Capture One – More Than Just a RAW File Converter

Regular readers will know that we’re big Capture One fans, using it as our weapon of choice for creating clean files with good details. However, many people still regard Capture One as simply a RAW file converter and not a stand alone image processing application in it’s own right. I know many Capture One users who still output a fairly flat file and then spend a significant amount of time in Photoshop. While it make take a little time to learn, Capture One does a better job, in my view. This walk through video by Phase One specialist Peter Eastway does a good job of showcasing some of the image capabilities of Phase One’s software, taking a flatly lit shot of a bird and making it far more dynamic, while still remaining faithful to the base subject.
