Variants can guide you towards better images

There are many alternative ways to optimize an image and often the optimization involves some compromises.

Use Variants to achieve the best results when optimizing. Try one adjustment, create a Variant and try out an alternative adjustment. With the Variants it is easy to see which adjustment works better.

• A Variant is a virtual copy of an image and a Variant does not take up extra disk space.

• Each Variant can be adjusted with individual tool parameters.

• You can create multiple Variants of an image.

 
Different variations: From untouched RAW to final image

How to use Variants in Capture One
• Use “New Variant” to get a virtual copy of the original RAW file with default adjustments
(Shortcut Mac: F2 /Win: F7).

• Use the “Clone Variant” if you want a virtual copy with identical adjustments
(Shortcut Mac: F3/Win: F8).

• You can promote a Variant to be the first Variant by right clicking and selecting “Promote Variant”.

• Stack the Variants by clicking the Variants Icon on the first Variant. Now only the first Variant will be visible.
