Magic Brush
The new Magic Brush makes brushing areas of similar color fast and simple. Simply draw a line or a doodle on the area you wish the mask to cover and Capture One will fill the area automatically.
The Magic Brush can be found in the Layers Tool or in the Cursor Tools menu. By default, the Magic Brush shares the same keyboard shortcut as the Adjustment Brush, B. To toggle between the brushes, hold down Shift while pressing B.
When applying brush strokes with the Magic Brush on an image, Capture One will automatically find and fill the area of similar pixels. This enables a fast way of masking areas and objects of similar color, including greyscale. The Magic Brush works additively, allowing you to continue making brush strokes on the same Layer to create the mask you need.
Access the settings of the Magic Brush by right-clicking with the brush on your image. The following parameters are available:
Size determines the size of the brush.
Opacity determines the opacity of the mask created by the Magic Brush.
Tolerance determines the range of colors the mask will cover. A low Tolerance value will restrict the mask to similar colors, while a high Tolerance value will pick up a wider range of colors when creating the mask.
Refine Edge determines how the edge of the created mask will blend in with the surroundings. A low value will result in a hard, defined edge, while a higher value will create a mask with a softer, more content-aware edge.
Sample Entire Photo determines if the mask will be restricted by edges. If enabled, the mask will cover all areas of the color that is being brushed on, regardless of whether the areas are connected (continuous) or not.
