Clarity
all right, clarity. So perfect image. Let's talk about clarity in structure. Let's go ahead and let's take a look at my background layer. I'm not looking at any secondary layer. Wanted to make sure. First, I'll be looking clarity. And so we want to talk about the difference between clarity and structure. Completely different use for each one. I'm gonna get rid of my not my tools, but grew to my browser. I have a bigger image. Take a look at what each one does, so clarity. I want to add minute detail. How am I gonna add the minute detail that if we look at the structure, you'll see the detail popping up globally? I want to go dramatically. See the detail double click to go back to zero, uh, small structure, small detail. Fully everywhere. Clarity is completely different where it's more of a contrast edge list. Take a look at it. You'll notice that I don't have those small details. I'm more of a global. It's it's It's going to do more of an edge than everywhere and my clarity. See the sm...
aller edges, in contrast, huge contrast difference but not small structure. So I find structure small. Find my minute details, restructure clarity on overall very softer way to do it. But just on edge is importantly by doing it there and not sharpness, I don't get well. I'm zooming and way too much. I don't get those white halos unless I really push it too much again. This is nondestructive. I don't want to. I don't want to push it too far, and it doesn't allow me to push it too hard. Typically, um, because I want to just enhance. So let's go take a look at punch. Now. Taking that method with punch is gonna change my colors as well. So if I go ahead in my structure, can you see? Well, that's just crazy. As crazy, you'll see the colors not so much there, but you'll see it in the clarity. There you go. The colors change. You see the colors change their here. When we do punch with clarity, they get more contrast in the color, so the without punch it leaves the colored along with punch. It changes colors and boost limited saturation. They're up. How you know, how do you know what you twin does? Play with it natural neutral those air to me and much. I use this very seldom, but it's also because of what camera I'm using. Depending on the camera that you're using, you might want to use this more often, right? So it's Ah, it's personal. Um, you're shooting people you probably hardly ever using unless you want to do some negative, right? And you that really, really, suddenly just had a little little crunch or something to an outdoor scene, environmental portrait or something. And like I said, this is another perfect example of a few handfuls that really change turned me on to capture one was that the clarity didn't look horrible because clarity and a CR light room to me is basically a joke. Um, and you, when you see someone pegging it, it's like a typical retouch Joe Clarity to 100 you know, because that's a newbie kind of mistake. But I always avoid the clarity Slider day CR like the plague. But in capture one actually like it. Yes, even on some portrait. And I don't just mean portrait of me. I mean, like, you know, even pretty people, I mean, and then every now and then it helps or eye mask it into the hair or something here. Yeah, but my point is still smooth. Like everything else in the program. Smooth the little tools that it does apply. Default doesn't really do that. My savings stays. You save his user preset. Um, I probably wouldn't do much of these precepts. I know that you might want to do negative clarity until the negative clarity is going to just smooth it out a little bit, Actually. Doesn't really nice job. So sometimes negative clarity and negative structure, eyes, something that take a look a Wow, it it just really makes it blur together. That might be, and especially you from shooting a portrait of skin and that quickly, Way to do it. I want to do it there. I don't know if I do it here. A photo shop. You know, I'd probably do it. Yeah, that's gonna work. And probably skin working, putting up with that with that level. But it does have the ability. If you wanted to

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.
