Make backgrounds color changeable

What problem do you see this solving?

This would be a game changer for those of us who tether. Being able to show the client the different options for background color choices would help in selling additional images with a choice of backgrounds.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

I cannot find a solution in Capture One but am able to achieve this in LightRoom

    Thank you for the suggestions! In particular, I was hoping to be able to quick select the subject and then be able to change to color of the background while the subject remains in the foreground.

    Hi 4555781040157

    This is something I do frequently in C1.

    In the Color Editor tool you can select a colour of your seamless and shift its hue. What a lot of people don't realize is that you can select the same spot multiple times (creating new adjustments in the Advanced tab of the Color Editor) and keep shifting the hue.

    You can also select the color once and create a mask for that color, basically the whole background, then do the same steps as above, just on a separate layer, that would allow you to adjust the opacity of the effect, as well.

    Also, there is an ongoing discussion thread for a request for Dynamic Color Masking (similar to Luma Masks) that would be great for this kind of functionality.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Dana, thanks for your suggestion.

    Can you give us more details about this and perhaps examples? Are you talking about the background in the photo behind the people you are shooting?
