Capture One is currently offering a free year worth of SmugMug with new purchases of Capture One Pro. More details after the jump.

I’ve been trying to spruce up my office for a while now, and I wanted to get some wall art printed to hang up behind my computer. As I had been going through some old projects and shoots, I came across an old set of images I had shot of NewYork to turn into a panorama, so I figured that would be a good option. So, below I will detail some of the steps I took when creating the finished image (above).

Luminar’s best-known party trick is its AI Sky Replacement, whether you love it or hate it, but it occasionally doesn’t work properly. I was recently playing around with an image from my archive, and I came across such a situation. Here’s the method I used to get around the problem.

I’ve had quite a few requests lately for tips on how to use Affinity Photo with Capture One for merging panoramas, and so I created a quick tutorial to show you my workflow for merging Panoramas using these two applications.

Capture One held a Livestream today in which they showcased some of what you can expect in the next update of the software. You can find the stream embedded after the jump.

Gentlemen coders recently released Raw Power Version 3.0. I've been interested in this application for a while, and I've been following its development. Raw Power is a Raw editing application that lets you take advantage of the capabilities of Apple's RAW engine, that is otherwise unavailable to the user. It's not perfect by any means, but with each release, they've added more and more capabilities. Version 3 adds a fascinating new ability if you're running it on Catalina, and if you're an Apple Photos user looking to get more power out of your RAW files, then this might be a solution for you. Read on to find out more.

On one of my trips to New York, back in 2009, I was walking through Central Park on a beautiful sunny day, and wandered across a baseball game. I had never seen a baseball game in real life before and was chuffed to see this, it being such an icon of Americana, and this only being my second trip to the country.

Being cooped up at home for over a month now, like many people I’ve resorted to going back over old photos and projects as something to do while we can’t go out and shoot. I was going through my archive and something made me start looking at some old New York photos. I have a lot of fond memories of visiting the city and so, I decided to put together a little trip down memory lane, with a little virtual exhibit.

If you don’t print your images, you may not have spent much time in Lightroom’s print module. The thing is, though, the print module is actually quite a useful and relatively easy to use layout tool, that can be used for more than just printing. A little while ago I posted about how to use it for framing your images to post to Instagram, but that’s just the start.

In this super short Capture One quick tip, I show you how to place a vignette behind an object in a scene using layers and the luma range tool.

Here are two quick tips for those working with Fuji Files and Capture One. The first is based on a question I got from a customer, regarding working with Jpeg files in Capture One. The second is about a quirk of the lens correction module and how to address it.

After a long winter, the days start to get longer, and the weather begins to warm up. Outside, nature begins to return to life, and there’s nothing more liberating for the soul after months of dark and cold days than enjoying the beauty of nature as Spring takes hold. Unfortunately, with the current situation of a global pandemic forcing half of the world to stay indoors, this isn’t something that we can really do this year. So I decided to go back through my old photographs of Spring and create a little virtual spring exhibition! 

Mylio has just received a pretty big new update. The latest version adds some significant new features and is available now. Also, the company recently changed its pricing levels.

One of the areas that causes people some consternation and confusion when using Capture One is the task of removing objects. In particular, some users have issues with the way clone and heal layers work. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the way you go about cloning and healing in Capture One, and how cumbersome a workflow it is. However, there’s one really simple tip that will speed up your workflow.

In this video, I use Photoshop to add some foreground interest to a Landscape image and correct an unbalanced composition. Part of my “Live Editing” session series normally for Patreon Members, I’m making this episode available to everyone on YouTube.
