Capture One Levels RGB

The full Capture One Levels RGB set contains 115 presets divided over 1 main and 5 subfolders – Shadow, Mid Tone, Highlight, Target Shadow and Target Highlight. All 5 control handles of the RGB channel of the tool are covered by this set. All presets can be used both separately and combined through stacking.

Please note that this set of presets is also available as part of the larger Preset Collection Exposure, which contains presets for other tools as well.

More

There is a complementary set called Capture One Levels Channels available. This set has similar presets and functionality for each of the remaining channels, Red, Green, and Blue. By combining both sets you have an extremely comprehensive set of presets for the Levels tool at your disposal.

Compatibility

The presets are compatible with both Capture One 8/9/10/11/12/20 on Mac and Windows. They might work with older versions but at your own risk. It is recommended to test with the free trial first.

Warning

The presets in this set allow you to control each of the control handles independently per color channel. This is non-default behavior and achieved by manually editing each preset. These enhancements work great on Mac and allow you to get the max out of this tool. Unfortunately, these enhancements are not yet supported on Capture One 8 and 9 on Windows. See Try First below.

Apart from the enhancements mentioned, these presets are bound to a restriction in Capture One Pro that in a preset each handle is linked to the same handle on other channels. In other words, in a preset, all black points for all channels are connected and can not be handled independently from each other through presets. This is by design.

Languages

Both the full and the trial set contain the presets in English, German, French, and Dutch.

Try First

There is a free trial set available for download. It is a subset of the full set, containing 22 (out of 115) presets. You are highly encouraged to try these first before you buy the full set, in particular when working on Windows (see Warning) or use an older version of Capture One Pro (see Compatibility).

You can also download all free trial presets in one package, the Preset Collection Free Trials set.
