I do a lot of work that requires an even background (think e-com). Typically I create 8 layers and draw gradients on each– Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Top Left, Top right and so on. For each shoot I have to create these exact layers and masks, which I suppose is rather frustrating since we have the ability to save a Custom Style with layers. In addition, I have the same dilemma with Luma Range masks. It would be greatly beneficial to have the ability to save those as well in Custom Styles.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
The last time I was affected by this lack of functionality was yesterday and everyday I'm on set (5 days a week).
Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
I try to keep a dummy file packed as an .eip with the layers on my local drive. However importing those files and synching the layers is just barely an improvement from redrawing the gradients.
I would also like this option. Including any adjustments to the layer. Though I can see a limitation with any adjustment(s) that rasterize the layer.
