One of the strengths of Capture One Pro is the ability to customize
the workspace in a manner that makes sense to you.
This could be to add tools you want to have close at hand,
and remove those you don’t use.
Nearly all of the elements of the work space can be moved or adjusted.
This can then be saved as a Workspace.
Some predefined Workspaces are already available in Window>Workspace.
Check if these fit your needs before creating your own.
Lets start by looking at the three areas of the Tools, Browser and Viewer.
The browser is placed on the bottom in the default workspace.
It can also be placed on the opposite side to the Tools
by choosing Place Browser Right (or left) in the View menu.
Equally the tools can be placed left or right.
As our tools are now currently on the left, the option will show as
Place tools Right, also in the View menu.
Tools are placed in a number of different tools tabs.
To add or remove a complete Tool Tab, right-click on
on any tool tab and choose Add Tool Tab or Remove Tool Tab.
Add any individual tool to any tool tab in the same way.
The order of the Tool Tabs can be changed by click dragging the tool tab icon.
To create a floating tool, simply drag it away from the tool area,
or create one in the Window menu.
To remove it, choose Remove Tool in the drop down menu.
The size of the tool area and thumbnail browser can be
increased or decreased in size by dragging the separator.
Change the browser view by selecting one of the three options
and resizing if available.
Both Browser and Tool area also have an Auto show mode.
Choose either option in the View menu.
This keeps the area hidden until the cursor is moved to the edge of the window.
The Browser, Tools and Viewer can also be
hidden from the View menu and with simple shortcuts.
The contents of the toolbar can also be edited and saved
as part of a Workspace.
Right Click on the toolbar and choose Customize.
All available icons will be shown.
Then drag and drop any icon or icons to the toolbar.
A Full Screen option is available by choosing View>Enter Full Screen.
Press escape to exit.
If you are working with dual monitors, it may be useful to separate
the viewer from the main workspace.
Choose Window>Viewer and then drag the viewer window
to your secondary monitor.
To save the workspace, Go to Window>Workspace
and then Save Workspace.
Name your workspace.
It will then appear in the Workspaces menu.
All shortcut keys in Capture One can be programmed to your own choices.
Go to the Capture One menu and choose Edit Keyboard Shortcuts.
Start by duplicating the Default set by clicking Duplicate.
Open the menu option you wish to edit shortcuts for.
Click once in the short cut key section.
And then enter the key or key combination for the shortcut.
Close the editor when you have finished creating shortcuts.
For a summary of the current shortcuts,
browse to the help menu and choose Keyboard Shortcut summary.
This will open a printable list in your web browser.
