The industry-standard and best-selling guide to photo workflow since 2009

Capture One Survival Kit 22.3
by Thorsten Overgaard

Now with video tutorials

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.

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.

Now comes
with video tutorials

Thorsten Overgaard tell about skin tones, editing black and white, what is sharpness, how to build an archive, and how to travel the world as an artist.

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 straight 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."

New revised version

This is the most revised version ever of the best-selling Surival Kit by Thorsten Overgaard. This new version includes many new chapters, on Capture One on iPad and how to add keywords better, as well as more than 3+ hours of videos tutorials with Thorsten Overgaard.

One of the things people experience in using Capture One for the first time (especially coming from Lightroom) is that it looks confusing. When you have used it for a couple of hours, you will see the simplicity and elegance.

One of the most valuable tools in my Capture One Survival Kit is the one about which things to disregard, pointing out the few things you have to use – and then how to use them the best.

You will see the simplicity, speed of workflow and improved quality after having used Capture One just a few hours.
