Capture One

Capture One 10

Capture One 10 was released a week or so ago. It should be faster and more stable for most users, but you should know it does not work with Yosemite.

Although I haven’t had lots of time to play around with it, here are a few new features to note.

Sharpening.

Phase One has introduced what they call “3 step sharpening.”

1) Input Sharpening  – Under the Lens Correction tool you will note a checkbox called “Diffraction Correction.” This corrects sharpness issues with the lens. (Off by default.)

2) Creative Sharpening – Under the Sharpening Tool a new 4th slider has been added called “Halo Suppression.” This slider will help correct the “halo” the appears when sharpening has been applied. You can now also apply all 4 sharpening sliders (Amount, Radius, Threshold, and Halo) in layers.

3) Output Sharpening – This allows for tweaking sharpening for final output (screen / print). A new slider has been added to the print option when you can dial in the distance the image will be viewed from.

Proofing

Proofing can now be turned on via the new glasses icon in the toolbar or under the “View” menu.  When its on a “Proofing” label will appear at the top-center of the Viewer. The settings in the current Process Recipe will be displayed.

Tangent Panel Support

OK this one is out of my wheel-house and don’t know anyone here in Portland, Oregon that will find benefit from it. Capture One 10 will now lets you integrate “Tangent” devices.  I’ve never used or seen a Tangent device, but heres a image of one.

New Filtering

You can now filter images by square, landscape, or portrait orientation formats.

Focusing

A new “Camera Focus” tool has appeared. This new tool now has a AF button that will snap the camera into focus. You can then adjust as you like. Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Phase cameras should all work.

Etc., Etc., Etc.

There are a number of other smaller and technical things that I’m still learning. One cool feature is that you can now move and rename folders under the catalogs “folder” area and the changes will be made on your disk.

Download or Not?

If we have worked together, here in Portland, I would say hold off for now. Keep your workflow solid, I’ll talk you when the time is right. If you don’t have Capture One then go for it.  Capture One is fabulous, its the only thing I use or recommend for capture. Use my code on the right side bar for 10% off. Click on it and it should take you the the Phase one store.

Back from Japan

katsuhiro

I just returned from a two week trip to Japan with my wife. While there we meet up with friends and my wife’s family. I also had the opportunity to meet with Katsuhara Kawahara the president of Profoto Japan. The photo shows Mr. Kawahara with an IPA from Burnside Brewing and I holding a custom “Bisco”  (popular children’s snack) with my photo on it.

Act now and book me and you too can have a few custom Bisco snacks.

Japan Bound

I’ll be out of town from October 20th to Jan 6th. While in there, I’ll be stopping in Profoto’s (lighting company) Japan HQ. I would love to build more industry connections in Japan, so if there is anyone I should meet, please let me know. (The photo above is Inari Jina located in Kyoto. It’s one of the photos you have to take while there. Always loaded with tourists, so lots of waiting for people to clear out.)

Profoto D2

Profoto announced their new D2 mono head today, and its something you should look into. When I was at Profoto’s HQ in Sweden back in May they showed a group of us a pre-production D2. Lot’s of information on the Profoto site on its specs.

Key features I notice:

• Fast refresh – 20 pops per sec at max.

• Fast flash duration (1/63,000 of a sec.)

• New menu system on the back of the head.

• 1/8000 sync on Canon / Nikon.

Capture One & Sierra

macos-sierraAs always don’t immediately upgrade to a new OS when Apple puts one out as they did on July 6th if you want Capture One to keep working smoothly. Hold off, I’ll tell you when its safe.
