The web browser function offers an additional means of viewing and rating images for photographers or clients. This function allows anyone to get access to Capture One Pro's Capture Pilot tool as long as they have a computer or a smart device with a web browser and an internet connection. This avoids the 'monitor huddle' that is common with studio shoots.
Web viewing mode: Capture Pilot classic
Capture Pilot Classic is, in essence, a contact sheet of thumbnail images. Newly captured images will appear as soon as they are shot when shooting tethered. Thumbnail size can be adjusted by pressing the S, M, and L letters in the top-left corner of the screen.
Connect to a web browser
The web browser feature is designed to work on a local network (i.e. the computer running Capture One Pro connected to the internet).
- Go to the Capture Pilot tool at the bottom of the Capture tool tab in Capture One Pro.
- Select the Basic tab. Ensure that either Mobile and Web or Web Browser is selected from the Publish To fly-out menu.
- Select the Web tab, choose a theme from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Rate Images and Color Tag Images as appropriate.
- Select the Basic tab and press Start Image Server. A dialog will open and request the user's system password once the web server is started.
- To send an email with a link to the Capture Pilot server, click on the mail icon. A new email dialog window will open.

I'd really LOVE to see a more robust version of this for client selections. One that doesn't need Capture Pilot to be running on photographer's end.
Something I can embed into my webpage in a client gallery and they can make their selections directly without having to use 3rd party client gallery services.
