How to Set-Up Your Tethered Hardware
If we talk a little bit about connection, most cameras that, well actually all cameras that will tether into Capture One it's just a simple USB connection, so nothing, no more complex than that, you can see here that we're using this great cable, which is really designed for the job by Tether Tools, and also specifically also on the end cable, on this end, just for kind of a bit of safety net and protection is also another little gadget from Tether Tools just to help secure that connection 'cause you know USB connections are quite small, it doesn't go super deep into the camera there's always some clumsy guy like me on set who is gonna, you know, trip over the cable and so on so any sort of security like that is a good thing making a connection like this, the cable obviously is very important and also to observe, you know USB protocols so even if you can buy some, like 20 foot massive USB cable, it won't necessarily tether reliably, so the cables that Tether Tools sell, for example, co...
nform to those specifications so you should have a trouble free connection, USB connection into your laptop is just normal, if you're wondering what this funny little white thing is, 'cause my laptop is USB-C only, one of the new MacBook Pros, so I just need a small converter like that to convert it, otherwise straight into USB if you have any connection issues, 99.9% of the time it's related to USB power or the cables so switch out the cable, if you don't get a reliable connection, quite often you might find another USB port on the Mac gives you a better option, or failing that, a powered USB hub, plenty of those available from all different places, will give you that stable power connection on the USB connection, so just remember use a good quality cable, correct length for USB, try different ports on the Mac if you have an issue, use a powered USB hub for ultimate reliability

This is a good overview of Capture One 10. The course is well structured and presented logically and progressively with clear and concise examples. The software is intricate and the amount of details presented will benefit from a second or third viewing, along with sufficient practice. David is an excellent teacher, slow enough to follow, fast enough to keep the listener's interest. I would agree with a previous reviewer that the shooting session was uninspired but the tethered demo was thoroughly useful nevertheless for someone to become an assistant, for instance. If you have ever used LR in this role, you will appreciate the power and stability of C1 for tethering. With regards to the comment about this class being non-creative; before you can run you have to walk and this course is all about understanding how to operate the software not about what you eventually want to do with it. Capture One is well designed, speedy and its homogeneous interface makes it easy to get to a result once you have a good knowledge of its layout and principles, compared for example with LR which is all over the place with modes, inconsistent and slow operations. Likewise, the C1 color editor is miles ahead of LR color functions, in simplicity and overall efficiency. This class is about mechanics for a reason; creativity is a parallel stream. It would have been beneficial to have a module highlighting major differences with LR for people migrating to Capture One as the word on the street is that C1 is hard. I would suggest to listen in to convince yourself of the contrary. All in all, I recommend this class; it is time well invested if you want to become more comfortable with Capture One and discover its potential.

I recently purchased Capture One because I needed a RAW converter that was more dependable and also more reliable when it came to shooting tethered. I also noticed that many of the photogs I follow really enjoy using Capture One and rave about its efficiency. After looking at a few YouTube videos I decided that I needed something more thorough and of course CreativeLive delivered. This is an excellent course and David Grover is a superb instructor. His in depth and thorough knowledge of the software is obvious but his manner of speaking and the simplicity with which he provides directions makes it easy to learn Capture One and lets you appreciate a sophisticated and expertly engineered software. If you're working with Capture One 11, layers is a little different than in version 10 but otherwise everything David discusses is the same. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and will continue to refer back to sections as needed. Thank you Creative Live and David Grover!!

The course is excellent and David does a nice job. However, I'm an advanced armature, not a professional. I had my own personal color darkroom, then Photoshop/Bridge, and NIK which I still use occasionally. My intention is to rely on Capture One which I purchased about 90 days ago. I would have appreciated a SIMPLE, here is how you load (Import) an image, "save" or "save as" and how to simply export an image (Variant). Yes those items are covered but, David has a tendency to casually and very quickly jump from Tool Tabs or Cursor Tools or the Tool Bar and then magically it's done and he has moved on. How did he do it. Based on David's training, I love the results I get with Capture One Pro. Yes, I know this is not Photoshop - it's much better. I never used Lightroom. I added variant to my vocabulary and I understand all the tools. I still struggle with the simple import, save, save as, and export of a image I worked on and cropped, then trying to consistently open that image as I see it in Capture One Pro. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I don't know why. I will continue to re-review the course materials and I will figure it out. I know there is something simple I missed as David navigated the various tools and pull downs. I recommend this class but it does little for the armature. Capture One Pro is second nature to him and he knows all the ins and outs. I would help me a lot if he just add a 5 minute intro, importing an image from a folder, just crop it, then export the variant and open it in Photoshop.
