Not everyone is ready to jump directly into our widely acclaimed Capture One Masters training class! Maybe you’re new to Capture One, or have been using it for years but are self taught and could use a formal introductory class on how Capture One was meant, by its programmers, to be used. In such cases we recommend Capture One Basics.

Capture One Basics is a two and a half hour class that mixes lecture, demonstration, and hands-on examples for Capture One Session workflow (so don’t forget to bring a laptop). It is designed to be a solid stand-alone class for those wanting a beginner level introduction to Capture One, or as a primer for the more advanced Capture One Masters classes.

Topic Overview:

Capture One: What and Wherefore

• What is Capture One. What functions does it serve well and poorly?
• Why or Why Not Capture One. Demonstrations of pros and cons compared to LightRoom, Bridge, and Photoshop

Basic File Management

• Sessions vs Catalogs: What they are and when each is appropriate
• Session Workflow: Including hands on examples.
• Basic Navigation: Finding, sorting, filtering, and organizing your images

Basic Adjustments and Output

• Getting the look you want from an image
• Exporting or processing to TIFF/JPG
• Photoshop Round tripping 

Customization

• Keyboard Shortcuts
• Workspace tweaks for different workflows

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Should I take Capture One Masters or Capture One Basics?
Take our COMPetency Quiz! Upon submission, you will receive an answer key. There is no set number; the more you get right, the more ready you are for Masters! Please Note: Please be honest with your readiness for the class. If you’re not sure if you’re ready for Masters, then we’d recommend taking Capture One Basics.

2. Does Capture One Basics come with a license for Capture One Pro?
No, the fee does not include Capture One. You can purchase it here and receive 10% off with the DT coupon code.

3. What Should I Bring?
During the class we will be doing hands-on exercises so you should bring a laptop with the latest version of Capture One Pro already installed and activated.

POCP: Phase Certified Training:

In our industry today, there are both traditional “Assistants” and a new type of person on the set which we call the Digital Technician or Operator. Quality and specialized knowledge among assistants can vary quite dramatically.

Digital Techs that have completed the Phase One Certified Professional Program will have received specialized training in Phase One equipment and software and will be listed in Phase One’s Certified Professional online database. Photographers are more likely to choose certified digital technicians to ensure that the tech they hire has the knowledge and experience to get the most out of the Phase One equipment and software on set. 

Training Overview

Training takes place over a two-day period encompassing everything from efficient on-set workflow to troubleshooting to advanced software techniques. At the end of the two days, it culminates with a certification exam. Those who pass the exam are given the title of Phase One Certified Professional and listed in the official Phase One database.

Training seminars will include a mixture of lecture and hands-on practice. You will have the opportunity to use the Phase One XF Camera System, a multitude of Schneider lenses and several different digital backs. The following topics will be covered during Training:

Phase One Digital Backs, Bodies & Lenses

• Technology inside the Digital Backs
• Phase One 645DF+ Body
• Phase One XF Camera System
• Recommended Usage & Capabilities
• Troubleshooting

Third Party Cameras

• Usage with Phase One Backs
• Canon/Nikon Tethering

Computers

• Recommended Setup
• Backup Procedures
• Troubleshooting & Maintenance

Capture One Pro

• Tools
• Workflow
• Troubleshooting

Program Fee Includes the Following:

• Receive a full license of Capture One Pro and a special Troubleshooting Guide after completing all of the qualification testing requirements.*
• Get listed on Digital Transitions’ and Phase One’s website as a “Phase One Certified” Digital Tech.
• Get shooting time with the new Phase One XF Camera System & Phase One digital backs.
• License to Phase One pre-requisite online courses.*

Course Details

• Two full days
• Lunch will be provided. (Pizza, Salads, Sandwiches, Snacks, Coffee, Water, Sodas)
• We recommend that you bring a laptop to the training
• Course info will be emailed to you after your registration is processed
• If you have more specific questions regarding the Phase One Certified Professional Program, please email courses@digitaltransitions.com

*As we will build on the information from the online courses during the training, you MUST complete all courses before the POCP event. Each course is a mixture of articles and videos and includes 1-2 short quizzes. You can take the quizzes as many times as necessary, but you must get an 80% to move forward within the course. We expect that the entire online course should not take more than 5 hours total.

Refunds & Rescheduling Policies:

Please be sure that you are available to attend both days of training and will be able to complete your Qualification Tests before signing up for the course. Our policy is that we do not offer rescheduling options. It is difficult to fill open seats close to the training, as attendees require time to take their qualification tests.

Please also note that there are no refunds, as once you have signed up and paid, we provide you with Capture One Pro ($299 value) and your Phase One Qualification Testing License ($150 value). Digital Transitions is responsible for those costs once you have activated them

THIS YEAR’S SPEAKERS 

The Art of Printmaking and Selling Your Prints
with Josef Blazar
Josef Blazar is the owner of Blazing Editions, a fine art printing company based in Rhode Island. In his presentation, “The Art of Printmaking and Selling Your Prints,” Blazer will discuss the mission and background of Blazing Editions, emphasizing the importance of quality and customer service. He will also share information on various topics relating to printing images, from the benefits and drawbacks of paper and metal substrates to the importance of high resolution photos when printing from a camera. After an overview of important details in the process of printing and re-printing images, Blazer will provide valuable insight relating to art exhibitions, selling prints, interacting with galleries, and the hardships of online-focused selling.

America in Focus: Frances, Dorothea and Me
with Carol Highsmith
Frances Benjamin Johnston, Dorothea Lange and Carol M. Highsmith collections are all featured in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs archive.
Johnston, funded by Andrew Carnegie, traveled throughout America documenting architecture, gardens, African Americans and Native Americans during her career that spanned from early 1900s to the 1940s.

It’s Not About Me
with Keith Major
How I checked my ego in order to get the desired shots. I’ll tell the stories behind how personalities like Kevin Hart, David Koch, Iris Apfel, and Frank Lucas (Frank is the subject of the movie American Gangster played by Denzel Washington) can affect the mood of a shoot. I discuss how things went, how I handled situations. I discuss how crazy it can get sometimes and what I believe one can do to keep things even or what to do when caught in the eye of the storm. I believe a selfless approach to be a valuable asset in getting to the next level.

Visual Storytelling, An Alternative Way of Building Your Body of Work
with Andy Biggs
Photography is a visual storytelling method and one alternative way of assembling a body of work that will be consistent over time is to use adjectives that you would like to use, even before you pick up your camera. These adjectives will drive your work, define your visual style and help narrow down what you are trying to say and how you say it.
Andy will walk us through his own journey of visual storytelling, from his work with Banana Republic to his fine art print sales and stock photo library.

Schedule:

• 12:30 – 1:00pm – Welcome and Introductions
• 1:00 – 1:30pm – Josef Blazar – The Art of Printmaking and Selling Your Prints
• 1:30 – 2:30pm – Carol Highsmith – America in Focus: Frances, Dorothea and Me

Digital Transitions PhotoPlus Expo Featured Speakers:

KEITH MAJOR – It’s Not About Me – October 24 2:00 PM

How I checked my ego in order to get the desired shots. I’ll tell the stories behind how personalities like Kevin Hart, David Koch, Iris Apfel, and Frank Lucas (Frank is the subject of the movie American Gangster played by Denzel Washington) can affect the mood of a shoot. I discuss how things went, how I handled situations. I discuss how crazy it can get sometimes and what I believe one can do to keep things even or what to do when caught in the eye of the storm. I believe a selfless approach to be a valuable asset in getting to the next level.

Keith Major is regarded as one of New York’s premier commercial photographers. He has shot for several a-list clients including Sony Music, Colgate-Palmolive, Essence and Cosmopolitan. Click here to learn more about Keith and see his work.

ADAM ELSTEIN – Technical Camera Craft 101 – October 25 10:00 AM

Technical Cameras are surrounded with a kind of mystique that can scare off some photographers. In fact,  they are extremely simple to use and offer unparalleled flexibility and image quality.   

In this talk, architectural photographer and Pratt professor Adam Elstein will demystify the craft of shooting with technical cameras.  He will discuss all aspects of technical camera workflow, including lens choice, composition, perspective control, focusing, capture techniques, and post-processing. Shooting on a technical camera both requires and rewards deliberate craft.  The results are well worth it. Come and discover how these elegant devices can transform your photography.

Adam Elstein is an architectural photographer and educator.  He has been a professor at Pratt Institute since 2007, and leads workshops through the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and other institutions. His work, which has won numerous awards and has been exhibited internationally, can be seen here.

MARTIN AXON – Historical Applications for Digital Photography – October 25 2:00 PM

Martin Axon is a photographer and master analog printmaker with over 50 years of experience printing black & white and color photographs for photographers such as Horst P. Horst, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bert Stern, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, and Roman Vishniac.

He is perhaps best known for his over 30 years of printing using the Platinum-Palladium process, even collaborating with the Arches paper Mill in 1982 to create the now-famous paper sheet Arches Platine.

Over the last year he has consulted with Digital Transitions to examine the potential of using their Cultural Heritage Instant Capture Film Digitization systems for creating files for printing in historical archival alternative processes. It has quickly become his preferred method of film digitization due to its superior clarity, dynamic range, and a rapid capture times over any previous scanning system, making it a perfect match for digitizing large film archives in high definition and providing robust files for his complex Platinum-Palladium printmaking processes.

His photographs have been exhibited at The Guild Hall Museum, The Photographers Gallery in London, The New Jersey State Museum, and the British Arts Council’s traveling exhibition, and a current exhibition at The Guggenheim Museum displays his platinum works of Robert Mapplethorpe.

For more information on Martin Axon and his work visit his website.

ARNAB CHATTERJEE – Modern Film Scanning – October 25 4:00 PM

Do you ever wish you could turn your slides and negatives into real raw files, rather than flat, over-sharpened TIFFs? We have the solution you’ve been waiting for – and you don’t want to miss this! We’ll give you an inside look at how the huge film collections at Disney, The Getty Museum, and the Library of Congress use DT instant capture systems to digitize their multi-million frame archives in record time – with superior quality to drum and virtual-drum scanners. And the best part? We’ll have demo stations up and running, so you can give your own frames the “cultural heritage” treatment! Bring one of your own standard 35mm, 645, or 6×6 film frames with you to have digitized in seconds!* We’ll provide you with your very own personal raw files in addition to sample files that will be available to all attendees. For first-time users, we recommend bringing either black and white negatives or color slides, as we will not be covering raw workflows for color negative conversion. Files will be made available via file-sharing links shortly after the event. Your registration confirms your attendance to the event on October 25 and holds your reservation.

*Disclaimer: Digital Transitions reserves the right to close the event or refuse additional scans if the venue is at capacity or there is not proper time to complete all scans.

POCP EDU: Phase One Certified Professional Training brought to students

In the modern photo industry, the differentiation between traditional “Assistants” and specialized “Digital Techs” is an increasingly important one. While both are critical parts of a crew, photographers and clients expect a specialized skill set from their Digital Techs to ensure that image capture, review, and file management all function seamlessly, and that when something goes wrong, their tech knows how to fix it.

The Phase One Certified Professional Program provides Digital Techs and others looking to build additional skills with an intensive two-day course using Phase One’s industry-standard workflow camera systems and Capture One Pro software. Throughout the course, students will receive hands-on training with the latest Phase One equipment and software, and upon completion, will be listed in Phase One’s Certified Professional online database. Photographers are more likely to choose certified digital technicians to ensure that the tech they hire has the knowledge and experience to get the most out of the Phase One equipment and software on set.

Pricing:

Cost of training is $399 for students and $499 for non-students. You must be a student to get the price. Students must provide a student ID to receive the discounted price.

For student pricing please send a copy of your student ID to courses@digitaltransitions.com before your purchase, you will receive a unique coupon code for your registration.

Training Overview

Training takes place over a two-day period encompassing everything from efficient on-set workflow to troubleshooting to advanced software techniques. At the end of the two days, it culminates with a certification exam. Those who pass the exam are given the title of Phase One Certified Professional and listed in the official Phase One database.

Training seminars will include a mixture of lecture and hands-on practice. You will have the opportunity to use the Phase One XF Camera System, a multitude of Schneider lenses and several different digital backs. The following topics will be covered during Training:

Refunds & Rescheduling Policies:

Please be sure that you are available to attend both days of training and will be able to complete your Qualification Tests before signing up for the course.
