Capture One allows the user to easily customize the default set of keyboard shortcuts. After repeated requests we are releasing our internal Capture Integration recommended Custom Keyboard Shortcut list. These are intended to increase the speed of your workflow.

Below is the list of our recommended shortcuts. Some of these are defaults, some we added, and at the bottom are three that we removed.

Consider this our first pass at an ongoing process. We would love feedback (send to info@captureintegration.com) about these shortcuts and which you found useful or what shortcuts you’ve added.

Featured Shortcuts

Editing

After editing through your images with 1 through 5 star ratings or a green (+), yellow (*), or red (–) colors you can select the images with those ratings/colors by holding option and the corresponding rating/color. So for instance you can select all 5 star images by pressing Option-5. Combine this with the default Option-J command to copy selected images to the move to folder and you have a very fast means of sorting images into a separate physical folder.

Quick Adjustments

Use the standard shortcuts Apple-Left and Apple-Right to switch between images and the custom shortcuts [ and ] to adjust the exposure up and down 1/10th of a stop.

Create Black and White versions of all images in a folder

Use Apple-A to select all images. Use F3 to create a clone variant of all images. Use Apple-Shift-I to invert the selection. Set the saturation to Zero or select one of Capture Integration’s B+W Styles. Use the tilda (`) to bring up the adjustment keyboard and check or uncheck the relevant settings for the b+w style (e.g. just saturation, or ICC-profile/contrast/vignette/clarity). Push Enter to apply the changes to all the variants. Now use Apple-Option-< and Apple-Option-> to show or hide the black and white variant.

Mac Install Instructions

  1. Ensure you have Capture One 5.1.1 installed.
  2. Close any programs that are open (other than this browser!). Most especially close Capture One.
  3. Fill out the simple form at the end of this blog entry to receive the link to download the ZIP file containing the styles.
  4. Navigate to the following location [User Folder* > Library > Application Support > Capture One > KeyboardShortcuts]
    Note: if you do not have a folder named “KeyboardShortcuts” in this folder you will need to create one. Be careful to use the same spelling (capital K and S) and spacing (no space between Keyboard and Shortcuts).
  5. Place the keyboard shortcut plist file in that folder.
  6. Launch Capture One.
  7. Select [Capture One > Edit Keyboard Shortcuts].
  8. From the drop down list at the top Select [CaptureIntegration 10-5-2]
*your user folder is the one with the house icon. Usually it is your name or the name of your company. If you don’t know what your user folder is the easiest way to find it is to click on the desktop and then go to the pull down menu [Go > Home]
