    When I import raw files from an SD card do they go into a sub folder inside the Capture folder for that session? For example, if I create a Session called October 2024 it has a Capture folder. Is that where I would put sub folders containing each set of raw files I do that I want in the October 2024 Session?

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 10 днів тому

      Typically the images you import into the capture folder will be images alone and not folders. This makes them visible when you click the "Capture Folder" section in the Session. You certainly can create folders within the Capture Folder, subsequently accessing them through favorites. However, I prefer to put these subfolders NEXT to the Capture, Selects, and Output folders. Works better for my brain, but to each their own. As long as you know where the images are and can easily access them within C1, you're good!

    Thanks for the great video! I've been trying to move away from Lightroom to Capture One for awhile but it's hard to learn new software as I'm so tuned to LR and don't have the patience / enthusiasm like I did many years ago. Anyway, on a super basic level, is my summary comparing to LR right? - Folders in C1 are like folders in LR. - User Collection/catalogs in C1 are like Collections in LR I used to use Folders a lot in LR, and would only put my best images in collections. It sounds like you are suggesting working within catalogs almost exclusively? Isn't that just creating a duplicate filing system? Also, I understood the hierarchy for Groups, Projects, and Albums. But isn't that just a three tier folder/album structure? What's the purpose of giving them different names, why can't they just be called Albums for example and you can nest them, make smart albums etc just like you showed? I hope you able to reply. I'm not sure why I'm struggling with this move from Lightroom so much lol. I did finally buy C1 Pro (had been testing the free Fuji version for months) so I'm now all in and must learn it. Thanks!

    Hey Zac how about using one catalogue between my Mac desktop and my windows laptop is this possible ?

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 3 місяці тому

      Hello! Yes, this is possible. Ideally you would store the catalog on a NAS drive. You'll need to ensure the catalog is closed on one machine before opening it on the other, as you won't be able to use them at the same time. You may run into issues with images appearing offline in a referenced catalog that require re-connection. It's not an ideal scenario, but from some quick research it does appear that some users have found a way to make this work.

      Projects are virtual organizational tools found in catalogs. When importing a session into a catalog, C1 will place all of the relevant session files into a project, so that the session, now within the catalog, is contained in one place and can be searched within without having to search through the entire catalog (See my catalog video for more).

I hope you have an Idea on how I can merge the two Catalogs or none at all🤣 maybe i am screwed.

      Thanks for the question! No worries- you're not screwed :-). Just go into your master catalog and select File -> Import Catalog -> Capture One Catalog. C1 will open a browser window which you'll use to navigate to the catalog database file (the file that, when double clicked, opens the catalog in question), and then click "import". This process is very similar to how importing sessions into a catalog works. Hope this helps!

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 4 місяці тому

      Not to worry! In the Library tool tab you'll see a section that says "folders". Click the "+" button next to "folders" and Capture One will bring up a browser window. Here, you can make as many new folders as necessary on whatever hard drive you'd like the photos to actually be placed. Each new folder you make will appear in Capture One's "Folders" section underneath "In Catalog". Once you have all the folders that you need, simply navigate to the images in Capture One that you want to move outside of the catalog and drag them over to the new folder that you've created. C1 will remind you that you're moving files around on the hard drive, which you'll say "ok" to. Just do this as many times as needed. There are other ways to do this, but I'd say this is the most straightforward, and doesn't require exporting and then re-importing images into C1. Hope this helps!

    I have both Adobe Lightroom classic and capture One. Are used capture One in my flash photography in my studio because it's tethering is clearly superior to Adobe Lightroom classic. The complaint however offered by many regarding capture One is that it is overly complex. It is a great program but just watching your video demonstrates my point regarding complexity. Quite frankly this design is extremely cumbersome and laborious. Sure once set up it probably would be much better but it is again a disappointment in how complicated capture one seems to make everything even the simple task of saving images to a folder.

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 5 місяців тому

      Glad you find them useful! Like you said, it’s all about preference and your desired workflow. A Catalog’s primary strength is searching for individual images within a vast library, and perhaps over a variety of different hard drives. If you’re keywording a lot and prefer to search for individual images based off of metadata, catalogs can be a great asset. If sessions are working for you, or if your images are clearly defined by the individual shoot they were a part of, then the benefit of catalogs may be minimal and you may best be served by continuing to use sessions.

    Maybe a stupid question but in a workflow where i delete images from my user collection in catalog it is replaced to the trash. If i look to the original source the image is still there and i can still open and edit it in capture one. Is there a way to sync these 2 folders so that also if i delete a image permanently via user collection it gets also removed in my original source (let's say external hard drive)

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 4 місяці тому

      Not a stupid question at all! You are correct, when you "delete" a photo while in a catalog C1 will send the photo to the catalog trash. If you navigate to the catalog trash folder, found in the library tool tab, you have the ability to select some or all of the images in the trash, right click, and select "delete from disk". This will remove the original file from the hard drive that Capture One is using to view the image. Hope this helps!

    Im kind of confuse. So I don't really need to use Sessions if I never tether? I feel like I like it better how I use Lightroom. a single catalog that houses 60,000 photos and I have collection sets and collections and smart collections to organize all those files. Also I don't do photoshoots for clients. I do landscape photography for my self. So I don't feel I have the need to separate the catalog in to smaller catalogs

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 7 місяців тому

      Sessions are great for dynamically managing files- meaning they can be easily moved around and organized into folders. This is a great strength for tethered shooting scenarios. Sessions are also great for browsing other files that aren't already inside a session or catalog. If you don't need that kind of functionality, then catalogs are definitely the way to go. The choice between Lightroom and Capture One comes down to what you're currently using, your preference for whichever raw processor you find most appealing, and other tools in the software :-)

    Thanks very much for this really helpful explanation. Early in the video you make the good point that you shouldn't import all your images into a catalog long-term since it will balloon in size and become cumbersome. Unfortunately I've been doing this for a couple of years and you're totally right. Do you know of a way to convert a big catalog with images imported into the format you describe: RAWs on disk somewhere and only adjustments stored in the catalog? E.g. do you know if I can export all the RAWs somehow and only save the adjustments to a new catalog? Thanks for your help!

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 8 місяців тому

      Hi Ashton, completely understand. It's an easy thing to let happen. I'd avoid sending your entire library out at the same time, as it will be quite a lot of data and will take some time. I suggest moving chunks of images instead. My recommendation would be to use Capture One's "Export Originals" tool. File-> Export->Export Originals. In the following window you may check "pack as EIP". This will package the raw file in what is effectively a .zip file along with additional files capture one can use to understand what edits have been made to the image. Once all of your files are exported and organized to your liking, you can create a new catalog and import all of you recently exported images into it while keeping them in their existing location. Hope this helps!

In a catalog, Capture One stores the edits in the Catalog database file itself, (the same database that, when clicked on, will open the catalog in capture one) This does away with sidecar files. In a session based workflow, the edits are stored in files inside of a folder named "Capture One" which exist in the same folder as the originating raw files. Hope this helps!

I did have one question; if I leverage my local disk for WIP sessions but use an external disk (slower) for final and archiving, is it best to relocate the session filles before importing the session into a catalog, or does make sense to move it once in the catalog? Perhaps, there is even a better workflow?

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 8 місяців тому

      Great question! Ideally, the Session should be in its final resting place before importing it into the catalog. It makes sense to use your faster internal drive for working in sessions while on location, especially since the sessions require access to raw files at all times. Once the session's heavy lifting is completed and its ready to be imported into a catalog, the session can be stored on an external drive and imported into a catalog which lives on your local drive. This way you get the benefit of your catalog employing your fast internal ssd while leveraging the larger size of your external drives for storing sessions and large raw files. Hope this helps!

I have a question while using it : While I manage the photos in the catalog-libriary-folders, I delete and move photos, It works smoothly . But after I delete all the photos in the fold, there is no point to keep the FOLDER, I just want to delete the folder forever. I want the folder structure tidy rather than tons of empty folders. But there is no way to do in disk level in capture one . Has it ever bothered you? How to delete that folder ? Thanks.

      Thank you for watching, and for the kind words! I'm glad you find the videos useful. More are on the way :-) When I need to do what you describe, I generally just right click the folder in question, select "show in finder" on a Mac or the equivalent on a PC, and delete the folder there. In the Capture One Catalog the folder will still appear, but now with an alert icon indicating the path is no longer active. I then right click the folder while in C1 and delete it, removing it from the Catalog. I actually think its a good safety net to not be able to delete a folder on the disk level while in Capture One, as I'm of the mind that the software should easily be able to add folders and structure, but should be difficult or impossible to remove it.

    Hey Zac, thanks for the video, super clear! I've been using C1 for a couple years with sessions (I used to work with Bridge + Camera Raw) and it`s just now that I noticed you can IMPORT photos into sessions. Is there any benefit in importing into a new session photos you already downloaded? Isn't one of the advantages of sessions in fact being able to browse/edit whatever folder you want? I must be missing something, but I don't even get why the Import button within sessions exists... why don't just use a "master" session and from there browse and edit whatever folder you need (all the adjustments are saved within each edited folder). What's the benefit of creating a session for each work (and importing your files there) vs. using a master session (located somewhere on the drive, My Images F.E.) and just browse and edit your files as you need?

    • @zendrson
      @zendrson 10 місяців тому

      Files certainly must be kept in external storage. Simply moving the files to their final archive using C1’s folder tool, or Re establishing a path after the files have been moved will keep your local storage clean. I import directly to external storage, but leave the Catalog file local for best performance. This “referenced” catalog makes best use of resources and external storage.
