With familiar fade and grit aesthetics, they capture the nostalgia of old childhood photos and are great for portraits, weddings and lifestyle photography. I think the main pitch was to persuade potential buyers that having a vast selection of styles available was a justification for purchasing the software even though they would be unlikely to use most of what was offered. The Kodak Portra Film collection features 30 fantastic Capture One film styles from the golden era of analog. However, in all cases a lot of scrolling was evident (quantity of styles being important for sales?) even though the presenter, using his own images, almost always used exactly the same 2 or 3 styles for all of his images no matter what the content subject matter. I recall, perhaps a decade or more past, watching some sales video guides for a different product that offered a huge number of styles. It seems to me that the Built-in and Paid-for packs would need to be offered just as they are and it should be left to the user to turn them into User Styles and Presets, sitting alongside their own Styles, in order to manage how they are grouped (and, as now, permit multiple copies of the same Style or Preset to make grouping in preferred "sets" simpler? Also to provide consistent use of the Keyboard Shortcut feature.) (I am not sure as I do not have any paid for Packs.) The same goes for Style Packs with the difference that, potentially, they would bot be automatically updates with each update or version upgrade. (There may be some issues about managing those styles and who has the rights to modify them if working in a Multi-User environment but that probably goes beyond the scope being discussed here.)įor Built in styles that are not copied to be User styles one can still modify the structure (i.e the Style Sets groups) used for delivery as part of the application installation BUT as the next new installation the styles and presets will be re-installed (potentially with some updates for functional compatibility reasons). However, as a thought challenge for how to work with a development design, there are certain considerations.įor User Styles (including copies of Built in styles and presets, as Okular has previously described) there is already the possibility to create and save a folder structure containing the required styles. User Presets made by the Clarity tool can also be applied from the Layers tool when the localized application is required.I'm not a great Styles user so this does not really concern me much. User Presets in Capture One can be accessed via the individual tools’ Manage Presets menu (three-bars icon) in the title bar or in the Styles and Presets tool. If preparing a library, select New Folder and name it using the selected Method, such as Neutral, for instance, then name the preset Clarity_30_Structure_min40 and select Save.Give the preset a relevant name, such as Punch_Clarity_30_Structure_min40, and select Save.If you select Save, a System dialog opens. Add checkmarks next to Clarity and Structure, select Save to keep the preset or Cancel to dismiss.In the Clarity tool's Manage menu (three-bars icon), select Save User Preset. The Save Preset dialog window opens.Go to the Clarity tool and make the desired adjustments using the Method, Clarity, and Structure sliders.If a large library is required, create a folder for each of the four methods, and save the presets with incremental slider adjustments (as they are in a flat-list, you can apply and see the effects quickly by scrolling over them). When using the Clarity tool, it makes sense to create a small library of User Presets as the fast rendering between them on-screen is well-suited to display the subtle differences in various settings.
