How to turn off this green grid

  • Edited

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to turn off this green proportional grid on the viewer window. Long time user of capture one and this particular grid is not being generated by either the grid or guides tools. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance.

    Hello! The grid command toggles on and off with Command + G (on a Mac). Or go to menu bar and click VIEW > Grid and toggle off. There you'll see you can change grid options (color). Hope this helps.

    Hi Pam,

    Thanks for your reply. I should have said in my post that i've tried both the grid and guides functions but this particular green grid is being generated by another function in the viewer. I'm a long time user of capture one so know my way around reasonably well but somehow i've turned these lines on and cant remove them.

    Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmmm, I'd say I'm an intermediate C1 user and trying to solve my own mysteries (namely regarding keyword filtering glitches), but I saw your note and thought I'd try to help. Have you looked within the Lens Correction tooltab? You must have in order to create the custom 12x18 grid you showed. There's a grid option there and a "Show" checkbox, though testing revealed that Command + G does the same thing.

    I'm learning Capture One is an amazing application but in digging deeper there are a few puzzling (and maddening) situations.

    I have seen the sticky grid on several occasions. Not sure if I ever saw it in v20, but in v12 for sure. Sometimes it went away if I closed and restarted C1, sometimes I had to reboot the computer (Windows).

    This green grid should only show up during rotation, in particular freehand rotation. Once rotation finishes, you release the mouse, it should disappear.

    Try to rotate, maybe it disappears. If not, discard the preference file.

    Just in case anyone else has this issue in the future, the Paul Steunebrink answer is the correct one for it. This is the crop/rotation grid, and it seems to be a bug that sometimes makes this particular grid gets stuck and visible for all photos. It has been a year now, and it's still happening.

    To be clear, the original question relates to a green checkboard-like green grid, not the guides. Paul and Gilberto got it right

    I encountered this bug for the first time in Capture One 21 (Mac OS 11.4) earlier today. I was doing a freehand rotation, and C1 crashed. Reopening C1, I found the green grid seemed to be permanent. For the macOS, the instructions for removing the preferences file Paul referenced are here: https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003121597-Reset-the-application-s-preference-file-on-macOS 

    On my system, the file is in the User library, not the main system library.

    I experienced the same a few days ago when adjusting rotation and today I followed the advise to make a change of the slider position and then the green grid disappeared. Problem solved for now.

    Now we will see if this is a steady solution.
