Along with new gear support, Capture One 10.2 also fixes a number of bugs that you may have experienced in previous versions. Check out more about Capture One Pro on their website.
Also announced is a new Styles Pack. The “Spectrum” pack features color grading presets for Capture One that are more subtle than the other available packs. The Spectrum Styles Pack contains 15 different color grading styles coming in two different strengths each (30 total options). Checking it out briefly, I enjoy the results from what they did with this one. My feeling is that the previous packs are more for a full creative direction, whereas the Spectrum pack is more of a finisher.
The Spectrum Styles Pack is priced at $49, $20 less than the other currently available packs. You can learn more about Styles Packs and purchase the presets from the Phase One website.
What I still don't get with Styles Pack and/or Presets is why does it have to cost so much for pre-tweaking the sliders on the software?
Convenience and accessibility. Many users look at sliders as if it's in another language. It's important to remember that photography is a representation of both technical and creative execution. Understanding one of those sides does not necessarily mean you will understand the other.
For reference, as of early 2016, VSCO had 30 million active monthly users (I couldn't find more recent stats!). That is a lot of users who want the power of post processing without needing a comprehensive understanding of photo editing.
Well I completely understand what you're trying to say, but I am not questioning the usefulness of presets but rather the pricing of such especially the ones from the developers of the software itself.
If I am to ask, with the premium you are paying, it should be somehow included in the package, right?
neither!
Neither what?
Biggest thing I still want is the ability to reduce the results of a Style. I do this with LUTs in FCPX. Apply the LUT then use a slider to reduce it's effect until the image gets where I like it, depending on the image.
I find there are a lot of Styles I like however there are plenty of times where they're too much and just need to be toned down slightly.
Speaking of LUTs, I also want Capture One to accept LUTs.
I agree with you on that. Most presets are far too heavy handed.
I also have this problem. This is one thing that using presets in Photoshop did better than Lightroom. You could just reduce the opacity of layer with the preset until you got what you wanted.
If capture 1 pro wants more money they should reduce the price of C1P. I have and use the Sony only version that costs $ 50 USA, if C1P had "single" brand versions for Nikon, Canon, Fuji then Adobe would be in real trouble. Expand the user base, $ 300 is way too much for a raw converter. Presets are fine but most of the time they cost too much.
Agreed. I miss Aperture only costing $79.
