Color Shift Styles

Color Shift styles allow you to change the color of any object on an image completely. Simply mask an object and apply a Color Shift style to the selected layer:

See how it works in action:

Please note that this tool is designed to shift existing colors and hues, not to create them. That means Color Shift styles can’t change color on objects without hue, such as the white background.
Also, the resulting color highly depends on the object’s lightness and saturation. If you’re not entirely satisfied with the result, feel free to experiment with the Saturation and Lightness sliders of the Skin Tone tool.

Visual Accent Styles

The set includes 10 styles and 10 style brushes. All Visual Accent Styles support layers.

How to Apply Visual Accent Styles?

As with any styles, it makes sense to adjust Exposure and White Balance before applying a style. Also, I’ve prepared additional recommendations for the new styles:

1. The Accent on Environment style enhances all colors on an image except skin tone hues. Try to apply it in layers or as a style brush for the most accurate impact on your image.
2. The Accent on Skin Tone style slightly dims non-skin-tone colors, focusing the viewer’s attention on the people in the shot.
3. The Paint it Cyan style is designed for images with noticeable warm and cool areas, adding a pale cyan look. The best practice is to apply this style to a layer and adjust the opacity to modify the style impact.
4. The Accent on Tonal Contrast style applies a hand-crafted mix of adjustments, amplifying the tonal contrast on your image. The best practice is to adjust HDR and Saturation after using the style.
5. The Accent on Emotions style is designed to enhance emotion-driven images. The best practice is to apply this style to a layer and adjust the opacity to modify the style impact.
6. The Accent on Warm Colors style makes the warm colors pop, which can benefit images of various genres. I highly recommend you to apply this style on a layer, working with portraits and other sensitive plots.
7. The Enhance Foggy Shot style is designed for hazy images. Keep in mind that it’s barely suitable for portraits or high-contrast landscapes.
8. The Accent on Depth style contains a hand-crafted mix of adjustments, adding depth and dimensionality to your image.
9. The Accent on Cool Colors style accurately dims warm colors and enhances cool colors, focusing the viewer’s attention on them. This style is designed for travel and street photography shots rather than portraits.
10. The Accent on Details style makes details stand out in your image. I recommend to apply it in layers or as a style brush for the most accurate impact.

Curve Adjustments

In the Toolkit, you’ll find 20 styles with various Curve adjustments. Using these styles, you can quickly find a contrast that fits your image best.
To mix these styles with other styles, turn on the Stack Styles feature.

Dynamic Symmetry Grids

Dynamic Symmetry grids offer an easy way to evaluate your composition and arrange it according to the key elements of your shot. Simply add it to your Overlay tool to quickly access the new grids.

Social Media Aspect Ratios

In the kit, you’ll find seven custom aspect ratios that cover popular social media and cinema looks.

Session and Catalog Templates

Boost your workflow with our 10 Session and Catalog templates.

What is a Template?

Templates contain saved structures of Capture One sessions and catalogs. Thus, you can create a new session or catalog with pre-defined albums and folders.
Templates don’t affect your workspace or image adjustments.

Here is how it works

Let’s create a new session using the Studio 3 Looks template:

This template automatically creates four folders in the session’s Capture folder and adds them to the Session Favorites:

The Lighting-Setup folder is set as the default Capture Folder. Simply right-click on the Look-1/2/3 folders to set it as the Capture Folder.

Also, every session template creates five smart albums:

– All Images
– Selected (5 stars or Green color tag)
– Decide Later (2-4 stars or any color tag different from Green and Red)
– Rejected (1 star or Red color tag)
– Not Rated

All session templates follow the same logic, but the folders’ naming and amount differ.
For instance, the Portrait 10 Participants template creates folders for 10 participants of a photo session:

Catalog Templates

Catalog templates are based on projects and smart albums.
For instance, the Studio 5 Looks template creates five projects for every look with separate sets of smart albums:

Social Media Export Recipes

21 export recipes designed for various social media formats.

Export recipes and crop settings are inextricably linked in Capture One:
Export recipe determines the export file size, and cropping defines an area that is going to be presented in the exported file.
Thus, your file had to have a proper aspect ratio and export settings to fit Instagram or Facebook requirements.

Simply crop an image, and select export recipes with your current aspect ratio in the naming:

For instance, you need to prepare a landscape shot for posting on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

First, select the SM Landscape preset and crop your image to fit the required aspect ratio.
Secondly, select export recipes that have SM Landscape in the name.
Finally, export images and Capture One will sort all files in custom subfolders.

All images will have file sizes and sharpness that fit the guidelines of social media platforms.
Please note that image sharpness is a pretty subjective matter, and you’re free to adjust the Output Sharpness of the recipes to match your preferences.

30 Skin Tone Styles

30 Skin Tone styles, designed to speed up skin tone correction.

– Default Even Out Styles
– Skin Hue Styles
– Skin Saturation and Lightness Styles

Custom Workspaces

Five custom workspaces for Capture One:

– Speed Edit Workspace
– Batch Editing Workspace
– Color Grading Workspace
– Studio Workspace
– Travel Workspace

HSL Color Ranges Preset

This preset imitates the color ranges of Lightroom’s HSL panel.
Using it, you can convert your LR HSL presets to Capture One. Also, it’s convenient to use this preset when applying color correction techniques from LR tutorials.
The preset is also available as a style.

60 Style Brushes

All the Ready Looks, Visual Accent Styles, and Color Shift styles are also available as style brushes, so you can easily apply adjustments locally.

To install the guides, simply click on the Choose File section in the Overlay tool and select each file one by one. After that, they will be quickly accessible in your Overlay tool.

I recommend you to turn on the Follow Crop option to use Dynamic Symmetry grids when cropping. You can also set a shortcut for the Overlay tool to quickly turn the Dynamic Symmetry grid on/off.

Restart Capture One, and the recipes will appear in your app.

If you have Capture One 21 14.1 or older, you'll need
the Recipes120 folder.
The naming of these folders may be confusing, but it merely represents the engine version used in these recipes. Capture One 22 and 23 are using export recipes created with Capture One engine version 14.3.
