Capture One 21 has just been released (8th December 2020) and one of the most talked about features is the Speed Edit keyboard shortcuts. They are a very convenient way to edit your photos very quickly. You can simply use the Keyboard shortcut and Mouse Wheel to adjust the settings or while presssing the keyboard shortcuts use the left/right arrow keys to decrease or increase the value.

In order to access the complete list navigate to EDIT -> Edit Keyboard Shortcuts and then switch to the Speed Edit tab in the window. Here you will see the entire list of keyboard shortcuts available for Speed Edit.

If you’re fairly new to Capture One, and you use brushes on layer masks a lot, or even for cloning and healing, you’ve probably found it really annoying that you couldn’t adjust the brush size and other parameters with keyboard shortcuts. Like we said, Capture One Pro lets you create and edit your own shortcuts. In order to do this you must go to the keyboard shortcuts menu, accessible through Edit Keyboard Shortcuts (if you are working on a PC) or iCapture One Edit Keyboard Shortcuts (if your computer is a Mac). Once inside the window, you will see all available keyboard. Getting used to using shortcuts in Capture One should greatly speed up your RAW photo editing workflow! To view the full list of keyboard shortcuts and to customize some of the shortcuts, go to the Edit menu and then to Edit Keyboard Shortcuts. PC users, replace Opt with Alt, and replace Cmd with Ctrl.

Adjusting any of the sliders by pressing the Keyboard shortcut and using a Mouse Middle Wheel (or slide up/down gesture on Apple Magic Mouse) gives you finer control as the values seem to change in very small increments like up/down by 0.01-0.02. Its hard to tell but this seems to my experience.

Edit with Keyboard

Adjusting any of the sliders by pressing the Keyboard shortcut and using the Left/Right keys of your keyboard seems to increment the value in 0.075 which is a bigger jump compared to a Mouse Wheel.

Customise

Although the default shortcuts are quite useful and once you use them a couple of times you will get quickly used to them. Because they are laid out on the left side of the keyboard where you’d place your left hand for typing, therefore your right hand is free to use the left/right keys or the mouse. You can however change them if you are left handed and use the mouse in your left hand. Or you just want to change these to your own preferences.

Simply navigate to EDIT -> Edit Keyboard Shortcuts and from the Speed Edit Keys tab create a new set of keyboard shortcuts to make your own.

Layers

Speed Edit also works on any new Layer you create within your image so adjusting Sky highlights for example using a Linear Gradient Mask you simply press the A key and use your mouse/keyboard to adjust the values.

Learn how to:

✓ Apply ratings and color tags
✓ Utilize Sets for selecting the best images
✓ Sort images using Filters and Smart Albums

Applying ratings and color tags

Images in Capture One can be tagged with a color and /or a rating. What each color and rating represent is completely up to you. Tagging and rating images make it a lot easier to navigate large collections of images.

Rating

Images can be rated in different ways:

• The five dots under the image in the browser and in the viewer represent an empty rating. Click one of the dots to change the rating of the image.
• Select the image, or images, you wish to apply a rating to.
  • Right click on an image and go to ‘Rating’. Select the rating you wish to apply.
  • Hit a number key on your keyboard [0-5] to apply the corresponding rating.

Color tagging

Rust Keyboard Capture

Color tags can be applied in different ways:

• The empty square under the image in the browser and in the viewer indicates that the image has no color tag. Click it and select one of the available colors.
• Select the image, or images, you wish to apply a color tag to.
  • Right click on an image and go to ‘Color Tag’. Select the color tag you wish to apply.
  • There are two default keyboard shortcuts for applying color tags; green [+] and red [-].*

* Additional keyboard shortcuts can be set by going to ‘Edit Keyboard Shortcuts…’

Using Sets to find the best images

With your images selected, the default shortcut for viewing the next set is [ALT + right arrow key]. This makes it easy to navigate and evaluate images by comparing them. Navigating using the arrow keys alone lets you select individual images within your selection in order to rate or color tag them.

Filtering and sorting images

Filtering images can be done in many different ways. This tutorial will cover the Filters Tool and Smart Albums.

Filters Tool

Within the Library Tab, the Filters Tool is located. This tool lets you filter on the images in your current collection (folder, album or favorite).

Enable any filter by clicking it. If you need to filter on more than one criteria, hold down CMD or CTRL and click another filter.

In the tool sub-menu, you can decide if the results should match all criteria. For example, if you click the green color tag and five stars filters, enabling this will show images with both a green color tag and a five-star rating. Disabling this will show images with either a green color tag or a five-star rating.

Filtering applied from this tool will be active in the current collection until it’s removed again.

To clear your current filters, click the ‘x’ icon to the right of the “Search” field.

Smart Albums

Filtering through all images added to a Session or Catalog, Smart Albums are dynamically updating albums, allowing a quick shortcut to pre-defined search criteria. You can, for example, have a Smart Album containing all images with a five-star rating and a green color tag. Any image that matches these criteria will automatically be shown in the Smart Album.

Add a new Smart Album by clicking the plus-icon and selecting Smart Album. Give it a name and add as many criteria as your workflow requires using the plus-icon.

Smart Albums are saved in the Session or Catalog, and will include images matching the criteria, which are already added to the Session or Catalog. This includes Session Folders, Session Favorites and Albums.
