#SUOTORRET CAPTURE ONE STYLES SERIES#
Our latest Advanced series styles use custom ICC colour profiles based on our test scans shooting the real film, to get the most accurate colours possible. However, we don’t go barging in messing up all your settings – our styles avoid adjusting the main sliders as much as possible. Our current lineup goes deep, leveraging Capture One’s most advanced features to simulate the look of scanned film realistically. Lightroom has some advantages for developers, for sure, with its robust Creative Presets system, but Capture One dominates when it comes to deep control, image quality and realistic film grain.
#SUOTORRET CAPTURE ONE STYLES PROFESSIONAL#
We started with Capture One and it continues to be our raw editor of choice for professional photography work. Expensive packages that released without even supporting basic layer compatibility. The result? Inconsistent, messy styles, which pulling kinds of crazy slider tricks making it hard to adjust further. But in the last year or two, a lot of preset companies have realised it’s an expanding market and rushed to get their products ported over to it. I think of John Milich's nice work with some of the tech camera accessories, or Chiek's interesting homemade cameras.Capture One users have never had the same rich third-party ecosystem as Lightroom, sadly. There have been other members who have posted information about products they have created that are available for a price, and to me the protocol seems to be that the product bears some level of uniqueness, in other words it couldn't be found just anywhere, or they themselves indeed created it (even better), and that it has some opportunity to offer some value to or enhance an existing product some on this forum may already own. To me, the fact he's charging for it doesn't matter. But unfortunately in this case, I feel I am forced to take Doug's side. I don't agree with everything that is posted by Doug and I'm sure there have been times when he's felt the same about my posts. In other words it's not imposing someone else's "canned idea of what their image should look like" but rather providing a set of flexible tools and starting points (137 to be precise) to expand your palette of possibilities and help you explore an image more efficiently and more completely. I'd also fully expect most users would use these as "jumping off points" - that is, apply a Portra style to an image and then continue to tweak to their individual aesthetics. Given the number of ingredients present in C1 it seems a strong possibility. You'll probably be thoroughly unimpressed by some of the drinks, but you might find a combination of ingredients you otherwise wouldn't consider. It's like a professional and experienced bartender going to a bartender's cutting-edge-cocktail tasting. I think this is true even if you are a master user. That is, discovering that a particular look suits an image when you wouldn't have otherwise pursued that look. This is not only faster than experimenting with a broad range of sliders yourself, but it also opens the possibility of "happy accidents".
