Capture One customization - share your setup !
Hi!
We all know how easy it is to customize Capture One's interface to your personal tastes and needs. So here's a topic in which you can share your setup, to maybe inspire or give ideas to others.
Let's start with my own setup. I have a dual screen configuration. Since I like to have my library/filters/metadata/keywords tools always visible, here's what I did.
1st "tools" screen on the left is divided into 4 columns organized as such:
--> Click to see <--
2nd screen shows the usual tools/viewer/browser organization, with tool tabs slightly rearranged and modified and the viewer toolbar hidden to save some space (I use personal shortcuts on the numeric keypad for zooming, + to zoom-in, - to zoom-out, = for fit to screen, * for 100%) :
--> Click to see <--
Tell us how you customized your setup! 😊

I am on Windows, I have pretty much the default workspace on a 24 inch monitor, only a few customizations:
- Clarity tool also in Details tab
- Keywords tool also in library tab
- A gaming mouse with additional keys for masking: B, E, M (Brush, Eraser, showhide Mask)
- Changed a few keyboard shortcuts for "showhide" viewer alt+v, browser alt+b, tools alt+t
- Mouse-wheel down is defined as Pan (H) & mouse left click to allow for fast panning during masking
The two last points are helpful for me whilst working with only 1 monitor.0 -

Good idea! 😊0 -
Default setup so I can get use to it...in case I am the digital tech for someone 😊
But I did add in the B&W tool tab and change the Show/Hide viewer hotkey to the tilde key ( ` and ~ ) on mine.0 -
Question to those who have two monitors:
If you place the tools tab on the right hand side of the left monitor and open a tools menu and sub menu ("..."), does the menu open to the left or does it "cross the border" to the right monitor?
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to cross the border here (Mac version, if it makes any difference).0 -
I don't have a single setup which I always use. I have a set of several workspaces, which I use depending on my task and mood.
I work with two screens and my usual setup is having the image in a viewer window full screen on my NEC wide gamut screen while I have all the adjustments as single floating windows on my second old Cinema display (in more or less the same order like in the standard tooltabs). I then switch back and forth between thumbnails and the picture using "hide/view viewer", which I put on a hotkey (I seldom use the browser).
What I found is that this impacts C1's performance a lot, the application seems to get slower with more floating windows around. This may be an issue of graphic memory, since I work with an old Mac Pro from 2010 and just 1 Gb VRAM. Unfortunately Aperture was very fast with this setup, so Phase One still has lots of work to do on the interface performance side. This is one of the downsides of combined Win/Mac applications (same with LR).
Because of these performance issues I sometimes end up working with just the default single screen setup on my NEC. The way the tooltabs are set up in the default makes a lot of sense, so there is not so much need for customisation in my opinion.
What bothers me is the way the windows are handling in general. This is far from OS X standard. For example in full screen I have still a border around my viewer window. I hate this. I want to see nothing but the image on my second screen, the same way Aperture always did. Sometimes I manage to get rid of the borders by use of some voodoo combinations I always forget, but it never sticks. This really drives me up the wall, I don't know whats so hard about implementing a real full screen mode.
What I find most important is to change the standard keyboard shortcuts. Many of the really useful functions are set up per default with key modifiers like CTRL, OPTION, SHIFT etc. This makes zero sense. I have most of them put on a single key, like "E" for exposure warning or "G" for hide/show viewer, "X" for hide/show browser etc.0 -
Thanks for your feedback, EnderWiggins.
As you can see from my first post, I have several floating tools on my second screen but I didn't notice any speed issue. Maybe there's a limit beyond which the number of floating tools begins to impact performance? I don't know.
About shortcuts, I agree some of them are overly complicated. Good thing we can change them at will.0 -
I keep my tool sequence in workflow order, top down. Global things first, followed by normal adjustments, and ending with fine tuning.
High Dynamic Range, for example, has a big impact on the histogram, therefore High Dynamic Range above Levels.
White Balance changes the look of all colors, therefore White Balance above color adjustments.
Levels above Curve.
And so on.
Surprise! Doing so ends up with something that looks like the standard sequence given by PO.
I added the b&w tool tab to my standard workspace, because I love b&w works.
My browser strip is on the right. I shoot a lot of images in portrait layout. Having the browser at the bottom is just a waste of image space on wide screen monitors for me.
Dedicated workspaces are great to adapt the 'tool sequence in workflow order' approach to special needs. Like putting the LCC tool or the Styles And Presets into the normal sequence.

Thanks HansB, the ordering of tools from bigger to smaller impact makes a lot of sense. 0 -
Hi,
I am using two customised workspaces for image selection and image editing.
You may download the settings from my dropbox folder:

I have two sharpening presets for my Nikon D4s and D810 as well as some noise reduction:
