Reverting to the old tool Tab Layout in Capture One 22 15.3
When Capture One released the latest version (15.3) one of the key “features” was a re-designed layout of the tools and tool tabs. This seems to have been done for consistency with the iPad version of Capture One, but some people may still prefer the old layout. Luckily, you can revert to the old style arrangement of the tools, although there are still some changes. In this post, I’ll show you how to do this.
Capture One for iPad Now Available
After several months of being in beta, Capture One for iPad is now available. The App, which you can get now from the App Store, offers a subset of Capture One for desktop’s functionality, so it is limited.

Capture One Quick Tip - Don’t forget about Presets
Most people think of Styles when thinking about saving process recipes in Capture One. Styles let you save a wide range of settings into a file that can easily be recalled, and work great as both a time saver and for creating looks that you can apply to a photo. However, you shouldn’t forget about Capture One’s other recipe saving tool: presets.
Capture One Wish List – 5 Things I wish Capture One would do to improve the Software
I’ve been using Capture One for quite some time now (since version 6 I think) and in that time it’s come a long way. With recent versions, they’ve been adding a lot of features that people have requested for a long time, but there are still areas where I think the software could be improved. Moreover, some recent decisions by the company are somewhat perplexing, and there are areas there that could be improved too. So, in no particular order, here are the five things I would love to see improved in Capture One

Video: Capture One Beginners - The Many Ways to Rotate an Image in Capture One
One of the things about Capture One that is both a good and a bad thing about the software, is that there are often many ways to do the same task.

There are so many different ways to rotate images in Capture One and in this video I go through 9 different methods. (Well, I show 8, but I mention a 9th)

Capture One 22 Quick Tip - Change the Notification Settings
One of the new features introduced in Capture One 22 is the new notification system on the Mac. The software now uses the system wide notification system to let you know when various tasks are completed, such as merging panoramas, or even just exporting images. While this is useful, it can also get annoying, especially if you’re doing a lot of things in succession. Luckily it’s easy enough to control these notifications or turn them off completely.
