Hidden Features of Capture One Pro: Save Filters for Searching Metadata
Filters are an often over-looked feature in Capture One and they’re really very powerful for searching for images. You might already use them to find starred or colour tagged images but they can be set-up to search for any metadata that’s listed in the Metadata tool. As a camera and lens reviewer (formerly for numerous press titles in the UK), I often want to find photographs taken on certain cameras or lenses and so I have theses filters saved for just that purpose. I can also search by ISO, aperture value and even shutter speed if want to (the latter not so much, if I’m being honest). While those particular…

Hidden Features of Capture One: Save your Workspace
Fortunately, Capture One has an option to save the current workspace. Once saved it’s easy to restore and if you want several customised workspaces; simply set it up how you want it, then save it. You might for instance never use the tethering option, so you can simply remove the dedicated Capture tool tab for that and save the new workspace. Make the alterations to the current workspace as you see fit. Go to the main menu and select Window > Workspace > Save Workspace… A window will open to allow you name it. Type in a meaningful name and save it. That’s it, you’ve saved the currently configured workspace!…

Hidden Features of Capture One Pro: Redeploy as a Fast Browser
Why use Capture One Pro as a fast browser? In theory, Capture One can’t be used to browse until images are imported into either a Catalog or a Session. And, in my opinion, it’s this design that makes Capture One Pro a little daunting for new users, as you’re immediately asked to make a choice between them before you can use it. However, in practice there is a (unofficial and therefore unsupported) ‘third’ way to use it, and that is as a fast browser. One of the downsides of RAW converters like this is that you have to import images through a “gate-keeper” (the import, or ‘importer’) app. Once files…

Capture One Pro 12 review
Introduction to Capture One Pro 12 As a RAW converter and processor, Capture One Pro is highly regarded in the pressured professional circuit for its out-of-the-box colours and perfectly weighted sharpening. It’s also well-liked by studios for its unique job-by-job image management option called Sessions and the ability to tie these in with the most advanced tethering solution you’ll find anywhere. If the photographer has his camera tethered to a computer it will be running Capture One Pro. No question. Capture One Pro is also making inroads with enthusiasts and beginners. First, Sony and now Fujifilm is bundling the scaled-back version Capture One with their new cameras, and offering discounts…
