Workflow Question

Photography by Toine
With the Aperture announcement, I'm looking for a replacement tool. Capture One Pro has proven to be very good at RAW processing, so I'm looking to move my studio over.

One thing in my workflow, that I have missed so far, is the ability to edit a photo in another editor, and have it automatically be added back into the catalog.

In Aperture, I'd say "Open in Photoshop," and then when I saved my PS file, it would "magically" show up in the stack in Aperture.

Does such workflow exist in C1Pro7? I have Google'd my heart out, but haven't found it yet.

Thanks,

Toine

    No, sadly, I don't think C1 will let you "round trip" to Photoshop (or any other editor). That's a feature I hope they've heard enough feedback on to add. Granted, there is a lot you can do with an image in C1, but some things, portrait retouching comes to mind, are the realm of dedicated pixel editors.

    Thanks. So, what is people's workflow for this? Export, open, save, re-import?

    You can create recipe that will export and open PS but you still have to import afterwards. I too hope this will be addressed in a later release.

    I have a recipe to output to CS6, with the resulting file being created in the output folder of my session. If you wanted your file to go straight into the session you could just have the recipe create the file to be opened in PS in the session folder, when you save it in PS it will be back in the session folder when you go back into C1, assuming it is a supported file, tiff, jpeg etc, rather than a PSD.

    We are not talking about sessions, but I do something similar with the catalog. I just right click on the folder and select import, this imports all the files again but skips those that already exist so you end up with the new tiff being added to the catalog.

    Could you not then set it as a hot folder then?

    I have hundreds of folders as part of my catalog structure so I don't think so.
