HELP! Who can match My Aperture workflow?
Hi all I'm new to CP1X and my trial expires TODAY and really need to know if I'm going to buy or not.
I am a longtime Aperture user, I LOVE that program and haven't found anything as good for the way I like to work, some people (over in the LR forums) say its never going to happen. I created a video showing off the way I work in Aperture. If someone can duplicate what I did in the UI (and not more) in this video to one of the images I would GREATLY appreciate it! *Note: I use the keyboard and brushes a lot. Speed and intuitively is most important to me.
Here is my Aperture workflow video: https://vimeo.com/222665966/63a0e10d9a
Here are a few of the files I worked with: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/d50dpfbhb1y1 ... WuFha?dl=0
Thanks in advance!!
PS: I'm asking the same at the Adobe LR forums on FB.
PPS: In Aperture things are simple and out of the way, I found CP1X so far to be very similar UI but also very bloated unnecessarily and would like to make it vastly more simple on the UI side if possible (AKA PhaseOne can you please copy Aperture more and photoshop less in basic functionality).

I'll watch your video, but a quick suggestion:
Create your own C1 Custom Workspace (very easy to do). In it create 3 tool tabs:
1. Library: analogous to Aperture's Library pane, except that you don't want to include the Filters tool because it slows some things down, hence tab 2 is...
2. Filters—mine only contains the Filters tool
3. Editing—analogous to Aperture's Adjustments pane. Add whichever tools you want in whichever order you want them. Some of C1's tools have different names, but you can pretty much duplicate Aperture's tools in C1. And unlike Aperture, you can put the tools in any order.
Suggestion: while you're at it, customize the main toolbar and at least add the Workspace tool so you can switch workspaces without having to have the menubar visible (eg in Full Screen mode).
Save the workspace. Also remember that if needed, you can always rearrange the tools in a workspace or add/remove other tools and then revert to the saved workspace at any time. I find this MUCH more useful than Aperture's rigid tool order.
In fact, I work with several custom workspaces. I've got one for reviewing, another for editing, and another for tethered shooting. I have similarly named, but differently configured workspaces for my MBP and my dual-monitor Mac Pro.
If you don't know how to create a custom workspace, check the documentation and/or Phase One's blog. It's really very easy.0 -
Thank you for that, and I'm definitely hoping you watch the video too because its that speed of workflow that I'm really concerned about.
To put it simply I guess its just an issue of speed and brushes. I work in weddings and cull thousands of images, but the main edits I do are 50-100 blogged photos. In these images I call up Apertures brushes very quickly, for example I'll think "I need sharpening in the eyes" and i'll hit "S" on the keyboard and quickly brush it in (without messing with sliders), and I do the same with dodge, burn, saturation, skin softening, heal/clone brushes, etc..
That's my workflow, and I just don't want it taking forever making layers and modifying sliders.
My issue with CP1's workflow as I see it, is LAYERS.. seriously why? Its an unnecessary extra step (or few extra steps to be honest).
So perhaps here's the real question: is there a way to avoid creating layers and just have preset brushes for individual tasks (without mucking around with sliders)?
Thanks again.0 -

Answer: no. Adjustments in Capture One affect the whole image unless you make it a local adjustment, and Capture One shows those as "layers". However those are not the same thing as layers in an app like Photoshop. I have tried Lightroom, and found that there are local adjustments in LR too (can't remember if that is what they called them). One of the things I definitely preferred in C1 was that it was easy to see where and what my local adjustments were - so for example if I sharpened the eyes, I could see where I had done that because there would be a "layer" that I could rename as "Eyes" and a mask that I could toggle on and off to show the area I had affected, and I can toggle the layer on and off.
By the way, you can create a layer just by starting to paint a mask on the background. So if the background layer is selected, just hit "B" for brush and start painting in on the eyes or wherever. C1 creates a layer when you do.

Sounds like you need to learn how to use C1's layers and how to customize the keyboard shortcuts.
I find C1's (and even LR's) brushes to be more flexible than Aperture's because a brush (applied to a C1 layer, or in LR as a targeted adjustment) can include multiple adjustments and the brush settings (size, softness or feathering, opacity, flow and so on) are more flexible.
Capture 1 brush default shortcut is "b". Haven't you noticed that a lot of C1's tools display shortcuts next to the tool choice in the menu and in the toolbar selections?
Look under the Capture One menu (next to the Apple menu) and check out "Edit Keyboard Shortcuts". Also look at the Image Professor's Blog and check out the C1 YouTube channel. I think it's also covered adequately in the manual.0 -
Nature Isme, no I don't find these tools to be very good, again I'm concerned about speed, and Layers is a completely dumb method of using brushes. Did you actually know how to use Aperture?
Why in the world would I want to muck around with sliders and be "more flexible" when I just want to get to work with the one tool I want.
For example in Aperture I hit "D" and I get a "Layer" automatically applied and simply start using the tool I called up (in that case it's DODGE).. if I wanted a new Dodge "layer" I could do that in Aperture too, but it all happens seamlessly, without needing unnecessary steps.
From what I've gathered from using CP1 is that in some ways its flexible, but to its own stupidity. This app isn't smart or intuitive; for example in Aperture if I zoom in 100% I don't need to select the grab tool to move, if by default I haven't selected another tool (like a brush etc) it will automatically understand if I click the image to change the tool to a grab tool so I can navigate. So who's writing this software anyway, because I'd like to buy it, but I don't want to be dumbed down to use it.0 -

..That workflow is completely unnecessary and takes extra steps away from actual work. Did you watch my video? If you had you'd notice I don't need "layers" to know what Ive done, that's because Aperture sandboxes its brushes, which is far more intelligent IMO. I could sharpen the eyes, and if I wanted another sharpen brush I could add another sharpen brush (as many as I want) but generally I would just adjust all my sharpening in just one sharpen brush tool. Doing it CP1's way is like working with peanut butter.[quote="Ian3" wrote:

Yes I discovered that right away.. however again its completely ineffective the moment I want to do another brush.. since it doesn't automatically organize my brushes.. I then have to LABEL, a Layer; then CREATE a NEW LAYER, select my BRUSH OPTIONS, before I can actually work.. that's at 3-6 steps vs. 1 step in Aperture. DUMB!!!!
Honestly this mentality doesn't make me feel very confident about buying and completely selling out to Capture One. 😕0 -
You have two choices. Stick to Aperture or change your way of working. But, it's dump to expect, that other company's software will work exactly like your own prefered one. 0 -

Its also dumb to not give proper feedback when things could be better.. or is it just that no one knows better?
Can you tell me why when I zoom in at 100% the software doesn't go to where my mouse is? is that useful? Why wouldn't a more intelligent design be a better choice.
And to answer your comment, from what I've gathered I am not going to move forward with Capture One; I will stay with Aperture until Capture One gets its act together in the UI with a more Intelligent design of human interface.
Peter, you don't have to put up with extra steps.0 -
Hey Guys!
Want to know when Capture is going to come out with a full software version for ipad? I asked a few times on their instagram. Their social media intern was pretty rude. I know you guys have been working a one way version for around 20 yrs. but why not expand? Affinity Photo by Serrif was able to do it. Why not you guys? Whats stopping you from getting more customers? I use an ipad pro due to being cheaper then a macbook pro as well as easier to travel with and lighter to carry. Capture works with wacom. Which is basically an ipad pro. Can one of the top Boss/CEO feel free to take this one instead of one of the disgruntled employees please?0 -

Hey mate, not sure what this has to do with my Aperture workflow topic, but I'm assuming you are referring to the use of brushes? Even if I had a tablet or iPad Pro and pen, it still wouldn't clear the issue of too many steps to use multiple brush tools and calling them up again.0 -
To those posting here who would like to discuss this with the Phase One developers ....
This is a User to User forum, primarily, so if you want to open a technical discussion about design features and the social media routes don't work for you the other option is to create a Support Case and register your request. That way it is, we are told, officially considered by the management team responsible for product development.
Or you could just continue to be abusive on here about other people's design concepts whilst using a product that, to adopt your communication style, is so great that the developers were dumb enough to decide they might as well annoy all of their loyal (and indeed captive to the technology) users by stopping development and offering a more "modern" alternative for the 21st century generation. Odd that so many people seem to want to use something else, is it not?
Why don't you petition Apple to reinstate Aperture development and then tell them how it should be done?
Did I see that you have some sort of relationship with Canon? Maybe you could use your influence to persuade them to improve the usability of their software and so cut out the third parties completely. In fact there must be a lot of stuff they could do in camera for automated enhancements for wedding and portrait photographers that would save even more time.
Your other option would be to simply employ people to do that stuff for you - let others do the dumb work with whatever dumb software is available one Aperture becomes unusable.0 -
Well, I almost didn't watch NNN636179069410610679's video after the derogatory "don't you know how to use Aperture" comment (I actually DO know how, but I guess I've been able to adapt to other applications...).
I'll suggest again that NNN636179069410610679 read some documentation and/or watch some of C1's videos. Other than slightly different workflow, I don't see much that can't be done just as quickly in C1 as the video shows in Aperture. A tablet would be really helpful, though. Then try:
Aperture Capture 1
Simple tool layout Create a custom workspace with the few tools you want. Really easy to do. Be suret to save the
workspace.
Z key V, then double-click on the area you want to zoom to; double click again to zoom out
little navigator When zoomed and the Hand tool (shortcut: h) is selected, right-click to expose a mini-navigator at the
cursor location, then drag as you wish.
Specific brushes Try making layers for Dodge, Burn, Sharpen, and other individual controls you want. You can't assign
keyboard shortcuts to the layers, but you CAN assign exposure and other values to the brushes and
then Copy/Paste the adjustments to other images, at which time you can set the brush attributes
(size, feather, opacity, flow, etc.) by right-clicking after hitting "b" (yes, C1's got keyboard shortcuts).
You can even streamline a lot if you program the keys on a Wacom tablet.
v to change There are 3 little icons on the C1 window that you can click on to change the view. I haven't checked,
browser view but you may even be able to assign a shortcut. Or just create a couple of custom workspaces.
Change brush size You can do the same thing in C1 if you have a tablet and program the ring for whatever you want.
Of course with a tablet, just pressing harder/softer changes brush size very easily.
So: after patiently watching your video, other than making what seem to me to be relatively small adjustments to your workflow, it looks to me like you can pretty much duplicate what you're doing in C1 and even improve over Aperture with layers that combine adjustments, like Sharpen, Clarity and Structure, where you'd set the sliders and then use Opacity, Flow, and maybe Airbrush to control the density you apply.
Or just continue using Aperture. I've already noticed small breakages in the program in 10.11.6, and no new RAW formats have been supported since Sierra was released, but heck; if you're happy, aren't inclined to really learn a new program, and your clients are pleased, then just stick with Aperture as long as it continues to work.0 -

I'm not being abusive, I'm a tester looking for answers. If I think its dumb that I want a better workflow then clearly that's my opinion, I have counted the steps and clicks it takes to do many of the things in CP1.. and yes its dumb. Sorry. As for being odd that so many people use another program other than Aperture, well it was left hanging for years and that frustrated a lot of people (myself included), what's funny tho is there are many many loyal fans of Aperture who would love its return, and its even possible the professional userbase could still be as large as CP1s growing user base.[quote="SFA" wrote:

UGh.. done it a bazillion times. I've even reached out to Randy Ullbios to see if he would independently release a new "aperture" but I have a feeling even tho he's no longer with Apple he has his hands tied.. or just doesn't care and is enjoying retirement.[quote="SFA" wrote:

Thank you for your constructive feedback, I have customized many of the Keyboard shortcuts and menus, but haven't found what I'm looking for that eliminates the most # of moves yet.. But I will try and re-try all that you mentioned above.
Just so you know I wasn't frustrated at you or anyone in this post, I just like to work fast. Simply put I just wanted clarity on if its "flexible" workflow was really that flexible to adapt to my way of editing, which is keyboard & brush based. I have already watched a lot of videos and never really saw anyone using Brushes quickly (like a simple dodge / burn or sharpen) which is why I took to the forums. I still feel CP1's Achilles' heel is its Layer system for brushes. I still find a tremendous amount of growing room in the refinement of CP1, its far from the right application for me in its current state, but I will keep my eye on it and continue to send feedback requests, thank you again for the helpful feedback, I'll let you know how it goes as I implement these.
BTW do you know if adding a new layer (brush) is keyboard assignable?0 -
Oh and no I don't think I can make "add layer" a keyboard shortcut ☹️
For the record incase anyone cares, its 6-7 steps PER BRUSH in Capture One vs. Aperture’s 0-1 step process. That's really bad.0 -
You can running V9 and Windows. I doubt that V10 and Mac are much different. You can also set up keys for Clone and Heal layers specifically.
I don't have a running V10 installation I can check on right now.
B key (to "Burn") will start a layer (default setting). Right click to access brush size, etc.
However it is possible that this only works when adding the first layer. If you need to work with multiple layers for different tool combinations in different places probably need a hot key.
HTH.
Grant0 -
Grant,
"b" is just the shortcut for the Brush (aka Draw Mask) tool. W you hit 'b', C1 creates a new adjustment layer. But after that, 'b' either activates the Brush tool on the layer you're working on, or if working on the background layer it activates the Brush tool on the topmost layer in the stack.
However: I just looked through ALL of the customizable commands by expanding all options (I sure wish Phase One would just publish the complete list!) and discovered that we CAN assign keystrokes to create new Adjustment, Clone and Heal layers. It's just that no shortcut is assigned by default.
Now that I know this (and have made screenshots of all available commands, just so I know what's available), I'm going to assign shortcuts to these and some other commands.
And before someone asks, no...I'm not going to convert my dozens of screenshots into a text list. There are way too many commands available for that!0 -

You don't have to use B, it was just an example of a default key that might be of some use to the OP if keys are the preferred option.
The point was that there is a way to do pretty much what was described for Aperture functionality BUT only once - although multiple tools can be used for the resulting layer, as we know.
For other masks new layers would be required and so to instigate that by short-cut would require the short-cut key combination to be defined.
However it's not the same as the OP described. And multiple tools on a single layer might not be what he wants.
As I recall one of the Phase crew (Ben?) suggested he was going to look into documenting the shortcuts more fully a few weeks ago.
I thought at the time it was a brave project to take on ..... 😉
Presumably it would, if authorised, need to go through approved quality processes and approval before being made public so I would not really expect to see anything launched on unsuspecting users through the forum ... but you never know, it might happen that way.
As for the suggested enhancement - yep, nice enough though possibly more of a graphics pixel editor sort of tool (assumes the use of brushes) in terms of the origins of current applications that offer it like that. I wonder if Apple have a patent on the "method"?
Grant0 -
I agree with this.. I just started the trial and I'm also coming from Apple Aperture and am finding Capture One's brushes tedious at best in comparison, there needs to be more feedback about this issue, but perhaps your right maybe apple owns the patent to implement good brush tools 😂 ☹️ Oh and where's the feather brush? doesn't exist yet right? 0 -
The trouble is that Aperture and Capture One are not the same! A lot of previous Aperture users come to the forum here and ask why Capture One can't behave like Aperture, but it isn't the same app, and in my view, and I think in the view of a lot of Capture One users, we don't want it to be changed to be more like Aperture. (Not that we don't sometimes want it to be changed, of course - there are features that it would be nice to have, though we don't all agree about those.)
I have not used Aperture. But as far as I can tell, there was a feature in Aperture allowing you to brush in adjustments to affect just part of your image. I found it described here
I can see the attraction of working like that. But Capture One works in a different way, and it has it advantages too. For instance it seems to me (correct me if I am wrong) that if I wanted to make adjustments to a model's eyes in a portrait
- in Aperture I might brush in some sharpening, then brush in some saturation, then brush in some brightness (so I have to brush three times)
- in Capture One, I might brush to select the eyes (once only) then adjust the sharpening, saturation and brightness for that area.
So in Aperture there are some things you have to do more than once, too. In some situations one approach might be the most intuitive, or effective, or time-saving, and in other situations the other might have the advantage. It's a bit like asking "Why can't my new Canon do <name your future here> like my Nikon used to?" They both do a good job, but you get used to one way of working. (Put a Canon in my hands, and I am horribly confused and can't work out how to do all sorts of things that I find quick and easy on a Nikon, although I know that a Canon must have a way of doing them, and I also know that many Canon users love them and wouldn't change to a Nikon.)
So this is by way of saying that I don't think that the quest to replicate an Aperture workflow is a fruitful one. The apps both achieve good results in different ways. If you have to use a different app, you have to get used to its way of working. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, no doubt. But I for one would hope that Phase One don't change Capture One to work like Aperture - I've got used to using Capture One over the years!

What do you mean by "feather brush"?
Woould that not be a Photoshop sort of activity rather than RAW conversion and core editing competence?
As for patents, Apple has a track record of having described and claimed patents that are so generic in nature that they could cover just about anything vaguely related to the function they aspire to have invented. They are not alone. Many large organisations in the tech sphere seem to have that over the years, often for ideas that have been around and in general use, absent any patents, for a long time. It has nothing to do with the quality of efficacy of the "product". It may, in some cases, have something to do with $$$.
Grant0 -
From a former Aperture User, yes I miss some things that became automatic and quick. The real issue here is Now What?
Aperture us done. Apple is not going to rewrite it from scratch in Swift code. So we need to figure out how to do the adjustments in our photography going forward. Many of us have chosen C1. You have to admit the RAW processing is IMO significantly better than Aperture.
Remember BetaMax? It was far superior to VHS but it ended taking up a lot of space in the landfill sites. The C1 community has lots of resources to help new users find their way. As with all good, complicated programs, there is often more than one way to accomplish the task.
Cheers and good luck/0 -

Have you used Aperture much? I would say it is still #1 when it comes to DAM and Brushes. If you watch any portion of the original persons video he shows off the brushes pretty well I guess, Apple makes all their brushes localized to one task (i.e. dodge; burn; sharpen) and ANYTHING can become a brush with unlimited # of brushes. When a brush is used a HUD (heads up display) automatically appears giving the user three brush modes (standard brush, feather brush or erase tool), along wth a few sliders and options to inverse brush, show overlay etc.. The feather brush tool is amazing, its better than using photoshop because it dynamically softens the edge of your initial brush strokes, take for example you applied too much or just want one area of an edge softened, Aperture's tools make it very fast and efficient, and no I never used photoshop unless I needed to Liquify or do some very complex masking, Aperture in every other way (still is) much faster, easier and just as competent in the final result.0 -

Not at all, hence the question.
Nor Macs for that matter - at least not since I was working on a contract about 20 years ago and the company had a MAC only policy. Due to lack of business software for Apples they moved to PC, worldwide, not long after my contract started.
I never did work out what was going ion with the MAC on my desk.
The brush you describe sounds rather like what C1 does with masking and the Hardness setting as an initial choice or for revision purposes using the erase option.
However I have no doubt that we all like whatever we have become used to over a period of time. Also that in some cases one approach might well be a better or easier approach then another. It would be nice to have them all available, though I suspect horribly complicated to program effectively and many users might just become so confused they give up.
I have yet to come across a product oriented forum where the posters have not included those who think a certain way of doing something is great and others who think the same thing is terrible.
Such is the way of the world.

well no, Aperture still has those hardness settings for initial choices and the eraser. The feather brush does't remove parts of the mask like the erase tool, but instead it continues the smoothness in the current mask, which allows you to be more flexible and, dare I say it.. imperfect on your initial brush application; its fast and kind of magical 😜 💡
Here, if seeing is believing check this out:
Can C1 do the same thing with the erase and brush options? yes.. but you have to be a lot more accurate and lots of going back and forth between settings and brush/erase to get these results. Also the idea that the HUD continuously stays open with my brush options is a very nice feature and saves me from right clicking as in C1. Would be very nice indeed to see these features roll into the next C1 update.0 -

+1 or probably 100s of people.
At least give us an update or a preview or Beta for some of us really keen for this workflow to test.
My workflow has recently become iPad Pro and Lightroom mobile for location shooting .
And that in turn is turning me to use Lightroom in the studio more .
I only use capture one now when I have to tether and see/ do a grade , otherwise I can use canon connect to wirelessly see images shot , then import to Lightroom mobile . The sync feature is amazing . Also being able to make a really slick looking web gallery in seconds to send to clients is great.
And while it may be not be fully featured just yet , it is great to work on my iPad , a really nice interface.
Give it a try .
Also affinity photo are working on a mobile iOS Lightroom type product , which will be very interesting to see.
Capture One , don’t be blinkered and count on your users to stay. - the laptop / tablet market is changing really quick and
other developers are jumping on it quicker. Plus there’s anew generation at collect and fresh semi pros that don’t know of C1’s legacy (and it’s pricing is putting them off )
So there’s a huge new potential market if they get it right.0
