Capture One 12.0 wish list....?
1. Radial Gradient Masks.
2. The option of fully manual Lens Corrections - especially for Chromatic Aberration - just copy what Adobe Camera RAW has. It's superb.
3. The facility to round-trip to Helicon Focus; which Phase MF back users have had since 9.0.
Anything else.........?

not sure if it was mentioned but in thumbs view when developing the ability to stay centered like LR so you can see what is coming
even better the option of being at the beginning or middle or end of your next files 😊 I would love to keep it at the beginning so I can the most of what is coming up not where I have been !
also a previous button !!
and history ! I know they say the thinking is dif than LR but that is a cop out and shallow thinking ! I can work a file and go OK did not like that and want to step it back and doing versions etc.. is not the same or a good option they really really need to make a history view
so
thumb view control of where you are at
previous button

I'd like the ability to edit the Color Tag label to something more useful than Red, Orange, Yellow, etc.
For example, in a session, I may use the color tag [Blue] for images I want to add to my personal portfolio. I'd like the ability to change the label in Filters -> Color Tag for [Blue] Blue to [Blue] Portfolio. This way, I can easily remember what colors I'm using for what purpose.
Having the ability to change this on a per session basis and being able to carry over labels from the currently working session would make it ideal for photographers that work in multiple disciplines.0 -

I will second this one, but I want to expand your wish to: Each Color Tag must have TWO editable labels. One label for XMP-use and one label for whatever meaning the user wants to associate with the color.
Rationale: Exchanging color tags between XMP-capable applications requires applications to use the same color tag label. If one application uses a fixed set of labels (like C1 currently does), my other applications need to use the very same fixed set of labels even if those other applications do allow me to modify the labels.
Thus, I suggest 2 editable labels for each color tag. One XMP-label for use with metadata exchange and one user label for the general user interface. The blue color tag could then have a XMP-label "Blue" and a user label "Portfolio" for general use. This will allow you to ave it your way without breaking application metadata exchange. If I want to see the label "Blue" in the C1 user interface, my labels would be "Blue" and "Blue", while yours would be "Blue" and "Portfolio" or some such.0 -

Pretty much every photo editing software have a haze reduction tool (clear view, dehaze, ect.) except for C1. The clarity tool may help with haze but it does not come close to other software. C1 please add this tool. Kinda like C1 taking years to easily see before and after versions. Creating a variant was way too backwards and unproductive. C1 likely was the last kid on the block to add before/after functionality. And so it goes with a haze tool. Course C1 believes, as it did creating a variant was the answer to before/after, that clarity provides this functionality. 0 -
Hi, its my first post.
I think CO 12 needs better noise reduction! downlaod dpreview.com studio samples of Sony a7r II in low light at iso 51200 and 102400 and try them in lightroom or silkypix or DXO Photolabs (with Prime noise reduction) and try it. Much better colors at those high isos... CO 11 is very dessaturated.. and it has blotchy noise ( you can mitigate that a bit by decreasing the detail slider in noise reduction, or the clarity tool but they are still there compared with those Lightroom and DXO)
A shadows slider so that the darkest parts of an image that are very close to black dont show tih lots of noise (lightroom has a shadows lider and it helps.
Something like DXO Prime you press a button with an optimized algorithm but very CPU intensive only for those images that need desperate noise reduction and you are trying to salvage.
A way to have settings for sharpening and noise reduction at different isos based on the user presets so for instance (iso12800 details 50, iso 51200 details 10)
a slider for allowing more noise in the shadows (where the most obtrusive noise remains and less important details are) and other for midtones and other for hilights (to preserve detail)
A better/bigger repair tool like the one in DXO Photolab that magically removes objects without you having to select an area to replace.
Dehaze tool.

PLEASE IMPROVE THE PRINT MODULE
In every new release (since about version 8 I think) the first thing I hope to find is a print module that remembers which printer you were using. Even in one session, once a print has been executed, CP1 reverts to the default printer. I can't be alone in having an laser printer as my default printer for paperwork etc. You have to redesignate the printer and all its settings every time you want to print. It is such a pain!0 -

The "Printer settings not sticky" problem has been reported at least 2 or 3 years ago. Technically, it's not a big deal to fix this. Just, they don't care. I have opened a case about this issue more than 2 years ago (#209281). It has been closed. Absolutely no progress in this area. This is named "responsiveness".
Interestingly enough, under Windows, all applications automatically remember the last used printer settings. It's not a feature of the application. It's a Windows feature. I'm just wondering how C1 can achieve the feat of not remembering these settings at least during a session.0 -
Please, for new version CO 11.2 insert the new format .heif in export modul.

Better noise reduction or alternative / additional noise reduction methods.
The current raw processing and noise reduction seems to result in aggregations of pixels (blotches, strings, molecule-like small structures) which only worsens if you do anything which increases difference between bright and dark pixels/aggreations. These aggregations usually look nasty especially in homogeneous image areas.
This kind of raw processing might possibly be responsible for the good IQ in non-noisy images / areas but not so much in many noisy areas.
Maybe a noise reduction algorithm (or another tool) which would actually dissolve the blotches into finer grain (not just reducing local contrast between pixels), or locally brush in a different (finer) raw development.
I find (all) the pickers really not useful, even picking on a grey card - each time you pick you get different values.
If increasing the pick area would help then I would very much appreciate such an improvement.0 -

Yes, this is a major issue for X-Trans files since 10.1. I didn't understand the issue as well as I do now, and did a poor job at explaining it, but support can't see it.0 -

- Make it easier to swap between a grey/black/white background for the photo editor.

Changing the background colour should just involve a right-click on an area showing the background colour (i.e., the Viewer area around the image) and then selecting one of the choices. This would even work if the pop-up menu allowed further settings to be made as simply unfolding a "background color" sub-menu would be very little effort.
The current approach (via "Preferences") is so cumbersome. It involves six (6!) mouse clicks and a lot of mouse movements. The same has to be done to revert the background colour to one's default preference.
I made a feature request a long time ago and so should you.
I'd also love to be able to change the size of the images in the browser using Ctrl-mouse-wheel. I don't see any reason against supporting this.
My complete wishlist is longer, but the above would be trivial to implement.
My top-request, BTW, is to get a better Viewer rendering. It shouldn't be necessary to resort to "Proofing" in order to get a decent Viewer rendering.
Also, changes to the image should be atomic, even if they take a while. Currently C1 often shows an intermediate version before it renders the final version. This makes it impossible to evaluate the impact of a subtle change as the small change is completely hidden by the intermediate rendering that looks rather different. Sometimes an instant flipping backwards and forwards works, but often it doesn't. Potentially adjustments that disable GPU support (e.g. spot adjustments) or the preview size setting could have an impact. In any event, even if GPU support is unavailable the "before"/"after" views need to displayed back to back without a jarring intermediate image.0 -

Absolutely agree, the intermediate preview image is very counterproductive for subtle changes. It is however not always reproducible with all tools or settings, it annoys me often but I don't recall exactly when it occurs.
But here is an example:
- Change the Sharpening Amount to a very high value e.g. 500,
- Then hover over the value or slider, scroll the mouse wheel to slightly change the value
-> The intermediate image is rendered so much differnet from the before or after image (at least with my C1 installation) that my visual short-term memory immediately forgot the before image and is overwritten by the intermediate.
EDIT: I filed a support ticket "Annoying intermediate preview rendering", forum entries alone probably do not help much.0 -
Is this issue possibly only with the sharpening tool and the structure in clarity tool?
EDIT: No, it is also with other tools (e.g. levels, HDR). Especially in 67% zoom and especially if a higher amount of sharpening / structure is already set. As the intermediate render seems even higher sharpened than the amount value of the sharpen tool (given this value is not loo low), maybe the sharpening algo for the displayed screen area is followed by other algos which have a mildering effect on the oversharpened intermediate.0 -
1. I'd also vote on the gradients front, but first and foremost a 3-knot linear gradient which I haven't found an easy way to reproduce. Circular gradient second.
2. HDR and focus stacking. What's the point in shooting these in raw if we can't do it on the raw development software. It's the first step anyway.
3. Luminance masks.
4. Keep improving the layers. E.g. copy-paste data from layer to layer. Maybe use other images as layers in regards to the stacking support.
5. HDR file support. The software is designed to work with high dynamic range images, seems like an oversight that .hdr files can't be imported.0 -

It is possible to do this using a Smart Album and your preferred IPTC information field. Keyword is the obvious choice but Category or Intellectual Genre or Scene, etc., might be preferable and are available. The Smart Album definition would need to use the comparison criteria "contains" rather than, for example, "equals".[quote="nothing" wrote:

Once the keystone tool is activated it is possible to zoom into the image with the tool still active. (Or zoom and then activate the tool.)
The Space Bar can be used (Press and hold) to display a thumbnail of the image with a box for the visible window which can then be dragged around the full image area to locate the tool's key points.
Would this provide the functionality you need?

On a Mac, at least, you have to right click to get the box to drag around. So if the keystone tool is engaged, you have to press and hold the space bar (to temporarily get the hand tool) AND then right click to get the draggable box.

On windows you just need to move the hand tool onto the draggable box.
Actually that's not quite true now.
IF already zoomed in Space bar gets the thumbnail , the draggable box and the hand tool outside the thumbnail.
However, Right click gets the thumbnail, the draggable box and the "hand" positioned on the draggable box in one action.
As I recall the right click was an enhancement a release or two back but with Windows there was a glitch that caused a few problems with the functionality. Quickly fixed in the next release.
I thought initially it all sounded cumbersome but since I use a track pad on a notebook it's actually rather easy and convenient!
I'm sure I lose out in other ways but for this the trackpad approach it's great.
Whether the functionality that is available appeals to the poster "nothing" I have no idea but I got the impression they thought it was not possible in any way so I thought it would be a good idea to suggest it as at least some sort of solution.

Yes, its possible, but very inconvenient, cumbersome and requires quite a bit of manual work on IPTC tagging. Also it makes very difficult to track image variant usage from master album to particular smart album. Another problem is with "Delete" function - if you select variant in the smart album and press "delete" C1 removes variant from that album and source image (along with all variants) from parent project.[quote="SFA" wrote:

Yes, it can be done like you mentioned, but it would save quite sometime on zoom in/out/pan with simple and small popup zoomed window/area around control point, once you start moving that control point.0 -
Delete from a smart album is a matter of removing the connection to the smart album search.
Deleting the variant entirely but only the variant dies require taking the time to visit the original file and the full set of variants in that case.
I think there may be subtle differences dependnet on whather using catalogues or sessions (or, potentially, both.)
I suspect there may be ways to make the IPTC tagging less cumbersome but that might depend on your currently preferred work flow.

Maybe it's possible already but not sure how to do it, but when on a mac version you can have the toolbars and library bars auto hide so you can view the image larger. Would love to have this functionality in the windows version going on. 0 -
Well after the huge disappointment of Media Pro being discontinued and trying out the catalog functions of C1Pro, which IMHO are not nearly as good as what I had before. I really think the emphasis should be on a good DAM solution. I have been with Capture One since Version 3 (I think) and have really come to trust Phase One with my photos. You can imagine how gutted I feel. I have even started looking around for other solutions, a thing I never thought would happen. ☹️

Wish List
Considering the move from LR to C1. using 11.2 in trial mode
1 - Facial recognition to match what LightRoom has. Will never be able to bring over my Catalogs from LR and be fully in C1 until this feature is implemented.
2 - The option to overwrite when exporting. Should be able to set this up as a remembered choice for a given export.
3 - The ability to permanently dock the Brush Settings so it is always in view
4 - The ability to have the Brush Settings, Auto Mask check box toggled via a keyboard key
5 - The ability to change the the size of the brush using the Wheel mouse.
--- I am aware of the [ and ] keys. I wish to be able to change the size of the brush even faster by way of the wheel mouse.
--- This is the default behavior of the wheel in LR when working with brushes.
--- I find this very efficient as the size of the brush is a critical adjustment.
6 - Additionally, allow shift, alt and or ctl to adjust the Hardness and flow.
7 - Enhancement to Focus Mask:
--- The ability to see the focus points used by the camera. This information is in the Exif data. Please show it as well on the Focus Mask.
Options should be:
--- Show Focus mask (sharpest areas) only
--- Show Camera Focus points only
--- Show both Focus mask and Camera Focus points

I don't use my Wacom tablet for image processing because the ergonomics when using a lot of keyboard shortcuts at the same time just don't work for me.
However, sometimes I'm forced to use the Wacom tablet at work and it crashes Powerpoint relatively consistently. Not always, but far too many times.
No other software/device crashes my computer and Wacom drivers are notorious for causing trouble. You don't specify your exact issue, but I wouldn't be so sure that Wacom isn't the ultimate source and others have just found away to work around it.0
