Match Total Exposures
Updated: 30 June 2022 Since this post, 15.3.0 was released and introduced a bug that can hang even crash when using this app. 15.3.1 was just released today which seems to be more stable, but there is a huge performance regression instead, which (while it now works again) makes this application VERY slow to work on files. I can see no workaround and have reported it. It’s been a really long time since my last post as I’ve been pretty busy with other things. Home again, home again… jiggity jig. Last year… Read More
Chicken Nuggets
This week I was working on a commission for a client. In the solution I needed to include a “technical” Style (a Style with certain parameters (meta data, flags) that aren’t necessarily typical of the generic Styles use-case). Then I realised: there was no way to really send Styles in a convenient way. I build a lot of custom install stuff for Capture One, automating the process of setup, shortcuts, dependencies etc, that help simplify and scale installations, but this seemed a little unsuitable for a Style. Then I remembered Style Packs…. Read More
Event Scripting
Events are the coolest way to utlize automation scripting, however the infrastructure for it is complex and pretty impenetrable for the uninitiated, so I wrote this article. The idea of events is that Capture One will initiate scripts automatically and repeatedly when a particular event happens. This means you can develop and extend Capture One’s behaviour to be reactive to certain repetitive conditions. Examples might be: As soon as an image is captured, process it. When I scan this bar code, do a vLookup in Excel and give me all the data… Read More
Store coming!
Over the last few weeks I have been burning hours on fine tuning, code signing, stapling and testing a bunch of apps and widgets for the DIT community using Capture One – and – with the help of some awesome people at FastSpring will finally be able to get these off my desktop and into the world. Still some work to do on the back end, but over the next few weeks or so we will have the first releases available to download, starting with Capture One ’20 support, with ’21 supported… Read More
Automation workflows with Monogram
The following was done with Monogram Creator (beta) and a set of the new Monogram Creative Console Studio tiles, in C1 v20. This week I was lucky to enough to get hold of the new Monogram kit for evaluation. We sometimes get clients looking for a simple “push this big button -> do workflow” for reducing C1’s somewhat idosyncratic techincal cruft, and so I wanted to see if it could be a useful solution. For the uninitiated, Monogram could be equated to a sort of modular “midi controller”; buttons and dials that… Read More
