I need to recover 60 pictures of my grandchildren

FirstName LastName
On Saturday I took a bunch of pictures and I was not paying attention when I loaded them into my computer. So, instead of going into a folder (19-11-02), they went into 2019 Catalog and I can only access them if I open “Recent Importsâ€. To further exacerbate the problem, I reformatted the CF card before I realized my problem. Is there a way that I can move the pictures from Recent Imports into my 19-11-02 folder?

    What happens if you select all the images in Recent Imports and drag them to the folder you created?

    Thank you for your suggestion, however I could not get that to work. I was obviously doing some thing wrong. I am a true dinosaur.

    In the interim, I invented an ugly way to make it happen. Definitely not elegant, but I was able to get the pics where I originally wanted them to be.

    First I created a destination folder on my desktop. Then I exported the images from C1 as TIFFs to the destination folder. In the third step of the clumsy process, I reimported the pics back into C1 into the desired location. They came back in labeled "After 1.tif", "After 2.tiff", etc.

    Fortunately, the originals are still located in my Recent Images folder and if I learn how to do it correctly , I'll do it the right way.

    Yup that's ugly alright. 😄

    Let's see if we can do better.

    The Library Tool has three sections. It is important to recognise and understand each one
    • The top section, "Catalog Collections" has Collections (groups of images) managed by C1. You can't change the collection names and you can't change the collection contents directly
      • All Images
      • Recent Imports
      • Recent Captures
      • Trash

    • The second section "User Collections" has Collections (groups of images) managed by you.

    • The third section "Folders" refers to where the image is stored.
      • The first item is "Catalog", meaning the Catalog itself.
      • The remaining folders are folders in OSX.
      • You can manipulate the contents of Catalog and Folders by using C1. Its a good idea to do it this way.


    First find the first imports under Recent Captures, in the subfolder for the first Capture date.

    Now select one of the images, and right click on it.

    If the item "show in Finder" is greyed out, then you have imported them into your Catalog file. This is easy to do by mistake and would explain why you can't find them anywhere with OSX.

    If "show in Finder" is not greyed out, click on nit, it will bring up a Finder window and show your originals files in OSX

    Now a little organisation. In the User Collections part of the Library. create an Album with a suitable name. Perhaps "Family Pics Originals". Select the "good images" from Recent Captures and drag them to your new album. Now you can find them more reliably.

    If "show in Finder" is greyed out, this is how you fix that.

    Right click on the file again (in Recent Captures or in your Album) and select "show in Library". This will should take you to the the Catalog part of the Folders section of the Library tool, and show your missing image files there. Note that they are here, you will need to come back and select them.

    Now back to recent imports, and find your TIFF imports. Here "show in Finder" should not be greyed out (if it is, you have also imported the TIFFs into the catalog - if so come back for further help) Click on [color=#0000FF:18zi3dch]"show in Library"[/color:18zi3dch] and this will take you to a Folder in the Folders section. Still in Capture One Folders, create a subfolder, perhaps called TIFF files, and drag the TIFF image files there.

    Now back to the Catalog part of the folders section of the Library Tool. Select the originally imported files, and drag (move) them to the folder where the TIFF image files used to be.
    Now you should be able to right click on them and see an item "Show in Finder", click on that. It should bring up a Finder window showing the original files.
