- [Instructor] A really great way to show off your best work
is to create a Smart Album
and have it be like three stars or more,
or four stars or more,
depending on what your rating system is.
I started one right here, but we're going to add to it.
Actually, the application is going to add to it
for us automatically,
and that's what so fun about it.
Now let me show you how to set up. There's two ways to go.
One is you go up here to the plus,
and you see Smart Album there.
Or you can edit one by holding down the Control key
and go to Edit Smart Album.
This is one that's already created.
You set up your conditions here.
So you have Presets, which are really handy,
lot of times will be either three stars or more,
four stars or more, that kind of thing.
But I always like to slice it a little thinner than that
so that the application doesn't pick up images
from other places outside of this particular project.
So I start with that and then I add.
And you can add condition
by just clicking on the plus there.
And in this case, I added Camera Model,
and then I have the name of the camera,
which is the E-M1 Mark III.
And then that helps kind of focus it to this shoot.
And there are all sorts of conditions you can add,
as you can see here.
But I think the finer you slice your Smart Album,
the more accurate it will be in terms of what it pulls in.
And you can edit one at any time.
All right, so we have that all set up, just click OK there,
but we only have one in here.
So let's add to our Smart Album,
and let me show you how to do that really easy.
We're just going to go through,
and we're just going to rate this entire shoot.
It'll only take a minute.
Capture One Pro makes it easy.
You just hit the number key
for what you want it to be rated at,
and then I use the arrow keys
to navigate from one to the other.
So this one for me is a three-star.
I'm just going to hit the three.
We'll leave this one at two right now.
This is a three, two,
two, two,
two, three.
This is a three for me, is why I love this shot.
Okay, two, two,
three in this group.
And let me see. Let's go back and forth between these two.
I like it where their wings are out a bit,
so I'm going to give this one a three,
give this one a two, like that.
This is a three for me,
two, two.
Let's see here. I kind of like this one.
Let me go three on this one, two on this one.
And this is a cool shot, but I'm going to give it a two.
Now, I may change my mind.
All right, so we're at the end of the shoot here.
I'm going to hit the G key,
and we can see our threes and our twos right here.
Now, here's the part that I really like.
Let's go to the Smart Album, and look.
Only our threes are there. We started with this.
So every time I add a photo, let's say that I go back
and I change my mind about this one here,
and I want it to be a three,
I hit the three key, it's now a three,
we come back, it will be in our Smart Album.
So I love this 'cause it automatically update,
and you can set 'em up for all sorts of different things
like high ISO, whatever you want to do.
There are so many different conditions available.
But I think a good starting point
is to use some for your best shots.
And then what I do
is I put that Smart Album at the top of the project.
So we have all these other things here.
And we can move these albums around
by clicking and dragging.
So I make sure that the Smart Album is on top
so that when I go to a project,
I click here if someone's looking over my shoulder
and they think I'm a really good photographer,
and I'm just fine with that.
