Option to Disable Auto-Copy for "Retouch Faces" Tool

I would like to suggest a small but important improvement regarding the new "Retouch Faces" tool introduced in Capture One. Currently, the settings from this tool are automatically copied when synchronizing adjustments between images. While this behavior may be helpful in some scenarios, in many workflows it leads to unnecessary processing and system load, especially when retouching is image-specific.

It would be very helpful to have the option to exclude "Retouch Faces" from automatic copying, similar to how you’ve already implemented this for the "Composition" tool. Specifically, I’d love to see an option like:

"Adjusted except Composition and Retouch Faces"

This would allow users to synchronize adjustments more efficiently and avoid redundant retouching data being copied to other images where it is not needed.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe it would significantly improve performance and user control during batch editing workflows.

Current workaround

Right now, the only way to avoid copying "Retouch Faces" settings is to manually uncheck the tool each time you copy adjustments. This becomes very inconvenient when you frequently copy and paste settings during editing — for example, every 10th photo or when working with image stacks. You have to remove the checkboxes every time, instead of simply using Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V and working efficiently.
