Hi. I'm new here so please bear with me.
1. What is the easiest way to toggle between an edited image and the original for comparison purposes? In LR there was a comparison (side by side) tool.
Hi,
Capture One offers a number of ways to compare the before/after result.
The easiest is to create a
clone variant (they will be identical views with all adjustments to that point included) and do your additional editing on one of the variants. You can then show them side-by-side or go forward and back to switch them in place.
You can also temporarily disable all the adjustments of an individual tool, while holding the Alt (on Windows) or Option (on Mac) key, by clicking the reset icon at the top right of the particular tool panel.
You can also temporarily reset a single slider control, by clicking on the name of the control.
Cheers,
Bart
