Stacking photos
Hi,
Is it possible to stack two photos? In lightroom, when I open a RAW file in Photoshop to edit, it creates a TIFF file (as in Capture One), and indexes this file back in the Catalog. But when I finish editing the photos, these two files are stacked together, and only one is shown. Is it possible to do something similar in C1?

Thanks.

No, it's not possible. Stacking/grouping in CO is applied to variants only. 0 -
If you edit the TIFF in C1 you can "stack" the display of the multiple versions of the edit. If you edit it outside C1 then, as ClauS has said, stacking in the way to seem to be hoping for is not available. 0 -
Ok, thanks. Any idea on an workaround to do something similiar to stacking? 0 -

No way. If you rely on the Lightroom catalog capabilities for your workflow, please read my initial post in this thread :

What is the purpose of your need to stack the images?
Simplification of the browse view?
Or are you using to define a group of images for a particular project?
Or something else?0 -

Buy Affinity Photo, the price is loose change compared to C1. It's available on free trial, try it first.
Affinity Photo is a "pixel editor" like Photoshop. C1 is a RAW editor like Lightroom. Different beasts.

Thanks! I had already read that post before. Nice work. But if I understood correctly, you have to open photo by photo in C1 to edit it, as I would in Photoshop, right? If so, it´s not pratical for me. I usually have 1000+ photos to edit in a row. Anyway, I just hope C1 will improve it´s catalog capabilities in the future.0 -

Well, when I open a photo in Photoshop for the final retouches (I don't do it in all photos, mainly when I need to remove an unwanted object from the scene), it creates a TIFF file, which is the one I'll use. I won't do any more edit on it back in C1. The problem is that when I go back to C1 after editing, both photos are displayed and can be exported. In Lightroom, it stacks those two photos together and only one is shown on the grid. If I select all photos in the folder to be exported, Lightroom only selected the top photo of the stack, which is the final photo, edited in PS. This way I know that I'll export only the final image. In C1, if I do the same, I'll select both photos, because they both appear in the grid.
What I think I'll do is remove the star (I'm making my selections with one star) from the RAW photo and let the star on the TIFF file. Then, when exporting, I'll select all one star photos. It's just not that practical, especially if compared with the automated process in Lightroom.
But I'm open to other ideas.
Thanks.0 -
Just in case anyone from phase one is watching... I would like to group images that I edited like the above but I also want to group all the images I used in a stitch or an HDR so the final product is on the top and the constituent parts are underneath.
This makes viewing the catalogue much easier since the intermediate images are hidden under the final version.
Yes, I have made this request to support.3 -

You're correct. However, if the default state when launching C1 is a session, opening any file in a given folder should actually add all the files stored in that folder to the session.
Also, and that could be the solution for you, if C1 is launched with a folder name passed on the command line instead of a filename (like the above script does), all the image files stored in that folder will be proposed for import. I could try to modify the script to make it work that way : select any file in LR, launch the script and you'll get all the images of the folder containing that file in the C1 import dialog.
Finally, if C1 would accept a list of files on the command line, the script could collect the filepath of all files selected in LR and pass the list to C1. Unfortunately, I have never seen any documentation about the C1 command line switches and I doubt that it will be able to do that.0 -

If this is enough for you, the script should be modified that way :
local LrApplication = import 'LrApplication'
local LrTasks = import 'LrTasks'
local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog()
local LrShell = import 'LrShell'
local LrPathUtils = import 'LrPathUtils'
local function openWithExternalProgram()
local programPath = "C:\\Program Files\\Phase One\\Capture One 20\\CaptureOne.exe"
local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
if photo ~= nil then
local photoPath = photo:getRawMetadata('path')
LrShell.openFilesInApp({LrPathUtils.parent(photoPath)}, programPath)
end
end
LrTasks.startAsyncTask(openWithExternalProgram, "openWithExternalProgram")0 -
Nice! I'll give it a try. 0
