Tutorials and livestreams update – Hello from me, David
Pinned
Hello all!
Between Jack and myself we thought it would make sense to revive this part of the forum, as we agree is suffered from a lack of interaction on my part.
Therefore, I'd like to kick this off by letting you know about a few things coming up in July and also ask for your feedback!
July
July is very much a travel month for me which is fitting as we are moving into holiday / vacation season. However, this doesn't mean live-streaming will stop, on the contrary its pretty busy!
We start the month with a Color Editor Masterclass
I will be joined by our ambassador Paul Reiffer, and we will tag team it, digging into all the powerful options that live in the Color Editor.
If you never want to miss out, on the Livestream section of the forum, hit the FOLLOW button in the top right. This way whenever a new Livestream is posted you will be notified! I will do some updates later on today to make sure everything is current for the month of July.
Speaking of, this is also a good opportunity for myself and Paul to introduce our schedule for the rest of that month as we will be travelling to the Midwest of the USA for a content building trip.
These Livestreams will be hosted just on Youtube as we potentially might have to be a bit fluid with timing and adjusting that on our Livestream platform, Bigmarker, adds a layer of complexity we might not need whilst being chased by bears and Yosemite Sam.
Here's what's coming up on YouTube
July 13th - Jackson Hole. As we begin exploring Jackson Hole, we'll stop and reveal edited photos from two earlier photoshoots from the tour – showing the mesmerizing Chicago cityscape and Bonneville Salt Flats.
July 15th - Augmented Reality - In this Livestream, Soloman Smith, the visionary behind Smith and CO Galleries, will join David and Paul to cover the dynamic client-to-photographer workflow that drives their creative process.
July 19th - Yellowstone - David and Paul meet with Brian Creek, an Authorized Permittee of Yellowstone, wildlife and nature photographer, in this Midwest Livestream finale.
Please FOLLOW us on YouTube too and if you hit the NOTIFY bell next to any of those Livestreams you will know when we are live.
Feedback!
In some good news our team at Customer Success is growing from strength to strength which will mean more time to up date and refresh a lot of the tutorials and tool introductions that we have on Capture One.
If I can open up the discussion about these I would love your feedback.
- How is the format for you? (i.e Screen recording + voice over). Is there anything we can do to make it easier to follow or more instructive? Or does it work well as is?
- Guest educators. We have a very popular tethered tutorial created by Rob Grimm. I personally love this format too, so we could look to add more of the "visible instructor" type format if you agree this is valid.
- Anything else? What do we miss? Any other days you would like to see how the future of Capture One Learning content is shaped?
Anyway, thanks for reading my longer than intended post. :D
I hope to see you throughout July

Suggestion: I'd very much like to see a tutorial (or a live stream) on CP1 Noise Reduction.
(I recently had to use ISO 128,000 on my Fuji X-T5 due to very low light. The camera reviews say results at this ISO are "acceptable" but I'm sure that my image could be greatly improved by good use of this tool ).

Thanks for the feedback Simon. That is a good suggestion for me to look at.128,000 Is pretty high! What were you shooting out of interest?

A train, so needed a fairly high shutter speed. This is unedited except for resizing.

Simon Warren I almost think this shot would look cool with some motion/blur but not too much. Maybe 1/40s depending on how fast it's moving?
Seems to me that 128000 is definitely usable at this scale. Which still seems mad to me!

As Jack W says, if you can pan / capture with a low shutter speed that can make for a great shot.
If it's doing 200 km/h might be more of a challenge. :D

Motion blur is a useful suggestion though not easy to anticipate the speed of the target. My interest is the background location and composition is top important. Only a few steam trains pass in a year and always late evening. I took this shot for practice. The noise shows badly at 100 percent and does degrade the detail more than I'd like.

David must have posted at the same time as mine sent. I can't pan cos background must be recognisable, but motion blur might be great if the loco I was planning for is smoking enough.

Hello David,
And thanks for a lot of really nice videos, really helpful to give ideas how to better edit our images, for all situations :) Unfortunately few are in French, so I may not use the videos directly for our local photo-club here in the village, but it gives me good inspiration to show them some of the tricks I use on CO1, I have a friend illustrating Photoshop treatment too, as I have restricted myself to only one tool, as this is an occupation mostly for fun I have to minimise somewhat my expenses :)
I have one suggestion for a new video, I'm ending up making mostly "images for the web" or for my screen, but I'll want to try to get some of them printed too.
However, this is tricky as I really need to adapt the print settings to my selected "print house". Could you find a way to propose a video specifically on the set up a good print images relation with any preferred printing office. Suggestions how to send some test images, how to best analyse the result coming back, I'm sure there are good procedures how to minimise the print out of several tests as when you print out large, it becomes costly and you want it to be good at the first try.
I'm mainly doing landscapes now, but would like to get back to portraits too, and you might well have a few procedures for different image types.
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,

Suggestion for a livestream tutorial, entitled: 'Printing with Capture One'. Why? I can't find anything by Capture One that has been created in the lat 10 years, well, perhaps a little less, but very dated and things have moved on a ton.
So I'd suggest a livestream on printing with Capture one demonstrating the entire process from preparing the image in Capture One and getting it ready for print with the usual upping the exposure by a third of a stop or so to compensate for computer backlight as it will end on on paper, that reflects light. Covering installing the ICC profile for the paper/printer used, and use a quality printer like a Canon imagePROGRAF Pro model, for example, with a decent cotton rag paper.
This would be a superb tutorial or livestream. Come on guys, get those images out of cyberspace and onto paper, to make true 'art' where they belong.
Honestly, I can't find anything on printing from Capture One that covers the entire process from the original RAW file, editing, printing etc.
