Processing a recipe
What did I do wrong?
I always thought that there were two ways to process selected images - one is the "Process The Primary Variant" icon ( which I am calling item 1) at the top of the screen and the second is the Process button in the Process Summary section of the Process Recipe section of the display opened by clicking on the Output Icon (which I am calling item 2). At least I thought they are supposed to be equivalent, but now I am not so sure.
Because C1 does not support some of my lenses I have been processing using a dual track. First I run my raw images through Dxo Optics Pro using only their lens distortion, lens softness and NR settings and generate a set of output dng images. I then create a C1 catalog using those dng files and do my normal processing. While doing that regular processing I call an external editor to do any editing that I can not do in C1 (such as using the Clone Tool, Healing Brush, Content Sensitive replacement and the like) using a 16 bit tiff as the intermediate file. I then select those images I want processed by C1 and process them to jpgs. All of this has always worked properly until this afternoon when something odd seems to have happened.
Normally I use the "Process The Primary Variant" icon button (item 1) but today, since I was modifying the Process Recipe and the tab was open, I used the Process button (item 2) assuming the two were equivalent. As the images processed a window popped up and told me that there were processing errors and some of the images were not processed to jpgs. All of these, as it turned out, were converted tiffs (although some of the converted tiffs processed properly) and I had to go back at the end and reprocess those (this time using the "Process The Selected Variants" icon button (item 1).
I repeated the process using the same selected images, but this time used the "Process The Primary Variant" icon (item 1) and this time did not have the same issue. All of the images processed properly. So, the question is - are those two buttons supposed to be equivalent? Or do they do different things? And, if they do different things, how are they different?
This failure of some images to properly processed happened using two different folders of images, each time using the second button, but I don't remember it ever happening using the normal Process icon (item 1).
