Exporting from CaptureOne
I am relatively new to CaptureOne Pro so I may be missing some way to do what I want to do without all the work. Perhaps there is a simple way to do what I want.
I export photos to Photoshop when I need to do any Layers work, transformations and so on. I also export my completed images when writing them out as processed jpgs. The problem is that I am using the same dialog box for both so, when I want to call Photoshop, I have to set a lot of the parameters in the export dialog box to send a 16 bit tiff file, to set a temporary work folder, a file name and the export program. When I export to jpg I have to reset all of those settings and, since I am often going back and forth between the two exports, it is easy to forget to change something and I end up sending jpgs to Photoshop or writing tiffs to disk.
While this is not exactly a serious issue I would like to know if there is some way to pre-set the export dialog boxes so that I could specify one for processing and another for external editing. That way there would be less work processing photos and everything would be done more quickly. So my question is - is there any way to set export templates and then select which one you want to use? Or do I have to manually change the settings each time I switch between processing and external editing?
Thanks.

If I'm reading your question correctly, this is super easy to do.
Under process recipes hit the (+). This creates a new recipe.
Name the recipe something ,e.g. "Jpegs"
Change settings in your new "recipe".
The settings will remain in each recipe separately.
If you want to run two recipes simultaneously, just check mark the desired recipes. I believe you can run as many different ones as you like. Even at the same time if you like. I know I can run three or so because I accidentally do it all the time.😊0 -

Thanks for the reply.
If I understand your post correctly the Process Recipes control how the image is adjusted by allowing the user to select which adjustments to include for each "recipe". That is very helpful but it is not what I am trying to do. As a general rule all of my images are first auto adjusted and then individually adjusted before process and I don't need to create separate recipes for different raw images. What I want to do is have an export setting which would write the selected images to disc (jpg, 70% quality, no external editor) and an export setting for external editing (tiff, 100% quality, external editor). I looked at the Process recipes and it appeared as though that only controlled what was done to the image before it was processed, not how it was processed (tiff/jpg, external editor/no external editor and so on).
If I am wrong about that please let me know. I am new to CaptureOne and tons of stuff have probably eluded my notice up to this point.0 -
No, the process recipe actually controls output.
Say you have finished editing in C1. The process recipe allows you to save the edited photo in a selected format (tiff, jpeg,PSD), then export it into a folder. It can then open said picture in an external app such as Photoshop, Mail, or whatever you like.
Here's a link that may help you:
