Now let's get into key stoning that go back to geek and out a little bit on Keystone. And we did this a little bit already. But let's get into what you can do on it. Um, we go back to perspective control. Um, here we go back to Patrick Ewing says, No, I don't want you to use those progress for special control today. All right, heck with you. All right, so let's go to this image and let's go to the tool, Keystone. You'll see. I used it here. You see that? I use it. If I come to the two up top, you'll see how much I used it. You'll see reset. And how much I use this, this image and in here. So let's go ahead and reset this image and how I would use it, come here to my crop and could move my crop out back to the tool. And so what would I using Keystone in this one? I only want a vertical keystone. And so take a look at here. You've got to get vertical horizontal, and you've got the square that we used already to actually line without. But this is really simple. This is a vertical key ston...
ing. I'm gonna grab it here to the corner of the building. I'm gonna grab the other point. Put it on top of the building. Same thing here. Real simple. I'm do this fast and apply. All right, that's a simple It is key. Sunni is awesome and it's really, really easy. Eso then, if I was on a tripod, I would against select all all the images shot that boom apply and everything in that that scenario that was shot when that tripod is now perfect. Just be careful. I would just give a little bit of morning on this that if I'm doing a vertical naturally, our eyes see things the way perspective is to her eyes, where the buildings bigger at the bottom and smaller at the top. So if I correct it perfectly, it doesn't look natural because my eyes didn't see it that way so often it looks too much corrected, and I might want to just pull it back just a little bit and it gives it a little bit more of a comfort level for my eyes to see it. When things that two of building is really tall and straight. You know, you've never seen it that way, right? And so your eye doesn't feel natural, so know that pull back a little bit to feel natural. So as you saw before, we can do this with square. We could do it on the horizon as well, if we want to do it with a rising and so that you'll notice I have set this up for rise and that's it. Apply. Yeah, you don't want to do it for for this for that one. For this emerging, you definitely don't want those square presented questions. So there's a local copy and apply. You wanted a local copying apply and then the small tools on the side. Yes, so for the key studying is that something that you would not recommend doing auto cause. It's pretty brilliant for, like someone that's an architectural photographer to just quickly go in there. And so photo shop. But I know you don't like auto. So is that something you try to stay away from? This camera wouldn't have the data. It doesn't do. It all depends of your camera. Has his ability Teoh to read the axes, reads the axes and saves them in the metadata cause that's what it has to do. The software has to go see the axes and read it. So if it does, yeah, I would say, Let's try it. And then you can easily go back to the image and pull it back a little bit on each one. But why not apply it for us if you can do all of them at once? That is an issue with that at all, you know? So now I make garbage in garbage out guy, right? I'd rather shoot it right to begin with and not have to apply anything. I'd rather use a camera That gives me perspective control after state that, um, bite. But but if you don't, then you could fix it.

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.
