Summer. Hot summer. That’s a perfect time for another episode of “things you don’t know about Capture One.” And, you know what? We’ll talk only about the Alt key today. Yep, this single key is full of hidden features in Capture One. 1. Before/After comparison Each tool in Capture One has a reset button: Normally, it just resets the tool.

First of all, let’s try to imagine, what would have the most significant impact on photography in the next 5-7 years? No surprise there – smartphones. While many photographers were moсking the size of smartphone lenses, they underestimated a real killer feature – internal hardware. It’s more powerful than your camera’s, and it delivers fantastic results in photography. For example, Focos app for iPhones with dual camera. It creates a 3D map of your photograph and allows you to work with color, exposure and bokeh in 3D layers. Here are some of my experiments with Focos, all the editing was…
I have already shown this tip in my recent Capture One Live Show. After the show, I received lots of comments about this tip, and it was quite surprising that many of you are not familiar with this feature. Ok, the tip – when you have selected a group of images in Capture One, you can synchronize zooming and viewing of these images by holding the Shift key. That’s the feature I use each time when I need to compare few photos in details, and it works fabulously.
