Identify a photographer hand poses to generate groups when import.

What problem do you see this solving?

I don't use the group overview feature when importing because sometimes I wanna include photos with no similarities between them.

So, I think as a location manager and digital assistant, a possible solution to identify every group, it should be to apply hand shapes before we shoot every look or panorama and once we finish ever look or panorama. So between two hands shapes, a group including or not these hand shapes.

I do this manually for panoramas, to know when I shoot in a different location etc putting my hand in front of the lens and then select everything between two hands.

Hand shapes:

  • Shaka hand (the one surfers use to say everything ok or say hello, the Hang Loose Logo etc)
  • Fist
  • Maloik (the popular one used in rock, heavy music)
  • The thumb one.
  • ot the easiest hand shape the code could identify.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

In every shooting when tethering fails and the photographer is too far just with the model and the card had been storing some looks.

When I do Scountings.

Current workaround

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

No.
