Improved Styles Workflow

I'm sure most Photographers use C1 mostly because of the beautiful editing capabilities. I'd assume most photographers also do some sort of overall/global editing in their Session. Capture One offers a few ways to apply the same edit/style to a whole set of Images. Either you apply a Preset/Style across your Session or you do some Adjustments on a few Pictures and Copy them over to the others (either globally or with a filled mask on a layer). Both ways have their problems. Styles have to be Saved, loaded and applyed, if you want to change something (eg. reduce the intensity or remove certaint aspects of the style) you have to do so manually and reapply the new style to all the Images. Appart from taking a lot of time, you now have a Style in your Library, that you maybe only wanted for this specific session, but don't intend to use again. If you work with Layers (which has been improved) you allways need to copy the adjustment layer to all other pictures.

I'd assume I'm not the only one who applies one finishing style to a part or a whole session. A nice Workflow would be to have the Option to cerate some sort of synced Adjustment Layer which can be applied to all or some of the images. If you then change something (like altering the Curves) this automatically applies to all images. This would greatly improve the Workflow when working session based with a larger quantity of Pictures and help the User to maintain a consistend look for a shoot.

[Davinci Resolve (Video NLE and with great coloring features) has an option for creating group adjustments to all Clips of a certain scene. Maybe take a look at them.]

Today I wrote a topic in the user forum about styles as well. I tried to save a preset with styles applied, different opacity per style etc. Its possible to copy and paste any adjustment, layer with opacity and so on. But strangly its not possible to save it for a permanent import settings when, for example, using different cameras.

This should be possible I would think because technically the adjustments can be saved to the clipboard? Thank you!
