Client editing requirements

TC
I have just purchased Capture One Pro 8 and am trying to get up to speed in order to use it on my next shoot. I've read the online manual and searched the forum but haven't found an answer. My main client receives RAW files and their Art Dept edits the files. Up to this point I have used Canon's DPP to shoot tethered and I copy the RAW files onto their hard drive. Are they required to purchase Capture One software in order to view and then edit the files whether they use Lightroom, Photoshop or whatever application they've been using? Thank you

    naturally if they want to use a different raw converter to work with raws they do not need to buy C1, even if C1 was used to drive tethered shooting

    What is your main purpose for using Capture One when working for that client?

    I have preferred DPP's preview compared to LR and C1Pro when shooting tethered. But lately, both LR and C1Pro have changed their tethering preview sizes and I would like to use C1Pro whether it's for this client or others. I tried to view the C1Pro folder with DPP and LR but it would not open, so I started to research why. I simply want to ensure that they can edit the images with whatever application they prefer.

    Since CO Pro 8 does not alter the original raw files (CR2 in this case) the raw files you create through tethering to CO8 should be readable to any program including DPP and LR, that can handle the file format.

    It took a day of research and online tutorials to find my answers. I found that with every new shot (new session) I needed to designate a common capture folder. Initially, I was allowing C1Pro to handle each session on it's own. Afterward, I would go back and see if different browsers could view and then open the RAW files and they could not. I then followed each new session with designating a common capture folder and they are ready for backing up and then delivery. I'm looking forward to using it on a project and utilizing more features. BTW, the B&H demo video is the best I've found so far.

    You use the word Session so I assume you are shooting into a C1 Session rather then a Catalog?

    Is there something different about the way Macs work in this respect?

    I use windows and if I shoot tethered into a session (or simply load files from a memory/data source) I can open them in C1 or any other application that is able to read them.

    If it's an editor program it will need the ability to open that particular RAW file type for that particular camera model. Most applications out there, even the open source versions, so long as they are being actively maintained to some extent usually can offer that functionality for mainstream cameras within a few months of their public release (at worst case).

    If you are trying to open the RAW files with a Browser or non-photo editor you system/browser software will need a codec in order to understand the file. This may or may not be provided automatically by computer updates. There are no firm rules of engagement for that. It may be necessary, for recently released cameras, to head out into the internet and seek out a suitable codec to install.

    JPG files, on the other hand, are a "standard" format and should be understood by any photo related application and all browsers just as they are.

    However I have to wonder if your particular problem here is not related to any of those things but is more to do with Apple's permissions controls?


    Not being a Mac user I am just expressing an interest here rather than seeking a solution.
