01 — Capture fires
Hook exports a 640px preview the instant the shot lands
Capture One tether automation
Your tethered sessions, pre-culled.
C1 Tether Intelligence auto-rates every capture the moment it lands in Capture One. Sharp and well-exposed gets 5 stars. Soft or blown gets 1. You review selects - not everything.
