How to export and import pictures with adjustments

ha1des

Hi all

I want to send my pictures to my retoucher in one of the RAW formats including adjustments I already did.

These are regulary: Whitebalance, global and some local adjustments 

And if possible: Color Profile with x-rite color checker (so that nothing can go wrong here before she starts with the retouchment)

But whenever my retocher imports the pictures there are no adustments at all. So maybe I or she are doing something wrong.

What I tried:

- Export originals as EIP with adjustments checked.

- Export originals as NEF with adjustments checked.

- Export as DNG

Also C1 adds a XMP file next to it but it contains only meta data like my name.

How can I check if the adjustments are included in my exported RAWs, so that I can find out on which side the error is. 

Thank you!

Tibor

PS: Of course I could render a TIFF or PSD but this has too many disadvantages since a lot of the RAW data is lost.

    Tibor,

    Does your retoucher use Capture One?

    If "Yes", is it the same version that you have?

    Hi!

    Yes, she's using Capture One 21. Good point, I'll verify the exact version.

    Thanks

    OK.

    EIP would be the usual way to go and then import (if using a catalog) or choose whether to import or not using a session.

    As far as I am aware the "DNG" export is nothing more than a file format conversion with DNG being treated as a different RAW file. So no edits would be included.

    If importing to a catalog she would need to tick the "Include existing edits" box. The same if importing to a session but if opening directly in a session should not be necessary as far as I recall if EIP files are used. However, that may have changed for some situations in recent releases so do not rely on that observation at this point.

    Thanks again. That’s what I thought.
    She’s ticking the box as well. But: she’s using C1 20. Is that the problem?

    Yep. 

    C1 21 would be OK with C1 20 files but not the other way around. 21 offers enough changes to tool functionality in some cases that there is a good case for simply applying a cut-off between the two.

    Other than updating I'm not sure what to suggest.

    I assume she has a Perpetual license?  (If she is using a subscription then updating to V21 would seem to be the logical thing to do.)

    Two things to consider.

    It is possible to run with a monthly subscription, one month at a time. HOWEVER, BE AWARE THAT THE T&Cs INDICATE THAT SIGNING UP TO A SUBSCRIPTION WILL NEGATE ANY PREVIOUS PERPETUAL LICENSE RIGHTS. 

    One might want to make sure the subscription user details and the perpetual user details are well isolated from each other.

    One could also consider taking advantage of the 30 day fully functional free trial with a view to confirming that V21, if installed, does indeed resolve the sharing problem.

    Thanks for the tip. We are working on a regular basis (but we used both LR as a RAW converter). So she has to upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

    Thank you again!
    I’m sure that will solve the issue.
