While Capture One is primarily a photo editing and RAW processing software, and not designed for animation, we can focus on its graphic capabilities, workflow optimization, and advanced techniques that contribute to creating visually impactful images, which can be considered a form of visual storytelling and sequential art (like a comic strip or storyboard) if used in a series. Therefore, these chapter titles will emphasize visual storytelling, advanced image manipulation, and workflow efficiency that supports creating visually compelling narratives.
