looking for a workflow

Hi

I'm new to capture one and I work with aerial data. Our new sensor has PhaseOne camera's and that's why I'm looking into Capture one.

I'll explain what the situation is and how I would solve it normally. Then I need help on how I can solve it with Capture one. 

 

So I have a folder with 3000 IIQ files. Most of the pictures are good, some are too dark and some are too light. Some have cloud shadows on them, so they are partially dark and partially good. 

Normally I would make an action (collection of adjustments) in Photoshop and then use the batch function to apply that action on all the photos in a folder and let them save in another folder. The action was made so that it improves every picture.

 

Is there a way in Capture one to apply a correction to all photo's in a folder?

I also see the option to set 1 photo as a reference file. Can I choose one good photo and then apply it's characteristics to all photo's?

 

Can somebody explain to me on how I could achieve a workflow that does the above or point me to an article/video that could help me?

I searched for it myself, but couln't find what I needed. 

Maybe someone from support could do a teams meeting and show me :) ?

  There are (at least) a couple of different ways you can apply adjustments to a batch of images.

  1. you could start with one image and make the changes to you want to it, say to exposure, contrast, white balance and saturation. Then copy the adjustments to the adjustments clipboard, and paste them to all the other images you want to affect in the same way.
  2. You could alternatively use the speed edit function. Select all the images you want to alter. Then start with, say, exposure, hold down the speed edit shortcut key for exposure (which is Q by default) and press the up or down arrows on the keyboard. All the images will change by the same amount.

  There are pros and cons to each method. White Balance is a good example of an important way in which they they differ.

  • On method 1, if I change the Kelvin value from 5000 to 5500, then paste the adjustments to the other images, the Kelvin on all of them will change to 5500, whatever it started at. So if the second image started at 6000, it will go down to 5500.
  • On method 2, if I change the Kelvin value on the first image from 5000 to 5500, it has gone up by 500, so Kelvin on all the images will go up by 500. The second image that started at 6000 will go up to 6500.

  So... to get you started on finding out how you want to work, you could try searching the online user information (accessed from the Help menu) for articles on the Adjustments Clipboard, and on Speed Edit.
