Capture One: Catalog Organization Made Simple (Free Course)
A Simple 1-Hour Capture One Workflow for Beginners
Have you ever opened your photo library and thought… “Where the heck is that image?”
Or found your photos scattered everywhere: on the Desktop, in the Downloads folder, a few on an external drive, and maybe three different folders called ‘Final_Selection’?
Yep… I’ve been there too.
When I started, my photos were all over the place — a total mess. And after over ten years of working with photographers during my workshops and in online 1-to-1 sessions, I’ve seen the same struggle over and over: no clear workflow, no structure, and edits gone missing after moving folders.
That’s why I’m really excited to share this Capture One full course with you. This was originally my paid course, and today I’m making it completely free here on YouTube.
What you'll learn
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
Set up your Capture One catalog from scratch and finally understand how it works
Import your photos confidently without losing files or duplicates
Move and organize your shots between drives without breaking links or edits
Build a reliable folder and metadata structure that keeps everything consistent
Create a fast, searchable image library so you can find any photo in seconds
If you’ve struggled with this, you’re in the right place. You don't need any prior knowledge of Capture One to get started. I will explain everything step by step in simple terms so you can build a solid foundation.
I'm sure this course will make you feel more confident in your understanding of the Capture One application and how it can work for you to set a strong foundation for your photo management.
