Creating a Color Mask

another way to do it. Another way to do it is let's go ahead and make a mask. So there's a bunch of different ways, and I think we can go again. Spend 1/2 an hour on this tool. And since we have a long time left on the certain things that we're not gonna get into, we'll spend some time on the tool. All right, this this yellow, uh, let's say that that that, um what is not to call this? The egg grow for sushi is called Anybody Row row. So let's say that was the client that I was shooting for. They sell row, so I want this to glow. I wanted to stand out over the rest of everything else. I can do a couple different things, but the easiest thing to do the really is this thing to do is come in and making a mask enter. Now I could call it yellow, our own e, right, Hillary. And after making that mass, I'm gonna grab my tool to draw a mask. I'm going to hit control click to make a larger, a larger tool. And after taking that, I'm gonna bring the hardness down a little bit more. It was a little ...

bit too much of a niche. Zoom in to finger school and tool, move it to the center. Make a little bit smaller again. It's just this that I want to grab. That, um, flow was a little bit too low. Now, I'm gonna do this a couple different ways, so I'm just doing it fast, all right, Now, because I've chosen that mask, I can grab yellow inside that mask and quickly inside that mask. Just lighten it up. You just lighten the yellows inside that mass, so I actually, if there wasn't any yellow, there wasn't any yellow. I could go back to the mask. I could grab that tool. And since there's no yellow, but I could have made a really ugly mask as long as it wasn't covering any yellows. It doesn't have to be accurate because I'm Onley, grabbing the yellows with that tool and modifying them. So hit em to get rid of my mask and you'll see that it doesn't still doesn't affect anything else unless it's just yellow. But yes, a little time to like, Don't don't go crazy on your mask either. in photo shop players air here. Sometimes the semi sloppy mask is enough, as long as the end result looks good. If you're doing it by color, you just get I mean, the color range inside of that mask, looking at it differently, you can go ahead and look at how you how you perceive retouching that I need to do. But I could be really messy with this because there's no yellows around ago. Where are and then and then that can change those, like small victories in my world, they are like this mass can be messy. Uh, today I'm happy. So if that is weaken really selectively. Grab that nail that color from where it was, toe where it is, Turn it on, turn it off. You'll see a change, right? So that stands out.

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.
