how many images can be stored in a catalog

Mark Golledge
greetings all!
looking to transfer my aperture library of around 100k images into a capture one catalog and was wondering how many images or size a COP catalog can handle.
many thanks for your input and help.

    Hi Mark

    welcome i guess there is no limited but you will find the process very slow and once it well CP has not the best DAM function like view all you photos can take very long. i run on MBP 15 2015 1tb SSD and 16 GB ram it takes 1-2 minutes before i can see all my photos around 30k (RAW most of them )

    The best solution is to organise your images into a number of Catalogs so they are smaller and also it will mean you can find images more easily.

    So far I only use Sessions and I don't use Keywords. We are all different in the way we use Capture One.

    You should definitely check out sessions in addition to catalogs as you get immersed in C1.

    I have an Aperture import catalog. And then a catalog for 2015, just started a new one for 2016.

    I generally import now into a Session and do all my editing and mastering in the Session. Each month I import each of the Sessions into the annual catalog. Benefits are, everything is nimble, I can edit on my laptop and move it to my Mac Pro where the Catalogs live, all the work you do in the Session is transferred to the Catalog including the naming and organisation you do as well, so no need to do User Collections in the Catalog, the session architecture does all that. It leaves the referenced files where you left them.

    Wow. Are you sure about that? I too have almost exactly 30.000 RAW files in my catalog and when I launch the application and then switch from my last view to "All Images" it takes around 15 seconds until they pop up and can be scrolled.

    That's still horrible but 1-2 minutes seems excessive and you should check out your system.

    I have a Mac Pro (2010) and the images are all referenced on a standard SATA drive while the catalog itself sits with OS X on a SSD.

    Thanks so much Tommy! I want to explore sessions more. Maybe you can help with my questions per your experience:

    Moving over from Aperture I started adding all my projects into C1 and about half way through my 100k images I noticed a considerable performance loss and halted the imports to do the unknown if I added all 100k images.

    Session... does each session act as a catalog performance wise? I was wondering if I made each project a session that would eliminate the sluggish performance.

    Am I still able to search through all sessions and see all images as if it was 1 catalog?

    Lightroom seems to handle the large library much better than C1 but I really like using C1 vs the feeling of having to use Lr 😊

    Thanks for your help!

    I too have a start-up time of minutes (for my 36k catalogue) - and on a latest i7 iMac!

    An open-ended question, I know but I'd be interested in your settings.

    What do you mean with "settings"? The previews are set to the size of my displays (1920h), that's all.
