DETAILS
Smart Adjustments
Designed for photographers shooting portraits, weddings, events and other images of people, it automatically adjusts Exposure and White Balance to match the look across images.
Smart Adjustments. Before above, After below.
The tool is designed for editing workflows where copy/apply cannot give a consistent result because the starting points are different. Smart Adjustments can be added in a Style where additional adjustments can be included as well, getting closer to one-click editing.
Cull and Import
The upgraded culling is designed for high-volume photographers, making it faster and more enjoyable to find the best shots.
Cull. View, rate, tag and browse.
View, rate, tag and browse with zero delay and get an easy overview of similar images for a faster selection. The added functionality is available both from the Importer and the new dedicated cull view.
Layers in Styles
You can now include Layers with individually defined opacities when saving Styles. By applying a Style with one or more Layers starting at reduced opacity, for example 50%, the effect of each Layer can easily be both increased and decreased, giving you full control of your Styles workflow.
Change Capture Time
Change the capture time on images to synchronize multiple cameras, or simply fix an incorrect camera clock or time zone. Available from the main Image menu, from the right-click menu, and within the Metadata and File Info Tools. Timestamp on images can also be changed before importing by changing it directly from the File Info Tool in the Importer.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Among the other improvements made in this release are:
- Sony files load faster from the disk, enabling faster preview generation and rendering when zooming to 100 percent.
- Exporting on certain Windows machines with multiple GPUs will be up to 100 percent faster.
- The Capture One Live button has been renamed "Share online" for clarity.
