As most of you know, the Light Painting workflow and shooting experience is greatly enhanced by tethered shooting. Tethered shooting means that our camera is connected to the computer, and using software, we write the captures directly to the computer’s hard drive.
This isn’t the main reason that we use tethering, however… there is a huge benefit in being able to see a large preview of our image, but an even bigger advantage is that we can use the software, as I like to say, as “the world’s best light meter”. In other words, by moving the exposure slider, we can see exactly how under-exposed or over-exposed our image is. This allows us to determine an exact exposure correction, and in Light Painting, where there are so many variables, removing this one is a big help.
I’ve been using Capture One since I made my very first digital capture, and I’ve seen the program develop into not only the best tethering software, but also into a very advanced RAW processor, one with amazing local color correction tools not found in any other tethering software.
