working with C1 and CS4 together

Thomas312
Is there an easy way to move from working in C1 to then opening up that image in CS4 and saving it back in C1 to continue editing

    First step yes (output recipe; open with: CS4). Second step: yes, if you want to continue editing in the output file (tiff or jpeg); open the output file manually in Capture One after CS4 editing and saving. Does not make sense to me but then: who cares about that? 😉

    Hey Paul Thanks for the reply not sure if your familiar with Lightroom But there you can migrate quite easily from one program to the other and then when your editing is done in Lightroom you select all and do your Raw to JPEG convert Do you think its similar to that?

    Sorry for being a bit cryptic. In CO4, go to the the Output tool tab (with the cog wheel). In the Process Recipe section, the latest entry is Open With. Select Photoshop CS4 from the drop down list. Hope this helps.

    No. Regarding Lightroom, I am not an expert in that field but as far as I know you can go forward and backward only between LR2 and CS4 regarding camera raw and with processed TIFF and JPEG files. But again, I may have missed the boat 😉

    With Capture One it does not work that way. Your workflow is basically that you start with CO and make adjustments on your raw file and process the image into a TIFF or JPEG file. You can open this output file in another editor like CS4 for further processing not available in Capture One. In general, that's it. You don't go back unless you like to re-process with different parameters.

    However, you CAN open the processed files in CO4 like you did with the raw file (open the folder in the Library tool) and apply adjustments. Again, it does not makes sense to me because you could better adjust the initial raw file (works fine for TIFF and JPEG files others send to you, without the raw file).

    The question that comes up is: what do you actually want to achieve with this going back and forward?

    you can use any program as an "external editor" (including C1 itself, to do actual raw conversion on a raw file, through a little trick, was described here) and LR will pickup the resulting modified (or replaced, if you are using C1) .TIFF back into itself for further processing... DxO ships LR plugins to further facilitate using itself from within LR (if you can't beat it marketwise then ride along)
