So what I do is I set the white balance on one picture where I judge her skin tone to be good, and then apply it to the remaining images. But is it easier to desaturate her dress to get pure white or to correct redness on her face?

Now, you are probably going to tell me that then her dress will not be white anymore. Setting it according to her skin tone to get the same tone across all images would correct that problem. Setting the white balance according to her dress would leave her face red. Because in her head she was beautiful on that day! However, the bride probably does not care about this. Once the reception starts, the alcohol will probably not help with the redness. However, after she stayed under bright sunlight for a couple of hours (ceremony, couple pictures, formal photos, cocktail, etc.), chances are her face turned slightly red, or at least is more saturated because she tanned. Your bride is most likely looking gorgeous in the morning after her makeup is done. Why is it so great? Well, the reason is quite simple.

Capture One Pro 9 has the perfect tool for wedding photographers: a white balance picker that will work based on skin tones. The first thing I do is correcting the white balance. Now that I am left with only the pictures I like and that are usable, I start color correcting them. Step 5: White Balance According to Skin Tone Check out this video tutorial for customizing your shortcuts. Being able to customize shortcuts was a game-changer for me in that regard. The less the mouse is used, the faster we work! Any geek will confirm that. So whenever I click on an image, I can quickly adjust the exposure without the need to play around with the slider. Thanks to Capture One’s customizable shortcuts, I can increase or decrease the exposure by 1/10th of a stop using cmd+1 or cmd+2. While checking the focus I usually also correct the exposure when it is needed. This also helps me going through my pictures faster, because I don’t need to switch from one view or module to another.

With my custom workspace, I can even check an image in full size while still having the remaining images displayed in grid style, and not in tiny thumbnails.

In Capture One Pro 9, I simply activate the Focus Mask and use the focus point picker if a closer look is required. In my previous Lightroom workflow, I had to zoom in the picture, wait for the preview to load and check if it was sharp or not. The Focus Mask tool is useful to review quickly the images and see which are in focus and which aren’t. The first thing I then do in Capture One is checking which images are sharp, which ones are not, way under or over exposed and delete those that are not usable for any of these reasons. When the images are imported in my Capture One session, I’ll make sure to switch my workspace to my wedding custom workspace. Starting with fewer pictures, also allows Capture One to work faster because it will have to generate fewer previews and manage fewer files. Once this is done, I trash anything that is not flagged as a keeper and import the rest into a new Capture One session. Think of this step like preparing all the ingredients on the table before cooking, taking only what is really necessary to work. I do not zoom to see if the images are sharp I do not mind under or over exposed shots. My goal here is to keep anything that looks remotely deliverable. I get my number of pictures down to about 500-700 pictures. It takes me about 20-30 minutes to go through the whole wedding. In Photo Mechanics, I do not lose much time. Because it displays the JPEG file embedded in the Raw file, it is great to go quickly through the files of the day. My picture selection is split into two parts. Everyone knows how painful it is to select the keepers.

If I could get my portrait clients to look better with a simple software change, why shouldn’t I do the same for my wedding clients? It only took a couple of weeks before I switched my whole RAW processing workflow over to Capture One. Soon I realized the RAW files I developed with it looked much more pleasing to my taste. Shooting both portraits and weddings, I started using Capture One for tethered shooting in the studio. However, it is not so much the case in the wedding industry. When speaking with photographers, it’s apparent that Capture One has become quite wellknown amongst portrait, beauty, and fashion photographers.
