By on August 12, 2017 in - Last Update: August 12, 2017 If your Firefox browser updated to version 55.0 recently, you may have noticed the new 'Page Shot' icon in the browser's toolbar. This icon powers the native screenshot capturing functionality of Firefox. It is being rolled out to users gradually which means that you may not see the icon yet in the browser's toolbar. This does not mean however that is not already available, as you may enable it in the browser to make use of it. Firefox users who see it already but have no use for it may disable it on the other hand. This Firefox guide provides you with instructions on enabling and disabling the screenshot tool in the Firefox web browser. Note: You need at least Firefox 55.

You can check the version of the browser by loading about:support in the browser's address bar. Version under application basics lists the version of the Firefox web browser. All you need to do is click on the icon to activate the functionality. The screenshot tool supports capturing a region, the visible part of a web page, or the entire (full) page. You may save the screenshots to the local system or have it uploaded to for easier online sharing. Mozilla keeps the screenshots online for two weeks by default, but users may delete the screenshots at any time before that, or change the expiration date to extend it.

Enable or disable Firefox screenshot tool Mozilla added two preferences to the Firefox configuration that control the screenshot tool of the browser. To get there, load about:config?filter=extensions.screenshot in the browser's address bar. The page that opens lists the two preferences that control Firefox's screenshot tool functionality. • extensions.screenshots.disabled -- This is the main preference. A value of false means that the screenshot functionality is enabled, a value of true that it is disabled. Note that this is superseded by extensions.screenshots.system-disabled • extensions.screenshots.system-disabled -- Mozilla uses this preference to control the roll out of the screenshot functionality.

DT Capture One Style Pack. Are you interested in Styles for Capture One then this set is worth your consideration. Download and run a trial for 30 days.

If set to true, screenshot functionality is disabled regardless of what extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to. If set to false, screenshot functionality is enabled, if extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to false. • To disable the screenshot functionality in Firefox, set extensions.screenshots.disabled to true. • To enable the screenshot functionality in Firefox, set extensions.screenshots.system-disabled to false and extensions.screenshots.disabled to false as well. You modify a preference with a double-click on the preference name. Note that you can if you disable the Screenshot tool. Another option that you have is to simply remove the Firefox screenshot tool from the browser's address bar.

To do that right-click on the icon and select remove from toolbar from the context menu that opens up. I had removed the 'Super Drag' Firedox add-on to replace it with the new 'Glitter Drag' Webextension. I later on realized I preferred 'Super Drag' and tried to download it from AMO. Impossible because 'incompatible' with my FF version (52 ESR): 'Works with Firefox 22.0 - 43.* '. When in fact it still runs fine. I had to change my Firefox User-Agent string to meet the 22-43 requirement.

So much zeal from Mozilla is fascinating. I'm bound to download all my legacy add-ons while they're still available on AMO, with or without modifying my User-Agent. @Richard, how or what add-on gives you the dark mosaic background with white text on this web site as seen in your screenshots? Btw, thanks again for your reply on Vivaldi! Regarding the article, why would we want to disable the screenshot feature, is there any underlying implication I am missing here, security, privacy?

And what does the pref 'extensions.screenshots.system-disabled' actually imply, can this new functionality take a screenshot beyond the browser window, thinking of the whole OS desktop, i.e. The parallel between the word 'system' and Operating System. Dark background? That can be done with a couple different extensions that use userstyle.css files that are installed into those extensions.

Originally done using Stylish which is a Legacy addon and now with Stylus which is the WebExtension equivalent to Stylish, almost. A webextension can not change the FF 'about' pages like preferences or bookmarks, as far as I know, which is why I'm still using Stylish in FF and Pale Moon and using Stylus (WebExt) in FF Nightly and Chromium browsers. Sometimes a 'style' will be offered as a userscript which can be installed into either Greasemonkey (Legacy addon) or Tampermonkey (WebExt).

I would suggest using 'Stylus' especially if you use FF based browsers and Chromium based browsers at the same time. You can set one up, make a backup and then import it into a different browser.

Transitioning from Stylish to Stylus is a major pain, in my experience. Making sense so far? For Firefox the addon is - Stylus (Beta) 1.1.3.1 For gHacks I'm using but I've changed some of the colors for different elements.

Most of the userstyles that I use I've modified some colors. The userstyle is installed in either Stylish or Stylus depending on which browser. 'screenshot feature, is there any underlying implication I am missing here, security, privacy?' The only thing I can think of is Mozilla will know who and where the screenshot came from, if you save it. I don't think it's a big deal but others might. I use the print screen key or the snipping tool or if I want to capture the mouse cursor I use a portable app called Greenshot.

I'm only using the FF Screenshot tool temporarily to see what's what, I'll probably disable it soon because I have what I consider better options. If it works for you use it. I don't use any of the system addons but I do use and like the Reader function. JMO The FF Screenshot tool can not take an image of anything other than the webpage itself. Will not include any of the FF UI, about pages or desktop.

At least that is what I'm seeing in FF and in Nightly. These screenshots taken using Greenshot because I already had it open.;) By the way, I rarely have to click on any image links, anywhere, using any browser, because of Mouseover Popup Image Viewer userscript which is installed in Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey. Even works on Tweeter and Instagram images and Instagram vids. It's the best invention by mankind since the bikini!!!

Extensions.screenshots.disabled -- This is the main preference. A value of false means that the screenshot functionality is enabled, a value of true that it is disabled.

Note that this is superseded by extensions.screenshots.system-disabled extensions.screenshots.system-disabled -- Mozilla uses this preference to control the roll out of the screenshot functionality. If set to true, screenshot functionality is disabled regardless of what extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to. If set to false, screenshot functionality is enabled, if extensions.screenshots.disabled is set to false. ***** Nice way to thoroughly confuse all users beneath the programmer level. Two preferences instead of one -- and dependencies between them impossible to comprehend unless you have a phd.

It seems Mozilla really wants to siphon off your data.

The way of installing the styles depends on the version of Capture One you’re using. In Capture One 10.1 Styles tool was completely rebuilt to make user experience with styles faster and easier. Here is and we highly recommend you to upgrade your Capture One to 10.1 or newer.

Our styles work well with older versions of Capture One; you’ll find an installation guide for them in the second part of this article. Capture One 10.1 or newer Everything is really simple here: Double-click on “Install styles” file or import the file using Capture One “Import Styles” option.

Once you have done this, all the available styles would appear in your User Styles menu sorted in folders. If you wish to import some specific styles manually, you’ll find them in the folder near the installation file. Capture One 10 or older There are two ways to install styles in Capture One version 10 or older. Import styles – the easiest and fastest method, but you would not be able to use a sub-folder structure for styles. Copy styles to a folder with Capture One’s settings – the advanced way that allows you to use a sub-folder feature. Import styles The easiest way to set styles is to use the Import Styles option that is available in the Styles and Presets tool: All you need to do is to choose the Import option, select all the styles you wish to install and click import.

Once you have done this, all the available styles would appear in your User Styles menu: The main disadvantage of this method is that any styles you import cannot be assembled into folders, which would not be particularly convenient, especially if you plan to work with many styles. If you’re going to make use of many different styles, you should consider using the second method of installing styles, as this will allow you to create different folders for the styles you use. Copy styles in a folder with Capture One’s settings Styles can be copied directly into Capture One’s folder, where all the application data is stored.

This method allows you to create different folders for your style sets. Capture One’s settings folder is located in different places on Mac OS and Windows, so you will need to follow separate instructions according to the operating system you are using. Instructions for Mac OS In Mac, the OS styles folder can be found in the following location: User >Library >Application Support >Capture One >Styles Note: in most cases, the system folders are hidden by default, and you need to make them visible in order to work with them. The easiest way to get to this folder: Open Spotlight and paste this text: ~/Library/Application Support/Capture One/Styles The second way: 1) Go to the Finder (or desktop). 2) Hold the Option key on your keyboard, and click the Go menu at the top of the screen. 3) With the Go menu open, you’ll notice that pressing and releasing Option key will display or hide the Library choice in this menu. 4) Select Library from the Go menu (while holding down Option) to access the hidden folder.

5) In the hidden Library folder, go to Application Support >Capture One >Styles If there is no Styles folder – that’s fine, just create a new one manually. Once you have navigated to the Styles folder, you can copy the styles themselves or create a new folder and copy the styles to that location. Styles will appear in Capture One only after you have restarted the program. Instructions for Windows In Windows, the OS styles folder can be found in the following location: X: Users username AppData Local CaptureOne Styles50 The easiest way to get to this folder is to click Win Button + R and paste this text (with your HDD name and username): C: Users [User_Name] AppData Local CaptureOne Styles50 Once you have navigated to the Styles folder, you can copy the styles themselves or create a new folder and copy the styles to that location. Styles will appear in Capture One only after you have restarted the program. Note: in most cases, the system folders are hidden by default, and you need to make them visible in order to work with them. Stack Styles Tool Stack Styles allows you to apply different styles on the same image.

Some styles may use the same adjustments. In this case Capture One would use adjustments from the style applied last.

How to Install Presets Presets folder is located near the Styles folder in Capture One’s settings folder. For Mac User/Library/Application Support/Capture One/Presets60/Film Grain For Windows C: Users AppData Local CaptureOne Presets60 Film Grain.

I like the sample styles, but one major problem for me is that there is no “percentage of effect” option, it’s take it all or leave it. Lightroom presets also have this problem.

Fact is, when there is a style I like, 99% of the time I would want to reduce the amount of it according to the image needs. The only possibility to do so is to make a copy of the image, apply the style to it and then export both the copy and the original and mix them in Photoshop. Too cumbersome for large volume editing. Just downloaded and installed the Styles. But the instructions for organising them into folders doesn’t seem to apply to my Mac. When in the Library/Application Support/CaptureOne folder, I have only a Presets folder, no Styles folder. Also, the information about importing directly being the easiest, the part where it says that it doesn’t import the folder organisation comes afterwards.

As I was following the instructions, i imported everyting sucessfully but nothing is now split into the B&W and Color folder. How can I rearrange this? Its seems to be hidden. When I use the folder browser in CO, I can see lots of folders including the Styles folder. I pulled in the 2 downloaded folders (color and B&W) they ahve appeared but the whole Styles and Presets tool on Capture One has now gone grey and none of the presets can be used! What have I done.

I have restarted the software and the computer. Removed the downloaded folder from the styles folde and tried to reture everything to before. Now its like something is disabled. I am on Yosemite 10.10.4 and Capture oNe 8 •. Hi, there is one problem with this way – after each Capture One update you’ll have to reinstall the styles.

Try this method to access the hidden Library folder: 1) Go to the Finder (or desktop). 2) Hold the Option key on your keyboard, and click the Go menu at the top of the screen. 3) With the Go menu open, you’ll notice that pressing and releasing Option will display or hide the Library choice in this menu.

4) Select Library from the Go menu (while holding down Option) to access the hidden folder. Keith, «Extended Set» isn’t an upgrade or replacement of our Original Set, it’s a completely new set of styles and doesn’t include styles from Original Set. Extended and Original sets are quite different. Extended Set styles are more about “artistic” emulation of film picture, Original Set provides a “classical” film look. For many styles difference is serious, the Extended set works “harder” in general, it affects image more noticeable than Original Set.

Some of our customers prefer Original Set, some Extended Set and many of them like the both sets 🙂 We have a social share discount – if you choose to share the link to our products on your Facebook or Twitter pages, you’ll get a 10% discount (on each set). Just click Buy Now button on the product page and you will see all the instructions about this. Yeah, now you’re just lieing through your teeth. Capture One Pro 9 has a new module like the 3-way Color Corrector.

You do not use these in your styles why? Also, any one can use a color checker take a picture of it (in a controlled light setting) with film scan it and emulate film with Capture one, it really is not hard.

There’s Other Style like the new DT Capture One Styles that take full benefit of the new technology in Capture One. I am actually creating new styles as well. You need to upgrade you styles. Well, I think only Phase One may answer this question 🙂 What I can tell for sure is that there are quite interesting technical differences between our styles and Phase One Styles. When we were developing our styles we’ve decided to follow two technical rules: 1) Use fundamental tools only. Most of our styles are built with Curves, Color Editor and B&W. Only a few styles use Color Balance and Film Grain, and none of them use Clarity or any other tools.

That’s why you can easily add some correction after the style is applied. It also allows us to deliver free updates for our customers for each new Capture One release because fundamental tools are not affected by Capture One engine updates. 2) Use advanced adjustments.

Most of our color styles use Red, Green and Blue channels curves instead of Color Balance. Color Balance is a great user-friendly tool, but it would never have such a complex and deep impact on color. It’s also almost impossible to manually replicate our styles; we’ve used special technical tricks to achieve these results, and it would take hundreds of hours to design such styles manually in Capture One. That’s why for me it was quite surprising to see that Phase One styles massively use Color Balance without R-G-B channels corrections and applies Clarity. Thank you for the great presets and styles. I have one question: the colour output depends on the LCC profile (e.g., if the LCC profile is Adobe DNG, the output is very different from when its say Fujifilm). I imagine the preset/style adjustments are the same, but depending on what make of camera is used to take the photos and the LCC profile applied, the colour output will look very different.

When you were putting these together, to get them close to the original film types, should we choose a specific LCC profile to at least get it as close as possible to the film effect or the style that you had in mind? Hi Alexander.

I bought the original Styles earlier this year, then upgraded to Capture One 11 yesterday and purchased the Film Styles – Layer Enhanced editions for it. I installed them via Styles and Presets >Import. They all appear as expected, and work as expected ONLY when I apply them to photos the traditional way. The style will NOT apply via layers. I am created a new adjustment layer, right clicking it, selecting Apply Settings From, then User Styles, then selecting the style and the images do not change.

I have confirmed the Opacity is at 100%. I have confirmed this problem with many RAF files.

I have also restarted C1 several times, and even uninstalled all my users styles, and only install these newer Layer Enhanced editions – they will not work with layers though. Please help – I’m just spent $160 between Capture One 11 and these upgraded Styles, and I can’t get the benefits. Hi Alexander, I’ve bought the standard pack. It is functionnal and installs flawlessly. IMO, your pack is a better option than PO’s film styles pack (which completely undocumented and only come with numbers). 1) I have a question about usage: I guess that accuracy has been one of your concern by creating these packs. So as to get more accurate results, wuld you recommend to start with a basic curve set as linear, standard or auto?

2) Another (more) general question: when aiming at using 1styles for very quick casual raw conversions, and using at least auto exposure, what’s your experience about using as well auto contrast&brightness, auto hdr and auto level? For best immediate results, what would you recommend? Hi Tokumeino!

Thank you for your feedback! 1) Originally styles were developed for the Standard curve, but you can use Auto curve as well – there is no difference between them in Capture One, yet. Auto curve simply represents the newest version of the Standard curve (if there are different Standard curves available for your camera model). I suppose Phase One might change this in the future updates, but today it works this way. At the same time, some of our customers noticed, that our styles work pretty interesting with Linear Curve.

We’re not promoting this as a feature because you would get a different picture and it would not fit well with some images. But you can try to use styles with Linear curve as well to find a new interesting look for your images. 2) The only tool which I use in Auto mode is Levels. Its autocorrection is totally controlled, and you can easily predict the result. I recommend to use auto Levels before style is applied.

The point is that Levels might dramatically change the image and previously applied style might not look well anymore. Our styles are not using Levels, that’s why they would not interrupt the result of auto Levels. Talking about all the other auto-tools: the general rule is to apply style after the auto-correction for the same reason as with Levels. But I don’t think that there is much sense to mix styles and auto-corrections. Sometimes it might work well, but you would never predict the result and would spend time fixing the wrong corrections.

• Pros Best detail in initial raw file conversion. Pleasing interface. Good photo-adjustment toolset. Keyword tagging tool. • Cons Some usability quirks. No online-sharing features. No face recognition.

• Bottom Line Phase One Capture One offers pro and prosumer digital photographers the best detail from raw camera files, but it trails some competitors in organization, output, and enhancement tools. From Phase One, the maker of top-end professional photography hardware like the remarkable 100-megapixel, comes Capture One Pro 9, that offers digital photo import tools, raw camera file conversion, image adjustment, and some organizational features. Also featured are tethered shooting, a live monitor view, and focus tools. Version 9 adds new keyword capabilities, DNG support, and a few more local editing tools. Capture One is all about the photography and just the photography: There's no face recognition, maps, Web sharing, or book printing here.

It competes with the Editors' Choice winner Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, DXO Optics Pro, and others in the prosumer photo workflow space. Getting the Software and Getting Started You can either buy the software outright for $299 or subscribe for $15 per month.

That's a bit steep, when you consider that you can get and Photoshop for a $9.99-per-month subscription. You get three Capture One licenses for your money, up from two in past editions and more than Adobe's two-computer maximum. Upgrading from a previous version costs $99. A free, reduced-feature Express edition of Capture One is available to owners of certain Sony camera models, who can upgrade to Pro for $50.

A free, fully functioning 30-day trial version lets you test the software. Capture One Pro is available for OS X (10.10.5 or later) and Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 10, and both require a machine with least a Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB RAM, and 10GB of free disk space. The software installer is a not-unreasonable 167MB, which is quite a bit smaller than Lightroom's roughly 1GB.

It's a 64-bit application—handy for when you have many large image files open at once. One complaint I have with the installation process is that it forces you to install its own version of the.NET Framework, and another is that it requires a reboot. I had to upgrade my image catalog on first run, but doing so was quick. Interface and Import Capture One's interface hasn't changed much from version 8, and it remains easy on the eyes. The very dark (adjustable) gray window features two large buttons for importing and tethered capture. Unlike Lightroom's interface, Capture One's is not modal. That is, it doesn't present different workspaces for different functions, such as organizing, editing, or output.

Instead, you do everything in the one interface. The left panel can be switched among 12 views based on what you're doing at the moment—Library, Capture, Color, Exposure, Lens, Composition (cropping), Details, Local Adjustments, Adjustments (including presets), Metadata, Output, and Batch.

You can remove any view you don't use frequently. Along the top, buttons switch you among Select, Pan, Loupe, Crop, Straighten, Keystone, Spot Removal, Draw Mask, White-Balance, and Apply Adjustments cursors. Just as in Photoshop, rick-clicking these buttons opens a drop-down of more cursor choices, including Zoom and Pan. The Apply Adjustments cursor lets you copy and paste adjustments between images.

The program offers good right-click menu options, and keyboard shortcuts (for example, C for crop, Ctrl-T to hide or show the Tools menu, and number keys for ratings). You can even create your own shortcuts for any of the program's menu options. Undo and Reset buttons are helpfully always at the ready to correct editing goofs. And question-mark icons in every tool take you to the appropriate help entry—very helpful indeed.

A simple roll of the mouse wheel quickly zooms your photo. Like Lightroom, Capture One can't zoom to a specific percentage. Instead, it stops at set amounts, such as 25 percent, 50 percent, and so on. There's no indication whether the photo you're viewing has been fully rendered.

In my testing, photos rendered faster than in Lightroom, which does, however, indicate when the photo is completely rendered. There's a full-screen view in Capture One that shows both the side panel and your image, but this is far less useful than Lightroom's true full screen view. As an alternative to the large Import button, you can set Capture One as your default AutoPlay option when plugging in camera media. The import dialog is powerful. It lets you choose the source and destination, simultaneous backup, file renaming, and copyright metadata. It can even apply adjustment styles and presets such as Landscape B&W, midtone boost curve adjustment, or sharpening. Autocorrect is also a useful import option.

You can zoom the preview thumbnails, view single images, and choose which images to import, but you can't rate or tag them before import, unfortunately. Like Lightroom, Capture One stores information (including any edits) for your imported photos in databases called catalogs. The actual image files can be stored in a different folder location from the catalog, or right inside it. Keeping them separate means you can have the large image files on a separate NAS drive, for example. Unlike Adobe's app, Capture One lets you have multiple catalogs open simultaneously. The default is to open the catalog you're importing to as soon as the import starts. A double progress bar shows both overall import and current file-operation progress.

Importing takes longer than with most of the competition, since the program builds previews for all the images. You can, however, start working on photos without the whole import finishing, which is handy. Most raw camera files I tested in the program look noticeably better than the unadjusted Lightroom and ACDSee equivalents, and even better than in the excellent. Capture One now supports DNG images created by Adobe programs, treating them as original raw files. Even with these, I saw more detail in Capture One than in the Lightroom conversion. You can switch the Curve for rendering among Auto, Film Extra Shadow, Film High Contrast, Film Standard, and Linear Response.

The first few modes are more saturated, and the last two give the most detail. Unfortunately, as of this writing, the program doesn't yet support the import of photo files from the new, which Lightroom digested without a hiccup. Below is an example showing Capture One at top left, Lightroom top right, DxO lower right, and ACDSee lower left. Click on it for a full-size view, and you'll see that the stitch work in the hat is most detailed in the Capture One image: As its name suggests, tethered capture is a strong point for Capture One—it offers more than just about any competitor, with its live-view Sessions feature. There's also an iPad app, Capture Pilot, that lets you show, rate, and capture photos using Apple's tablet as a remote. Organizing Photos Capture One lets you add star ratings via thumbnails across the bottom of the interface screen and at the lower-right corner of the main photo view.

There aren't simple Pick or Reject buttons for people with less-granular processes. There are, however, color labels, for those who organize that way. A new Keyword tool accessible from the Metadata tab lets you add keywords to build a Library. The next time you start typing in the text box, any matching entry in the library is suggested. You can even import or export keyword libraries and add hierarchical keywords.

The program doesn't, however, offer you a prepopulated keyword library. I still prefer the treatment of keywords in Lightroom, however, which offers exhaustive help and presets for organizing your photos in this most useful way. You can create your own albums (including smart albums based on ratings, color codes, or search criteria), projects, or groups (which can include any combination of the above). But forget about integrated geo-tagged maps or people tags, such as you get in Lightroom. The program offers good search options by date, filename, rating, and keyword. One helpful organizational tool in Capture One is called Variants.

Similar to Lightroom's Snapshots feature, Variants let you create multiple copies of a photo with different adjustments and edits. Variants are the only way to get a before-and-after view of your adjustments, and even that method doesn't work as well as Lightroom and DxO's side-by-side views. Adjusting Photos Organization may not be Capture One's forte, but in its selection of standard adjustment tools—exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, white balance, and so on—Capture One is up there with the best. The program offers an adjustable histogram, white balance, exposure, HDR, and clarity. The last now offers a few modes of its own, with Punch, Natural, and Neutral being more effective than Classic mode, which just seems to sharpen images. A couple of Lightroom tools I miss in Capture One are Vibrance and Dehaze.

With these tools, I can usually get a better-looking end result using Lightroom, even though Capture One gets more detail at initial raw conversion. A big A button above the side-panel buttons makes the appropriate autocorrect adjustments for the currrent window. You can undo the autocorrect changes of any given setting (exposure, white balance, and so on) individually, without undoing the others. The program's High Dynamic Range section offers just two sliders, for highlights and shadows. Their purpose is not to deliver special effects, but rather to perfect an image, and for that they're useful. By comparison, can create HDR images with much more impact.

The Levels and Curves tools in the Exposure panel are far more useful for making vivid images. But Capture One is all about image fidelity—though there are Styles that apply color and Black and White effects, as well as a Film Grain tool. You do get a noise-reduction option in Capture One, but Lightroom's similar feature is more effective in reducing noise, and it maintains more of the original photo's detail in a low-light shot. DxO Optic Pro offers the ultimate in noise reduction, however, with its time-consuming Prime tool. I still find cropping in Capture One a little strange: You can't just hit Enter after selecting the rectangle you want; the crop only takes effect after you switch to another cursor. It's not a horrible process, just a bit unusual. The crop tool does helpfully show you each side's dimensions in inches or pixels, however.

The straighten tool has you draw a line that will become the horizon, or you can manually tilt your photo while using the Composition panel's Rotation tool. Color management is a special strength in Capture One. You can adjust color ranges or individual colors, and you can also fine-tune skin tones in particular using a color picker. Business Winstone 2004. Other skin helpers are the Clone and Heal tools, which do a very good job of blemish removal. They work just about the way Photoshop's similar tools have for years, but Adobe's content-aware tools are more effective. A new Mask From Color option in Capture One lets you create adjustment layers based on color-selected areas for local adjustments.

Output of Photos in Capture One Formerly, Capture One had no printing engine at all, but the present version includes a capable printing feature. It lets you select a color profile and offers standard layouts such as contact sheets and A3/A4 formats. You can customize layouts with your choice of column and row counts and spacing, and text and image watermarking are options.

Missing is the ability to save your own custom layout templates, however. The View menu offers a good number of Proof Profiles to show how your image will look on a selection of displays and print output types, but it doesn't highlight nonprinting colors the way Lightroom's Soft Proofing feature does. One weakness in Capture One's usefulness as a workflow solution is its lack of online sharing capabilities. There's a Make Web Contact Sheet choice that creates HTML for a Web server, but aside from that the software basically leaves you to your own devices, with no Web- or email-sharing features.

There's no built-in export to popular services like Flickr, 500px, or SmugMug, nor is there any integrated book layout and export tool such as you get in Lightroom.
