A Compilation of my most Popular Capture One Articles
I’ve been really busy with client work this last two weeks, so I haven’t been able to blog as much as I would like to. My main computer is currently rendering on all cylinders, so I’m having to use my ageing laptop for everything. With that in mind, I’ve taken the time to do a little reflecting, and going back over some things.
I have written a lot of articles about Capture One over the past year or more, and I realise that those who may be new to the site might have missed a good few of these, so I’ve decided to compile some of my most popular articles, and those I feel are worth reading.
I’ve broken this down into different sections. I start with some pieces for those who may not have Capture One yet, followed by some beginner articles, and then some more advanced tutorials. I hope this is of use to you, and enjoy.
