Knudsen encourages you to think about the shadows and light constantly shifting around you – and how it changes your perception of colour. “There’s often a misunderstanding that it is very simple to profile a camera,” says the Color Professor, “You simply take a picture of a color chart, analyze it with some technology and voila – the colors show up accurately in your software just like they did in real life.”īut this wouldn’t account for the fact that a camera lens has limited capabilities compared to the color that the human eye can see. ![]() That’s when you’re free to unleash your creativity and keep your photo true-to-life – or go crazy with our tools to create something totally new.Īs brands continue to release cutting-edge cameras, like the Sony Alpha 1 or Fujifilm GFX 100, it becomes even more important to act fast and make sure that our color processing can match the power and precision of your hardware.īut what goes into creating a camera profile – and how can you replicate real-life color in a 2D photo? In this blog, we’ll let you into our development lab and introduce you to our very own color professor, Niels Knudsen, who plays a big role in developing Capture One’s unique camera profiles. We mean that we’ve calibrated the colors from your camera by hand, so that when your photo is imported into Capture One, your colors and details look as authentic as possible, just like when you captured it. When we say your camera is supported in Capture One, we don’t just mean that you can edit files from that camera in our photo editing software. That’s where our camera profiles and true-to-life color processing come in. Like an artist needs a beautiful blank canvas, it’s also important to have the best possible starting point for your editing. Want to create your best possible photo? It takes more than powerful editing tools to make an amazing image come to life. How do you accurately capture real-life color in a 2D photo? We open up the doors to our development lab and let you in on the secret of Capture One’s hand-calibrated camera profiles. ![]()
