Interface Questions

Steve Ruddy
Hi,

I'm a Lightroom user trying out Capture One. I like to work in LR library grid mode. With my thumbnails in library grid I can just double click an image to view it by itself, single view. Then hit shortcut D to send it for developing. Is there a way to work like this in CO 10? I really don't need or want an additional panel using up my workspace to view a single image. When I look at a single image I don't need or want to see my library grid mode. Also I see no way to collapse panels.

Thanks,

Steve

    What does "Send it for developing" mean?

    (I have not used LR since a short trial of Version 3 so I am out of touch with how it works.)

    If you are looking at images in the grid layout view in C1, double clicking and image should bring that one image up. You can process it (same as "develop"?) with just Cmd-D on a Mac, probably Ctrl-D on Windows I would guess. Sounds very similar to me.

    When I double click it loads into a separate viewing window and the library grid view remains. LR replaces the grid view with single image view not using up additional space. Is there a way to set this up the same or similar?

    C1 isn't built around "Modules" like LR is, so the default workspace has no comparable workflow to what you are asking for. C1 just works very differently from LR in terms of workflow and, while I've never tried to make C1 work like LR, I doubt you can get very close.

    The good news is that C1's workspace is super customizable (and you can save your customizations so experimentation is easy) you can probably get close but, in the long run, it might be better to get used to C1's way of doing things so you aren't fighting it forever.

    Reading this again, I realise that I have partly misunderstood what you were asking. You can set the browser to be hidden when in viewer mode (using Cmd-B or hide browser from the View menu). That way you only get the image you are working on. Alternatively you can set the browser to auto mode in the View menu. That way it is hidden but pops out when you hover at the edge of the screen.

    I'm getting close. I'm in default workspace. I will customize it when I get a full understanding of the capabilities. So far I have enlarged the browser window to maximum and set it to grid mode. Then I can pick a single image and use the ctrl B shortcut you told me about so I can start processing a single image with no browser showing. yay! The only peeve with this is that when I go back (ctrl b) to browser the view window shows up as a tiny slice next to it. I can get ride of it with the hide viewer command but it's an extra step. I don't see any auto hide browser option. Maybe you have a different version? I watched but can't seem to get it to work with a one shortcut like he did. Maybe version 10 is now different.

    update: I changed the shortcuts and now have no slice of the viewer showing. Show hide viewer is now B which hides the viewer and shows the browser hence B and show hide browser is now V which hides the browser and shows the viewer hence V.
