Set aperture value above which diffraction would auto turn on

What problem do you see this solving?

I mostly shoot a mix of large and small aperture shots. Would be cool if one could set an aperture limit above which the diffraction-filter would automatically be turned on. (Would be awesome if it was part of lens profiles)

Current workaround

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

It's quite time consuming to turn on or control image per image when editing

    Thanks - I'm going with the Style version 👍

    I think you have 2 options.

    One would be to make the setting for one image and then cut and paste for the rest of the selected images.

    Or, and I think this might be a faster approach, create a preset or "style" for the adjustment, giving it a usefully detailed name, and save the style as a User Preset (or style) that can be applied to multiple images at the same time.

    Hi - thanks

    Sorting by aperture is a good idea.

    However I can’t make setting Diffraction Correction =  On to be applied to all selected images?
    (Yes, Edit Selected is highlighted)
    Seems I need to do it on images one by one - ?

    Presumably this would need to be on a per-lens basis?

    Have you considered creating appropriate pre-sets for each of your affected lenses that include or exclude diffraction correction, then apply them as required?

    It could be done as part of an import process if the set of import images was suitably filtered and imported in batches. However, it would probably be easier to skip that  (unless you were working with large batches of files that all needed or did not need correction) and simply filter by lens and aperture at some point in your process flow, perhaps after the initial image culling steps, and apply the preset for the lens batch at that time.
