Moving working images and adjustments to another computer.

Spicyjello
Hello,

Just got back from a trip and have edited all my images on my laptop in a catalog. How can I move the images and all the adjustments to my tower and intergrate into the existing cataloge there?

Thanks for the advice.

    Make an album of the images you want to transfer to your tower then select that album and select 'Export as Catalog' from the file menu, be sure to select 'Also include referenced originals'.

    Transfer your new catalog to your tower via external hard drive then then select 'Import Capture One Catalog' from the file menu.

    Or:
    File > Export Images > Originals, and also check Include Adjustments (or Pack as EIP)

    Thanks..

    The challange I had was once imported on the tower, the images were not in a folder. They only way I could locate them was to look at recentluy imported. I then had to create a new folder in the my Images folder where I store all my work and move them there with in C1.

    Is that how it should work?

    Thanks for the assistance.

    I'm not a catalog user so perhaps someone will correct me if I'm mistaking but in my testing it seems that importing to a catalog does not move the images from their location. Albums of the import are made within the catalog but the files on the hard drive remain in their original locations. You would need to do any file/folder management yourself, either before or after import.

    Perhaps an easier way moving forward would be to use sessions on your macbook, not catalogs. Then there wouldn't be the extra step of exporting from one catalog and importing to another, you could just import the session into your tower's catalog.

    I would agree with the sessions suggestion for the use case described.

    However if the catalog of origin has been created as a MANAGED catalog rather than a REFERENCED catalog (at least for the images that need to be transferred) then both the original files and the edits, etc., will be within the catalog data structure and managed by it - preferably without any external influences so that C1 always knows what is going on. Hence the need to Export everything from the catalog.

    That said the edit instructions, etc. would still need to be exported and associated with their appropriate source files before transferring to another catalog even if the source files are REFERENCED.

    A session would avoid all of that if set up sensibly. (I.E. used as it is created by default.)

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I have never really used sessions. Sounds like something I need to understand better.

    Troy,

    There's not really too much to understand if you are already familiar with C1 processing and catalogues.

    You can, perhaps, think of a session concept as "catalog lite" with greater visibility, flexibility and portability but not intended for use with tens of thousands of images - although that's not to say a session cannot support a shoot with tens of thousands of images.

    If your ultimate intention is to place the resulting edited images into a Catalog then staying with the default Session format and folder structure should be all you need and keeps things extremely simple with the entire session being easily moved around simply by moving the top level folder. It's contents will follow.

    For reference.

    There is a webinar session scheduled for June 7th 2018 on the Subject of Catalogs and Sessions and how one might best work with them.
