temporary reset adjustments on mac

NN254597UL
Hi,

i switched from PC to Mac and on PC it is possible to reset only one parameter of a tool by clicking on the name. i know one can reset the whole tool adjustment by clicking the arrow back and holding alt, but what i mean is to temporarily reset only ONE paramater of the tool. is this possible in the mac version as well? i tried all key combinations and cant find anything about that.

thanks
daniel

    Hi,

    that is not what i mean. like i wrote, i know that alt+local reset, but in the PC version one can click on the name of a parameter to reset it temporarlily. for exampel, i wnat only to see the change of the contrast without changing the exposure. is that possible in the MAC version? if not, can this be added? it liked this feature very much in the PC version.

    Well, I didn't know you could do that. Hidden feature? Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    As an alternative of sorts (and based on my Windows system) you can double click a slider and reset it to default.

    If you positioned the cursor in the middle of the slider and have not moved the cursor since the double click a single click will put it back to where it was giving a very similar but not identical effect.

    Does that work on Mac? If so does it give you a temporary solution to your preferred use?

    Well, I have to agree. Now that you have enlightened me I see the Windows option as a desirable feature.

    If there is (or could be) a way to make it apply to multiple adjustments (but not all - we have that already) at the same time it could be even more interesting in some cases.

    I am now wondering about how to word a Support Case request for something as an enhancement to an undocumented feature that may or may not be a bug/oversight/unintended operation in either Mac or Windows versions.

    ☹️

    The magic word is 'alignment bug' for something that is available on one platform but not the other.

    Well, yes but so far as I can tell it is an undocumented feature and may not apply to all tools.

    On that basis some might say that the feature should be removed ... that would also be an alignment.

    adding this feature to the MAC version would make you my personel super-hero 😊

    I think this Windows feature is awesome (and needs some tweaking as not all tools applicable seems to support it). I was not aware of its existence, by the way. Thanks to the OP. 😁

    I am reporting this as a request right now to Phase One, while giving it my highest personal preference. 😂

    Excellent Paul!

    I am sure the request will have a much better chance of attention and a positive outcome with your backing and influence than it would with mine.

    I would love a keyboard shortcut to temporarily show the image as imported. It's one of the things I miss from Aperture (you press M and it displays the image as imported, M again back to current). I know you can reset everything and then undo, but that's a kludge.

    Often discussed.

    I also use another application that has a "show Original" feature and sometimes use it. However C1 offers more with minimal additional effort.

    One approach is to retain a an unmodified variant of the original image. This then gives you the option to display both side by side in the viewing window OR, by positioning them side by side in the browser, you can toggle between them using the arrow keys giving you the same sort of effect as the "M" you mention with just one keystroke.

    Of course you can take that further by having multiple variants and toggling between them all as well as the original.

    I find that a whole lot more useful than a "show original" key but would agree that to have at least some way of quickly seeing the 'original' is useful.

    Yep, but I'm a simple man with simple needs.

    Photography is my hobby. I often work on stuff at the end of a long day, when I probably should be in bed. Having to create, name and manage sets of variants means that at some point I'm going to mess myself up, export or delete the wrong variant. Which, sure, doesn't really mean much given it just a hobby. It just makes it less fun.

    All I want to be able to do is quickly and easily ask "Did I make this better or worse?" and have the answer easily. The reset/undo will have to suffice.

    I want the highest quality images I can squeeze out of my finite talent and meagre time, hence Capture One. I also want it to be fun (hence not Lightroom, which I find zero fun - we just aren't friends).

    In that case (and I don't disagree at all with your preferred way of working) let's assume you will work with just a single edit variant all the time. Keep one unedited original "variant" and make the Edit file variant the Primary variant.

    Collapse the stack so that only the current edit instruction variant is visible (Collapse and Expand is available via 2 or 3 routes). If and when you want to compare to the original Expand the selected image to get both edited and unedited, toggle back and forth and then, if comfortable, Collapse the stack for that image so you are back to one.

    One advantage here is that you can use the same approach to seeing the differences between two variant - not just a variant and the original. So if you get to a point you are happy with but just feel the need to try a couple of extra tweaks ... create a temporary variant form your existing edit. Apply the further changes, select both variants (optional but it means the arrow key based movements will be limited to just those two) and toggle between them.

    I feel sure that once you have picked up the new habit you will come to enjoy it.

    By comparison reset/undo is a crude and untrustworthy tool - especially when working when tired at the end of a long day. Variants are much safer after a few minutes of familiarisation.


    HTH.
