Newbie questions....

Hi folks,

Just testing out Capture One having not used it for several years and am now worried LR will switch to a subscription model....

I have a few questions which hopefully, I can get some answers to......

Firstly, I want to be able to filter images by orientation (portrait or landscape). Can't find a way to do this - is it possible.
Secondly, normal colour labels in XMP files are ignored. It looks like urgency is honoured and translated to colour labels, does this sound about right?
Is there an easy way to add borders to images? In LR I use Mogrify for this, works very well tbh. Nothing flash, just black or white borders....

All help appreciated! 😊

Cheers, g

  No answers folks?
  
  I also need to know how to re-import once I have exported a smaller jpg version, easy to do in LR, not sure if it is going to be easy in C1, nay ideas anyone?
  
  Cheers! G

  For your first question.
  
  No selection by orientation that I am aware of. You might be able to filter by dimension but frankly I doubt that would work consistently if at all. Test on my files suggest probably not useful.
  
  Second question.
  
  I'm not sure I understand it? What do you mean by "urgency is honoured"?
  
  Third question.
  
  No border adding facility although I seem to recall that one or two people have suggested steps they take to get an output with a border. Maybe search the forum?
  
  Fourth question.
  
  Re-import jpg from where?
  
  If you are using a catalogue (I don't so you may want to wait for an alternative answer) and you are writing a jpg from Capture One I have always assumed that the output would be available from within the catalog anyway. If that's not what you are doing then other steps may be necessary.
  
  
  HTH.

  2nd question: color tags exchange through XMP files are not compatible between Lr and CO8.
  
  4th question: in a CO8 catalog, you can use the Edit with... option to export and automatically import the image. Another option is to use the Synchronize Folder option. Both options can be found in the File menu.

  The orientaiton filter is not possible. And it is very anoying becouse if you have 1000 of pictures and you want to tilt them vertical on perspektif it is not possible. When you tilt a portrait picture vertical all your landscape pictures are shift horizontal. Usally I shoot in studio and the level is always same even when I shoot portrait or landscape. But I have to separte all portrait and landscape pictures to tilt them.
