If you have any ideas to simplify or optimize my workflow, I would be happy to read your suggestions. I know, I should not move any files withing PS, because that might destroy the C1 session structure, but this is ok for me now. CameraRaw from Adobe, but the described workflow seems to work for me right now. The workflow could be much easier if C1 would offer a single image edit like e.g. Thus I can re-use my former edits in C1 (because they are stored within the session structure) and do not compromise my archive. If - for whatever reason - I need to fine tune images later - I just open the C1 session database that had been copied over an do the edits in C1 (and create new exports if needed). I then move the full session (including the session catalog, the caches and edit files from C1) into my picture archive with a file manager, open up PS and search for missing folders, complete tagging and labeling and use automatic versioning to map the exports to the original raw.ģ. Once I am happy (could take weeks or longer ), the main C1 job is done.Ģ. For all "good" photos I create standard exports. I import the photes into that session, do the culling and rating and all of the RAW editing. For every photo event I create a new session in C1. Re-Edits is a rare case, but for convenience I keep all session files even after a file is in PS.ġ. So I decided to work in C1 from Import to Final Edit and in PS for Cataloging and Searching. * Back and forth between C1 and PS is a nightmare. Once a file is in PS, I will never do any XMP/IPTC edits in C1 again. In addition, I avoid metadata editing in C1 (with the exception of rating) and do the metadata updates in PS later. Therefore I make sure that XMPs are generated that I can use in PS. * C1 handles Metadata different than PS expects. If I want to print something, I store the image as highres TIF. While JPG/SRGB is good for screen and Web, it is not sufficient for printing. PS should show them as the main version in the version set. Therefore I decided to create JPGs for all "good" images after Raw editing. * PS does not show the edits of Capture One 22 in the thumbnail, not even the most basic ones. This combo has some interoperability issues which I tried to mitigate. For RAW Editing I selected Capture One as the tool of choice. I am working on Windows and use PhotoSupreme as DAM and Main Catalogue.
