Jan 28, 2009 | Moab – GetDPI.com Workshop

November 20, 2008 | upcoming seminars

GetDPI.com has just announced their Winter Workshop that will be held out west in Moab, Sedona , Flagstaff and Monument Valley.

We are proud to participate again on our third workshop by supporting the GetDPI.com members with Phase One gear ,a variety of technical camera systems and our knowledge /support. This is a perfect time to try and learn about new equipment or learn how to better utilize your existing equipment. Is also a great networking event to share your passion of photography with others.

Click here to see a video from the recent lighting workshop that we assisted with (thanks to Carlos Prio/Fielddominace) for putting this together: http://www.fielddominance.com/getdpi/ .

Here are the details on the upcoming workshop from GetDPI.com:

First one, the timing is Wednesday January 28th start time in Moab, Utah and this will be our shoot and raw processing and Photoshop workshop which will end on Saturday January 31st. (Actually we meet in Moab Tuesday evening for cocktails, then start with a Wednesday morning shoot.) We will have teaching and image sharing modules in here and also have some manufacturer’s reps with us in Moab. Given the economy we decided to lower the price to help get more folks to come. This one is 1195.00 but we need to have at least 10 people commit to even hit the go button. We need to confirm first, but once confirmed we have enough folks, we’ll need full payment. December 15th is our final decision date.

We also decided to add a mini option on the front end of this workshop if folks are interested. This would start on Monday morning the 26th in Sedona, move through Flagstaff and then stopping in the Monument Valley area on our way to Moab. So Jack and I will be starting in Phoenix and this would be a good airport to fly into then rental car up and back to Moab. I would suggest the carpooling idea with a fellow attendee, but that’s up to you. We will provide a list of who is starting on the front end. The cost on the front end is only a additional $199 dollars if you do the Moab workshop, $399 by itself. As you know Moab is a target rich shooting area and Sedona and Flagstaff are as well . So lot’s of great images to be taken and being the winter the chance of snow on mountain tops is almost a guarantee. Last year we got a full blown storm in Moab which led to spectacular imagery, we hope for the same this year!

Our magic number to make this a go is 10 so please get back to us ASAP. If we get 10 yes, then we’re on. As always, this is open to all formats and all camera’s plus all levels of experience. Once we have a idea on the numbers more details will follow shortly. We really hope you can all attend as you know we have a lot of fun together and the learning experience is top notch.

Please reply to both Jack and I with a yes or no so we can try and make this happen: Jack@GetDPI.com and Guy@GetDpi.com.

Uninstalling Capture One on a mac

November 20, 2008 | Tips & Tech

Update: This article applies equally well to uinstalling Capture One 4 or Capture One 5.

We have received a few requests on how to do a clean uninstall on Capture One 4 or Capture One 5 on a Mac.  Currently, when upgrading to a newer Capture One software, it is recommended that you do a clean uninstall and then install the latest Capture One version. Check out Phase One’s Knowledge Base Article 1164 that will show you exactly how to properly execute it.

Update: If you’re a Windows user you can follow this link for Phase One KB Article 1158 on uninstalling on Windows.

Note: Please note that if you are only using Capture One with Phase One digital backs that you do not need to “deactivate” or otherwise deal with licenses or activation. Unlike Capture One 3 DB, Capture One 4 does not need an license key, activation, or registration for use in “digital back only mode”

Note: If you are doing this as part of “reinstalling” – in other words if you plan on using the software on this computer again immediately - then there is no need to follow the “deactivate” step.

Note: This applies to any version of Capture One 4.X or Capture One 5.X.

Capture Integration’s Further Recommendations

The following two recommendations are rarely required to restore Capture One to full-and-normal operations.

Delete User/Library/Application Support/Capture One/

Delete Proxys and Focus Mask Files

1) In the Finder Select File-Find

2) Push the plus button to add a search critera

3) Search for Name – Ends With – “.cop” (later you can search for .cof which corresponds to focus mask files in capture one 5 and after)

4) Double and then triple check that you are searching only for files ending with .cop. If you’re not 100% sure all listed files are .cop files then stop and do nothing

5) Select All and Delete

You may also wish to delete the entire folder “Capture One Library” rather than just the .col45 or .col50 file. Before doing this, make sure no important raw or processed files are in the “captures”, “trash” and “output” folders therein. Don’t blame us if you delete raw files!

Summary: If you have already done this process and read and understand the above article here is a summary of the files involved for the Mac:
[User] > Library > Application Support > Capture One
[User] > Library > Preferences > com.phaseone.[anything]
[User] > Pictures > Capture One Default Session
[User] > Pictures > Capture One Library
[HD] > System > Library > Application Support > Capture One
