at least if new cameras are not supported anymore by C1-v C-1 v22 already had less to offer over v21 apart from the pano and HDR fuctionalities which are pretty rudimentary compared to other offers, though.
So I skipped v 22 for the first time and very probably will do the same with C1- v I just came back from Alaska with 15, images of brown bears and other wildlife and the new cull feature looks to be a fantastic new feature.
While I agree that the first implementation left a lot to be desired, it has come of age since the update to v22 so i worth looking into. I agree that smart adjustments requiring a human face is a bit of a letdown, but in some videos they hinted that probably won’t be the case in a future release. Personally I agree that the release this time around is largely aimed at wedding and studio photographers, although I also agree that the culling can be very useful for wildlife photographers.
The problem with the new import features – that I can see – is that anybody who really need them is probably using PhotoMechanic, and while possibly the speed angle may reduce that use, the complete lack of import keywording surely makes it pretty weak competition. As for culling, if I understand correctly, Cull Mode only works with catalogs. Yet wedding and studio photographers generally seem to use sessions.
Yes, especially the HDR and panorama compositing features still suffer from major issues: there’s no way to fix alignment in panos if it doesn’t happen to match automatically which tends to happen time and again with handheld pano series ; HDR compositing suffers from artifacts if there is ANY motion, which happens all the time with landscape shots leaves, water , again with no way of mitigating, requiring masking and replacement from individual source images in an external editor.
In summary, lackluster implementations that are nice and convenient when they happen to work but don’t do away with the need to have external solutions on hand. They don’t appear to have worked on these features ever since they were introduced, my impression is that they’re there just so they can tick those boxes relative to LR. So sounds like this feature will be expanded in the future and interesting what you said about this being hinted at. WJaekel And the last release focused mainly on Landscape and Architecture photographers, so where is the problem?
Yes the Panorama implementation is improvable but if you shoot with a panoramic head it works really well and allows RAW editing on the stitched Panorma which is a killer feature. Dehaze was also a great new addition. In general ever update also comes with a lot of under the hood improvements.
I tried Lightroom recently because I’m so annoyed by the new icons – I never thought something so little could cause such huge disturbance in the workflow.
And while it does have it’s advantages and depending on your preferences it will get better results in very specific scenarios. Lightrooms general output quality in most cases is beyond bad, sometimes even bordline criminal. I don’t know how people can life with it. But I might use it for the few scenarios it has an advantage in since I pay for it with Photoshop anyway I just cannot see that this update is worth the extra costs involved.
The program works well enough for me. I will see what the next one offers. Their business practices about licensing and make no sense to me. Kinda expected more out of CO23, but the Smart Adjustments thing sounds like a useful feature as that’s probably half the time I spend editing anyway. But when I’m just making quick adjustments and delivering a bunch of photos as quickly as I can, CO does a pretty good job.
They just keeping adding things people are not asking for and leaving out what keeps getting requested. Full LUT support is long over due as is a good blur tool we would use all the time. I edit thousands of photos a week most of the year from jobs we shoot in C1 but the new features are nothing I need or would use. We are Looking more into other programs to maybe use for next year that includes what we would use more of everyday.
Its hard to beat C1 but the lack of new good features and the on-going price jumps it getting old. If they lock Mac users out from using their current version when updating to the new Mac OS system will be the last straw for me. I have not done the update yet on my Mac systems. Got I sometimes feel C1 offers too many ways too achieve more or less the same effect.
Just ran a bunch of images thru a trial of CaptureOne 23 and gotta say the Cull feature is worth the price of admission, or at least upgrade from my perspective; hate subscriptions , addressing one of the ongoing complaints about the slow re-draw of previous versions.
I also increase the High Dynamic Range Highlight slider to 38 to reduce the highlights and increase contrast further. The Luma curve works mainly on the luminosity or brightness of the image. We can also add a very subtle S curve to the RGB curve, to slightly darken the blue in the sky at the same time as adding more contrast. As we bring out contrast in the sky, the dust spots from the sensor start to become prominent, so we can use the dust removal tool to remove them.
Finally, we use a number of Heal layers to clone out the bits of grass in the foreground to add the finishing touches.

When you reset capture one pro 12 black and white free adjustments for an image, it will revert back to these settings. And I thought it used advanced military-grade sensors coupled with a custom AI chip that was trained on millions of toast bread samples in order to achieve здесь absolute perfect toast bread. Family moments are precious and sometimes qnd want to capture that time spent with loved znd or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. Dec 3, One film class in high school, however, changed my outlook on the analog art form. Thanks for the insight.
