deleting files

bas1
Hi,

I am new at this forum, and also a novice in using CaptureOne LE. I am now trying to figure out what the best workflow for me is.

What I do is, I create a new session and import the files into that session. Then I judge the ones I want to develop, and want to trash the rest using the trash bin icon. However, i am not sure that these files are actually deleted from my hard disk after I have emptied the trash. The manual is not clear on this. Does anybody of you know the answer? Thanks.

Also, after I have develop my pictures, I am not sure whether I should save them as JPG and keep the raw files and the settings file, or just save the JPGs. Or save in TIF and throw away the raws? What do you do?

Lastly, can anybody recommend a good book (or better even, a comprehensive manual) that specific deals with the tricks and trades of CaptureOne.

Many thanks,

Bas

    I'm relatively new to the software as well and I haven't created any sessions, I just select the folder that the files I want to work with reside in. Of the files I have trashed, what actually happens (other than them appearing in the Trash tab of the workflow) is that the file on disk gets renamed to *.trashed but still resides at the same location.

    For example, if you had a file called c:\\pics\\whatever.cr2 and you trashed it, the software renames that file to whatever.cr2.trashed - but the file remains at that location. I couldn't see a function to restore a file from trash but you can just rename that file to remove to .trashed and the file should show up in the thumbnails again (you may have to restart the program).

    Thanks. At least this makes it easier to delete the files later by just sorting them by name.

    Bas,

    Files that are Trashed can be restored to Session Tab by drag&drop
    To permanently remove, select All and then use the Trash can icon to delete all.

    The Searcheable Knowledge Base articles include some Tips&Tricks articles that can help you establish your workflow efficiently. Also, the Video Tutorials, Forum, Documentation, and submitting a Support Case for feedback to questions or capabilities can help too.

    As to File Type: JPEG Vs. TIFF
    In general, large wall prints and images that will need artwork/major retouching should be TIFF due to lossless data.
    JPEGs are more than fine for good prints up to 16x20 and if they will not be Saved again which will result in some data loss / compression.
    Some studios process out their High Quality JPEGs and Archive these only.
    RAWs are not. One studio shared that the Reorders from portraits was very rare, so he saw no need to archive the RAWs.
    Others keep the RAW or Digital Negative and into the future, when processing algorithms improve or new color profiles become available, they can go back to an old RAW and process a much better and/or different final image output.
    Portrait Studios sell for here & now, while commercial studios always have the potential for a sale of images from past.

    Bas,

    Yes, the searcheable Knowledge Base is the gray box on right-hand side.
    You can search or also link to Top 10 read articles, Latest 10 or do an Advanced Search.

    I put in Tips and get this listing:

    http://www.phaseone.com/home/content/su ... htext=tips

    There are some good ones here that should help you out.
    You can also search by topic, i.e. cropping

    The search engine and articles themselves have greatly improved over the past many months. There is an increasing number of articles read each month so we know they are helpful to many.

    Enjoy Capture One !
    Cheers,
