Understanding Layers & Masks in Capture One Pro

Layered editing has long been a non-destructive editing technique in Photoshop. Capture One adds the concept of layered editing to RAW editing, allowing advanced masking abilities and a more controlled editing workflow from within the RAW editor.

The video gives an overview of the how to create layers, and add masks to the RAW image so as to do localized editing. It describes the Brush, Magic Brish, Ai Brush, Gradient and Radial tools, as well as the various eraser tools available in Capture One Pro.

The video does not look at Healing and Cloning which I will deal with in a separate future video. Importantly, this is an overview, with a brief explanation of the tools; not an exhaustive tutorial on how to use each of the tools. I'll create future video 'tutorials' and add them to this block.
