Capture One 4.8 question

[Ben Z]

I Googled for this but maybe I didn't use the right choice of search words. I just updated to 4.8 so this pertains to this latest edition.

I use the same C1 settings for all M8 DNG's except that for shots @ ISO 1250 (and, as occasionally as possible, 2500) I set the chroma noise-reduction to 75. I've thus far been doing it by hand, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can automate it.

Does anybody know (and can detail for me) a way to set an action (or whatever it may be called) that automatically switches for shots where the EXIF shows 1250 or 2500?

In fact, is there any way to flag a batch of files based on an EXIF parameter or parameters? I'd love to be able to batch all my 12mm Heliar shots so I can run them through Cornerfix without having to search through a couple hundred files looking for the EXIF tag (I use a 90 adapter coded as a 135 Elmarit to flag the 12mm shots. There's no vignetting processing done for that lens as far as I can tell, so the M8 doesn't cook those files).

Thanks.

You can down load a instructs manual at Phase one site. I read it all the time, trying to learn every thing about C1
Good luck

Yes - the little inverse triangle in the righthand corner --> add preset. Then you can choose from different presets.

Ricko: I read the manual many times. It's not very good.

Jaap: I know about the presets. I still have to manually go through all my files and separate them according to ISO (160-640, and 1250-2500) and then I can apply a preset. There doesn't seem to be any way I can link a preset to a specific EXIF parameter such as ISO.

Also, for some reason, in the previous version I could go EDIT>"select all" and set eg. no sharpening and turn off NR on the first image, and it would apply to all files in that library. Now, in 4.8 I have to click "Copy Adjustments" and then "Apply Adjustments" to get it to apply to all. I don't know if my copy is corrupt or they changed things. Also this morning it froze up on me, which it never did in the previous version. I'm sorry I upgraded so far. May end up going back to using ACR if these bugs keep up. Maybe I can down-grade back to the previous version?

The "Copy Adjustment" ist just the normal way to use this feature. The current 4.8 version is in my eyes very bug free compared to 4.7 or 4.6.

Vielen dank, Tom. I use so many different programs that sometimes I forget which one works how, then I upgrade one and I'm sure they changed something for the worse. C1 4.8 works fine.

This is a good question - we all have different lenses with different filter configurations so processing a batch with mixed lens configurations is not easy. I too have wondered how to do this.

I guess that a temp solution would be to download the DNG files into a viewer program that can view and sort by lens mm. Then organise them into folders with each lens type then handle each group separately. Not tried it by perhaps ACDC? I recall it was pretty powerful with sorting and viewing functions.
