Feature Request for C1 6
Besides the few crashes I have every shoot day with C1 6.1, its pretty good otherwise.
But there are two things that would make my life far easier-
1/ Some way of marking a shot, or adding notes to a single shot. Mark Tucker a while back came up with the idea of a crease pencil layer, so you could scribble note over a shot (and be able to turn the scribble on and off the pic), so the a client or retoucher can see what needs to be done. This is especially useful when shooting something with multiple parts, for ex- you could "circle" a part of a shot to say "remove that tree", or scribble in the sky "change sky". All these changes are are so common in commercial photography that this feature would be a god send. At the moment the work around we do is a quick screen grab (showing the shot number in the grab), then open photoshop to write details. Adding this feature would negate the need to use photoshop at all till the very last retouch part.
Compared with the powerful "selective" adjustments (great feature!), this seems like a very easy feature to add to the program, and to me even more useful.
2/ Add the ability to change the order of the shots manually. You can do this in bridge (which i am forced to use).
I know that there is "ratings" and colours as well as using albums, But this doesn't help when you want things in a full order. Ordering shots is really important to present web galleries, and it aids sorting. It should be a "sort category" called "manual" or something like that, then allow you drag ad drop the order of the shots. This again seems like an easy feature to add.

Hi Paul
AFAIK
this can be done within Expression media which works with C1…2/ Add the ability to change the order of the shots manually. You can do this in bridge (which i am forced to use).

yeah, i know, and at the moment i use bridge to do it. but I want to use only one piece of software for everything up to retouching stage, and i think C1 should be doing this.

I also use Bridge to pre-sort my files because a custom sort is impossible (dragging) unless you manually rename one-shot at a time ahead/behind of the shot you want - which is silly, but I've done once or twice.
We take the 2-6 cameras used at an event and sort by time stamp, but then manually grab shots and drag them around to suite a more pleasant layout. We only use Adobe Bridge for sorting in thumbnail mode and renaming using our own renaming convention. Then open the session in Capture One based on file name.
If that is too complex, how about at least adding sort by camera make and sort by serial number. We work at events with multiple photographers and this feature would be handy when an adjustment has a completely different icc profile and we don't want to randomly fix the odd shots as they have been inserted (sorted for viewing sake).
I would also like to see the renaming abilities adjusted like Bridge. I have briefly seen them in 6.1.1 but I like how Bridge does it best - wow have you used it for complex naming - it's impressive.
