Capture One offers Smart Adjustments, an AI tool that automatically matches the exposure and white balance of a batch of photos to a single photographer-selected reference image, reducing the need to edit each image individually.
Details
Introduced in Capture One Pro 23 (version 16.0, November 2022), Smart Adjustments takes a user-selected reference image with a preferred look as input and applies calculated exposure and white balance corrections to a batch of other images. The AI analyzes facial content in each image to make more accurate per-image corrections. Results can be saved as 'Smart Styles' for repeated one-click application. Subsequent versions improved consistency, particularly for portrait and event photography.
