Feedback for R&D

I've been using Capture One for only a short time now (love it and will never go back to LR) but there are a few things I think would make our lives easier and editing more fluid. Fellow C1 Pro 10 users free to comment/add to the list.

Clone/heal layer: Please make it so that each brush stroke we may apply has it's own selection point that we can control instead of being forced to use the initial selection point area. If there's a way to do that on my end, please advise.

Local Adjustment layers: Please update to allow unlimited layers. The 9 that we're limited to now is often not nearly enough when working with very detailed images.

Spot removal: Why can't we see and control the selection points? Again, if this is a setting on my end, please advise.

  You'd rather create a support case. Support can explain to you what is possible already and how (i personally don't know, others may still chime in). And a support case is the only way into the heart of R&D.

  Thanks! I'll be sure to pass my feedback via Support.

  Good advice from HCS.
  
  My observations on the 3 point you have raised.
  
  Clone/Heal Layer.
  
  I agree it would be nice but suspect that the tool design would mean that, in effect, each adustment would require its own mask .... and so would really be a sub-layer in terms of the current design. Remember this is always going back to the original file (most often a RAW file C1 being primarily a RAW file converter) to re-calculate values.
  
  Also see below ...
  
  More that 9 Layers.
  
  Also nice and, potentially, would allow a form of design that accommodate the Clone/Heal layer extension above.
  
  However on a large file with a lot going on in the editing the processing overhead is high and unless software design and hardware capabilities offer optimum performance there would no doubt be wails about the whole experience being slow.
  
  I would guess that, now we are a few years into OpenCL development and GPU development and, perhaps most importantly, users updating their systems, there might be better potential for extending the layer functionality in general so perhaps we could expect something like that in the future.
  
  However I think the current user base is more than likely to have Photo Shop (or something very similar) if they are regular high volume processors and to replicate what PS does would be a big and costly task and likely not very practical as an extension of C1 and its design concepts. So if people are still going to use PS as their "go to" pixel manipulator (rather than RAW file data adjuster like C1) there would be little to be gained by trying to provide that sort of functionality (C1 would look like a poor relation in terms of total functionality for years because there would be so much to do ...) when most of the existing C1 user base already uses PS or something similar.
  
  Personally I don't seem to be able to get to grips with PS at all ... but then I don't often take the sort of shots that will always result in the need for final "finishing" through PS with all of the tools it offers.
  
  Spot Removal
  
  In the case of the spot and dust removal tool it is its own selection point that, as I understand it and in simple terms, sort of averages the area under the "spot" and removes outlying values. A different algorithm is deployed to "spot" compared to "dust" but the concept is basically the same. So for example with skin tones and removing a mole, the mole values, for a large enough spot area, would be outliers but colour variation in the remaining pixels can be retained when changing the values over the outlier areas. In that way the changes merge with their surroundings and do not have to be referenced from elsewhere as it being cloned.
  
  Does that make sense?
  
  
  I would certainly encourage that you create a Support Case with "Enhancement Request:..." in the title and so register your suggestions for the C1 Management team to consider.
