Video: Capture One Beginners - The Many Ways to Rotate an Image in Capture One

One of the things about Capture One that is both a good and a bad thing about the software, is that there are often many ways to do the same task. While some people like myself, like this about the application, new users often find this frustrating. One good example of this is rotating images. There are so many different ways to rotate images in Capture One and in this video I go through 9 different methods. (Well, I show 8, but I mention a 9th)

Here are the different ways demonstrated in the video:

  1. Rotate in Crop tool
  2. Straighten Cursor Tool
  3. Freehand Rotate Tool
  4. Change Orientation Cursor Tools
  5. Change Orientation Buttons
  6. Keyboard Shortcuts
  7. Auto rotate
  8. Angle Slider
  9. Numerical Angle entry (Mentioned but not demonstrated)

There may well actually be other methods I haven’t thought of but these are the main ones. This highlights one of the things about Capture One that I like about the software, and that is its flexibility. You often have multiple ways of achieving the same task, and you can find the one that best suits your workflow. I do understand that some new users find this a bit overwhelming at times though, so I can understand the frustration too.
