These warnings could be pretty annoying and it makes sense to get rid off some of the alerts. For this, go to Capture One Preferences and open Warnings section: Here you can turn on/off all the available alerts, so they will not bother you anymore.

Are you aware of Color Readout tool in Capture One? You can find it in the “Pick …” tools drop-down menu (hold the left mouse button to expand it). With Color Readout you can add stickers on to your image. Each sticker shows color values for this particular place in the image. That’s a pretty useful tool for advanced color correction.
Here I wish to discuss three commonly undervalued features of Color Editor in Capture One. 1. Complete Color Change Yep, in Advanced mode of Color Editor, you can totally change selected color. Photographers which are new to Capture One usually think that hue correction in Color Editor is quite limited.

Each session and each catalog have their own keyword library which is connected to this session/catalog only. Thus you can’t have access to this library from any other sessions or catalogs. User-created libraries. All user-created libraries are common for all Capture One catalogs and sessions. These libraries are available in all the catalogs and seasons. Moreover, if you change some keywords in a user-created library, the change will immediately appear in all the catalogs and sessions.
Phase One introduced LAB readouts in Capture One 11, but as I can see, not many photographers actually implemented this feature in their workflows. I suppose the reason for this lays in the “weirdness” of LAB values comparing them to much more habitual RGB color space. At the same time, LAB colors are device independent, hence mastering LAB can benefit you a lot in professional color management and advanced image editing. Here, I’ll not go into a detailed explanation of how LAB works, you can easily google it yourself. The basic concept is pretty simple. LAB contains three channels: L…
