Depending on the individual image, you may need to change the settings. VariationsĪs I stated earlier in this guide, the above settings are just the default, sort of “catch all” set of parameters that I use. You can also save individual settings as defaults for a particular camera, however I find that this often doesn’t get applied on import (I’m sure I’m just doing something wrong here) To apply the style you simply select the one you just created in the import window. To save these as a User Style (not to be confused with Presets, as in Capture One’s Terminology, Presets are for individual settings, and Styles are for whole groups) for use on import in Capture One, from the menu choose:Īdjustments Menu > Styles > Save User Style Here are the settings that I use as my default settings: To change the sharpening settings, you need to go to the sharpening tab, which is under the icon that looks like a little magnifying glass in the set of adjustments on the Capture One interface. Try these settings for yourself, and if you don’t like the results, that’s fine, but these are what I use. I will use these as a baseline, and then vary the parameters based on the individual image that I’m working on, but these are what I’ve decided to use as a default starting point. I also prefer a higher radius and a lower threshold.Īfter much trial and error, I’ve come up with settings that I use as my defaults. I also think that the sharpening settings are too high for most Fuji files, as the lack of anti-aliasing filter makes this less of a necessity. Firstly, the Luminance Noise reduction is set to 50 by default, which for the most part, is unnecessarily high. In particular, I don’t think the default sharpening and Noise Reduction settings are optimal. I don’t like the way the default settings have been setup for any file in Capture One. If you’ve tried to use Capture One to process Fuji Raw files before, and you didn’t think that the result was anything special, then it’s possible that it was because you were using the default settings. You should already know the basics and be able to navigate the interface, and import images. Note: This guide assumes that you have a degree of familiarity with Capture One. However, if you’ve at least played around with the software before, and have gone through the basics, then you should be able to follow most of what’s written in this guide. This is not a full tutorial or even a comprehensive introduction to Capture One, because it’s such a complex application, and to do that would be a whole book worth of information. This short guide attempts to cover the main settings that I use to get good results from Fuji X-Trans files. The main tips here will all work even if you’re only using Capture One to process and manage your images, or you may also be using another piece of software as your library, such as Apple’s Photos or Mylio. While I’ve written some of this guide as a way to work with both Capture One and Lightroom, you of course, don’t have to be using Lightroom at all. When I’ve talked about other applications in the past, such as Iridient Developer, I’ve discussed setting it up to work as a plug-in for Lightroom, but with Capture One, this doesn’t work very well, and I also find that because it’s more of a complete programme, you can pretty much finish your images in Capture One before sending them back to Lightroom. When working with Capture One to process Fuji Raw files, I’ll generally work with a whole shoot, or batch of images at a time. If you don't want to, that's fine too, I'm still giving you all the information here. This can be purchased for just €4 If you like what I'm doing here, and you find the information useful, and want to show support, then you can do so by getting the PDF version. Secondly, I'm making a nicely laid out PDF version of the entire guide, which can be printed or viewed on screen. The first will be free, here on the blog, posted in two parts. I'm publishing this short guide in two ways. I've been wanting to write up a sort of guide to my common settings, and also some workflow tips for each of the various applications that I use, and so, here is the first one. I didn't go into much detail though about some of the settings that I use and how I manage my workflow when working with Capture One. I wrote about how I really like the way Capture One renders Fuji Raw files, in both terms of details, and colour. A while ago I had a post about how much I was enjoying the combination of Capture One and Fuji X-Trans files.
