Please support the mapping of Tangent Element-Kb panel knobs to all the Capture One software sliders as part of Tangent integration.

What problem do you see this solving?
The mapping of some Capture One sliders to the physical knobs of the Tangent Element-Kb panel, such as Exposure and Contrast, allows for a powerful and efficient workflow as user can focus full attention on the photo rather than the software UI. The problem is that other software sliders, including Rotation and Keystone, are not available to be mapped to the Tangent Element-Kb panel. The problem solved would be the complete support of Tangent knob input.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Whenever using Capture One for image development I am forced to revert to the computer keyboard or mouse to control the unsupported software sliders.

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Yes, workaround is to move from Tangent knobs back to the computer keyboard for unsupported sliders which negates the advantage of using the Tangent hardware. In addition to not being able to focus on the photo, the much improved fine grain control of the slider via the physical knob is lost.

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes

  The keyboard shortcut of holding easy to remember keys and simply moving the mouse left and right is one of the best I've experienced, giving us the ability to use our beloved knob on our mechanical keyboard and I am sold for life. Please please please!!

  I completely agree. I have been using the Loupedeck CT for some time now. Wanting to go further, I am testing the Tangent application. Specifically, I am using it to use the color wheels. The Tangent application allows me to virtually test the tangent element that interests me the most. As well as the Tangent Mapper application for its configuration on the computer. I am extremely surprised to see that there is no possibility to configure some buttons for the levels panel, for example. Whereas it is available on the Loupedeck.

  Please, this tool is only great if it is complete ;)
