Request a new feature, or support for a camera/lens that you would like to use in Capture One.
Currently, the Overlay appears to be anchored to the image rather than to the crop frame.
This means that when I change the crop — for example by moving the crop vertically or changing the image scale — the relationship between the overlay and the visible crop changes.
For a workflow where many images need to be aligned consistently, this makes the overlay difficult to use as a fixed composition guide.
I would like an option to anchor an Overlay to the Crop Frame instead of the underlying image.
In other words:
Overlay coordinates should be relative to the current crop area, not relative to the original image.
For example, if I create a 4:5 crop and load a 4:5 overlay:
the overlay should always fill exactly the current crop area
the overlay should remain fixed relative to the crop frame
moving the crop vertically or horizontally should not move the overlay
changing the image scale should not change the overlay's relationship to the crop frame
changing the crop position should only change which part of the photograph is visible underneath the fixed overlay
the overlay should automatically scale with the crop frame

Current workaround
I often need to align a specific feature of multiple photographs to the exact same position. For example, I photograph a series of products where one edge of the product runs diagonally through the frame. Currently I align the overlay with the vertical adjustment and the adjust the crop accordingly. |
