Is Capture One okay for a complete beginner?

Hi all, I just recently got back into photography, both film (developing and scanning at home) and digital. I am coming into this with basically no experience with photo editing software. I started the 3 month trial that came with my camera, and while I have figured a few things out, it still feels completely overwhelming. Both in the photo editing side and the organizational side. My question is this - do you think a professional level suite like Capture One is realistic for a complete beginner, or would I be better served in starting with a more basic program to learn the basics of photo editing. I don't mind (kind of) paying a sub, and I really like the feel of it, I'm just wary of paying for something I won't come close to using to its potential, as well as feeling overwhelmed and avoiding using it at all. Thanks.

Tethering to M5 Macbook Air outside all day?

I'm planning to tether to an M5 macbook air in northern california for about 8 hours next week. I'll be using an i-visor to keep it shaded. Do I need to worry about overheating or will I be good to go?

Editing a solar eclipse

Hello fellow photographers :) I just came home from my trip to Spain where I captured the total solar eclipse and now I want to edit my images. In particular, I'm trying to get as much detail out of the corona as possible without introducing a lot of noise.

Does anyone have advice for this sort of editing? I've been playing around with luminosity masks but now I have quite a bit of noise (maybe ISO 800 was too much but oh well). Any tips would be much appreciated :)

Also, I'm still using Pro 2021 😅 Thanks!!

Adding keywords during import

This should not be this difficult.

And I did quite a bit of searching on the vast majority of answers come up as to add keywords to the keyword field under Metadata.

There is no keyword field under Metadata nor adjustments. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Export recovering highlights that are blown out in preview

Long-time C1 user who's never had an issue with exports not matching my previews before, but I'm currently scanning negatives where the intentionally blown-out sky (at right, in C1) appears as a terrible shade of cyan in the export (at left, in Preview). I'm not mad at all (and genuinely surprised) that the image is still there, but because it's not previewing properly I can't even edit it to arrive at an image I might like.

Does anyone know what is happening here or have possible workflow fixes so that it previews how it will export? Happy to provide further details if needed.

Which monitors does everyone use?

I recently purchased an Asus PA32UCDMRK and have loved the resolution, contrast, and refresh rate. Most places I have worked are running capture one on eizo or apple studio monitors but I wanted to see how everyone likes what they are currently running.

Any Wedding Photographers here?

I shoot C1 for portraits and studio work, but use LRC for wedding & event galleries. I usually edit on the C1 Mobile App, but have used the desktop version and love it.

Anyone have any workflow recommendations to fully transfer?

LR’s Denoise and Object Removal are some of my guilty pleasures, but man the colors that C1 can pull out of my A7IV are so satisfying. However I think maybe it’s habit but file management feels so much better in LRC. I feel like I can fly through 2-3k photos fast, struggling to find any other wedding photographers who use C1.

So I use both, I can achieve what I want with both, but I get a way better starting point in C1 it feels like. Especially with the “flatter” Sony files.

Open to any advice or suggestions that save me some $$$ and time haha

How to copy keywords from one image to another BUT source/destination images are in different folders?

I can't seem to figure out how to copy keywords from image A in folder X to image B in folder Y. I can copy/apply within the same folder, but not across folders in a Catalog.

What am I missing here?

I'm using the Adjustments Clipboard within the Metadata/Keywords panel. The global Copy/Apply all adjustments does not seem to help either.

If any capture One staffers are reading, I've always hated how C1 does keywords. It's either very manual or never intuitive. I often forget basic keywords functions beyond simply typing them in via the Keywords dialog. Aperture did this so much simpler for the user.

Export with keywords in file name?

I have a large job that NEEDS to have the keywords exported with the files. I don't see them in the export options. Is there a way to do that?

C1 ’23 to ‘26

I have the perpetual license for 2023. I’m considering updating to the license since I’m tired of subscriptions and have two cameras that came out after that release.

Is it worth the upgrade? I’d prefer not to pay for Lightroom and C1 at the same time(have to for business)
