The overview of Auto adjustments
Capture One has several individual tools that can apply automatic adjustments. By applying a single Auto adjust command, all of these tools can be made to apply the adjustments automatically, making it a good starting point for the various tools. In fact, the option to apply the Auto adjustments is included in the importer dialog, so you could let Capture One adjust the images while they are being imported. The Auto adjust feature can automatically adjust the following parameters:
- White Balance
- Exposure
- Contrast and Brightness
- High Dynamic Range
- Levels (combined RGB mode or individual Channel mode)
- Rotation
- Keystone
Not all of the parameters have to be applied. You can select only those you want.
Note: Auto Keystone adjustment, Auto Rotation, and Flip are only applicable to images captured with a Phase One IQ series digital back.
Selecting Auto adjustments
As some of the parameters may not be relevant to certain images, you can select the ones you want to be applied.
Choose one of the two options:
- In the main menu, choose Adjustments -> Configure Auto Adjustments.
- Long-press on the Auto Adjust icon in the toolbar, then enable the following with a check-mark as appropriate.
- White Balance
- Exposure
- Contrast and Brightness
- High Dynamic Range
- Levels (combined RGB mode or individual Channel mode)
- Rotation
- Keystone
Applying Auto adjustments to images
The Auto adjust feature can be used to apply several parameters. You don't have to apply all of them, you can select which of the parameters you want to be enabled before you start. Each of the tools used is updated to reflect the settings, making it a great starting point for additional fine-tuning.
- Select the image or images you want to apply the adjustments to. When applying to multiple images, make sure that the Edit Selected Variants option is enabled in the toolbar.
- In the main menu, choose Adjustments -> Auto Adjust (Cmd-L) or select the Auto Adjust icon in the main toolbar.
- The images are updated with adjustments. The tools used are also updated with new settings, which can be modified later.
Applying Auto adjustment on import
Images, the option to apply adjustments automatically is included in the importer dialog. Simply enable the Auto Adjust option with a check-mark. That way, every image will have the auto corrections applied. Note that this may slow down the import process.
- Select which of the parameters you want to be applied first before starting the import.
- Insert the memory card into an attached card reader.
- Open the import dialog (if not already automatically opened).
- Select images for import and select the relevant settings. For more information, see the section on Importing images.
- From the Adjustments panel, enable the Auto Adjust option with a check-mark. This setting is remembered the next time the importer is opened using the same document type (Session or Catalog).
