![]() One of the first things you will encounter when you want to import your images into Capture One is whether to use Catalogs or Sessions. Let us move on how to import images into Capture One. The point is that each photographer is different, which is why it is so great that your photo editor can adapt to you, not the other way around.Įnough about the Capture One interface for now. Others want to have tools arranged according to which stage of post-processing they are working on. Some want a simple interface, with just a few tools presented on one tab. This is one of the things we want to emphasize in this review of Capture One. If you cannot change your habit of pressing a specific keystroke for accessing, i.e., Grid View, you can change the shortcut keys or assign new keys to some of the more hidden features of Capture One. If you miss one tool on one of the tabs, you can add/remove tools to each tab if you want. If you are not happy with the tool tabs’ layout, you can add or remove tools to each tab, customizing the interface entirely to your liking. Hint, use the (output) process recipes tab. If you are looking for a tool to export your images, try one of the tabs furthest to the right. It doesn’t mean that you have to do something on all tabs to process your images, but it gives you a good idea of where to look for a specific tool. If you take a look at the way the tabs are ordered, you will find that they more or less give you the workflow from left to right. Then it moves on with tabs for lens correction, color, exposure, details, adjustments (styles and presets), metadata, and process recipes for exporting. The second is the Capture Tab, which is used for tethered capture. The first tab is, as mentioned, displaying the folder and collections in your catalog or session. These tabs structure the tools you use to process your images in Capture One. At the top of the left side panel, you find a number of tool tabs. Out of the box, you will have your library structure with folder and collections in the left side panel (on the first tool tab). But before we dig into that, let us get on with this quick start guide with a short tour of the Capture One interface.Ĭapture One is built more or less like any other photo editing app, with the difference that the interface is customizable. Capture One more seamlessly allows you to edit your photos, as you only have to change the tool tab, when browsing an image, instead of opening the image in a developing mode. Most photo-editors lets you import your photos into a catalog, organize them into folders and collections depending on your needs. It is not always visible at first glance, because of the sometimes overwhelming number of options and control you have. When you get a grip on how Capture One works, you will begin to spot the areas where Capture One excels and outperform other photo-editors like Lightroom. ![]() Most of the tools will feel natural once you have gotten used to where you can find the different tools, just like learning any other app. I assume that you have a little bit of experience with other photo editors, and if you do, you already have a good starting point for learning Capture One as many of the features are similar.
