We’d like to encourage our friends and family to join us in making the best use of our time while we’re practicing social distancing by investing in ourselves. Our way of facilitating that is to launch “Project Lemonade” – an ongoing series of informative and (hopefully) entertaining webinars that you’ll be able to join remotely. There will be a variety of topics, from hardware tips & software tutorials, to project workflows and digitization case studies, making this a perfect way to spend an idle hour or two, while simultaneously adding to your knowledge and understanding of photography.

In this webinar, architectural photographer Jeffrey Totaro will explain how he sets up Capture One for tethered capture on location and also for final editing in the studio. He will review many of the customization features for the Capture One interface and which to use on location vs in the studio. Jeffrey will then show you several of Capture One’s most useful tools for architectural photography including Keystone, Color Editor and Normalize. Jeffrey has been a Phase One and Capture One user since 2004.

Wether you’ve shot Phase One before or are just curious about why our clients choose medium format, we invite photographers of all experience levels and camera platforms/formats to expand their photography knowledge with this interesting technical overview.

Can’t make the scheduled time? No worries! If you’d still like to see the information go ahead and register for the webinar and you’ll receive an automated email from our webinar service with a replay link. If you don’t receive this email, check your spam, then contact us for help.

Disclaimer: During these challenging times many companies are switching to online options for business and leisure. The increased demand in web services may cause technical issues which can display as errors in audio and visual quality. We’ve tested our hardware and are doing our very best to provide you with the highest quality webinar experience. On your end, you can help improve audio visual quality of the live stream by hardwiring your system with an ethernet cable to a router or using high speed wifi.

NOTICE: In response to COVID-19, all DT trainings will be held online.

Registrants will be contacted by Kate Stone (kns@digitaltransitions.com) with a link to access the webinar after purchasing their ticket. Please feel free to contact Kate with any questions or concerns prior to purchase.

Not everyone is ready to jump directly into our widely acclaimed Capture One Masters Program (COMP)! 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 COMP 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 COMP 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 COMP! Please Note: Please be honest with your readiness for the class. If you are not well versed in the basics when you attend COMP, 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 COMP, 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.

• Use camera position and lens movements to optimize composition and perspective
• Exploit the unique advantages of technical camera systems
• Employ advanced capture strategies such exposure averaging and focus stacking
• Use neutral density filters
• Develop alternative looks and process your images for maximum impact

This workshop is invaluable for aspiring architectural and interior photographers, designers and architects seeking to improve the images they take of their own work, those in the real estate business, and anyone who loves architecture and the built environment.

What’s included:

• Three mornings of Classroom Instruction/Presentation (light breakfast included)
