Those who prefer more cinematic looks may want to stick to what’s offered there.Īnd then there are those of us who love black and white.Ĭhris Gampat is the Editor in Chief, Founder, and Publisher of the Phoblographer. Folks who like one style in their images may go with the Seasonal looks and simply edit from there. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both very different and perhaps that’s the reason why I don’t think both will make sense. For example, I’m not sure it makes sense to have both the Cinematic and the Seasonal pack. Those who have more fine tuned and tailored looks will find great reasons to purchase just one pack that suits their particular creative vision. So for that reason, I strongly suggest that the beginners may want to go with the sample pack or the Essentials. But the more experienced among us may use these simply as a starting point and just make minor touch ups depending on how we shot the images. Of course, I was listening to cinematic music–the Nolan Batman trilogy to be exact! Cinematicįor the less experienced among us using Capture One, you may want to use a preset and then edit to your heart’s content quite heavily. In fact, I found editing my images to the Cinematic pack helped give me a bit more inspiration. ![]() The black and white options stray towards either looking like an artistic Justin Timberlake music video to the Cabinet of Dr. For example, the cinematic pack has a few black and white options while there are otherwise a number of color looks. Seasonal presetĮach pack has its own strengths and weaknesses. In the end, I decided to go black and white though. ![]() For example, I’m not a fan of a lot of the matte settings but I will admit a lot of them looked very good when overlaid on the image above. In general though, some photographers may gravitate towards one or the other based on the colors, lighting, and their own unique tastes. There are a large number of styles in each pack. Personally, I prefer the heavily backlight, star studded look that would otherwise go with the image. This gave a bit more detail I’m sure some folks would otherwise complain about losing. For this review’s opening photo, I used a cinematic preset and then killed the highlights a bit in the dynamic range panel. Depending on what I wanted, I’d then adjust another parameter like the highlights. After that, I’d just slap on the preset (style). From there you can edit away at will.ĭue to the way I shoot, I either locked my white balance to 5500 (daylight) or 3200 (tungsten) and depending on how I wanted the colors to be rendered I’d increase my exposure by a stop or leave it as is. Except in this case, the rendition goes over your actual photo vs the miniature preview, so you can experience it in its full glory. Similar to Lightroom, all you need to do to get a preview of the Style’s rendering on your image is to hover over it.
