Awesome! This book is for the basically informed user who needs as much extra knowledge about Capture One as possible. It is written with just the right amount of explanations and good illustrations, it is straight to the point, logically organized, super useful and super usable. I can recommend it to anyone who knows the basics and would like to step forward to the expert level.

I am fashion photographer and the only application for editing I use is Capture one. The good skintone, fashionable color toning, preserving right amount of color and detail - are the absolute must for my photography. I work with high end retouchers, and one of my teachers was Thomas Wiedenhofer from IED Milan, and if you know the guy - you understand what I am talking about and how difficult is to surprise me. Alex on Raw presets for Capture 1 - is a pure joy to use and the amount of work done by Alex has surprised me a lot, Its one of the most clean and smart tool to use and it helps a lot to simplify the job done. You press the button, you mix, you change opacity of layers and you get almost perfect picture, no matter what. Another important issue - clean colours in shadows, the skin is still the skin, it looks clean - I can't but repeat - Alex knew what he is doing and how to get professional result. I am very impressed and happy to use it. I had deleted half of my other presets immediately. I am pretty sure Alex on Raw will be my way to go tool for many fashion shootings. Thank you Alex.

As a Capture One user since day one, I must say this book gave me new insights into Capture One. Particularly helpful tips to improve my Capture One work. Well invested time and money.

I’m writing this review for everyone who thinks they already know everything about Capture One. People who have spent hours learning the fine points. People who don’t think they will learn anything new from this book. That’s what I thought, and yet I came away with lots of new ideas about how to streamline my workflow and exploit features. And Alex‘s enthusiasm comes through on every page. This read was such a pleasure!

I might say I have for a long time dismissed styles in Capture One after looking at a few of the early ones which were very extreme and didn't fit with my image style, but after buying your Toolkit and book I thought I'd re-visit them as layers and have found them to be a really useful and quick way to get a starting image to refine as I want - and they also let me quickly run through edit ideas I would never have considered, which can only improve my output - so already my purchase has paid off! Thank you!

Highly recommended! Priced at a fraction of a single photoshoot it's great value for money.
