Possible to export only edited images?
If I have a catalog collection or a subfolder with a number of (raw) images and I have edited only a subset of those images, is it possible to export only those images that were actually edited? When selecting 'Export Images > Variants...' then all images in the subfolder/collection are exported (regardless, ifthey were edited or not), but I want to avoid having to manually select only the edited images.

I may not understand your question as I process/export using the Output tool (single gear icon ) with process recipes and not the File->Export Images->Variants. A quick test indicates though, that File->Export Images->Variants exports selected variants and I suspect you somehow selected all variants prior to activating the export.
Have you tried to filter images on "Adjusted", select all while filter is active and then export?0 -
Thanks, that was helpful.
I indeed selected all images when exporting, assuming that a variant would be defined as an image that has been modified/edited in some way. That's apparently not the case - they were all converted to jpg, so that makes everything a variant also, I guess, and so everything gets exported.
But I tried the 'Adjusted filter' and that enables me to select only the edited images, as you suggested.0 -

It is, in a way, but perhaps not in the way most people think of a variant. C1 never changes image source files. What you initially see on screen is the result from processing an image source file content for rendering on screen, and C1's algorithms have been involved one way or the other. What you initially see is one variant of all the huge number of variants C1 potentially could have produced from the source file. C1 settings are involved, you can fiddle with settings and influence how the "first variant" comes out. As you add your own adjustments to a variant, that variant changes, and it becomes "Adjusted". You can clone more variants (look it up) and adjust them separate from the first one and adjust them differently. Filter on Adjusted to see only variants adjusted beyond C1's initial processing.
Quite a few users have been confused by the term variant in C1. You only need to remember that without the first variant, there would not be any image on screen. Users tend to think their first clone operation produces the first variant, forgetting that C1 already made the first clone.0 -
Just to add a small comment to what OddS has already written ...
For a RAW file there is nothing to be seen unless at least some 'modification' has been applied to the source data.
Which modifications would count as 'edited' and which would not count as 'edited' could be debated for a long time.
For example the Import process is, in effect, editing the files.
C1 differs from some other applications it that 'developing' a RAW image (or any source file) is not an isolated process that produces a base file before moving it on to the editing part of the process using another software module. With C1 everything is dealt with as a single stage process up to the point of export (unless one chooses to use an external editor of some sort along the way ...)
So you either have to look for a specific change form a specific tool or, usually more useful, set a marker of some sort to identify edited images. Rating, colour tag or a keyword are the most commonly used examples. However one might also consider using the Selects folder for images that you have edited - or some other folder, EDITED for example, into which yuo can place your edited images for process management purposes.
Maybe we can discuss how to identify re-edited images at some future point ... ?
