Auto-Advance "Hack" In Capture One

Capture One, like Lightroom, is a RAW editing powerhouse. One area where it also shines is proofing/culling.

Capture One makes your image selection process effortless. The "Focus Mask" feature is especially useful, highlighting the sharpest parts of your image without the need for zooming in. As you can see below, there is no need to zoom in and check for sharpness in the eyes.

Those who have moved from Lightroom to Capture One might miss the "auto advance" feature in Lightroom. This feature allowed one to quickly make image selections using only the number keys to rate photos. Once an image was rated, the next one would be selected. Capture One doesn't have this feature, but there is a simple way of achieving the same thing:
Simply use the "none" filter on your rating palette, and every time an image is rated, it will disappear from the current selection and the next in line will be selected and ready for rating.
