Question re addressing files in their current location...

If I simply want C1 to access files in their current location on my HD - and leave them there with edits intact - do I have to go the Sessions or Catalog route?

Or is there a third way that avoids these?

Thanks.

D.

  Session or Catalog, either will work.
  A session saves adjustments next to the RAW and you can just click on the parent folder of the RAW files to load the images.
  A catalog saves the adjustments in the catalog itself and you must import the files to associate their location with Capture One.

  Drew: is there any way to create the adjustment folder also for catalog? I really like the catalog functions (projects and groups for example) but I'd prefer to have the adjustments next to raw files. Is there any way to do this?

  There is not. This is the main benefit, to many, for a Catalog. The Settings are neatly saved within the Catalog.
  However, once the files are in the Catalog and edited you can make a copy of the files along with the adjustments outside of the Catalog using the "Export Original" option of the right click menu.
