Capture One 4.7

Ok, so I promised I would give a review of the new Capture One 4.7 update.

Heres what Ive found in 3 days of of rigorous people shooting:

  1. The capture name will still sometimes be lost if you flip between tabs while you are receiving captures. The workaround for this is to either create a custom tab or to customize the camera tab (control click in tab area) and then add the controls you would like on that tab.
  2. Processing speed has improved by about 3 sec per file from C1pro 3.9.
  3. Make sure edit primary variant only button (top right of the tool bar, a square with a 1 in it) is not depressed. Otherwise you will only be able to edit the file you have selected; this includes processing. Unless of course you only want to edit one file at a time.
  4. In window menu there is a window called viewer that you can set to 100% in order to check focus while capturing without having to change zoom or double click the hand tool.
  5. Under next capture adjustments there is a option to apply default with style, usually I leave this set to copy from last.
  6. Session albums can be created in order to see various selected captures from the session without moving the files around in the session.
  7. command J will move the selected captures to the move to folder within the session. This could be useful in a workflow where you want to only have to edit the the rough selects. You could name this folder Raw Selects for instance.
  8. Batch Rename is useful but can come dangerously close to crashing the software if used on over 300 files in my experience.
  9. Copyright Metadata (or any field that is included in the c1 pro interface) is lost when raws are processed from DSLRs. You have to put copyright meta in the info tab as a adjustment (or in the camera using EOS utility) either at the time of capture or before process. Meta fields like author (that are not in C1 pro) are retained. This is true for both phase files and DSLRs.
  10. Tip: to zoom the same area on 2 files just hit return while having a file selected. This will set the file as the compare variant (all newly captured files will be compared to it, but….only if auto-select new capture in the camera menu is chosen) So after the compare variant is selected  go to multi-view then hold the shift key while zooming to zoom both files at once. Sweet! Then comand return to deselect the compare variant.

Thats all I can think of for now. Happy Shooting!
