What problem do you see this solving?
Repetitive cropping of multiple images where the only thing that changes about the crop is where to place the box
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
My primary use of Capture One is on a Copy Stand digitizing documents and most of the documents don't fill the frame all the way in one direction or the other leaving a lot of cropping when you take hundreds of images per day. This is especially true when I have hundreds of pages from a single document and they are all the same size requiring hundreds of the EXACT SAME CROP, even if I optimize the position of the copy stand to take full advantage of the camera frame or optimize it for the least amount of cropping at the expense of using the worst part of the frame (corners and the loss of sharpness and vignetting). What I would like to see is a cropping option to "use previous crop" in addition to the other options because this would make it simple to just drag the box over slightly. To be frank, this is a simple feature that would save me hours of processing time per project.

Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? I am unsure if there are other solutions. I looked into the "Cultural Heritage" edition briefly with its focus on Phase One copy stands, auto-cropping, and the ability to invert film negatives (two of those features I don't see why they couldn't just be included in the base C1), but I don't have the money for that type of hardware and the software is not offered standalone. As is, I liberally use keyboard shortcuts, including a few hidden ones that I found through articles. While keyboard shortcuts save some mouse movement, that is trivial to the amount of time sizing the cropping box. |
In lightroom you would copy Lens Adjustments -> Scale , and then simply manipulate the XY offset with sliders. I've suggested similar on other cropping posts like this one:
