You can add image adjustments when importing from the external media. It is limited to the automatic adjustments found in the main toolbar, but you can also apply Styles and Presets which can be extensive. You can also use this to apply certain keywords if those have been saved as a user preset previously. When referencing images that have been worked on previously in Capture One, the Include Existing Adjustments option should be selected so that any previously made adjustments and settings can be applied.

1. In the Adjustments tool, checkmark the Auto Adjust option to apply on import the automatic adjustments selected from the Toolbar (this option may slow down the import process).
   
   
2. Presets and/or Styles can also be applied to images during import. Select the relevant options from the Styles fly-out menu.
   
   
3. Select the Include Existing Adjustments checkbox if you are importing RAW files that have already been worked on in Capture One. This option imports and applies all adjustments and settings (i.e., ratings, keywords, copyright info, and any other metadata) associated with each image file.
   
   
4. Selected adjustments will be applied on import.
