How to consistently exclude rating etc on copy / paste?
Ok, so I'm going through a wedding for the first time in CO 4 and I'm getting worried it's not going to work terribly well...
Problem centers around copy and paste settings. I have several times accidently pasted a new star rating onto multiple images. I NEVER would want ot paste a rating from one image to another. Same goes for crop. And sometimes, I want to copy whitebalance from one image to another even though I haven't changed it on the source image (by default it seems to copy only what's been modified).
Even if I select exactly what I want to paste, my settings are lost when I do another copy. Is there any way to get the specific settings I want copied without switching to the adjustments clipboard EVERY time and selecting / deselecting what I want? I don't see a way to create a preset or anything.
This is something I do hundreds of times per shoot. 3.7 worked great. Unless I'm missing something 4.0 looks like a nightmare. If I can't solve this problem, I guess I have to go back to 3.7... I'm not sure I can make it through even one wedding like this. If I buy a new camera, I suppose I'll have to buy Lightroom or Bibble or something...
Also, anybody missing EXIF in the meta data display? (It doesn't show flash compensation for my 20D.)

You are exactly right with your assessment of the copy and apply adjustments. In 3.7 you could set up a default of what items would be copied and applied. If you don't want to routinely apply a rotation with every copy and apply, you leave it unchecked in your preferences and it doesn't get applied. Having to deselect items every time you copy and apply slows down the workflow.
I've requested that within a feature request with PO, but you know how requests seem to be treated. When it comes to copying and applying adjustments, 3.7 was perfect. It was simple, easy and quick. I understood it from the very beginning and it was the single thing that drew me to C1. 4.0 is confusing, awkward, and slow, at least compared to 3.7. After about a month of using it, I believe I understand 4.0 better now than I did even two weeks ago; but my assessment of it is still the same. And it should say something about how it is set up that it confused me for so long.0 -
Just started out, and I'm very confused to! I must say that the 3.7 approach was much more handy and logical!
For me it seems that if I want to copy only adjustments under a specific tool (not all adjustments), I have to click "Copy Adjustments", then in the "Adjustments Clipboard" choose "Deselect All", and then check the desired tool and "Apply".
Have you found out any quicker way, please enligten me!0 -
You pretty much have it right. I think the idea is to only deselect items that you do not want applied rather than deselecting all and then rechecking off what you want to keep. Bottom line is that it can be more cumbersome than 3.7, depending on what adjustments you make to the master image. Hopefully we'll see a default setting option in a future rendition of 4.0. 0 -
Ok, thanks.
I often work with one tool at a time, for instance the white balance. Therefore in my case rather then deselecting the other six tools I choose the "Deselect All" option in my example and then check the desired tool only.
Trying to minimze the number of mouse clicks. But still, there are far too many of them in order to carry out such basic routines. :/
Thanks again for contribution! Sadly I don't have big hopes in this being fixed in future releases.0 -
My understanding of the copy and apply adjustments is that when you click on copy, only the adjustments that you made get copied. If all you did was adjust exposure, then that would be all that gets copied and applied. It's all confusing though with 4.0 in terms of what is checked in the adjustments panel, and I believe there were some bugs in it that made it that much more confusing.
Bottom line is that I believe it should behave so that only the tools that you adjusted get copied and applied. If it's not doing that you might contact Phase One for further instruction. I requested several months ago that they do a video tutorial on the copy and apply adjustments because what is in the manual is inadequate and because it confused me (and still does), even though I have used C1 Pro for 3 years.0
