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 are not well versed in the basics when you attend Masters, it will slow down the rest of the class and is unfair to everyone else. 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.

Refund Policy

FEATURING:

Ben Liddle, Technical Support Specialist at Phase One US and the lead supporter for Capture One Studio

Ben is an instructor in the Phase One Certified Professional certification program and creates custom automation scripts for a wide variety of brands. Prior to joining Phase One, Ben was a freelance digital technician in NYC for 5 years across a wide breadth of workflows and genres of photography.

Ben asks the question, how can Capture One be made more efficient? He’ll walk us through AppleScript automation and Capture One Studio, two indispensable tools for reducing a digital tech’s daily workload and chance for user error. We’ll look at use-case code examples in arguably the easiest coding language and the possibilities they open up. We’ll also get a peek into the new features of Capture One Studio, providing solutions for common high-volume and e-commerce workflows.

Focus Stacking with Doug Peterson!

Focus stacking has shifted from an esoteric exercise to a daily necessity for many photographers. As capture resolutions go up and up, keeping focus sharp from front-to-back becomes increasingly challenging. We’ll present on the current state of software, hardware, and workflows for focus stacking. We’ll also discuss the situations where Scheimplfug movements on a view camera are a preferred alternative to focus stacking.

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.

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. Click here for more information on all the certification steps.

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. 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
