Automatically Transferring Files As They Process?

NN634871031878647794UL
We shoot fashion, about 60 outfits a day.

I select and process the RAW images for each garment while the model gets changed.

I then manually transfer the processed jpegs onto a server, so my retoucher can get working on them straight away.


Is there any way to automate this transfer? I'm sure it can be done with Apple's Automator program, but I got hopelessly confused trying to work it out. Perhaps Capture One's 'Output' folder could be set up on the server?

I'm using CO 7.2.1, Mac OS 10.9.2 & Canon 5d3


Thanks.

    Yes.

    Another option is to use a tool like ChronoSync.

    Depending on your server setup you may have a huge performance hit in setting the server as the output folder. Better would be to have a background plugin that copies on process completion. Contact me off the board if you like more info.

    I have a couple plugins that I have developed that will soon be for sale. Thats the reason I didn't go into too much I think it might be against the forum rules.

    So this is a thing other people have thought about?

    I'm interested to hear all solutions!

    If you're quickproof processing the raws, the server is networked, and set as the output source, then it should be no problem.

    I think the server is networked. What is quick proofing the RAWs?

    How do I go about setting the Output folder to be on the a server. (Sorry if it's really obvious!)

    Thanks for this.

    1.set quickproof jpeg size: prefernces-image-cache="preview image size"
    2.process recipe-basic tab-format=quickproof (size of the output jpeg = preview image size")

    set output folder: under "output location tool-store files-drop down menu-create a new folder on you server (if it's networked you'll see it in the sidebar.)

    I believe there are scripts that will automatically process raws once all the following is set.
