Keeping adjustments when moving files

Jeff Grant
I am importing images to a folder, working on them, and then want to import them into a computer at a different location. In doing this I do not get the adjustments I have made. I have ticked the 'include existing adjustments' but it doesn't import the changes.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

    You have a few choices.

    If you are working in a session, just grab the whole session and copy it to the new location, then import session.

    You could export the images, and copy the image filrs and the OSX CaptureOne folder that has the "sidecar" files with the adjustments.

    If you are working with a catalog, you could move all the images into the Catalog, and then copy the catalog to the new location. Then "Import catalog"

    Alternatively, if you ware working witth a actalog, you could copy the catalog and the iamges referenced by the catalog. Then open the catalog, and use "Locate" to connect the catalog to the images. Then "Import catalog".

    Many thanks, Eric. It looks like the session is the way to go for me. That way I get a neat package that I can import when I get to my other system. I'll try it next time I get to the other computer.

    C1 exports files with adjustments in one of two ways, depending on which box you've checked:

    1. All of the image files + a folder containing the adjustments.

    2. Self-contained EIP files that include both the image and the adjustments.

    I always opt for #1.

    When importing the images in #1, you need to be sure to move the "Capture One" folder (this is where the adjustments are) to the same location as the images. Then when you go to import the images + adjustments, you'll be fine.

    For #2, C1 will recognize both the images and the adjustments. However, I haven't done that kind of import, so I don't know whether C1 saves the EIP file (I think this is what it does) or breaks the file back into its image + adjustments components. It's an easy experiment for you, though.

    Or as Eric says, you can just use sessions.

    Many thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I have just been importing the image folder, and hoping to get the adjustments. Now I understand that I need to export the originals plus adjustments from within C1.
