Using Style Guide as an Overlay in Capture One

Style Guides can be used as Overlays in Capture One. To activate this feature follow the steps below: 

1. From the Admin menu of ShotFlow Capture, choose "Set C1 Overlay to Style Guide"
2. Connect a Shot in ShotFlow Capture. 
3. Notice the Overlay appears in Capture One. 

Determining Which Style Guide is used as the Overlay in Capture One Pro

In Capture One Pro, you can use Style Guides as overlays. If multiple Style Guides are related to a record, only the first Style Guide (the one that appears first in the Style Guide window of ShotFlow capture) can be used.

Determining the First Style Guide

When a Style Guide is related to multiple records that also have relationships with each other, ShotFlow determines the "first" Style Guide based on the following hierarchy:

1. Shot -> Style Guide
2. Shot -> Grouping -> Style Guide
3. Shot -> Grouping -> Product Child -> Product Parent -> Style Guide
4. Shot -> Product Child -> Product Parent -> Style Guide

If there is no Style Guide attached to the shot, ShotFlow will look to the Grouping, and if there isn't a Grouping, it will look to the Product Child.

Handling Multiple Style Guides

Currently, if more than one Style Guide is related to a single record (e.g., two Style Guides related to a shot), there is no default logic to determine which one appears first. The relationship isn’t ordered by default, so the "first" Style Guide may be randomly determined.

To specify the order of Style Guides, you can set a Sort parameter for the "Style Guides" in the relationship. For example, if multiple Style Guides are related to multiple shots, you can request a configuration change to set the Sort parameter. This will ensure that the order of the Style Guides in the related panel is respected, making the first Style Guide shown in the panel the first Style Guide displayed in the capture panel, and thus used as the overlay in Capture One Pro.

To request this configuration change, please open a support ticket. This adjustment will also allow the Sort parameter to determine which Product Parent or Grouping should be shown first.
