Styles
Styles are Capture One's presets: a saved set of settings you apply to your photo in one click. They handle colour, contrast and tone at once, giving you a consistent starting point for a whole series. From there you can keep fine-tuning everything.
Once you've found a look that works, save it as a Style and apply it just as easily to a hundred other photos. You can stack several Styles to combine effects, and by placing a Style on its own layer you control exactly how strongly it acts via opacity. Unlike a one-off adjustment, a Style stays reusable. Tip: build your look from separate Styles for colour and contrast so you can blend them independently later.

The presets on this site set these adjustments up for you as a starting point, which you then fine-tune to taste.
