Wishlist for Capture One
hello
i'm coming from Aperture and so far i'm liking Capture One a lot - but there are some points i'm missing from Aperture wich could help making the transition easier and would also be useful for long-term users of Capture One and maybe get back unhappy Lightroom-users (i really didn't like it when i was testing it)
1. at import - an option to create a new Projekt/Album where all imported images go would be nice
2. in the browser i can double click an image enter the viewer - great. But why not double-clicking again on the image and return to the browser? (right now i'm using a hotkey for that .. that works ok, but a double-click would be even better)
3. deleting images ... this is annoying... first i can only remove it from the album i'm in, then i need to go to "last imports" and there i can finally move it to trash ... why not offering to delete directly (or move to trash) when i'm in an album?
4. disabling/comparing corrections ... i know i can temporarily disable a correction when holding alt and pressing the tiny icon or create a new variant and compare ... but a switch for all tools to enable/disable it would much better. No?
5. relocating sources - in aperture i can easily select images and move their file-location somewhere else - i know it's possible too, but i have to go to the folders section, locate my images and drag and drop them somewhere else ... that's a bit cumbersome. The Aperture way is much more conveniet
6. colorcorreection - why hue shifting is so limited (+/- 20)?
7. Local Adjustment - pretty nice concept... but painting is terribly slow on my MBP and my MP
8. organizing library: why i can't add images to an project ? i have to create an album, drag images there - but then i can see all the images when i click on the project , doesn't seem logic to me

On item 2, the thing is that double-clicking an image in the viewer does something else - zooming to 100% and then double click again to zoom back out again, which I find quite useful.
On item 7, I do sometimes find that painting in a mask can slow down. I find the best thing when that starts to happen is to quit Capture One and re-launch it, and it all speeds up again.
Apart from that, remember that this is a user-to-user forum. If you want to make suggestions for new features, you can put them to Phase One in a support case. That way they gauge whether there is a lot of demand for features. (For instance you are not the first to suggest item 4, so I imagine that requesting that as a feature might be something that there is growing demand for.)

hi
2: here double clicking in the viewer simply does nothing (because i always have the select-tool on by default)
on 7: you are right, so thats a bug
you're right with your last point - i will send this as a feature-request to their support!0 -

Ah, right. I generally have the hand tool on by default.

Is there a difference between double clicking on the viewer or double clicking on the browser?
If you are using the "Select" arrow (I tend to use the Hand icon functions) the Browser is still the active window focus anyway, not the viewer. So there is really nothing to go back to, or so it seems. You are already there.
Or am I missing something?

I realize that a direct support case is they way to go here, and I'll do that too, but i think it is good to discuss these things here too because I find that some things I might want are already there and I just do not know how to do them and sharing these requests with other users can help prompt feature requests to Phase One.
Phase One recently sent out a questionnaire asking for input regarding features so I know they are interested and receptive.
So here's my list:
1. Ability to completely delete an image file from within a user collection or anywhere else that it might be located or referenced. This was mentioned above and for me it is a big one!
2. I think there should be an option to back up your original images as well as your edit data, etc from within CO. As it is now, only the edit /database data is backed up. This might be difficult for referenced files but if you import your images into the CO catalog they are right there and should be easy to back up with one click right along with the other image data.
3. The interface/tool font sizes should be sizable. On my 27" iMac a normal image viewing distance is too far away to clearly read the fonts and I find myself leaning in to edit etc and then leaning back to look at the image.
4.Better vignette tool. An obvious weakness. Should be an easy fix.
5.In the white balance tool I would like to see a small gradient under or in the tint slider. I still don't think of color as a number and this would be a quick easy reference.
6. A lot of people would like the tool tab/palette background color to be an option. I'm luke warm on this but how hard could it be? And it is certainly in keeping with the superb level of customization that is already available in CO.
I am generally very pleased with CO and even with these various 'wish list' features outstanding I am still so happy not to be chained to LR which I simply dreaded using, opening and even looking at. The personal license for CO is steep but worth every penny to me. The fact that Phase One seems so dedicated to ongoing improvement is very reassuring.0 -

Crossed wires here? There are two modes aren't there? Viewer on and viewer off. Viewer on means that the selected image(s) is/are shown in screen. If you have the browser film strip visible then you still see the thumbnails along the bottom or down the side according to your preference, and the tools may or may not be visible according to your choice. Viewer off means that you see thumbnails of all the images (or all those not filtered out) in a grid pattern. In viewer off mode, you can double click on an image and Capture One changes to viewer on mode, showing that image. The grid of images is no longer seen (though there may be a strip of thumbnails along the bottom or down the side). The suggestion is that double clicking the image again should switch the viewer back off again so that you see just the grid of thumbnails again.

I do miss hitting M on the keyboard in Aperture to view the original master file... The current method feels so clunky. 0 -

Ah, got you!
Not a mode I use much.
If the toggle needs to be a mouse (or equivalent) operation there's not much one can do unless the "mouse" device is mappable to replicate specific key strokes. However a single key toggle via the keyboard seems to work well.

On a recent webinar, David Grover said that he has set the § key to fulfil this function.

Hehe, must be a Mac thing .....
As I get older I have come to the conclusion that assigning too many tasks to the "mouse" hand is not a great idea.
The ability to utilise the other hand for some tasks to give the "mouse hand" a partial rest becomes more important, in my opinion.
It's something that is very easily achieved with C1.
Just a somewhat lateral thought on the subject.

Yes, § is conveniently placed on a Mac just below the Esc key.

By the way, I was only trying to clarify what the suggestion was. I'm not actually in favour of that, and I would miss being able to go to 100% by double-clicking.

Agreed.
Plus personally I don't see the need for using the browser without the viewer anyway.
But then I suppose that always will depend on what users individually have become used to working with previous systems.
I'm not convinced that all applications should work the same way. Nor that they should become complex to support by offering total "tailoring" options to make them look and act like other designer's ideas - even assuming that doing so was acceptable in the world of copyrights and patents.
Each to their own, as the saying goes.

+1 as well.
Also:
1/ "Do not import duplicates" as an import option would go a long way for my workflow as well.
2/ IPTC editor on Import rather than using presets0
