What is the difference between basic and advanced colour editor in V20 ?

I wonder what is the difference between basic and advanced colour editor in V20 when now even in the basic editor you can pick the colour from the image (that you could do in the advanced colour editor before) ?  (I am a professional in music and audio and just an advanced amateur in photo and video  - so I apologise for some not very advanced questions :)

    I think it can be compared as follows:

    Advanced editor:

    • + More fine control (especially if you pull the tool out to be a floating tool and increase its size)
    • + Color slices can exclude high or low saturated colors
    • + Better overview especially for multiple color picks
    • + User interface very similar to the Skin Tone editor
    • + I am used to it :-)

    Basic editor:

    • + Click-drag in the Viewer can manipulate colors directly (fancy, and maybe faster for quick edits)
    • - Definition of color wheel slices hidden in a modal dialog window
    • o Color slices influence each other

    There's a tutorial from Capture One staff member David Grover here. https://youtu.be/UxXFrphKFBo  - less than 10 minutes of your time and very informative.

    Ivo,

    One of the advantages of the new basic editor is that those who use only the Express versions (Sony and Fuji options specifically) now have an improved option to work with. The Advanced editor is not available to them.

    If you paste your question title into the community search feature you should see, after a couple of suggestions that match the  first few words of the sentence completely but are not about the Colour Editor, two or three directly related FAQ section articles on of which has links to a couple of videos (One V12 the other V20) that offer more detail about colour editor functionality.

     

    You should also find this link

    https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360009386318-New-Basic-Color-Editor-WTF-

    where some of the responses offer further opinions to those you will find here.

    There are, no doubt, other threads on the subject as well.

    I suggest this primarily to provide you with a rapid and comprehensive  set of documents that should, as a set, be able to answer any gaps in answers that single threads may leave unanswered.

     

    HTH.
