Before taking this course I was not effectivelly using all the functionality of Capture One to get the best out of my photographs. I am really glad that I subscribed to the Capture One Expert Course developed by Alex. Alex has produced an amazingly comprehensive course on getting the most of Capture One. I have been a user of Capture One for at least the past eight years, and as such thought I had a good understanding of the application. But, with Alex's Capture One Expert Course I have learnt so much more about how to really get the best out of Capture One. His teaching style is easy to follow, very comprehensive whilst offering tips and tricks to maximise the application. I really do feel he is personally involving me. A highly recommended course for anyone wanting to get the best out of Capture One, while maximising all the features with real-world examples to work with. For me, it has definitely been very valuable and I feel I have received excellent value for my money. This course, in combinination referencing the 'Photographer’s Guide to Capture One' ebook by Nils Wille Christoffersen, will enable anyone to get the absolute most out of the functionality of Capture One.

My initial challenge, as a Photoshop ACR/Lightroom user, was to navigate and achieve professional looking images using Capture One. Whilst there are a myriad of excellent You Tube videos out there I was looking for a course that would take me through the whole platform in a clear and concise manner. This is it! Alex's Capture One Expert Course is outstanding. The course content is well presented with lots of tips and insights, taking you through a fully professional workflow. My only con is that anyone taking the course should have at least a rudimentary grasp of C1. Fortunately, I was able to make full use of the modules and now that I have completed the course I will go back and review the whole course again. I real pro is that you are able to download each lesson. What I also love is all the 'free' materials, add-ons and links to other reading. In sum, I highly recommend this course not only to those new to Capture One but to seasoned users who want to brush up on their skill level. Thank you Alex for all your hard work and to me - money well spent.

I've been a Capture One user for several years now but I think I've only used it basicly until now. I've been following Alex's blog for quite a few years now and when I saw his course "Capture one expert" I didn't hesitate a second! He explains to us in a very clear and simple way how each of the tools works and reacts. In addition to that, he teaches us lots of tips that you won't find in any manual or other web page. I loved the part on the subtleties of exposure and color work. This course made me want to go further in the use of capture one. It's a more than recommendable course. A huge time saver for anyone who wants to learn this software.

I have used Lightroom since its first release in 2007 for post processing my Nikon and Fuji images, but I wasn’t always satisfied with the results, especially for my Fuji photos. I thus downloaded and installed Capture One Pro 8 in 2014. For almost 10 years now, I have only been using Capture One, but in fact prior to AlexonRAW’s Expert Course, I had only been scratching its surface, using mainly the Exposure, High Dynamic Range, Levels and Vignetting tools. I never used the Color Editor or Color Balance tools and Layers and Masking remained a mystery to me. I had no idea what a Style was or how to apply it. All of that has now changed by taking AlexonRAW’s Expert Course. The course is fantastic, with 25 high quality video lessons, 8 quizzes to test your comprehension of the instructional videos, and 10 image editing home works with feedback on your edits from Alex. RAW files and bonus materials for image editing practice are also provided, along with links to additional Capture One videos. I have learned so much from the course. I now feel comfortable using many of the tools that I had not previously used, including layers and masks, color correction and grading, batch editing, and applying styles. I have also learned how to access and use my ON1 plugins. This high quality course is so much better than other similar courses that I have followed, especially with the home works and quizzes that test your comprehension of the video lessons. In addition, Alex has been very responsive to the questions that I have asked him during the course. It is clear that he has spent a lot of time and effort to develop this excellent course which I highly recommend to all photographers who are serious about improving their expertise and efficiency in using Capture One. You will certainly speed up your workflow and improve the quality your editing. Thank you very much Alex. Richard Sylvester, LRPS https://www.sylvester-photo.com/

The course piqued my interest to make more use of shortcuts, shift-, Alt-option-key, ... which as a pure amateur photographer I did not do and even often did not know. The sistematic and thorough explanation of the different tools significantly increases the understanding of the mechanism of Capture One and therefore improve the workflow and the final result. Especially Part IV.: "Working with Color" taught me a lot of interesting knowledge. The addition of RAW files for practice is an excellent idea. Looking forward to follow-up courses ....

I just bought these without even trying the free ones and I'm very impressed! I tried them on my toughest images that I knew had problem WB and they're so good! What a time saver!! Coupled with the rest of the styles you get this is going to make life so much easier!

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.

The white balance styles are awesome! I’ve thrown some really challenging images at them and somehow they just work. I’ve spent 2 hours trying to trick them with alsorts of images from weddings, portraits, to neon light lit images and they hit the skin tone every time. One image I wasn’t 100% liking the portrait wb so I hit landscape neutral and that fixed that one instantly.

Day one purchase for me Alex, I'd have bought this for the WB changes alone as it's so fast and works about 90% of the time, which means I just have to match my other images to the ones that worked. Thanks for continuing to come up with creative ways to make capture one even better to use!

Summing up, I already mentioned in my review of Capture One that this software works very well in replicating look & feel of photos from film age and the Film Styles presets take this concept one step further by providing very good representation of various films. Presets included in the collection are great starting point and with so many to choose from... Everyone should find something that will fit their needs & post-processing style. Not only photographers who miss shooting film.

In my seven years of using Capture One, I have kept a high bar for finding the best help and insight from those presenting more than a “repackaging” of the user guide. Even today, rarely do I find an experienced user who goes beyond the surface of why and how to accomplish a single task. I have followed Alex’s concise newsletters for years and always finish reading one having learned something new, creative, and practical about Capture One workflow. Reading the preface of Capture One Hidden Features, you know that you are about to find a trove of insight that will advance your use of Capture One and RAW editing in general. Some features of Capture One truly are hidden, and Alex quickly brings them to light. For example, he explains how to completely change any color in an image, how the four separate saturation adjustments work in unique ways, and how to achieve all-around balance in image saturation. His integral presentation and examples of these concepts aren’t to be found elsewhere. The same goes for many other elements of RAW editing and processing in Capture One. His direct approach to why you would want a particular shortcut or workflow and the straightforward way to realize it is a real pleasure to read and quickly adapt into your own workflow.

I've had a list of things I wanted to automate in Capture One, but had never learned Apple Script very well. The Capture One Script Generator lets me describe what I want and within a few iterations it gives me the automation to save so many manual steps in Capture One. It is quick and amazing!

Since I started using Capture One Pro in my studio photography business, I have acquired some user reflexes. With each update, I stayed in my routine and did not take the time to master all the new features of this powerful software. Since I trained in "Alex on RAW" "Capture One Expert Course", I was finally able to discover the full potential of this great software. Now, I can optimize the quality of my photos and my work process from Capture One Pro thanks to Alex's training. His tutorial approach is of unparalleled rigor and simplicity. For example, you can follow Alex's training while applying his advice to your software at the same time. The exercises to be returned are criticized with kindness and relevance. As a professional packshot studio photographer for 30 years, I can only recommend Alex's products because they are of quality and the training is progressive. If you want to progress and master Capture One Pro which is an extraordinary software, then do not hesitate, invest in Alex's "Capture One Expert Course" training.

My client has years of jpeg images.  Many of them were taken of stage performances with bad lighting. The client used auto WB. As you can imagine, these images are really bad. My task has been to color correct. I made it through amount six months when I saw your ad for the WB styles. These have saved me hours of work. Thank you!

The AI Select and Match Look tools in Capture One are powerful tools. In the ‘Deep Dive into Match Look and AI Maslomg’ course, Alex gives an excellent overview of these tools and then dives into the many nuances of each. This is a great companion to Alex’s Capture One Expert Course.

All in all I highly recommend Film Styles. The filmpack makes me more creative, speed up my workflow and for the price of $49.99 I think this pack is something every Capture One user should try out.

I purchased these from Alex two days ago and have been having a brief play with them, and so far they seem to work great, plus it's handing to quickly view different white balances for the same image to see what works best creatively. I think these are going to be a very useful tool for my workflow.

Would I buy the Film Styles? Yes! There are still a few things missing but the price is fantastic and for Capture One users it's a fantastic opportunity to save some time on the workflow.

Alex is by far (IMO) the best Capture One instructor on the web. I've used his styles for many years and just finished his course. I started using Capture One way back at version 2.7. I thought I knew a fair amount about C1. After taking this course and learning many new tricks and workflow possibilities, I endorse Alex as the guy to help you strengthen your C1 skills and become proficient. I highly recommend his course and the styles.

Alex's Capture One Cheat Sheets are true mini-lessons that function as quick guides. Beyond reminding you of forgotten functions of the OPT and SHIFT keys across many tools, they give you a valuable understanding of why the order in which you use some tools in Capture One matters to your RAW files. After 9 years of using Capture One, I still find more than a few revelations and optimizations to my workflow from all of Alex's resources.

I created a script for Capture One a while ago to process multiple folders of photos, merge them to HDR, and apply various adjustments - all to give me a better starting point for editing. Since I work with high volumes of images, every second counts. I’ve tried several times, using different AI tools, to improve my script and eliminate the need for keyboard shortcuts or manual menu navigation. But in just half an hour with this tool, I was able to make significant improvements. The issue with relying on menus and keyboard shortcuts is that they can break - you have to keep track of the shortcuts, and dialog boxes may change after updates. This tool helps me avoid those pitfalls and streamline my workflow. I’ll definitely keep using it to make my life easier in Capture One and to save a lot of valuable time.

The AlexOnRaw Course on Practical AI is the best of many that I have watched. For each section of each of the five parts in the course Alex provides concrete examples. These examples anchor the explanations and make them easy to understand. For each part of the course the lesson materials contain a summary of key points., And most importantly a copy of the prompts or templates used. This made it easy to test different models myself and made it easy to copy the prompt structure. Definitely a very useful introduction to the practical use of AI.

I just bought a Leica M240 - which is not the real Whitebalance Master ;) - but with your tool I can just mange to set the WB with one click and edit the Picture so quick and easy.

I highly recommend Capture One Hidden Features for all photographers from the very experienced to the advanced newbie. I don’t claim to be a Capture One expert. On the contrary, I consider myself to be an advanced newbie. I’ve watched dozens of YouTube videos, read articles and followed Alex for some time. And while I’ve only transitioned from LightRoom to Capture One a few months ago, I was amazed at the amount of the book’s content I was immediately able to use even as a newbie. Within the first 50 pages, I was able to move myself towards a much more efficient workflow utilizing, hidden to me, shortcuts and some of Alex’s recommended customizations and preferences. I’ll admit that the book does have a professional experienced Capture One user in mind and it quickly introduces things I didn’t even know existed. Yet, everything was presented so clearly that even a newbie like me was able to get tremendous benefit.

Is it worth the money? I would defiantly say yes. The styles are strong, diverse, authentic and are a great starting point to bring that extra bit of life to your images. Sometimes the hardest part of an editing workflow is deciding on the look and feel of your images. The new styles are great to skim through, allowing you to view a range of styles instantly. Even if you apply the styles and edit from there on they give you a great starting point sometimes one you would never have considered.

I faced no challenges with Alex’s courses as they were incredibly straightforward and easy to understand. I found Alex’s scrips extremely valuable as they made my Capture One workflow much smoother and more efficient. I would definitely recommend Alex’s products to fellow photographers and digital technicians, and I already have because of their ease of use and overall improvement to performance in Capture One.

Capture one is a great tool for editingcontinuously your photos and the software engineers are working hard to implement new features. Therefor it is very useful for me to have some notes about all these tools how to use and what they do. The cheat sheets of Alex were exactly what is was looking for. They are on my desk next to my computer and are for me very helpful.
