Noob question

I'm using Luminar Neo as an external editor -using the Edit With feature,  In Neo, I choose Export As and save as a TIFF - which adds "Luminar" in the file name. What would the proper way be to add this edited TIFF back into the Capture one Album where the original image is located?

  Not sure if you figured this out in the meantime but here's how you can do it:

  • If you use Sessions, save the TIFF into your Session folder (Capture or Select), it will automatically show up in your Session.
  • If you use a Catalog, save the TIFF into the originating folder of the TIFF that Capture One created. If you don't know where that is, right-click on the TIFF in the Capture One Catalog and select "Show in Finder" (Mac) or "Show in File Explorer (probably)" (Windows). Important is that you export the file from Luminar with the same file name as the TIFF that Capture One created. Essentially, you have to overwrite the Capture One TIFF. This will then automatically update inside of the Catalog.
    If this seems too cumbersome, you can also just export from Luminar to anywhere with any file name and then manually import that file into the Catalog.
