Copy and applying adjustments - nothing on the clipboard.
I'm a long time Lightroom user wanting to make the transition to Capture One for my initial post production adjustments on my RAW files. I've been watching a ton of tutorials as I'm processing my first shoot with C1 but one issue I've run into right off the bat is applying adjustments from one image to another. LR makes it very easy when you copy adjustments from one image to de-select those adjustments you DO NOT want applied to the next image. This would be things like spot removal, cropping, targeted adjustments that you brush on to the image. I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this with C1
What I've read says you can just do a shift/cmd C on the image you're copying from and then you should be able to go to Adjustments Tab in the Adjustments Clipboard you should be able to do what I describe above i.e. make sure that ONLY the adjustments you want to apply to the next image are selected.
The problem I'm having is when I try to do this there is never ANYTHING to select/deselect on the Adjustments Clipboard. If I select the image I'm copying adjustments to and do a shift/cmd/v on it, the adjustments to get copied to the image but these are ALL of the adjustments, including the layers with masks, etc obviously specific to the image I'm copying from and do not want applied to the image I'm copying to.
Can anyone give me the specifics on how I accomplish what I'm trying to do as described above. Much appreciated.

iMac/Macbook Pro macOS Catalina 10.15.4
Capture One 20 13.1.0.172

Hi Timothy,
I don't know if the shift/cmd C works to copy adjustments, but the usual way is to select the image you want to copy the adjustments from, then go to the adjustments clipboard, click copy at its bottom. Only the adjustments made on your selected image should be cross checked then. And finally, select the other images you want to copy the adjustments to, and clik Apply.

Have you tried...
1. Select the image with the adjustments you want to copy.
2. Click the Copy and Apply icon (double arrow icon) in the tool bar, the clipboard will appear, and you can deselect any adjustment you do not want copied to the next image. Once you have, click Copy.
3. Select the image(s) you want to copy the adjustments to.
4. Click the Apply icon (downward arrow icon) in the toolbar.

I've run into this problem while testing Beta. Go to the tool tab with the adjustments clipboard, and remove the adjustments clipboard tool. Now add the adjustments clipboard tool again.

Also check, in the Adjustments Clipboard tool, what the default setting is for Automatic Selection of adjustments.
Click on the three dots on the right hand top corner - tool name line. There you will find some controls for the tool.
Automatic adjustment settings can be
- Adjusted
- Adjusted except Composition
- None.
These rules control selection directly from the copy/paste controls either for a tool of for the whole image via the main toolbar.
In addition you can check your preference for
- Select All
- Select None
- Select Adjusted
These setting control the copy to clipboard performed within the Clipboard tool.
If you are planning to use these a lot and maybe have quite different needs from shot to shot it is probably worth taking some time working with the Clipboard Tool open in order to become comfortable about what it is doing and how it is doing it for the different approaches that are possible.
Note also that if you wish to copy from one image and apply to several others and/or several variants in a single action it is likely to be worth your time discovering the "Edit all selected variants" toggle switch.
