This week we’ll talk about security. How safe and robust is your Capture One workflow? What will happen if your computer suddenly dies? Will you lose your images or Capture One settings? I’ve prepared a five-step guide on building a fail-safe Capture One workflow that I practice in my work! Step I.

Just don’t delete the CaptureOne folder near your RAWs, and you’ll be safe. Even if your data is somehow corrupted, you’ll lose the settings of…

Here is the final part of my tutorial on working with color schemes in Capture One! In the first part, we’ve practiced applying analogous color schemes. The second part was all about complementary colors. Now, it’s time to discuss additional color schemes that can enhance your editing in Capture One! Additional Color Schemes in Capture One As you know, in this tutorial, we focus on the practice of working with color schemes in Capture One. However, if you wish to go deeper into the color theory, I can recommend you a couple of readings: In the article The Art and…

This week we practice working with color schemes in Capture One! If you’ve missed the first part of this tutorial, check out my blog post to learn about applying analogous colors in Capture One. Today, we’ll see how to work with complementary colors! Complementary Color Schemes in Capture One I think photographers shouldn’t overcomplicate complementary color schemes. Like with analogous colors, you might find multiple variations of complementary color harmonies, including Split Complementary and Double Split Complementary schemes. I believe that such a precise approach doesn’t work in real-life photography. Think simpler: complementary colors are the colors that are opposite…
