Image Editing in Capture One with Fine Art Photographer Bernd Radtke - Phase one
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Capture One 7 is the perfect tool for me to give my pictures the look that I want them to have.
The RAW file for me is like a score and Capture One is the instrument to make it ring true.
My way to select the images is to have the browser on the right.
Then I give them flags like the green one.
If I choose in the filter box only to show me the green flagged images,
I will see my chosen pictures only.
Normally, I start with the standard curve.
I prefer to use the curves to set my lights and shadows.
With the HDR tool I correct highlights and shadows.
To control my adjustment, I switch on highlight and shadow alarm.
A little vignetting leads the viewer into the picture.
I continue by selecting my lens correction.
In this case I used the Schneider Kreuznach 55mm lens.
Very interesting in this case is the keystone correction tool.
Although I don't use a technical camera, I can have a perfect perspectively corrected image.
But in this picture I would like to keep the dynamics.
Therefore, I only correct the horizontal lines.
Finally, I do some sharpness correction.
Start the developing and then I send the file to the printer.
Look at these perfect details.
Isn't that unbelievable?
This is really the very best digital black and white photos I have ever made.
