When you need to make highly-specific image modifications, such as advanced retouching, stitching or stacking, you can select an external editor or a standalone plug-in for Capture One to use. The external editor must be selected first to allow Capture One to copy and convert RAW files and apply any adjustments that you have made, using the Edit With… command. Modified images are imported back into Capture One alongside the original image where additional adjustments can be made if necessary.
Similar to the Edit With… command, the Open With… option in Capture One allows you to open previously processed files (PSD, TIFF or JPEGs) with an external editor. You can also use it to open movie files in a relevant application. This is especially convenient if you have imported a mix of stills and movie clips from a video-enabled DSLR. The Open With… option can also be used to send RAW files to an external editor. However, this option is intended primarily to allow additional image modifications to previously processed files. Sending the original RAW source files to an external editor bypasses the file-copying and subsequent RAW conversion and processing in Capture One. Therefore, please ensure the external application fully supports the camera’s RAW files as attempted editing may result in file corruption.
NOTE: Plugins are not supported in Capture One Express.

Hi Lily,
I have some problems locating Smart Album images after a round-trip to Affinity Photo.
When I select an image from within Users Collections > Group > Project > Smart Album (e.g. 5 Stars) and choose Image > Edit with > Affinity Photo, after I have edited and saved the image in Affinity Photo it doesn't appear in the Smart Album 5 Stars. In fact it doesn't appear anywhere in the Users Collections, not even in the regular Album All Shots in that Project. I have to go way back to the Catalog Collections > All images to find the image there.
When on the other hand I select exactly the same image as above from within Users Collections > Group > Project > Album (a regular album, not a Smart album, e.g. All Shots) and choose Edit with > Affinity Photo, after I have edited and saved the photo it appears both in het regular Album All Shots - where I started from - and in the Smart Album 5 Stars, where the original file is living too.
I have no clue why a round-trip from within a Smart Album doesn't work the way it should, while everything is fine from within an regular album. Am I doing something wrong?
Regards,
Ivan

Edit with currently not applying edits made in capture one before sending tif file to Affinity Photo.
Specifically clone and healing layers are not being applied. File opens in Affinity but areas previously cloned and healed in Capture one are not being carried across.

Hi,
I have the same issue with Pixelmator Pro - even basic changes done in CO (latest version on 31 April 22) are not visible after image sent (tif, dng,...) to Pixelmator Pro with Edit with/Open in option.

The only solution at the moment to edits not being applied (on any kind of export or 'edit with') is to turn of Hardware acceleration off for image processing in Capture one preferences. You can leave it on Auto for Display and select Never for Processing. You can find this setting about halfway down the first tab (General) of C1 preferences. Hope that helps!
