setting crop in CO 10.2

peter burge
I have just downloaded CO10.2. In previous iterations the return button has set the crop but does not so so in the current software. I have tried a variation of button combinations without success. I would appreciate help in solving this. Thanks Peter

    Not sure what you mean. But you can get to the crop tool by just pressing C on the keyboard, then adjust it as you like, for instance by dragging in from a corner, or dragging a rectangle. You don't have to commit the crop in any way by pressing Enter or something like that. You just choose another tool (for instance press H for the hand tool, or V for the select tool). The crop setting is non-destructive - Capture One doesn't discard the area you have cropped out, it just remembers your crop. So you can go back to the crop tool at any time and adjust it. (The cropped out areas are of course discarded when you create output such as a JPG file, but the raw file still retains all the information even then.)

    This is not different from how it has always been in previous versions.

    Thank you Ian for this very detailed response. I didn't word my question very well but you have provided the answer.I have always committed the crop using the Enter button, so didn't think about the logical possibility of selecting another tool. The Enter button doesn't work with CO 10, but changing to another tool does! Thanks again for your help on this. Peter

    Peter,

    Using Windows, if I use the Enter key when in the crop tool C1 sets the current image as the Compare variant and also picks the next image to compare with it. That is using V9.3.

    As Ian has mentioned, there is no need to commit a crop. The recorded settings are, described simply, changed as you work on them. It has been like that always as far as I recall, although it is possible I suppose that you may somewhere have a customised keyboard shortcut that did something different but has not be carried over to your C10 installation. Or has been carried over but you are not actually using it at the moment.

    As I recall there were some changes to the mappings when V10 was introduced that may have left you with changed behaviour.

    Either way there is no need to commit a crop - or any other adjustment as far as I remember with the exception of Keystone tool changes. However, with something like a carefully set crop is does make sense move off the crop tool once you are happy with it in order to avoid unwanted additional adjustments!
