only one image is selected and I cannot crop it, it doesn't work
the image stays with the frame around but is never cropped
there is nowhere a Simply crop!
Hi Erick,
As long as the crop tool is selected at the top of the screen (see attachment), or the same symbol in the Crop tool panel, you will (need to) see the crop marks, but the image is already cropped. This is so you can reposition the crop markers as soon as the Crop tool is (re)selected (keyboard shortcut C). As soon as you select another tool than the crop tool, e.g. the pan or hand tool (keyboard shortcut H) then only the cropped region will be shown, or when you export the image, then only the cropped region will be exported, unless you (temporarily) disable it there with a checkbox.
even enter doesn't work
I don't see why you'd want to press enter, since there is no need to confirm a selection. Just select a crop region and you're done. In Capture One it is considered a waste of time having to reconfirm what you have already selected. In other applications it may be necessary, but not in Capture One.
capture one is one of the worst user-friendly photo software, the render is very good but the interface is terrible
Have you read any of the
help files, or are you trying to replicate the sometimes needlessly complicated way it is done in other applications? Just spend a minute or two in reading the instructions, and you'll see it's simpler (but also more powerful) than you may think. When you rotate the image (just hover the mouse outside a cropped corner), the crop will automatically readjust, a real timesaver. And you can also crop larger than the image, it takes nothing more than allowing it with a checkbox.
Cheers,
Bart
