Phase One will begin offering image adjustment presets for its Capture One Pro editing software. Presets will be sold in Styles Packs, each with 15 to 18 individual Styles. Each Style applies automatic adjustments to an image without touching parameters like white balance and exposure – Phase One emphasizes there's plenty of latitude for the user to adjust an image to taste before and after a Style is applied. Phase One is offering a bundle of five styles free of charge if you'd like to try before you buy.
We've been flooded with new followers. Thank you so much.:) we'll keep you posted on new styles and inspirational images. #photo #c1styles.

Phase One Releases Capture One Styles Packs Designed to accelerate the creative process COPENHAGEN, June 8, 2017 - Phase One today announced Capture One Styles Packs. Applying a specific Capture One Style to a selected image transforms its ‘look and feel’ by implementing multiple image adjustments, without affecting key capture parameters such as exposure, white balance or levels.
Each Style offers users plenty of scope – both before and after applying it – to further edit the image. One click offers Capture One Style users the opportunity to accelerate their creativity and improve their image editing process. A Capture One Styles Pack contains up to 18 different Styles focused on a specific theme. This flexible offering builds on recent enhancements in Capture One Pro 10.1, such as an easier preview of large style collections and nested style collections. It is designed to deliver greater speed and efficiency when editing multiple images. Ease of use has been a central design consideration for Capture One Styles Packs, which make them suitable for all photographers – from experienced users to those who are just beginning to work with Capture One. Capture One Styles Packs released today include:.
Cinematic – 18 unique Styles. B&W – 15 unique Styles. Matte – 16 unique Styles. Seasonal – 15 unique Styles.
Essentials – 16 Styles compiled from the above Styles Packs. 5 Styles are available for download as a free sample package For Styles examples and usage guidelines, please see: phaseone.com/styles Pricing and Availability Styles Packs for Capture One Pro 10.1 are available now at the Phase One e-store: Each Styles Pack, containing 15-18 styles, for Windows and Mac operating systems is priced at 69 USD. A basic Styles Pack containing 5 Styles is available as a free trial. Capture One version 10.1 or newer is recommended for the best user experience. Version 10.1.2 is necessary for Capture One Express (for Sony) users.
The packs are simply installed with a double-click, importing via the new and improved Styles and Presets tool, or by dragging-and-dropping the Pack to the Capture One menu icon. I'm late to this, unfortunately, as I think there's considerable misunderstanding of the potential value of presets. Although I do agree the price should be lower, so that more could have the advantage. Capture One is most of all about subtlety, and this doesn't finish with the original results that many appreciate.
If you try on some of their excellent video lessons from differing professionals, you can get a real sense of the value in color grading, as an approach. You go for the best base image you can, of course.
But then, the ability to quickly scan through a wide group of presets often can really show something. I think the key is that these presets aren't simple color washes. Instead, they combine emphases, as well as gamma and exposure 'shoulder' treatments. The result is that you can find surprising emphasis of what may well be hiding, which can very much bring out the interest in a shot. Of course mood itself can be important also, and here the consistency of presets surely can be a big help for a display or publishing layout. A lot of discovery in both, and likely in other views. Capture One is particularly adept as a tool to find these, with both the 'scan through' ability of the presets, and its freeing variants creation enhancing also making a final selection.
Then, as easy to group apply to all the images out of a shoot as you want - as variants also, instantly arranged. I just did this, using the CM03 sample filter, on some late afternoon snaps around a coastal town. The originals weren't bad, but this brought out much more flavor of the moment, more depth dimensionality, and also the brilliance of many flowers - without disturbing the sky or smoothness. I think this you will not easily find such balances with sliders, nor be prepared as often to take the advantage.
The same reason why many professional photographers decades ago processed their own film. Such has nothing to do with 'self-respect' and everything to do with time, money, end-goal and personal preference.
Sometimes it's better/more efficient to outsource, sometimes it isn't. A part of being a photographer (or just a person using common sense) is the ability to know when it's best to do one over the other. Scores of people have money to have the cars washed weekly, but rather do it themselves. More than a few professional photographers would rather not send revealing photographs of their clients to 3rd party processors for obvious reasons. Utter ridiculous to hire 2 assistance to process a job when the respective job (and subsequent jobs like it) can be completed satisfactorily in-house.
I wish people would stop presupposing that just because someone shoots RED, Hasselblad or Phase that they don't do a lot of their own grading/post work when modern technology is increasingly making farming such work out unnecessary for many professionals. The reality is that a significant number people shooting Phase, Hasselblad or RED can't afford (or refuse to eat up their bottom line) to add employees or are actually employed or hired themselves by a contracting entity. It is common for many self-employed photographers/artists, shooter/owner of MF, to process their own work. I see a market for an array of presets, even though they may not appeal to me. I'm usually fairly supportive of Capture One, but I think they're late to the game with this and have got the pricing completely wrong. When you understand how presets work (you can make your own given a little time) the price looks cynical. I understand that C1 is probably the benchmark in image quality and workflow together, and these presets will no doubt push the boundaries for some people, but if the tiresome ubiquity of VSCO in lightroom is anything to go by then maybe Phase One might have come up with a more innovative module that perhaps better analyses individual images intelligently.
Otherwise it's just another filter in the end. Bottom line - if it improves workflow speed, then I'm up for it, but not if it flattens my images into a common denominator reference point. The same as everybody else's, etc. And ultimately, not at this price.
FWIW I think Aperture had a good, basic, simple to navigate interface - The Finder was particularly good, but then Apple gave up on Aperture and now that interface looks very outdated. C1 could do with an overhaul - you're right, but the functionality - the access points to tools is fairly good as it is, so there's probably not much that they can do. Better Floating toolsets would be good.
I Liked the tabbed 'Hud' that Aperture did so well. User changeable colours/skins for all windows.
Better Folder Management in Catalogs - perhaps tabs or a column view. Anyway, tweaking the interface would indeed be more meaningful than unnecessary and expensive presets.
