After years working in Apple’s Aperture 3, which is no longer being developed, I’m transitioning to Capture One Pro. Through many tutorials, reading forums, and working in the application, the transition I once abhorred is now one I relish. There are so many resources out there, especially Capture One’s YouTube page, but my take focuses on filling the gaps.
Capture One 20 Pro 13.1.3.13 (x64) Multilingual + Keygen-AMPED 469.34 MB Capture One continues to lead the way in RAW file image editing. Expertise from creating customized color profiles for more than 400 cameras, combined with our relentless dedication to creative freedom has brought recognition to Capture Ones workflow, our exceptional color handling, and precision editing tools. I work on a Mac with all my tools (Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, NIK tools, and Luminar) in the Dock. I manage raw files in Lightroom, convert selects to tifs in Capture One, process them with the appropriate NIK tools and use Photoshop for healing, cloning and sizing.
David Grover is the man and invests a ton of time into creating live and recorded webinars. I highly recommend watching as many of those as possible.
Capture One is developed by the amazing camera company, Phase One, so they know how us photographers think. They have a vested interest in developing software for the industry they know so well. It’s what they do, so who better to look after the needs of (professional) photographers?
The following is a list of how my workflow is established. This includes the concepts that have been the most helpful to me in switching to Capture One full time. If you want to start learning without taking any risk, create a test library and follow along!
Transitioning Libraries from Aperture to Capture One
For starters, Capture One can read Aperture libraries or import them into a Capture One catalog. They are definitely different applications but extremely similar in core thinking which is great. Most image adjustments transfer from Aperture to Capture One with the notable exceptions being cloning adjustments and Smart Albums. Before making the jump, consider creating new Albums in Aperture and drag images from Smart Albums into those if you want your organization to remain the same. Aperture organized my photographs in Managed Libraries, one for each calendar year, and I can use Catalogs in Capture one to do the same.
One feature that drove me crazy and I could not figure out from Capture One’s plethora of helpful tutorials is that Projects do not directly contain photographs in Capture One as they would in Aperture. Images are stored in Collections. Under User Collections, there you will find the most control and create your own organizational structure. Projects or folders must contain an Album for photographs to live. In some instances, this makes a lot more sense because images can be stored/linked in multiple groupings. By using memory cards, I import into Albums within the Project for rating, then move them out after they’re rated. Images can be rated with stars (1-5) or color labels, but there’s not a flag feature. Keywords can be used in Capture One 9.2.
Backing Up in Camera
Whether it’s my D4, D3, or D7100, each of my cameras are set up to copy photographs to both memory cards (of the same storage capacity), simultaneously for an in-camera backup. When I back up, I separate one of each pair of cards using a Think Tank Pocket Rocket tethered to my belt loop for safe keeping. Then the Think Tank has everything I need when I get to my MacBook.
Importing & Image Organization in Capture One
I store photographs in annual Capture One Catalogs stored on a RAID 5 Thunderbolt Enclosure. Hob types I organize virtually in folders like Commercial, Magazine, Product, Event, Personal, etc. within the Capture One library structure. Each job is named by date as a Project, with the relevant photographs being linked to an Album within that project. Smart Albums filter for criteria for final photographs, social media edits, etc. Capture One does not avoid importing previous adjustments.
Backing up with Capture One
While Capture One offers the ability to back up adjustments, it does not back up image files! A separate solution, Carbon Copy Cloner, will fill that void. Coming from Aperture, this was initially a deal breaker until I started doing more research. Aperture allows you to create multiple “Vaults” which backup your library, which you must manually initiate to backup.
Aperture Vaults are not workable libraries but read only backups that need to be rebuilt into a working library using Aperture. This can be potentially problematic down the road. Whenever Aperture is no longer functional on MacOS, restoring from a Vault is going to be a problem. I plan to create new 1:1 backups of libraries using Carbon Copy Cloner to replace Aperture Vaults.
In Carbon Copy Cloner you create tasks that automatically run backups of designated volumes or files to other volumes at automated intervals of your choosing. Capture One Catalogs are identically copied and are instantly writable/usable on the backup drive, something Aperture could not do. That’s well worth $39.99.
I created tasks to automatically back up my Capture One libraries onto an external drive that is always connected. Moreover, I created a second task to backup to another external drive through connection that is brought in for off site backup after each job.
A RAID 5 enclosure with multiple hard drives formatted as a single volume is still just one enclosure, stored in one location. While RAID 5 offers redundancy and performance across multiple hard drives, it is not a true backup.

Tethering with Capture One
Tethering is one of the strongest features in Capture One. Hereby, you connect a camera to a computer, usually by a long (15’) USB cable for consistency. You can control Exposure adjustments from the camera, so the camera can be entirely still for product or architectural photography. There is a live view feature which is massively helpful for composing, especially if a creative director or client are on hand. Images appear on the computer display automatically after capture, and there is an option to apply previous image adjustments to each sequential photograph which is a huge time saver. This is great for applying vertical or horizontal perspective adjustments on images made from a stationary camera, a significant feature Aperture lacked.
I will probably use Carbon Copy Cloner when photographing tethered since Capture One only saves image files locally on the computer. A USB drive for flash drive setup to backup a Session or Catalog with Carbon Copy Cloner would remedy that.

A part of tethering, this feature is insane. If connected on Wifi, you can share a server link that allows the viewer to follow along remotely as you photograph in their web browser. This is included in Capture One under the Capture Tab. There is an iOS App that can access the library, too, and a paid version to enable tether controls. This feature is so incredible. I can’t believe that it’s a) possible, b) included and c) so simple to use.

Helpful hints:Capture One tips that make your life easier
- Closing a Capture One catalog is not quitting the application.
- You have the possibility to open a new Catalog or Session in a new window, in order to have multiple libraries open at the same time. This was not possible in Aperture. You can do this under the settings ‘Preferences’ – General’.
- You can edit many keyboard shortcuts in Capture One to match up with those from Aperture, if desired. This makes the greatest difference in feeling at home in Capture One.
- The layout of Capture One is extremely modular and customizable. You can save Multiple workspaces to show the tools and organizational components you desire, whereever you want them. Editing workspaces is as simple as re-saving the workspace after making desired changes.
- Command B toggles the browser. Using multiple monitors, it is great having a custom work space on one display and the browser open to a full image on another.
- Export presets are the same as Recipes. Multiple Recipes can be ran simultaneously for different purposes.
- Capture One is optimized so you can work on multiple displays.
- Option to enable Focus Masks – show what’s in focus, similar to a highlight alert.
- It is possible to download Capture One film packs, with free samples, to apply analog film filters to photographs.

Wish List for Capture One
- “Do not import duplicates” on ingestion. This would be hugely helpful for shooting with a constant mix of tethered & untethered capture.
- Ability to display un-editable preview instead of full raw file for faster editing.
- Shortcut to toggle between two workspaces quickly. However, one can add a drop down to the toolbar. On multiple monitors this isn’t a big deal. On a 13” MacBook Pro it is.
- Before/After shortcut key or button to show the original image and the adjusted variant, as well as an option to preview a before/after per adjustment.
- Previously applied cloning adjustments carrying over from Aperture. The tool itself in Aperture was also much, much easier to use. Retouching skin, sensor dirt, to me now feels too complicated/time consuming.
- Create an album at Import Images screen.
- When moving photographs from one album to another in the viewer, dragging into the Tools menu automatically switches to the Library temporarily.
- Arrows on each end of an adjustment slider to incrementally change an adjustment by clicking.
- Designate Output Naming Counter start number to any number.

It is important to understand that Capture One and Aperture work differently but these features would be very beneficial to have.
Capture One Difficulties
Maybe it’s me but if anyone has suggestions on how to address these challenges or to make any of those items on the wish list a reality, please let me know. I spend countless hours in post production mode and every improvement would save a great deal of time. As a disclaimer, I’m running MacOS 10.12 Beta/Golden Master, which is a risk I don’t recommend. Some of these challenges may be the result of the OS.
1) From my main catalog, I exported a project as a new library to edit (choose) and manually sorted images in a specific order on my MacBook Pro away from my desk.
When I reimported my catalog into my main catalog, my images were sorted by Name. Choosing manual did not revert to the order I created. So, I had to resort the images in Capture One all over again.
2) Crashes. After each crash, you lose the last few adjustments made.
3) I want to be able to give images a job name with a counter when exporting. However, I can’t find a way to set (not reset, but designate) the starting number for the counter. Normally, I export in chunks to upload in the background and not having the ability to set that counter to a designated number slows that workflow down tremendously.
Why I didn’t do this sooner, but totally should have
The hard part was in breaking old habits, as there’s a level of confidence in sticking with what we know. It’s a risk making a change, especially if that’s your bread and butter, and it took time to get there. Over the last five years, I’ve turned around weddings consistently in a week and I was hesitant to take one step back for what’s been leaps forward. My security blanket came from previously working at Apple, being pro certified in Aperture and as an Apple Certified Mac Technician. I had to step away from what I knew in order to grow, and should have been using Capture One years ago.
Final Thoughts
Capture One 9.2 is an extremely deep application. It can do many things found in Aperture, as well as many features you’ll wish you had years ago. While it’s different at its core, from a host of professional features to a RAW interpreter that is second to none, making the switch to Capture One is very worth the effort. I’ve heard Capture One is like getting a free camera upgrade in terms of quality and that’s absolutely been my experience. It is exciting to utilize software that is alive & well, improving with time, and offering feedback that will be heard.

As many of us are aware, Capture One have launched their complete support for Fujifilm cameras. Most surprisingly, this even includes the GFX line of cameras. Several versions of the software are available ranging from the free version supporting only Fujifilm cameras to a fully featured version supporting cameras from various manufacturers. In version 12, support was added for Fujifilm’s Film Simulations, so now we have a workflow that is Fujifilm specific!
Capture One takes a slightly different approach to Digital Asset Management (DAM) than many other software packages, so we’ll begin there as it is a source of confusion for many. The two basic ways you can have Capture One take care of your files are called Sessions and Catalogs. Catalogs are a familiar way of working for many but lack some key features that Lightroom and others have, such as easily importing and exporting between catalogs. Sessions, on the other hand, are self-contained folders that are designed to keep a specific shoot or project neat and tidy. Thus, the main difference between catalogs and sessions for our purposes is their intent. A catalog is designed more as an archive, whereas a session is designed to be a contained unit of a particular project or session.
Today, we’ll focus primarily on the Session workflow, which is how Capture One was originally designed. If you are interested more in how the catalogs work, the Capture One YouTube channel has an excellent video on the differences between the two. The basic workflow of sessions is create, import, select, post-process, export, backup. Within these, there are multiple ways to achieve most steps and plenty of customisation to be had along the way. Today’s focus will be getting the images into Capture One, organising them, and getting them out for delivery.
When you create a new Session (CTRL<CMD> + N), you’ll be presented with a dialog that allows you to customise the folders Capture One will automatically create for your workflow. These are based around a typical studio workflow and are designed to keep an entire project self-contained. We’ll be using this structure in a more generic way, so we can leave the values as they are. Just give the session a name and place it in the physical location on your hard drive that you would like to store it. Capture One will then create its session file and 4 primary subfolders in that folder. Now we’re ready to bring in some images.
There are a few ways to bring images into a Capture One Session, but the simplest and easiest way to keep everything self-contained is by placing them in the “Capture” folder (one of the 4 subfolders inside your session folder). You can do this via tethered capture, or simply dragging and dropping existing files into the Capture subfolder. Note that this is not a recursive operation, so Capture One will not watch additional subfolders within the Capture subfolder. Those need to be added manually as Session Favourites. For now, let’s keep it simple and have all images we wish to import placed in the Capture subfolder. Kcncrew pack 06 15 11 ubk download free.
Capture One is set to automatically watch that folder and will begin bringing in images immediately and generating previews. For Lightroom users, here is where you will notice an extreme difference in Capture One. Adobe after effects 2020 v17 0 1. This process is exceptionally quick.
If you’re containing a single set of images within this Session, your next step is very straightforward. You need to select the images you want to post-process. Working in the way Capture One would like you to, you can make those selections using CTRL<CMD> + J. This will send (physically move on disk) the currently selected image to the Selects subfolder that was created with your Session. However, that does mean that in order to remove that from the selection, you’ll need to go into the Selects folder and move it back to the Capture folder. This also makes it difficult to compare a selected image with a non-selected image as Capture One does not allow you to show images from multiple folders at the same time.
It is for this reason that I choose to use colour tags to rate my images. You could also use star ratings to the same effect. This way, my images stay in the Capture folder and I can choose to show either my selection or the whole collection at a moment’s notice using filters to make comparisons if needed. For me, this is a more efficient way of working.
If you’re planning to use Sessions more like Lightroom’s catalog system (multiple folders of images in one Session), you can achieve a similar result by using Session Albums. After your images are imported into the session (Step 1), create a new Session Album and drag the images you want in that album there. This will allow you to quickly filter to images from just one set. It is important to note that these albums are just references within Capture One. You are not physically moving files on disk by doing this. From here, you can follow the steps above to make your selections within those Albums.
If you like to clean up your rejected images as you go, there are two ways to delete files in Capture One Sessions. You can physically remove the files from disk by using ALT<OPT> + DEL. This deletes them the same way your operating system does. You can also use CTRL<CMD> + DEL. This will move them to the Session Trash subfolder. This is great if you may want to retrieve them later. You can also permanently empty this trash folder at any time (recommended when you get to the backup stage as you’ll likely no longer want those files).
Here again, there are myriad options for all types of photographers, but we’ll focus on the new Fujifilm specific option in Capture One 12: using Film Simulations.
In Capture One, basic interpretations of raw files are set in the Base Characteristics tool. If you don’t see this in any of your tabs, right click in an empty area to add the tool. Once your camera is selected in the ICC Profile (usually done automatically), the Curve list will populate with all of the different Film Simulations Capture One Supports for your camera.
The first item in the list is “Auto.” This will automatically apply the curve for the Film Simulation you used while making the photo if it can be detected. There are also Film Extra Shadow, Film High Contrast, Film Standard, and Linear Response curves in the list. These are Capture One’s built-in interpretations of your Fujifilm raw file.
In order to select a different film simulation from the one you were working with at the time of capture, all you need to do is open the drop-down menu and click it. It is always a good idea to check this value as an initial step in your post-production workflow. This is especially true if you work with Capture One Styles as most of these will not select a new Curve as a base for their colours, so your Styles may not look as you intended them (consider if you were working in Acros while photographing and then apply what should be a colour Style over the top – you will simply get a tinted monochrome image).
From my tests, these curves are extremely close to Fujifilm’s own Film Simulations. Across the board, Capture One’s curves seem to produce a slightly brighter, slightly more saturated look. However, small differences like that are easy to correct if you so desire.
There are two basic ways to get images out of Capture One for web, print, or delivery. The first is using the Export Variants option. This is great if you’re only exporting a single set at a time and only need one output file. For example, if you want to export both social media resolution and print or archive resolution at the same time, Capture One will override your first export with your second. So, we’ll focus on the more robust tool, the Process tool.
By going into the Process tab, you are given all of your export options and can make as many presets (Process Recipes) as you would like (these can be selected simultaneously as well). Once you click process, everything is exported using all the Recipes you have selected. A good example of how to use this is my family session deliveries. I have two Recipes set up that export two different resolutions (smaller files for online use and larger ones for print use). These are both set to export to my Session’s Output Location sub-folder. By storing them here, they’re also contained within the Session folder. This means when I back up, the exported files will be backed up as well. If a client asks for the files down the road or I want to blog the session, I don’t even need to open Capture One in order to access them. I already have pre-made jpegs ready for delivery or online use.
This is where Capture One sessions are great. If you noticed, I encouraged you to use Capture One’s pre-made folders all the way through this workflow. That way, when it comes to backup time, you can simply drag and drop the Session folder onto your preferred archive drive and everything from your imported files to your delivered jpegs will be backed up in one self-contained folder.
As you can see, Sessions are a great way to work with your Fujifilm images. With Capture One’s implementation of Fujifilm’s Film Simulations, it has become a great choice for Fujifilm photographers now. Please let me know in the comments if you have any workflow or adaptation issues with Capture One. I’m happy to try and answer your questions! If you have any suggestions for Capture One users, drop them below as well! We’d love to hear how you make use of this software.
