Advanced Color Mask

so go back to advanced. We're gonna go in, select this sorbet. We're gonna go importantly, view selected color, range and see what selected and what's not. And you'll see that that yellow that there's a yellow flower there that selected to. So can we pull the yellow flower out? We can bring that back in. Just give me that wedge so that it's just the oranges and not the yellows. And now this obey. If I'm selling this sorbet, that's how it wanted. Want to use it as right? So all right, then let's go ahead in our smoothness and let's see how smooth it is. That's oftentimes for my mask. I want to bring it down. You'll notice that I just wanted enough. I want to bring it smooths down enough that it only have that color. Then again, the hidden small little features of the software that you won't know is there create mass layer from selection. Okay, hit the M tool and you'll see the mass that was made. You'll see the math m. You'll see that it's not the flowers, but what it is is there is tha...

t I don't necessarily want. But now that it made a mask. Okay, I'll take the eraser and I'll go ahead and erase those areas that I don't want. Oh, yeah? I was gonna refine your man. Absolutely. Yes. I'm doing it with the track bed. All right. I'm not watching. Yeah, well, that's because I like a train wreck. You can't watch it, but oh, really nice. You know, Remember that tablets? No. Again. Uh, any area that it picked up that only I'm selling Sorbet. This is clearly is a sorbet ad for sorbet company. I don't want to change anything else but the auto, The auto crate of the mascot, A creation of the Mass saved you a thana time. Tons. So hit the M two. Now, we only have this one race, so now it's a mask. That's not just color that I can do now. I made. And that's really quick. Guys, I created a very clean edge mask from color that I want to do to play with. And now from there I can go to all the other things I can control. But I can actually change the color temperature of it. And I watched the color temperature change, so I can go ahead and change the color temperature of it. I can come in and change just the exposure. Bring it down. You know what? It was a little bit too hot. I bring down 1/3 of a stop. Um, I can change the saturation saturation just a little bit. So I'm being I can go ahead and really tweak this really nice. All the other features that I could do in layers because I was able to make a mask from a color selection really cleanly and quickly. Now, what's even gold about that? All right, let's make a, uh, Let's go ahead. Click. Right. Let's go ahead. Make a neutral. Okay. We should really call this. Let's call this sorbet. And you're from Texas, right? Uh, sort of. Okay, so this is sorbet, all right? And so you relate. Well, this is cold. Ain't sorbet ain't sorbet. Fair enough. This is everything else from the Northeast now. I just love That ain't Texas. You know, this is Texas, and this ain't Texas to rest. The country had a conversation exactly at that T shirt. That's a little plug. Okay, so I will copy mask from the 1st 1 called sorbet. I've got a mask. But then really importantly, what I've done now I can avert that mask. And now I have a mask of everything but the sorbet. And now I can say, you know what? I'm selling sorbet my exposures way too hot on the background, and I'm going to bring down everything but this or Beida. So because of the color editor is being strength, I could make that quick mask. I can go in and create the map from the color, and then I can make an inverted mask and create everything else to really have that image pop and do and show what I'm selling right to show that what I'm selling is that product and it's popping up out of there. Yeah, well, I don't shoot survey or ain't so ready either one. Um, I do I find doing that actually works really well with, like, a really electric blue sky. I just can select them that could do things to the sky in capture one. You know, gradation. You know what that is? Tomorrow. That's later. That's another segment we're gonna get into. We're gonna get into local adjustments, end up But since we had touched on color editor, I wanted to go within color and all the things I can do now. That's one of the reasons that I keep it in color. I keep color editor in local adjustments. I don't need to have it to different places. I get rid of it otherwise and keep that it lays in, sits in color in local adjustments and stays there no where it is and use it in layers that way.

Yes, per some other reviews this started slow. What turned me off was the sales spiel for the class. It also came across as a sales schtick for C1, which is ok given the presenter. Stuck with it (well most of it, had to step away at times) and found it useful. I've had my eye on C1 for a LONG time. I'm not a pro, but would consider myself a pretty serious amateur. I document old mining and narrow gauge steam engines, general travel and now do our product photography (started a new company, so all $ goes to that rather than C1, which I would LOVE to own after seeing C9). Went with Aperture back in the day because of its cataloging and price. Back then C1 didn't have cataloging, though it DID have a 2 tier price structure...(Phase WHY did ya'll do away with this?????). Back to the class. After lunch on the first day I think they found their stride. Second day, especially Nino in the afternoon was quite good. That was probably my fav session. Seemed like most questions came from the in-studio "captive" audience. Expected more from the web? Constructive feedback. 1) Could have condensed things down quite a bit. I liked the more casual approach it took later on first day and on the second day. Dave especially seemed more at ease. 2) Ya'll (Dave especially) seemed to have his topics scripted out. Given the two day nature of this, would have been nice to give the attendees an idea of agenda/timeslots for topics up front. If an agenda/timeline was presented...I totally missed it. But then, I couldn't back up or rewind the live stream when I had to step away several times... if I paused it jumped to the realtime stream :-( 3) C Lve was pushing the "free trial download"...isn't there already a trial download from Phase? What value are ya'll offering in this area above what they offer? I found this annoying, if there's an extended trial period or something through ya'll cool. If not...I'm back to the annoying aspect of it. 4) Nino, get a Cintiq :-) If C1 doesn't have a profile for Cintiq (I'm going to download the trial from Phase) Phase you need to add support for it. 5) Dave's material he presented should be in vids on his website to help him expand his C1 market..fantastic selling tool there Dave....or even better....embedded in the product itself (ala SilverFast). Phase, you listening? 6) Nino, given he's coming from a different angle, eg no skin in selling C1?, he could do a 3-5 hour intensive vid(s) and I'd pay something for that. YMMV but I liked his approach and presentation. Was disappointed no C1 on his YouTube :-( Would I pay 99.00 for this class? Honestly, no. We use 3D graphics (ZBrush) and CAD (Rhino) in our company and have been learning those over the last year. To compare. There is another tutorial company whose name I shall not mention (no, it does not start with an 'L') that specializes in vid classes for those and other 3D products. They structure their offerings on a AFFORDABLE monthly/6mos/yearly all-you-can-eat fee structure. Much more consumer friendly, and quite honestly their videos are very focused and about 4-6 hours per course. I don't see myself paying 99.00 much less 129.00 for just one course like this (especially with the sales spiel content) when other companies have a more customer friendly consumption model. A value for the $ thing. In the end I did learn some things, and I'm glad I watched what I could of it. And yeah, I'm pretty sure after this review I just got taken off the free C1 license contention list...but I'm just being honest...Dave, I will be ordering some of the LCC pocket accessories if I ever get C1...those were cool IMHO. C1 has come quite a ways. When I can, I'll add it to our software arsenal.

I have been a user of Capture One for a couple of years but have strugled to get my head around the way to use this software as my chosen raw converter, I love the improved quality that Capture One gives me but always seem to end up scratching my head and going back to Lightroom to save time. I haven't been able to watch the full presentation due to time difference, (I am in the U.K), and other commitments but I have learnt so much in the time I have spent watching that I can finally see me waving goodbye to Lightroom in the very near future. The presenters are excellent teachers, they are funny, engaging and thanks guys you really have made a p[ositive difference to how I interact with Capture One software.
