Culling, organizing, moving, deleting, cursor tools
I'm fairly new to COP (from LR) and still getting used to the feel of things. Love the overall results, love the color editor and so many other things, but a few things are still baffling me.
Part of my workflow in LR was to import from my card to a collection called 'No Collection.' This would get photos off my card and in a place where I could cull (at my convenience) and then move them into other collections in my library. After moving them I would delete them from 'No Collection,' while others would be 'x'd' as rejects and easily deleted from not only the library, but the hard drive as well. It was all very easy and intuitive, but I'm finding it to be less so on Capture One. Perhaps I'm missing how to do it like I did in LR, need to shift my thinking on how best to do this process, or keep hunting for how to make it easier for me.
Love the many tutorials and webinars that have made my transition easier, but haven't found quite what I'm looking for when it comes to my above situation and also on the use of the cursor tools; specifically in this case 'Select/Move To/Trash.' When I use the Trash cursor instead of continuing down the row of photos it'll sometimes jump to the bottom after I trash a photo from a collection. 'Move To' seems to do nothing for me.
I'm thinking that I could do something similar by not using a 'No Collection' album and doing this process from 'Recent Imports,' but from what I understand it is not possible to delete photos from Recent Imports. This would make things more difficult in that I wouldn't be able to recall which photos have been moved into an album and which haven't. I've also thought about using color tags to differentiate from moved/unmoved, but this would seem to be adding unnecessary steps to the workflow.
Any opinions on how to more efficiently do in COP what I did in LR? Any specific recommendations for a tutorial/article/webinar that addresses any of my issues? Is there any type of encyclopedic reference available one could consult for explanations of every tool and feature that goes a little more in depth than the general descriptions found using the Help function in the software?
Thanks to all who participate here. I'm looking forward to learning more about this great software and this forum is a great source of information.
