There are also close to 100 of them when you buy all the packs so it takes a LONG time to scroll through each (and dismiss them as ugly). Maybe one or two actually enhance the photo, but with a bit of tweaking in C1P or Photoshop I could have attained the same in not a lot of time. The Styles are generally horrible - I would say 90% simply overexpose the image and 50% add horrible grain. They are available separately for 89 or as a bundle with the DT Capture One Styles Pack for 199.

Because of the enormous effort that it required to fully emulate the Fuji Pro 400H emulsion these styles are NOT part of the 129 Capture One pack. Thanks, you have made me more depressed!!! I just wish I had known this when I shelled out for the Styles. It’s a softer look that many find useful for high contrast or backlit natural light scenes. I absolutely echo that NOONE should buy this horrible and expensive add on product - presets can be good, I have some ( small percentage of the million available) in LR that I like, but the CO styles are pretty nasty. Anything else will need tweaking, which you can do on your own.Ĭompletely agree - the styles are as overpriced and ineffectual as could possibly be - I rarely find they work for anything. Styles and presets (for Lightroom, Capture One or any other software) are always useless, because they only perfectly fit the picture used to sell them.

I think I was expecting miracles, and the marketing images looked so impressive, but the Styles are just not worth it, certainly not at the discounted price of £200 let alone the full price.Ĭapture One Pro is an impressive piece of software that has a steep learning curve, but do yourself a favour and save the money you would spend on the Styles - just download the free set and leave it at that. And the b/w ones aren't particularly nice either The worst thing is that they are ALL indistinguishable - most of them all look exactly the same. Well, I have never felt more disappointed about a relatively expensive purchase especially one that it is not possible to on-sell. I have had post-purchase dissonance in the past and the good news is that if you spend a lot of money on something and really don't like it, you can always try and re-sell it to recover some money. I am posting this for the benefit of other would-be purchasers in case they also search for Capture One Pro Styles reviews and comments: do yourself a massive favour AND DON'T BUY THEM! I had read some reviews online that were generally positive and the marketing images looked excellent. Late last year I shelled out over £200 for the complete bundle of Capture One Styles. A street photograph with the Basics Portrait Capture One -styleĪs always I share my styles and hopefully you find it useful as is or tweaked to your taste.I posted this in the Open Forum before realising this forum existed (the DPR Forums are so out of date and need a total revamp, but that's another issue).

I didn’t name the style after the Astia, but naming it “Portrait”, or more precisely “Basics Portrait”, according to the idea of the style’s origin’s purpose to be aimed for portrait photography.

Especially one can find differences in certain blue hues and the skin gets a bit redder here than with the Astia film simulation. And the colors are matched as well as possible, though these never are exact copies. The basis I made this style on was my Natural Luma -style. This style is quite similar to the Astia.

I wanted to have a similar style to be used with my recent camera’s raw-files and baked a style for Capture One. The main purpose mentioned for that film simulation is portrait because of it’s colors and tone curves, but it worked well for landscapes and with some tweaking I found it worked with everyday subjects best of all the film simulations (subjective, I know). I liked Pro Neg High for people photos and some others for colorful landscapes for example, but again and again I found so many faces for the Astia film simulation that it just kept coming back and in the end it was the film simulation I used on daily basis. Surprisingly the one film simulation that I rejected in the beginning started to please me more and more. During the time I used a Fujifilm camera I used a lot of energy deciding which of the film simulations work for me best.
