Request a new feature, or support for a camera/lens that you would like to use in Capture One.
What problem do you see this solving?
Describe the problem or issue you are having in Capture One.
The two biggest problems working with layers in C1 for me are 1) the lack of a useable zoom feature when you are using a wacom pen. In PS you have a great feature that is to hold Z+drag pen to right or left. That is super quick and useful. In C1 you don't have anything even close to that and usually I have to rely on ctrl++/- but that means I have to move my hand and also it does not specify the zooming area. Zooming with scroll wheel of the mouse is great, but when you are with the pen you don't reach for the mouse. 2) the other type of problem has been happening to me all the time and keeps happening no matter what - that is to work on the wrong layer. When you scroll down in your menus and layers stay hidden, you don't know what layer are you in and many times I end up doing adjustments in the wrong layer. This one is a hard one and it needs to be addressed thoughtfully. Maybe color coding the layers or something very undeniably straghtforward.
These two issues persistently prevent me from working in layers in C1 and practically making all layer functionalities useless for me since I go to PS anyway for zoom, speed and easier layer identification. I think if C1 solves this problems layers would turn out much more useful. Some comments for the zoom with Z+pen drag were posted in 2014. That is long time ago and the enemy is not sleeping. Speed is everything these days. Come on guys. Get serious.
Think about what it is that you're trying to achieve, and the reason why you are trying to do it.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Everyday. Workflow is affected greatly and I go to PS.
Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? I use Photoshop. That is the workaround, however I would rather stay here. |
