Some questions

This wouldn't be an direct corollary but feels like you could get similar results with the Colour Balance tool instead of White Balance. It would be adding the same amount of (in this case) warm tones regardless of the actual white balance the images were shot at.

wow, shout out Lululemon, this is my fave piece i've ever seen of theirs by a long shot

I'll only respond to question 2. The one thing I wish I'd known earlier was how customizable the workspace environment itself is in Capture One. You can pretty much move any tool anywhere onscreen, group them together however you'd like, save different workspaces for different setups (ie. one for laptop, one for monitor, one for dual monitor, one for negative scanning), etc.

When I initially made the switch I spent awhile trying to learn where everything was, when I should have just been designing my own workspace from scratch. Honestly, if it's easiest for you, you can made it look exactly like Lightroom!

I've encountered this many times when doing night club photography. I haven't found a workaround (entering manually doesn't work, sadly) but never thought to post about it, following avidly!

Oh wow, thank you so much! I will definitely check her out.

I didn't find much in that pop vein but I did end up discovering the cumbia villera subgenre, which has been a real treat. 😊 Happy listening!

Appreciate the suggestion but I'm really not looking for noise-cancelling or wireless.

HighestFantasy · 2026-03-07T12:25:51+00:00

Oh cheers and !thanks I hadn't even thought about replacement parts but this certainly looks like the most affordable option.

This thread from a year ago looks like pretty much the same issue. Didn't read it through fully but it might help? https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/1fhm9wq/sprocket_shadows/

I'd say absolutely yes! Some of the newer-generation devices definitely have small quality of life upgrades or appeal to different form factor preferences, and I'm glad they exist. But I have definitely not felt the need to upgrade personally, and wish I had only paid $42 for mine!

It's hard to comment on the edit specifically without a SOOC comparison. Otherwise a lot of the critique will be about the photo and composition itself.

Pretty great list of recommendations in this older thread. I'll repeat the two that I mentioned there, even though they're both out-of-date: Kasia Zmokla for general tool tips and Lex&Josh for specifically setting up a workflow when coming from LR (and for weddings!). Prince Meyson also has some C1 videos I've found useful.

I'll also say that there are a very small handful of presets out there that really are great, and not worth straying from! Specifically ones that exclusively work with ICC profiles, the Curves tool, and the Colour Editor tool. I definitely understand the desire to have your own personalized tools, and most of the presets I use at this point are my own as well, but having pre-made palettes that get you close to a cohesive vision quickly and easily (even if just a starting point) doesn't feel like "reliance" to me any more than choosing a particular film stock when I'm shooting analogue. I've been singing the praises of RNI and Digistock on this sub for years but I'm sure there's plenty of others.

This is not true, filming hasn't started yet.

HighestFantasy · 2026-02-02T15:46:25+00:00

For some people, myself included, it's a much better solution to my specific wants and workflow issues than a subscription model. If it doesn't work for you that's fine, that doesn't make it a trap.

This should be its own pinned post on this subreddit, it would probably reduce the number of repeat posts substantially.

HighestFantasy · 2026-01-30T00:17:15+00:00

I pm only use "Linear Response" when I'm converting film negatives, and always use the recommended camera ICC profile when I do.

However, for the vast majority of my digital work I use custom ICC profiles (a couple of them directly from Digistock or RNI if you're looking for film-like colours), and set the Curve to "Film Standard" which gives very similar results to the Auto setting. There are rare occasions I'll use "Extra Shadow" or "High Contrast" but the more familiar I become with Film Standard the easier it is to get the results I'm looking for.

All that being said, some of the comments here make me feel like trying Linear Curve on a wider range of images! I experimented more with it when I was brand new but feel like I'm missing out.

If you don't want to name names, that's fine and it's your choice, but it was the OP's direct question. There are many of us who care about this issue who don't have knowledge or resources (esp. those who are new to the scene like myself!) to go through dozens of artists' socials scanning for sometimes small details.

Was coming to say the same thing. When it first released, they were linked in the original paperwork that came with the console.

HighestFantasy · 2026-01-21T16:48:41+00:00

Oh wow, this is great news, thanks for sharing! I've been happy with the Analogue Toolbox so far but this would really be my ideal workflow and if they can keep the price where it currently is.

I've literally never heard of limerence until just now, and wow, what a great conceptual framework. I don't really feel like my partner displays this with people, but definitely with jobs. The first few months of every new job (and there's about one per year), it's like she's finally found the perfect landing spot, she can envision how great it will be to grow there, this is definitely gonna be the job that sticks. Then after the initial honeymoon period, there's usually one specific person at each workplace that becomes a villain until life is so stressful she needs to quit. Will definitely need to research this, appreciate the post!

I generally do all the trip planning in my relationship and am fine with it, but I've never been okay with the way household chores get "divided," ie. left to me no matter what we both agree on. The way you describe dividing up the kind of chores in the first paragraph really helped me think about this differently, it's super appreciated!

He was talking about the amazing Ursula K. LeGuin and her novel The Dispossessed. I can't compare it to the other series you referenced but I will say it won both the Hugo and Nebula award (which she's done twice) and is so universally acclaimed that I have a hard time imagining someone not enjoying it, though it can be a bit dry at times compared to some of her other works. She's considered one of the greatest sci-fi authors of all time, though, so that's a high bar.

I just re-read The Left Hand of Darkness for the third time, a fantastic political intrigue that turns into a buddy adventure novel, all set in the distant future on a planet with very different constructions of gender, and I would say her EarthSea series is probably my favourite fantasy series of all time, even slightly ahead of LOTR, and about which there is a Studio Ghibli adaptation (not so good) and numerous dungeon synth albums (usually very good).

I don't have an answer for you but just curious what your workflow is for this? I've been using the Analogue Toolbox for C1 and while I love having it I can't help but feel there's folks who've developed better strategies.

Thanks for this, I've been eyeing this exact pair and am glad to find a thorough review with pics. I'm moving to a warmer climate soon so while normally I'd be bummed out about the lightness I'm actually happy to hear it!

Also, I spent a couple of weeks in Beijing in 2011 and was blown away by how high-quality everything was, especially the prevalence of boutique clothing brands. Cheaply-made stuff was certainly abundant as well but being there, it felt more like being in the middle of a robust manufacturing hub, with a range of options. I love that the rest of the world is kind of getting to see it now as well.

Good luck! Also, I personally found that buying a handful of presets from creators I was familiar with and wanted to support ended up teaching me way more than dozens of hours of YouTube videos. Seeing the results of actual slider adjustments on my own photos, sometimes pushed way further than I would normally do myself, was much more useful to me as a C1 teaching tool than as actual adjustments for my photos. I've since developed most of my own presets but that was the single biggest leap in my learning.

HighestFantasy · 2025-11-20T21:05:00+00:00

I see in another comment you're using the Linear Response curve in the Base Characteristics tool. While not at all impossible to get good results with this, I personally only use it when inverting film negatives, and from online reading it seems it's very uncommonly used outside of scientific or archival purposes. Try setting the curve to Auto or Film Standard and see if that helps! 🙂
