How to find out what edits are applied
Hi there,
I'm new to Capture One and live tethering (and loving both!). But I do have a question. I think I was playing around with something awhile ago, but don't remember where or how I got to it. Every time I take a live photo, either a style or edits are automatically applied to the photo. I'd like to know exactly what's happening to it so I can recreate it if I ever lose it, but can't seem to find what has been added to the photo. Attached are a couple screenshots of images showing my current views. Any help in finding out what is already applied to this photo is appreciated!

SFA - Thank you - the Clipboard tool is helpful to see what's been changed! I do like the edits that are happening but curious how they're being auto-applied. This is what's under auto adjust, so tt might be that.

Looking at it again, I do notice that it’s making the same updates to every photo - it’s not auto for each photo. So, same white balance adjustment, same levels adjustment, etc.

I do not let Capture One auto adjust on import. Actually, I never bother to see how to do this because I prefer to see the original image and then click Auto Adjust. That way I can look at the change and see the extent of changes on the sliders. Capture One does a fairly good job with the Auto Adjust tool, but often it can have ideas especially about color temperature that over correct.
Watching how Auto Adjust makes changes can be educational. One thing I learned using this approach is how often Auto Adjust decreases the shadow setting and simultaneously increases brightness, thereby retaining contrast for some images. I would never have thought to try this if I hadn't seen Auto Adjust do it.
