Hi

I switched from LR5 to C1 Pro 7 and I didn't find the way to edit some images into Photoshop.

In LR I just had to right click and use the "Edit with" menu, edit my image, save it and it gets automatically imported into my library. I see nothing like this in C1.

After Googling some all I found is use the Export feature, which asks for a folder, but after that the image is not getting imported back into C1.

Is there a way to do this easily like in LR?

Thanks

  In a word... no.
  
  Once you've processed and exported a RAW file (as a TIF or PSD) that's the end of the line for Capture One. It is for RAW processing only so once you've converted to pixels there's no more work that C1 can do for you.
  
  Personally my workflow still includes LR because I like the catalog feature and roundtripping to PS and back.
  
  It looks like this:
  
  Capture to C1 -> make raw adjustments in C1 -> export to TIF/PSD (to a folder in my LR file structure) -> Syncronize folders in LR -> Edit in PS -> Roundtrip to LR -> Export from LR for delivery.

  Thanks for your reply, I'll deal with it but I hope they will implement such a feature in the next major version.
  LR and Aperture allow this, C1 should too.

  Coming from LR/PS, it did take some time for me to feel comfortable with the workflow adjustment, but now I don't give it a 2nd thought...."it is what it is"

  Its almost there already...
  
  You can create an export recipe that creates a tif in the same folder as the original raw and then hands it over to PS automatically. Once finished in PS you just have to resync the folder to get the new tif included in the catalog.
  
  I'm hoping that CO will add a check box in the recipe module to automatically include the tif file in the future. I put in a feature request, I suggest you do the same 😊
