Moved To New Disk - Adjustments?? And Worse!
Filled up existing disk. Copied entire set of images to new disk. Pointed Cap One at it importing all. I seem however to have lost adjustments made to the images in the existing disk. I use only the referenced method, not the Catalog. Is there any way to recover the adjustments made to various images or have I destroyed all hope because of something like overwriting the database? P.S. I can find a folder called Adjustments in the backup area but can't seem to make anything of it; drilling down simply shows some folders but, in the end, the last one is empty. The good news is the topmost folder is indeed the main folder where work has been done.
Addendum: things are a bit worse than just losing adjustments. The library view shows some images that are NOT part of the folder being viewed. Click on that image and the correct image is brought up. OK, simply regen the preview. However, this results in a highly off colored (super pinkish tinge) of the correct image. Unfortunately, clicking on that thumbnail now brings up a full scree of the off color image thus making color correction image impossible. Pursuing this a bit by trying to adjust this image shows the error message "The film curve [Panasonic GH2.-Auto.fcrv was not found]". In addition, there are some Nikon images and clicking on some of these gives either a proper ICC profile (Nikon 5100 Generic) or sometimes another error message "["The film curve [File System jpeg.-Auto.fcrv was not found]" even though it was a .nef that was selected. (The ICC profile shows JPEG neutral instead of the Nikon Generic!!) Update: found out that this is because the database points to the JPEG version of the image in BOTH the jpeg and nef cases!!
Coming to the conclusion that this is a big mess that can't be easily fixed.
Update: located backup, simply clicking the All Images.cocatalogdb opens the old database and all adjustments. So, how does one move all successfully to a new disk system?

Moving images and adjustments et. al. to a new disk appears to be a major challenge for Capture One. The solution I've found for all the problems reported below is ... painful, would not work if extensive work were done on a number of images, and is painful, painful, painful.
Simply add folders on new disk mirroring structure on old disk. Apparently this must be done to the lowest level for only then will synchronize folder work. Then find all images on old disk with adjustments and copy and apply to image on new disk.
Did I say this was painful? There appear to be a number of old posts on this issue all of which are inapplicable referencing Media Pro and commands, such as move, that no longer appear.
Anyone with a simpler, workable solution please chime in by all means.0 -

Not sure but it sounds like you did use a catalog. After moving referenced images to a new location you should NOT import them again. Instead, locate the images from the library of the catalog.
More on this can be found in my blog at:

Well, I guess there's no way of not using a catalog just how it is used. All my images are not stored in the catalog although I suppose they are "cataloged" for db purposes. It's the variants that are the mystery in the moving process as they don't move being virtual. Perhaps locating the images from the catalog would bring in all the variants also. I guess this means one should move the All Images catalog to the new location? 0 -
The correct flow when moving to a new disk would be
- Make sure your Catalog db is on a local disk
- Shut down CO
- Move the referenced images, using the same folder-structure as before.
- Start CO and use the Locate functionality to re-locate the images.
