Is this for you?

It's for anyone who have little or no experience with Capture One Pro - and those who have enough to know they don't know what's the up and down on a workflow. Adobe for mac os x free download.

The Capture One Pro Survival Kit also deals with how to move from Adobe Lightroom to Capture One with your files.

It's specifically made for digital photographers and Leica photographers.

The aim of the Capture One Survival Kitis to give you the overview and necessary tools, as well as a way to handle editing so that you can produce the image quality you require, without having to spend months or years to get to know everything about the software.

What is Capture One?

It's 'the other than Lightroom editing tool' that was made by Phase One in Copenhagen for professional medium format photographers to get fast, accurate workflow and premium quality.

Since it's been made useful for all photographers, using Leica, Sony, Fuji, Nikon, Canon and more.

It's maintained a very fast workflow, and extremely high quality in reading and working with the raw files from the camera.

It has a lot of features for photographers working in studio, exporting directly into Capture One, so an important part of my Capture One Survival Kit is to cut staight to the things you need and not get confused by all the endless possibilities.

What people say:

'Your Capture One style for BW and natural skin tone. It is quite useful.'

'The Capture One Survival Kit is terrific. It provides the discipline necessary to keep your workflow focused on your photos without worrying about how or where they are stored. It worked quite well for me and I can highly recommend it.'

“I bought Thorsten's guide and it's very easy to follow and full of practical advice. There's a lot more in it than Just Capture One; he goes into monitor choice, color calibration, hard disks, document management and a bunch of other useful stuff.?”

'Thorsten's methodology is perhaps not what hardware-, software- and cloud-companies want us to do, but as a former IT engineer I can only acknowledge his views about preserving our digital heritage. The workflow explained is for me the best I have ever seen.'

'I learned so much on your photographic workflow and philosophy.'

'Even as a professional, I am learning new things and adapting my workflow as a result.'

'Your workflow is of incredible value . not only for photographic processes.'

'Your terrific workflow process is going to be a huge challenge and undertaking for me. I thought all of your advice was incredibly practical.'

'The workflow explained is for me the best I have ever seen.'

'Thorsten has a pleasant way of instructing and he inspires his students to develop a style of their own.”

'This influenced me postprocessing workflow very much and so I could develop my own style.'

'I am glad I got this kit. My workflow was so cluttered and I was in utter digital mess. It's simple and easy to follow. I have read countless books on workflow, this beats them all.'

'I have particularly enjoyed the revamping of this most useful workflow tool.'
