1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,040
Now we're getting to the fun part.
2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,020
You'll find that, powerful though it is,
3
00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:06,070
using Capture One is very intuitive.
4
00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:08,090
It takes minimum time spent becoming familiar
5
00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:10,040
with the tools, and you'll be generating
6
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,090
tremendous conversions in no time.
7
00:00:12,090 --> 00:00:15,060
So let's first take a look at this toolbar up here,
8
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:18,050
and we'll go through each one of these individual areas
9
00:00:18,050 --> 00:00:20,000
to show you what they do.
10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,010
This is the Color Adjustment area,
11
00:00:22,010 --> 00:00:23,060
and we click on this to bring it up,
12
00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:25,020
and we see the histogram,
13
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:29,060
we can go into these ICC Profiles that Capture One generates,
14
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:31,090
white balance adjustments, color balance,
15
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:35,030
black and white, and the very detailed color editor.
16
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,060
And we'll go into more details on how all this works later,
17
00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:41,050
but just, as a brief overview of what this toolbar will give you,
18
00:00:41,050 --> 00:00:44,060
if we click on the Exposure tab, we see again,
19
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:47,030
more adjustments for exposure, clarity,
20
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:49,050
we have the Curve dialog box down here,
21
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:51,030
which is very, very helpful,
22
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:53,040
and then looking at the Lens Correction tab,
23
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000
we click on this and see that we've got a number
24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,070
of different things that we can do
25
00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:01,060
in terms of correcting normal, unavoidable
26
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:05,030
lens distortion, especially on wide-angled shots.
27
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:07,070
When we click on the Crop tool, we see all the variations
28
00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:08,090
that can be brought to bear
29
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:10,070
when you're cropping your image.
30
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:13,020
Now let me just show you this area up here,
31
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:15,050
it's kind of duplicated, but if we click on it,
32
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:17,060
the dropdown list will give us a number
33
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:20,020
of choices on how our crop will look.
34
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:22,010
We can either go unconstrained,
35
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:25,000
or the original aspect ratio,
36
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,080
we can do a square, or any kind of combinations
37
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,030
in composing your image. Go ahead and click on that
38
00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:34,060
to get rid of the dropdown menu.
39
00:01:34,060 --> 00:01:37,060
Next is the Details tab, it looks like a magnifying glass,
40
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:40,010
and again, we can look at things like sharpening,
41
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:42,050
noise reduction, we can look at film grain,
42
00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:44,040
we can either add it or subtract it,
43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,030
depending on whatever your preference is,
44
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:50,000
getting rid of moire, and spot removal.
45
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,010
And we click on the Local Adjustments tab
46
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:53,080
that looks like a paintbrush, and we can do
47
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,050
localized adjustments to different areas of the image,
48
00:01:56,050 --> 00:01:58,000
in other words, if we want to add sharpening
49
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,050
to just her face, this is the area where that is done.
50
00:02:02,050 --> 00:02:05,010
And if we click on the Adjustments box
51
00:02:05,010 --> 00:02:08,020
that looks like a list, then we can see that we can save
52
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:10,070
some of these presets, in other words,
53
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:12,080
any adjustment that you could do on an image,
54
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,020
can be saved as a preset to be used in the future.
55
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:18,090
We'll click on the Information tab, and we see
56
00:02:18,090 --> 00:02:22,050
all of the areas where you can add IPTC information,
57
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:25,050
and we look at the camera EXIF information here
58
00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:29,040
to give you all the details about how the image was shot.
59
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,070
If we click on the cog wheel, which is our Output tab,
60
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:36,080
we can see the process recipes for converting your image,
61
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,020
and of course, we just want to mention that
62
00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:42,010
we should always export as a 16 bit .tif, full size,
63
00:02:42,010 --> 00:02:44,050
in the Adobe RGB color space.
64
00:02:44,050 --> 00:02:48,000
But all of those things can be adjusted in this tab.
65
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,010
And last but not least, if we click on the Machinery tabs,
66
00:02:51,010 --> 00:02:54,000
this is the Batch panel, if you have 10 images
67
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
that you're trying to convert at the same time,
68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,040
it will show you how many are left
69
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,060
and how many that you've already converted.
70
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:02,020
And the History gives you all of the images
71
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:05,060
that you've converted in this specific session.
72
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:06,060
Now if we look at this area
73
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,070
in the top-center of the workspace,
74
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:11,090
we can see different tabs, and really these are
75
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:14,080
not so much adjusting the quality
76
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,070
or the brightness or the color of the image,
77
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:19,030
but the way the image is presented.
78
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:21,060
And we've been over the Crop tool,
79
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:23,030
and this is the Straighten tool, it gives you
80
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:25,010
a very quick and efficient way of
81
00:03:25,010 --> 00:03:28,020
straightening your image, if it happens to be crooked.
82
00:03:28,020 --> 00:03:30,030
And the Keystone Correction tab
83
00:03:30,030 --> 00:03:32,090
lets you very quickly bring into alignment
84
00:03:32,090 --> 00:03:34,060
those elements within the image
85
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:36,050
that need to be parallel, such as
86
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:39,010
trees and buildings and such.
87
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:41,050
The Spot Removal tool allows you to
88
00:03:41,050 --> 00:03:44,090
get rid of sensor dust, spots on your lens,
89
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:47,090
etcetera, very quickly.
90
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:49,070
Now, this is your Masking tool,
91
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:52,010
and we will get into details on how that works
92
00:03:52,010 --> 00:03:54,050
in a future movie, but this is where
93
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:56,070
the masking is done. You can either draw a mask
94
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:59,030
or erase the mask, or create what's known
95
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:01,080
as a 'gradient mask', and we'll get into details
96
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040
on that later. This is your Eyedropper tool
97
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,070
that allows you to do things like pick a white balance,
98
00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:10,070
sample, skin tone adjustments,
99
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:12,090
pick the shadow level, etcetera.
100
00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:15,050
All kinds of different chromatic adjustments
101
00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:18,080
in color can be done with this eyedropper tool.
102
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,080
So those are the basics in allowing you to
103
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,070
use the tools to adjust your images in Capture One.
