Capture One Can Fix a Classic Landscape Photography Problem (Nobody Talks About This)

If you use a circular polarizer with wide-angle lenses, you’ve probably noticed the annoying dark blob, banding, or uneven polarization in the sky—especially when shooting landscapes. This is a classic landscape photography problem, and most photographers assume it can’t be fully fixed in post.

In this video, I show you a simple but powerful solution inside Capture One that surprisingly solves this issue—using a tool originally designed for portrait photography.

You’ll learn:
✔ Why uneven polarization happens with wide-angle lenses
✔ When and why a circular polarizer causes dark patches in the sky
✔ How to fix the problem non-destructively in Capture One
✔ How a portrait-specific tool can be repurposed for landscapes
✔ A clean, professional workflow for natural-looking results

This technique works especially well for landscape photographers who rely on polarizers and want to avoid re-shooting or complex masking.

If you use Capture One for landscape photography, this is a hidden trick you don’t want to miss.
