We badly need a clone tool!!!!!!
I just tried together with a friend Capture1,7
... I am shocked to see how superior the files look compared to LR 4 & 5
I am extremely tempted to jump ship 😊
As a wedding a portrait photographer I am used doing small retouch in LR,simple things such as correcting some straight hair,fixing beauty spots,etc.
unfortunately for the moment the lack of cloning and the pretty limited healing in Capture1....it stops me and won't let me jump ☹️
I will cross my fingers..: hoping for a dot release with such addition

It certainly would be good! Probably best to put in a support ticket though so they can log the request in the appropriate system. 0 -
Those are the only basic tools which are missing in C1
As soon as its implemented (hopefully in the future release of V7)
I will join the club

I recently switched from LR to Capture One,overall I am really happy except for the luck of real healing tool and basic cloning!
Jeez would give anything to get a clone tool in the next dot version 😉

It would save me a lot of time on some basic touch ups that I'm working on right now. Something simple and effective like the clone/heal tool in the freeware FastStone Image Viewer. 0 -
I agree entirely! Often there is only a small but crucial change that is required and yet the cloning tool is absent.
As a recent convert to Capture One, I really appreciate the image quality of the RAW conversion for my Fuji X Pro 1 photos but am frustrated that I need to go to Lightroom for minor changes.
On another matter, does Capture One have any plans to negotiate with Nik software or any other editing software to enable an easy link with C1? The current subscription plans of Adobe suggests a market for alternative post processing setups rather than the traditional C1 plus Photoshop work flow.

Yes please a Heal/Clone tool. If possible in the same palette as the Spot Tool.0 -
+1 Clone Tool.
I've been using Capture 1 since version 3, but as an extra raw converter for specific jobs. With the integration of Catalogs, in version 7 I decided to risk it all, live for the moment and have made C1 my primary DAM and image editing program. I can live with out many of the integrated services in Lightroom, and prefer the simple and elegant layout and workflow offered by C1... also, Just love how C1 makes my D800e files look!! - So far - it's shaping up well.
The vast majority of my work can be done in C1 with out recourse to photoshop, expect some cloning type tool. The spot removal is just a little to basic, If C1 had a Clone Tool that allowed for the removal of items form the scene, this would save me much time! and mean photoshop was purely for constructed image work.
Capture One is advancing fast and i'm looking forward to seeing where this can go! It's also great to have an alternative to Lightroom, (much as I also respect there achievements) 😄0 -
I couldn't agree more. The spot removal tool is very basic and sometimes a bit time consuming.
A well functional clone tool would give the user more independence. The need to switch to PS or PSE would be further minimized.

Please no!
Capture One was and always will be for me the best CAPTURING software, hence the name Capture One. The last thing I'd like to see is Capture One becoming a bloatware such as Lightroom.0 -

I think the case has been made by many that this is not a bloatware feature. Many of us are only roundtripping into Photoshop to clone.
Besides, if you don't want it, don't use it.0 -
In full agreement. I switched to C1 V6 from Aperture, and now use V7 exclusively. But when I want to remove and/or clone something I have to export, import into A3, do the cloning, and then export back to C1. With a proper clone tool I could let my A3 expire and stay full time in C1.
BTW, one of the main reasons I switched to C1 was for the Keystone tool, absent from A3. So if you can have Keystone, why not clone?0 -
A healing tool would be a great alternative. This would place C1 again ahead of LR5. 0 -
Has anyone put in a formal Change/Enhancement Request for the Clone tool ? 0 -
I did! 😄
but everyone should!!0 -

Agree Pablo.
In my case I seem to fail to be able to copy the "spots" for use of other pictures.
I tried both using the dialog or Option/Shift methods...
C1 v 7.1.2 (still trial)0 -
+1 Request added

I must admit that the more time passes the more i miss it!!
I was used to Lightroom and Aperture..... and its really very frustrating not be able to do some little cloning and to have a better healing experience !!!! ☹️
How long will it take?
....can we hope to see it on a CO 7.2 release ?

Well the more enhancement requests from more people with registered licenses then the quicker it is likely to happen.
Get those enhancement requests in!!0 -
I think a clone tool is kind of a dumb idea for Phase to invest resources in. Honestly, it would be one more ridiculous addition to bulk up an already resource intensive piece of software that, last time I checked, was developed for capturing. Just use photoshop. It'll do a better job anyway. What would be the benefit of cloning a RAW file as opposed to a TIFF? 0 -

I don't own Photoshop, so "just use Photoshop" makes an assumption.

I've had occasions of having to reprocess a raw file. Guess what happens to all the work done in a photo editor? Usually it's easier to start over from scratch.
For me, I want the very best image from raw. I could do without the "bulk" of catalogs and other such features. But if it doesn't hinder my output, I'm fine with others using those features.0 -

Hopefully, you're not using super destructive layering in your post.
I do agree with you that this feature could be useful. I just think that the more and more features that get thrown into the software, the slower actual capturing gets. Try explaining this to a different Art Director every single day. Its more annoying thatn you'd think.
@chmod As far as noT owing Photoshop goes: to each their own, I guess. I could cut my hair with a lawnmower, but it's just more reasonable to me to use the right tool for the project.0 -

Or, I could buy a lawnmower to cut a one foot patch of grass...seems like a more accurate analogy.0 -
There are many different levels of cloning functionality from program to program.
People need to indicate how far they want their cloning to go.
Simple patches or full on "smart" and "content aware"?
Or something in between?
Designers, developers and commercial decision makers need to know.

I think it's quite clear from the posts in this discussion that most of us are looking for a relatively simple implementation, to avoid unnecessary round tripping to Photoshop.
Of course, Lightroom is going one step further in V5, so there will be calls for more sophistication.
Right now, to me, it's a matter of at least staying in the game as far as this feature is concerned. And, with Photoshop getting potentially more expensive, anything that Phase One can do to lessen the requirement from Photoshop is good for us users.0 -

Hi Mike,
It was when I realised that I too had assumed a fairly simple clone tool was anticipated but couldn't find any comments that clearly stated the basic level of requirement that I thought it might be time to ask the question.
It may still be like measuring the standard length of a piece of string when attemtping to agree a specification.
Grant Perkins0 -
Yes ,please !
I also badly need a clone and a heal brush
I work on portraiture and its a real pain not to be able to fix small things
....Lightroom 5 its now shipping and even though i consider Capture One to deliver better file quality .... i just cant export each single images to photoshop ☹️
is there any hope that you would soon release an update with those improvements?
Many thanks
J0
