Straightening

How to straighten an image

Nothing is more irritating than an image where the horizon is just a few degrees away from horizontal

or a vertical building that is crooked. Capture One was the ﬁrst RAW workﬂow software to allow

rotation. Capture One 5 now offers an even more sophisticated straightening tool.

Select the Rotation/Straighten button in the cursor tool palette or in the composition tool and drag

along a straight edge that should be vertical or horizontal. Fine tune the straightening or rotating by

mouse scroll over the slider, changing the degree of rotation by 0.1 at the time if carefully scrolled.

When to crop an image that requires straightening

It is easier to rotate the image ﬁrst, as the software automatically crops the rotated image to the

maximum usable dimensions. Following this, the crop can be ﬁne tuned by the user, perhaps to ﬁt to

a speciﬁc aspect ratio such as 6x4 inches/10x15cm.

Applying straighten or crop settings to a group of images

Straighten the image as required, optimize the crop and then copy the settings using the Copy/Apply

buttons on the menu bar.

Select the next image/group of images that you want to apply the same settings to and click the

Apply button. To apply to a group of images, ﬁrst copy adjustments, edit the copied adjustments in

Adjustments Clipboard Tab then select the image ﬁles you wish to apply the crop and identical crop

and rotations will be applied to all images.

To enhance the functionality of the copy and paste settings, it is possible to select which of the

settings are pasted – see the Settings chapter for a full explanation of this feature.
