Can you intensify color by reducing it?

February 27, 2021 by Rod Lawton

When to use Capture One’s Light Falloff slider

February 21, 2021 by Rod Lawton

This is a great tool when you’re working with lenses that suffer from vignetting. Most modern lenses are pretty good in this respect and Capture One will usually have a lens profile that corrects vignetting and distortion and chromatic aberration at the same time. But if you’re working with older vintage lenses, or cheap lo-fi […]

The new Capture One Dehaze tool is NOT the same as Lightroom Dehaze

December 9, 2020 by Rod Lawton

The new Dehaze slider in Capture One 21 shares the same name as the tool in Lightroom, and the same aim – to reduce atmospheric haze in outdoor shots and restore contrast and depth.

August 26, 2020 by Rod Lawton

I’m a big fan of LUTs (lookup tables). They are used in cinematography to give movies a specific ‘look’ but they’ve now crossed over into stills photography, where they are used for everything from vintage effects to film simulations.

There may be more in your RAW files than you think! See this in Capture One
