Capture One Styles Presets Download: Elevate Your Workflow with Latitude and Deep Forest

As a retoucher, I'm always excited to explore new tools that can help me achieve the desired look for my clients. Recently, Capture One introduced a new Style series titled Latitude, which includes two packs - Latitude | Deep Forest and Latitude | Sunbound. In this article, we'll take a closer look at these styles and how they can be used in a realistic workflow to elevate your files.

For instance, I see the curve has been modified to deepen the midtones and shadows while still adding some fade. With Capture One's new Style feature, you can now modify opacity, which gives you more control over the final output. This is especially useful when working with fashion images or travel photos.

One of the best things about these styles is that they're named after landscapes, but I wanted to see how they would work with fashion images. The result was stunning - rich deep mono-tone inspired tones that added a unique touch to my client's portfolio.

Before getting into the tutorial, I'd like to extend a special thanks to Ausra Babiedaite for her amazing work on these styles. These packs are designed to give you flexibility and creative freedom when working with raw files.

Let's start by looking at the raw file without any adjustments. As you can see, it's quite flat and lacks the depth we're looking for. But with Capture One's Styles feature, you can add a new layer and tweak the opacity to suit your taste.

For instance, I love the look of DF-07 - Schwarzwald from the Deep Forest set. It produces these rich deep mono-tone inspired tones that are perfect for fashion images or travel photos. You can right-click on the style and add it to a layer, which gives you more control over the final output.

What's great about these tools is that they give clients the opportunity to learn more about the possibilities of how they can modify their raw files in order to get specific looks. As a retoucher, I communicate directly with my client when we need to produce a color grade. Being able to use the Color Editor for creative tweaking or the Color Balance tool is so much fun for color grading.

Remember that you can download a free Capture One trial here and start experimenting with these styles today. Whether you're working on commercial or editorial projects, Capture One's Latitude Styles are sure to take your work to new frontiers of color.

Join me in this tutorial as we explore the Latitude Styles and how they can be used in a realistic workflow to elevate some of your new and old files in a short period of time. With these styles, you'll never run out of creative possibilities - and that's what makes Capture One so unique.
