Tethering Styles & Presets
another change that I want to make and maybe you'll pull this up top. Here is a style now, tools you saw earlier me getting rid of tools, right? I put styles and presets in here because it doesn't go by default. I believe it should should be defaulted in here. Control, option. Add tool and you can add tools anywhere you want so you can add it, creating a floating tool or add a tool into your workflow. So I like presets here. Why do I like presets here? Very importantly, Number one, my user styles, right? My metadata. That Dave's copyright that I shoot with my copyright. So So what? Apparently, Yeah. And it shoots with my God, right to, um, I shoot with my copyright. And so that's always on its always on so that my copyright metadata is going to be. Make sure that it's added automatically and tagged as I shoot without having at it. Now you're making me wanna tether more. Ah, tethering. It's so powerful because it's done here. I'm doing. Undoing is done. I don't I don't lose that cf carg...
o, right? I don't I don't see if card doesn't go corrupt on. We haven't dropped it. I don't drop it. And I scramble all the wrongs that are on it. You ever have that happen? OK, sorry about that. All right. Other than that, let's go ahead to keep on going here. If your camera has the ability and I've got to tell you, the cannons and all the rest were going to show you I don't like this exposure, So I'm going to actually, I don't like this explosion goto FAA on. I captured FAA. It can change FAA to hear it can really open it up to 5.6 if I want to blow it out so we can make changes on the fly if we want to. And see that those looks that are different. Ah, it's what do you want to dio? I s So here's my eye. So go to 800 I want to do that. It's gonna be nasty, but you conceal the things you can change some for manual toe aperture. Priority. Now, the crazy part is this Let me show you this because I'm gonna geek out on you a little bit. Not like I don't constantly What do you want to change in the camera. I've got a zooming What do you want to change in the camera? Your app is your white balance. Your file's extension in the back. Your live you aunt. If, like the storage mode, your previews literally charging from a PC. Wake up the camera There a F drive single the release. You have every bit of control sitting here. If your camera if you're shooting artwork if you're shooting um, carpeting In Georgia, we have 95% of carpets that are shot in Georgia. You mount that camera in the ceiling and you need to tether. You're not gonna go back and forth. You're not sneaker netting that you're not throwing the CF card downstairs to see if you like, you tether and you're copying that carpet tethered to the ceiling and you control every bit of your camera from here. Everything that you want and know that you've got it. So to me, there's so many reasons why you tethering and have full control everything to do well that cameras mounted in the ceiling or up on a boom or up on the stand can press on. Apologize again. I geek out on the tech guy. Remember, actually that much sort of microcontroller. Didn't you realize it did? I have the basics of tether, obviously, but I didn't realize you could go that far. It's well, you can that place to my interview if the camera allows you to. So the camera has a big part of what camera. If if that manufacturer works, he works well with face. If they're open to giving us that their data right and we are open to their platform, the share, back and forth cannon has always been that Can has been working with us. That's the first camera that was open to was the cannon came. So there's incredible live you. That's everything that works with this high end camera. Not that can. It's not high end, but it works with Canada's Okay, so keyword and key wording becomes really important. Let's go ahead and keyword at the same time. Sorry about that creative life, right to let's go flowers, and you've got to be able to type lower, even keyboard. All right, you can go ahead and keyword right from the beginning, and since it's copy from last God, put that information in the world. Metadata is going to be so important in the future. It's important now. It's important now, But being able to tag your files with the right information be able to search for them in the future. To be able to go online were all taken these phones and we're encompassed by these electronic devices and it's not gonna get better. It's gonna get worse. He's gonna run our lives. So being able to go look on that file boom, Click who shot it and anywhere in the world See who shot it to see Theo lamented information to say, Hey, look, this this blue shirt who sells it, click on it. Open up the debt. Oh, yeah, There's all the data about that blue shirt. I can get it at these locations. Metadata will become more important. Put the data into it today. So by adding a key word in tagging that he word into it on the capture. So much of the work is done at a time. Same thing here. You're getting the color right. You're getting the exposure, right? Even though it doesn't look like here. You're gonna show that up there. You're getting all that information done on the front end rather than the back end again tools. We're going to get into every tool individually and a little bit. But this is the first tool that it's so so powerful to be able control everything from quality to capture, especially in studio, especially with commercial work. Obviously, there's some locations, or you're not gonna be able to you hanging off the side of a mountain or something. But for the most part, there's times in landscape because the lights moving so fast I'm not. Tell her if I'm shooting architecture, I would tell you I'm tethering. I'm watching the light I'm seeing. I'm seeing it from my building Sharp. I'm there set up. I can do it. Shooting now, even for interiors, interior architecture. I want to make sure everything's proper before moved in next room, right? I thought, moving in the next room. I want to make sure being set. Boom, sharpness. I've got sharpness where I need to be moving that I've got a double. Check it to me. I don't want to go back and make excuses why it wasn't done right. It's done and I move that laptop with me to some great tools out there again. Multiple factors make them allow you to tether easily and simple simplified on onset are out there. There's to me only a few reasons why you wouldn't. And if you're commercial, if you're if you're doing a professional gig, lots of times, you should. There's no question your art director wants to see it. That person, if they're if your clients with, you know, clients with you, you have to All right, Any questions about any of this? Have I missed anything in the tether? Because we're gonna do tether, and you actually shoot tethering next. Sometimes you're going to see and you're gonna have to select notice that it selected my camera automatically every now and then you're gonna have to go in and select that one pesky cannon 40 D or something that it might not find automatically. And you'll have to find it and selected. But 99% of time it's going to find it itself. Question. Were you there, Dave? Texas beauty would like to know. Can one tether to capture one and still have the shot go to the CF card? Huh? Okay, well, that depends on the camera. I believe there's multiple cameras that have to separate slots, and so you'll have to find out on your separate camera and settings. But I know there's multiple cameras with two slots. One saves file, one ghost tethering. Now, that's something that you'll have to find on your end. I will tell you that this camera does not You can't go cf card and Teoh the computer at the same time. So that's more of the product on the front end question. Great. And then also another great question from Texas Beauty. Ah, Is there a limit the length of USB cable when tethering Great question. It is a great question. Yes and no. I think technically I think technically, the only supposed to go six feet can I get up and walk around going to, no matter what. So sorry, guys, I'm gonna go grab these products. I was gonna grab them because I use them all the time and they are life savers not to have. So I have extra cables all the time. There are products that will add active links into USB so that it will actually stabilize the power on the USB cable that you will give you that extra long cable. So now I can take this length and go another 15 feet with it so you can go longer. You can go 30 feet. You can go. Plus, if you have a battery in between, there is a little piece that actually adds a battery to one of these cables. Um, that gives you power and powers and give stable battery life through it. There's, Ah, FireWire boosters that will let you go every foot and make another tether. So there's lots of different devices on the market that will stabilize the power, even though USB, by default will only go a certain length. Right? So yes, yes, and again there's lots of company. Tele jewels is a great company out. They're really good people, and I would really like to support this people. They're that good to work with, right? So the solution is not to buy a really meaty, long USB cable or something. No, don't go to that box mover and get one. That's when you don't That's absolutely, I told a briefing earlier. I actually knew that because I grew up with an older brother who's electrical engineer. So when I first mentioned tethering to when I asked him about, that gave me a long, detailed speech about that. That's how I learned about that. So, yeah, that's a good call. It's a very good question. Yes, that's an excellent question. That is, honestly, that is what we deal with trouble shooting all the time. No one that's about wireless. There's a brand new device to that, actually again, if you if you plug it into the wall. If you had a C or D. C. Power to this link into into your your system, you then constabulary is the power through that bus, and that will give you longer links.

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.
