How to delete RAW and JPG at the same time
I'm relatively new to Capture One, and have a relatively basic question.
I shoot in both RAW + JPG. After I import the photos in Capture One 11 (mac), I go through the lot and delete the bad photos.The difficult part is, I want to delete both RAW and JPG versions of the bad photos but have not found an easy way to do this!
Today, I first go through all the photos in JPG and rate the ones I don't like with 1 star. Then I have to go back and essentially DOUBLE my work and mark the corresponding RAW files with 1 star. Then I take all the 1 stars and delete them from the catalog and hard drive. There's gotta be a more efficient way to cull your photos. In Aperture, JPG and corresponding RAW photos are merged into one photo, so I can just delete one thing instead of having to double my work. Does this function exist in Capture One?
Thanks in advance for your help!

What's the point of importing the JPEG version in the first place? 0 -
hmm... Good question, importing JPGs allows the photos to be viewed without using Capture One using Finder. Finder won't let you preview or open RAW files without Capture One or some other software. 0 -
As long as the camera is supported in Apple's RAW support Finder will show thumbnails and also full-size previews with quick view?
Which camera are you using?0 -

I'm using the Sony A7III
When I look at finder, all I see is a blank sheet icon next to the raw (.ARW) files and preview just has a spinner that spins forever and never generates any previews. I'm on Mac 10.12 Sierra.
But I think the original question is I'd like to be able to delete a JPG and have the corresponding RAW also be deleted, there doesn't seem to be a good way to do that.
Do you guys only shoot in RAW and not worry about generating JPEG until after you've done post-processing?0 -
I think you are out of luck with that version of OSX and RAW support, Apple don't tend to update for legacy versions of OSX. As far as I know they haven't updated the current OS yet to support A7III.
Without resorting to AppleScript I think you are going to struggle to do this in C1 automatically.
I never shoot RAW+JPEG and only create JPG after post-processing.0 -

Yes indeed.0 -
Thanks all for your valuable input. I will try shooting in raw only. After hours of trying to clean Up both raw and jpeg photos I now see the error of my ways. 0 -

If you have both and as long as they are in the same folder (for example) and have the same name except for the file type suffix, then it should be possible to display them side by side making it easy enough to select both and delete them together.
There would also be search options although such a solution might work well for low numbers of removals - not so well for mass culling
HTH.

I've been experimenting with a new workflow that includes RAW+JPEG. I shoot with the Fujifilm X-T3, and I often want to keep the JPEGs, and view them next to the RAW.
To make this work, you have to adjust Preferences, and create a few shortcuts.
Step 1: Edit > Preferences > Image > Metadata > Auto Sync sidecar XMP - Full Sync
Step 2: Edit > Edit Keyboard Shortcuts > View > Global Filters > Always Hide JPG - (I set my key to F12)
Step 3: Edit > Edit Keyboard Shortcuts > View > Global Filters > Always Hide RAW - (I set my key to F11)
After importing your RAW & JPEG files, you can use the new shortcut F11 to exclusively review JPEGs, or F12 to exclusively review RAW.
The Preference setting will automatically create a Sidecar XMP file for your photos. If your RAW & JPEG photos have the same name, the XMP file will apply to both formats, regardless of the file extension (.JPG .RAW).
When you review your photos, and give your JPEG a Red Color Tag or 1 Star Rating, it will reflect in the RAW file as well; and vice versa.
Once you finish tagging & rating your photos, use the Capture One filter tools in the Library tab or Browser to only display photos with a Red Color Tag or 1 Star Rating.
You can then send all these rated photos to the Session Trash.
Note: Auto Sync sidecar XMP may slow PC performance. You will also see XMP files written in the same folders as your photos when using a File Explorer.
If you don't want to auto sync, first hide all RAW files with (F11) and rate all your JPEGs with the desired rating. Second, select all JPEGs in the Browser, right-click a photo, and select "Sync Metadata".
Next, hide all JPEGs (F12), and reveal all RAW (F11). Select all your RAW files in the Browser, right-click a photo, and select "Load Metadata".
Your ratings from your JPEGs will now be applied to your RAW files.

@matthew You're a real lifesaver. In the beginning I was going to close this thread, because I read all the comments that do not answer the question, but question the question at hand. I hate this.
Then I scrolled to the end and read your precious solution. Thank you!2 -
@ Matthew Jones
Thank you so much for your solution! This thing bothered me for so long using CO.
A lot of times I used my good old and lean Breeze Browser Pro picture viewer Software for deleting the "bad" raw & jpgs at the same time.
I just stumbled across your discription. Great!I was hoping in CO21 they have some function integrated to do this, like pairing Raw & Jpg, as it can be done in the renaming section (function) of the software.
I never will understand that there are some functions you really need often, but they are not integrated in a easy usable way or function.1 -
@Matthew Jones MARRY ME!

Hi,
does newest version of Capture one have this option to merge jpeg and RAW?
Answering all of you who ask why I need this - because I do and please lets leave it like this.
This is the only thing that is keeping me with Lightroom.
Matthews idea looks great, and I will try it on my Mac, but I do edits not only on Mac, and I don't think Windows will allow me to do something similar.I saw many people asking for that function for many years already in Capture One and there is still nothing new in this subject?

I currently don't use the latest version of Capture One, so I can't answer that question. I haven't seen any updates adding the feature either.
The method above works on Windows, and should work on Mac since the program features are the same.
I edit on a Windows PC.

Oh, that is a great news. I will try. Thank you. I hope Capture One will have this as its native feature so we don't need to use workarounds :-(

@Matthew Jones
Thanks for sharing your detailed instructions. Doesn't this method cause previews to be generated twice, so there's a bit of a drawback there?
To no one in particular:

"I expected understanding of RAW+JPEG to be table stakes for photo editing software."
I second that.
A) Do this, then do this, then do this....then do this.
B) Just do this
Which one would you pick?

Hello all
Has there been any development in this regard?
I have just decided to explore CaputreOne, as I refuse to follow the subscription model of Adobe. I heard a lot of praise of CO, especially together with Fujifilm and am extremely surprised that raw+jpg is not an option. Shouldn't this be a very basic feature of such a tool, especially if you want to use catalogues?Matthews solution is great, but I just don't understand how this is still not implemented. I always shot jpeg+raw, as I like to have the option to have a great picture at hand, if someone else needs it and I don't have (or had) the time yet to fully go over the pictures. What I always do, however, is to sort out the pictures I do not want to keep - doing this with jpeg+raw is just a hassle.

I strongly support this feature request. Especially now that I take make RAW photos with my iPhone 14 Pro Max I have many HEIC+DNG pairs that should be treated and selected as one. Please Capture devs.

I have this same problem, ended up going a different route
downloaded fastrawviewer and it will move/delete both jpeg and raw same time (turn on the option)
just thought i would share
cheers
