Issues with Capture One
Hello,
attracted by its RAW editing capabilities, I'm trying to use Capture One instead of Lightroom for my new 2017 photos, but I'm having issues: hope someone can help me.
1- Thumbnails in browser view appear darker and with strange colors than in the viewer. Recipe Proofing is off. I suppose it's a color profile issue related to previews, but I can't find an option. This is a big showstopper to me, because RAW files management becomes useless.
2- I'm using a catalog with referenced photos, so I import existing folders from my HD. The sync feature reads only files in a folder, but ignores subfolders. Why?!
3- No approve/reject flag for managing photos?!? Can you confirm?
4- No button on UI for switching from viewer to browser, the only way is the menù voice under View or CTRL+ALT+V: ...really?
5- Local adjustment: no radial gradient mask? Why?
6- Keywords: how do you manage them? In LR, I set hierarchies, but I'm able to skip the export of grouping titles (they are something I don't want to add to image, just for organization of tags). How can I do the same in CO? How do you manage keywords?
7- Exporting with Recipes should be cool, but it looks like Output Naming options aren't saved with a Recipe. Why?!
8- At the same level, no watermarks presets? Why?!
9- I have a dual monitor setup: a recent monitor, with AdobeRGB support, and a second older monitor, with only sRGB support. I'd like to setup the UI so that I have the main window with the Viewer on the main monitor (taking advantage of the wider color gamut) and my Wacom pen fixed on this monitor, and an additional window with the photos browser on the second monitor that I reach with keyboard or using the mouse. However, the only available option is to setup the main window with the browser, and an external additional window with the viewer: exactly the opposite. Can be my request possible?
Those are so far my main concerns about moving to Capture One. I hope the majority of them are based on my inexperience with the software, and someone here can address me solutions to my issues.
Thanks.

Hi,
Regarding point #9 :
I have tried to work around this partial support for dual display under Windows by installing the main window on the secondary display and the large viewer on the main display (which is my high quality display). See this screen capture : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/554 ... 1_dual.jpg. This is workable.
However, there's a problem with this arrangement. The Large Viewer toolbar is not the same as the main window toolbar. A lot of icons are missing as you can see in the screen capture. I have already reported this several months ago. The problem was acknowledged and promises were made... well, you know.
Still waiting for the fix. Just in case someone from P1 is reading this: it's case #208656.
I can't understand that in a software at this price level, aimed at professionals, dual monitor support be that primitive.0 -

Thank you very much for the suggestion: I already thought at this solution, but it doesn't work for me. The problem is the Wacom tablet: I want the pen to move on one monitor only (because of precision and feelings in general), and the toolbar with all editing controls stays on the second monitor, unreachable to the pen.
I agree that the lack of full dual monitor systems for a pro application (with this kind of price tag) is something I'm really surprise of. 😐0 -

The viewer is fully color managed, so you should be able to trust its rendering on wide gamut displays. The filmstrip/thumbnails however, are not fully color managed, but are converted to windows standard srgb color space. Something may be going wrong here if you're experiencing issues on a wide gamut display.

The same issue is visible if I move the application on the second monitor, so it's not something related to the wider gamut of the first monitor. I can't really understand what's happening, but doing a research on the web, I'm not the only one with this issue, that is there since version 7 or 8, so nothing new (I'm just reporting what I'm reading, but I can confirm that I had the same issue with version 9 few months ago, before 10 was released).0 -
Regarding #6:
unfortunately there are no option for keywords like in LR.
For the "include on export" option in LR, I have found a way in C1 to achieve this (kind of...):
First, I've created a new Keyword Library and imported my entire hierarchy from LR. Then I've created another new, empty KW Library, calling it Private Keywords and draged the tree of all my private keywords into this empty library (you'll have to delete that tree from the first library as they are copied and not moved).
In the process recipe under Metadata, choose Include Keywords-From and point to the primary library that stores all the "non-private" KWs. This works of course only if you have your private keywords in a seperate tree. There is no way in C1 to exclude single KWs in a hierarchy.
A good thing is, that these libraries are going to be available/shared in all catalogs and session you create, opposed to the Catalog Keywords which are unique to that catalog.
By the way - I've opened a support case about these keyword options and have been told that they forwarded it as feature request to the engineering team...synonyms would be very nice and also an exclude from export option.0 -

I suppose a fair answer to that is: why should there be? It's neither a must-have nor a "standard".0 -

Have a look to what is possible with a radial mask, for example in Lightroom. I would like to have it since years, made several tickets for it an I think it was discussed here in the forum several times.0 -
Thank you for the suggestion Thomas. I'll look into it in the future, because I have other more important issues to solve before this keywords thing. Will try and report it as soon as I can.

I don't know how much LR is "standard", but it's a feature introduced time ago, and it's the one I use most for masking. Basically, it can be a very good approximation of painted masks, much faster to setup, and a preferred (from my point of view) alternative to gradients, because of the curvature of the effect, much more natural than a straight gradient. Moreover, I find the CO implementation of gradient tool a bit tricky: if you need to adjust a gradient, you need to redraw it, while 2 handlers at start/end with realtime update (like many other apps do) would be more practical.0 -
Thank you Chris for this answer, that inspired me the solution (more or less) to the issue of darker/different previews. Months ago, I calibrated my monitor with a Spider5 and I was using a custom monitor profile created after the calibration process, and it looks like Capture One doesn't like it at all. Now, using a standard AdobeRGB color profile in Windows, previews are back to normal look. But that obviously can't be a final solution, because I need a calibrated monitor with it's own color profile.
I'll further investigate the issue, hope to quickly find a solution (the trial period is running fast).
