Combining Images from different Sessions into one 'Album'

Hello,

I am interested if there is a method to drag and drop images from different sessions into a 'common' folder that every session can see? I don't want to move the images, only point to them (like an album)
I have many sessions from different jobs/locations and want to start collecting images into folders like: Location, Landscape, Portrait etc. Similar to Collections in LR.
Am i missing something and the need to have albums within sessions if other sessions don't easily see them?

Thanks in advance.

  I don't think sessions can share folders or albums, I may be wrong. We'll use Expression Media to create collections based on "extra-sessional" criteria. Capture One isn't a DAM like Lightroom. I can see what you mean about albums in the sessions though, I've never had any use for them.

  Hey Dave,
  
  Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have been thinking about using LR as my DAM program, but am curious how Expression works with Capture One.
  If I import the images to separate sessions in Capture One, then point LR to the folder (import in same location to catalog). This does not seem to automatically update changes I make to the image in CO4Pro or vice-versa.
  Do CO4Pro and Expression work intuitively with one another (automatically updating metadata, changes etc)?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Brendan

  Hi Brendan, I just use EM at the front and back ends of raw processing and only expect integration with photoshop which it does well. I've read that others who expect reliable metadata throughput aren't always getting it. Sorry I don't know the current status but I think there's some discussions about this in the forum.
