Capture One Training

Sign Up
Capture One is not currently run as a standalone course — these topics are covered as part of private photography lessons. Give me a call and we'll tailor a program to your needs.

This course is for any photographer who wants to learn RAW editing from scratch, or switch from Adobe Lightroom to Capture One.

The course runs online via Zoom. The lesson format is simple and hands-on — I share my screen showing Capture One, and you follow along with each editing technique. If something isn't working, I look at your screen and walk you through it. You can edit either my sample files or your own.

Not sure whether RAW editing is worth it for you? Watch a short lesson on RAW and a simple Capture One editing example: youtu.be/ruSokzpdBGM.

You can sign up anytime — lessons start as soon as a group forms. We begin with a trial lesson: we'll test the connection, and I'll help you install the software if needed and answer any preliminary questions. Sign up by calling +38 063-700-06-02 or through the form on the contact page. First consultation is free.
