This is THE best video about Clarity, Structure and Sharpening. One minor tip. If you DO want to use different methods for Clarity and Structure, you can use different layers for both of them.
Dear Paul, You are truly a genius at imparting knowledge and your sonorous voice cuts through all my distracting side thoughts and increases my attention to your very valuable information. Thank you very much for your effortless appearing work, in which indeed a lot of effort is put in by you and makes the effort of learning tremendously easier for us learners.
After years of RUclips this is the single best video I have ever seen. Clear, thorough, explanatory, helpful and informative with detail (no pun intended!). Superb. Utterly stunning. Thanks for all your help, again..
Great explanation again! Not too fast, and in a frendly grownup manner. With the clean and representative examples to manage the topic. Thank You, Paul!
@@Paulreiffer, well... Saying "friendly and grown up" I meant, that listening the text and understanding the actions is easy because of absence of any "modern young youtubers" behavior. On my opinion, some of those "video guides" looks more like monkeys playing in front of PC... Tired of them. It could be also interesting and useful to see a couple of videos about the theoretic sequence in developing Raws in C1. For example - the priority of Curves over Levels or so called HDR properties over Exposure Control section (or vise versa), and so on. Just from scratch to "ready for export" state photographs. Different type of photos: low key portraits, moody scapes on sunset (and just after that), bright photographs in direct sun (like in desert) and so on. There are some more topics for great videos, aren't they?
Superb training. Perfect balance of explaining high and low level detail, something that is generally difficult to accomplish. Just wish that I could give many thumbs.
Wow, wow, wow! I have been using C1 in the newest version for a few months now. I was a fan of LR until I met C1. They each have their pros and cons, but I like the feel of C1 more, and it suits my needs and capabilities. I have watched a lot of in depth videos on C1, some going into great detail and from which I have learned a lot (David Grover @ Capture One for example). I don't honestly know how I haven't come across you before now, but now I have, I am subscribed and will be watching more of you. Your teaching method is relatively simple to understand, yet brings such depth and clarity to the subject, just like the tools in this video...... I have learned yet more. Thank you so much. On a technical note....I had problems with C1 when editing images with a lot of noise in them (e.g. Milky Way or shots using extremely high ISO) and using the noise reduction tool. C1 kept crashing and after several reboots and discovering that the files themselves, or at least the resulting JPEGs, were wrecked, I had to switch to LR to successfully edit the images. I see you have a video on editing the Night Sky, so I will be taking that one in very soon. Thanks again.
While I'd always 'got' what these individual tools did, my understanding never reached the depth covered in this video and I've never seen the pitfalls better demonstrated. Brilliant video Paul, probably the best out of all your Pro Tips. Thank you.
Absolutely a very down to earth explanation. You can say it louder but not clearer !!. Fantastic, Paul. Every explanation of how a tool works in C1 is a treasure with your words Thanks so much
This was the best explanation by far of the differences in the three tools I've seen yet. Thank you so much for such an excellent explanation/demonstration!
Glad it helped Judy! While some tools can seem complex at first, they each have a simple purpose - it's just a case of explaining which tool is for which purpose!
Thank you Paul for a wonderful video. I have never heard such a clear description of the difference between clarity, structure and sharpening and the proper use of their respective tools in Capture 1.
Fantastic, detailed explanation of the difference between these three tools. Makes much more sense now. Thanks for the tiff file to allow for more individual exploration with a useful test image.
After criticizing the trend of HDR, sharpening has replaced this “witch-hunt” during the past few years, at least to my understandings. I honestly love crystal sharp details and images, always have. Even when being surrounded by classical Art-Photographers and photo teachers. I know how and when to take advantage of blurry occasions but my love clearly goes to sharp visuals. Voilà. Thanks Paul for another interesting episode. Lovely work! 👍
The reality is, it’s entirely up to us, as photographers, to determine how we want our work to appear. In the same way that I’ve seen some amazing HDR shots (although dwarfed by the number of awful ones!) I’ve also found on some occasions, “pushing the sliders to the max” has delivered the effect I wanted in terms of contrast and sharpening too. So there’s no right answer - as long as we’re not collectively making people’s eyes bleed...! 😎😂
Paul Reiffer - Photographer Yeah, exactly the same experience here 😊 too much of everything is rarely good. I do love blurry or moving images, but rarely got positive feedback. I believe that most people don’t understand, as it’s not a sharp image.
What a sharp explanation of the 3 tools in C1. So clear now that we don't even need the halo suppression on this one ;-) You are so far the best teacher on C1. You have the knack for making tricky topics easy to understand for everyone. Thank you for your time and efforts.
I'm incredibly grateful I found your tutorials here! The best and the only ones I will watch, you explain so patiently and concise at the same time, you make me finally understand what I'm really doing and all your videos are of enormous value! Thank you. :)
Hi Paul: Wow....your video was so powerful. As I see the tools that have been built into Capture Pro One it makes my decision to leave LR as my primary RAW editor so easy. Thank you. Cheers, Keith
Thanks, your video cleared up some questions I had. Upgraded to 16.3.3.6 and now new questions, never ends. At 81 what else can I do but learn all the new stuff. Cheers.
As I said before, Thank you Paul for your time, I have been learning a lot from your tutorials (the finest masterclasses of C1PRO). You are an amazing teacher and an excellent photographer as well. Have a nice day Sir. Cheers.
incredible teacher ! i have never seen and heard a person on the net that explains so well , in a so clear way, the differences in the the functions of thoses three tools ! i am sure that the lessons with Paul reiffer in real life would also be great, perhaps greater than on the net ! For Germany there was a teacher who worked for capture one who was the feminin double of Paul : Renate Lange , but this last months i didn't hear nothing about her , perhaps she has changed the job?
Thanks Paul - a very concise breakdown of those tools - well explained. I'm probably guilty of over-tweaking boring shots to give them some drama. I'll try to be more controlled from now on.
To be fair - we all have, David. It's "new toy" syndrome - we always want to play with new things and push their limits... ...and then one day, we calm down! :-)
Best explanation I have ever heard on the differences between each of these tools (I've been a user of C1 since the very first version when it was only available on Windows). Clear and understandable with really nice examples illustrating what you were saying and doing. Thanks for taking the time to make and record this video!
Thank you so much for this clear and comprehensive explanation and perfect choice of examples. This was, without a doubt, one of the most useful half hours I've spent. I do some volunteer photography for the War Memorials Trust and family historians, documenting cemeteries and fulfilling occasional requests for photos of family gravestones. After your session today I've re-looked at some old pics (mostly LR edits) and using what I picked up from you, I've "magically" transformed the faded and obscured inscriptions on several stones into much clearer and more readable text. Now if you could produce a vid on how to remove reflections from shiny brass plaques in churches that are half in deep shadow, a quarter in bright sunlight and the other quarter in mixed light from coloured stained-glass windows and weird pinky tungsten lights..... I'd buy tickets for that.
Fantastic Martin - really pleased it's already shown some positive results already, and it's always great to know that what I'm blabbering on about can make a difference in the "real world"! PS - send one of your difficult shots in to the live edits series and we’ll take a look 😎👍
Hi Paul, Even after using these tools many times, I have learned new things after watching your amazing video! I was hoping that you had included noise cancellation in it because it seems to undo sharpening at some level. Many thanks for this excellent video 😊👌 Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱
Hi Dennis, Yeah - Noise Reduction will be covered in a future video, as that can take a session all to itself! And you're right - Noise Reduction and Sharpening are enemies of each other - they both do the opposite, so trying to sharpen a noise-reduced image is the impossible challenge we need to talk through!
Well, this CAPTURED my imagination......been using C1 Pro for over 2 months and NOW, I am beginning to warm up to this wonderful package......many thanks Mr.Paul Reiffer !!
On some images, structure actually does a better job on texture details than global sharpening. Of course, with a lot of "fiddling", sharpening can do a great job too, but if there's a specific part of the image that you want to mask and quickly pull out the texture, then I'd use structure on that area and then worry about overall sharpening with the sharpen tool itself.
A few times I noticed the mouse pointer activate a popup with the definition of that tool. Since I am new to Capture One I just wondered if it was part of the program or an addition you added to the video to illustrate. Nevertheless, either way, your video and explanation were very helpful to me. I felt like I was leaning over a friends shoulder as he showed me and illustrated all the details. I appreciate your time and effort. I'm about to venture in to some of the other videos you've. Regards. Jim
They’re just the tool tips, Jim - the same in every application out there. So if you hover your mouse over a function, if the developer has been helpful, you’ll see those little tips pop up under the mouse to help tell you what it does 👍
Great tutorial. Thanks. Observing structure versus sharpening in your examples, I wondered: Is Structure simply a "dumbed-down" version of the conventional sharpening commands, a kind of subset of the sharpening command, with Capture One defaulting to radius (and/or threshold) settings it believes to be right for the current image-and you control only "amount"?
Hi Mike, so.... Sort of yes, and sort of no. It's doing a bit more than that behind the scenes, but in terms of its application to an image, I'd say your observation is a very fair way to look at it! Essentially, if you can do it with structure then great - but if it delivers less than ideal results, it's time to call in the Sharpening tool's big-guns!
@@Paulreiffer I've almost always found that Structure and a small amount of sharpening during output are sufficient. I've left the separate sharpening control alone. That combination seems to have worked pretty well. A couple of months ago for the first time I used Capture One's output sharpening for print in making a small book of photographs. I had to guess what the Amount setting should be (the viewing-distance setting was pretty simple to figure out). The result was better than I'd expected (I'd expected to get it wrong on the first attempt but apparently I guessed correctly). No output sharpening + some specialized sharpening in a third-party printing tool (Qimage Pro-good results, but what an intimidating user interface) worked well in a print-to-file-to-Fuji-Frontier workflow.
Hi Paul, question, when you use the term "brightness" in the video do you mean it in the way that "Brightness" is applied/used under the Exposure tool? Or are you refereeing to a general perceived brightness?
Thanks once for this very explanatory video. Great as usual. As for the TIFF file, do I import into C1 as I would on importing photos? How do I keep the folder structure without copying it?
Hi Rob, so, as long as you keep the folder next to the TIF file (wherever you choose to put it), you can then drag the TIF into Capture One (or import) as normal and all the layers will come across with adjustments too 👍😎
dear Paul, your tutorials are always a pleasure to look at. Well presented and plenty of information. This one is not different. There is however one question I keep struggling with: when I export an image to Photoshop, so far, I typically deactivated any sharpening effect (from the sharpening sliders) to have the "cleanest" possible version to work upon when starting my WF in PS. This WF always starts with healing (removing objects, removing any distracting objects in the shot,...) typically followed by DB and then color correction and grading. I end it with the Topaz denoise Ai which is not only great for removing noise, but also applies a small dosis of sharpening without any halos. I am a bit puzzled now: should i leave the default sharpening in C1 as derived from my camera/lens actif when exporting to PS, or should I deactivate it? The latter option has for me the advantage of introducing less "details" in the image, making the "cleaning" probably easier and reducing the risk of any artefacts when coloring. I'm not sure whether this question makes any sense, or do I miss something?
Hey Paul, great tutorial! I just have one question, it wasn't really clear to me; should we be subtle with our adjustments or should we turn clarity up to 100?
Hands down simply the best explanation that I've heard about the tools discussed! Thanks a lot for the wonderful video.
This is THE best video about Clarity, Structure and Sharpening. One minor tip. If you DO want to use different methods for Clarity and Structure, you can use different layers for both of them.

Thanks Paul - it's a bit of a longer one than usual, but the three tools need the time!
Great explanation again! Not too fast, and in a frendly grownup manner.
With the clean and representative examples to manage the topic.
Thank You, Paul!
Excellent - I now have proof that I can be "friendly and grownup"! (I'm taking that and printing it!)
@@Paulreiffer, well... Saying "friendly and grown up" I meant, that listening the text and understanding the actions is easy because of absence of any "modern young youtubers" behavior.

Good ideas - we'll add them to the ever-growing list ;-) Thanks!
I just stumbled on this video, and what a fantastic explanation of these three Capture One Pro tools! Thank you for this broadcast Paul!
One of the best explanations about sharpening I have seen yet! Thank you Paul. 👍
This is definitely one of the best explanations of the clarity, structure, and sharpening tools in Capture one. Thanks for the help!
Superb training. Perfect balance of explaining high and low level detail, something that is generally difficult to accomplish. Just wish that I could give many thumbs.

Why would you use the structure tool if you are also going to use the sharpening tool? Masterful video. Thanks
On some images, structure actually does a better job on texture details than global sharpening. Of course, with a lot of "fiddling", sharpening can do a great job too, but if there's a specific part of the image that you want to mask and quickly pull out the texture, then I'd use structure on that area and then worry about overall sharpening with the sharpen tool itself.

Hi Mike, so....
Sort of yes, and sort of no. It's doing a bit more than that behind the scenes, but in terms of its application to an image, I'd say your observation is a very fair way to look at it!

clarity. the second most misused tool after hdr...
