Thank you Matt for taking the time to do this wonderful video, and I really enjoyed and learned something new watching this video. I'm just waiting for Capture One to drop their "Black Friday " deal to renew my subscription, but I'm not sure if this time I want an annual subscription or a full owned license 🤔 😅
Enjoyed that video thank you, and I’ve subscribed. You picked a challenging set of images for Match Look with the spotlights and dark moody style. I tried something similar with some wedding shots and reported it as a bug but C1 told me it’s expected behaviour with such images - “Match Look works on the entire image and is not designed to fix inconsistencies between subject and background when using flash like this” (for flash you can read spotlights or bright highlights). In addition they have developed the algorithm not to allow too much variation from the reference (I tried turning green into orange for an autumn look, but it didn’t produce an exact match look). I guess the first iteration of the tool will be further developed, but I see its massive advantage in dumping a thousand images from a wedding or event and the tool helping get a consistent look across the board. I moved from LR years ago and from my useage C1 is at such a state now that it means I only very rarely have to use another editor as C1 allows me to process a large number of images quickly and to a very high standard. For me the main thing missing is a Remove Tool like the Adobe version. The new selection tools are amazingly accurate and allow creation of lots of presets to further increase speed through the editing process. No intention to return to the Adobe fold here!
Great senior set! Do you do a lot of catalogue workflow/organization? I feel like that’s the biggest handcuff to me trying different systems, I have keywords and rating systems to find the photos I want in my Lightroom catalogue.
I’m curious what your standard preset is, it really cleans up the colors. More so than what it is, is how you developed it? Is it tailored to a specific camera/color profile or do you find it more universally applicable? I’m curious if it’s like color channels or levels, contrast, clarity etc. it looks like when you take a raw file and apply the camera color profile, except a really good one lol. I usually want my Sony to give me 75% beteeen vivid and standard.
Honestly it’s a preset I got from somewhere else and changed it quit a bit and it ended up working on almost everything I shoot. Well, really it does work on everything sometimes I tweet it more. It’s a slight curves adjustment, blues in the shadows, yellow in the highlights and a slight shift to blue overall.
Great video Matt. I have to say I’m not impressed with the new features, match color or masking. I used Capture One exclusively for a few years for the color and tethering reliability, but went back to LR about 1 year ago. LR masking is very superior IMHO. Unfortunately, neither is perfect for my needs. Both have great features. I tend to use C1 for portraits and LR for landscapes. I’m still a little po’ed with C1’s pricing strategy and expensive upgrades and will continue using my older version.
Hey Matt. Been using kighteoom for years and just got a hokd of capture one nimna siny shooter. Inwas immediately impressed and still learning it. I also like evoto.
Another good video, Matt. I watched the Capture One Live Stream yesterday that also highlighted the Match Look feature. I was playing around with it a bit last night and started wandering if this is really only for pulling the style from a flat (processed non-raw) image. Do you think that the Copy/Apply function is still the best if you are say, editing a series of raw images with things like a subject mask and background mask and you want to do the major work to the first in the series and then transfer that work to the next in the series (with minor tweaks to each of the layers as you move along)? Your thoughts?
I’m torn between the two at the moment. Have you tried Lightroom lately ? On my a7RV Lightroom’s render is much sharper and their denoising etc is far superior. But match look, skin editor etc in capture one is far superior to what Lightroom can do. Masking I like intersecting in Lightroom but the ai brush in capture one 😂can’t they just make a hybrid and give us everything lol
That’s what I’ve been saying for a long time haha. Why can’t they just combine them 😂 I’ve not messed with the LR denoising, but Lightroom’s files come out noisier to begin with from what I’ve seen. It has gotten WAY better overall though I’ll give you that.
@@MattHernandez Lightroom’s files are noisier because by default they apply no denoising now but capture one is applying 50 noise reduction. The ai denoise in Lightroom is fantastic and it’s getting even better.
To me the the color match tool is a total miss. The only baked feature from this release is the people masking. Is even more precise then the subject and background masking. Missing teeth and iris masking. Guess they will port the people masking precession to the subject and background eventually. Stil missing a decent content aware brush for healing.

You are very welcome! That’s a tough call but generally, there’s a little bit of an advantage to having the annual subscription

Same here! Love CO. The remove tool would be nice!

Yeah that is an issue using different programs. Probably best to stick to Lightroom if that’s what you’re use to. I do catalogue everything I shoit in
Shoot in CO or LR.

I haven’t used it that in depth yet honestly. It may just be more for flat photos rather than incorporating masks but I’ll have to give it a shot.
Roger that!
I am laughing so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laughing at what?
@ My apologies, that was sent an error. Keep up the awesome work and the knowledge provided.

I disagree but thanks for the feedback and support! It’s not perfect but it does work a lot of the time.
