How to e-mail a photo from Capture One
I am a new to Capture One, Pro 8 having just switched form Aperture. Yes Capture One is a very good photo editor, however, now that I have this great photo emailing this photo is next to impossible.
I cannot find any information on the tutorials nor in the documentation on how to e-mail a photo or put it someone else on my hard disk drive. I have spent way too many hours trying to figure this out for such a basic function.
Can someone please help? (Oh Apple, please give us Aperture back)

Because there is none - Capture One doesn't have this ability.
Export the image to a hard drive and email it as an attachment using your usual email client0 -
If you cannot easily e-mail a photo form this image processor, then this program for me is worthless. What a horrible program. in the year 2015 if you cannot easily e-mail a photo from any program, then the program is worthless. I feel like I just got ripped off. 0 -
I cannot even export the image to my hard disk drive. I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure this out.
Please apple give me aperture back.0 -
Process or Export the image and use the Open With field for entering your mail program. 0 -
Your comment does not help. I feel like I am back in 1997 trying to figure out difficult software. -1 -

Do you mean it does not work like that?0 -
no, I cannot save a photo I have just processed or can I use the process feature to place the photo into another program ☹️ 0 -
There is really no reason to behave like that.
Paul have giving you your answer.
Here are the links for the processing (that comes up when clicking the ? in the software, in each tool):

This program is now allowing me to save, transfer, move or e-mail my photos. I am using a iMAC and this program is not working.
How do I know the difference between a MAC version or a PC version?
I have wasted an entire day trying to figure this out and it is not working. I am very upset over the amount of time with this just to email or save a photo. wow0 -

There is no difference between the mac and windows version of CO.
Did you read the documentation and did you follow Pauls advice ?0 -
Yes!! 0 -
I realized the photo O am trying to move, e-mail is "offline while another I just tried is not. 0 -
Just create a recipe.
It may sound silly, but it works just fine. And you only have to do it once.
In your Process Recipes, you have the option of opening your photo in any application, including Mail.
Once you create the recipe, name it "Mail" and you are done.
This may seem a bit vague, and if it does, drop me a personal email and I'll be more specific.
Tonight i'm having a few beverages and explaining things may not go as intended 😂
Capture One has a learning curve. I'm assuming Its not as straight forward as Aperture, but learning it will pay off.
I use C1, Photoshop, and LR.
C1's recipes are by far the best way to export photos. It just takes some getting used to.0 -
Select the image you've worked on in the browser.
File > Export Images > Variants
Set the destination for the export.
Choose the format you want, for emailing, choose JPEG.
Go to the image in the Finder, right-click, and choose Share > Mail.0 -
Go to the image in the Finder, right-click, and choose Share > Mail.
I understand wanting this to be doable directly in Capture One. But given that it's two clicks away and provided by the OS, I can't see any reason to justify Phase One spending the time to incorporate it.0 -
Actually, just found a way that is easier still.
When you export the JPEG, just change "Open with" to Mail, and it exports the image, and opens an email in Mail with the image attached. Mail doesn't show up here initially by default, so the first time you'll need to choose Mail from the Other... menu at the bottom.0 -

Nice to see you also found this route (as it was discussed in a few posts in this thread). I love your endorsement. 😉0 -
Ha, sorry Paul. Oops, caught out for skimming. 😊 0 -
Sorry folks, but I have to agree with the original poster. In today's day and age there should be a direct way to email a photo. While one can certainly export a photo and then open it and email it, that is just not at all efficient. Apple has plenty of hooks to email a photo directly from an app and I hope that Phase One adds that feature in the future. I realize this is a pro program, but if you want to attract enthusiasts like myself, adding features make this a more attractive package. 0 -

I can understand that and sympathize with a more subtle approach of the discussion. There is a lot to gain. Priorities, I think.0 -
I agree, emailing a image should just be a click and bang you get a single email window with the 1 or 1000 images that are selected.
Currently yes, you can set up a process recipe, and set the "open with" to the email app. Now if you are doing multiple images, I do not recall if it open one email message, or X number of email windows (Which would be totally wrong). BUT, the big problem is that now you have to go find the JPEGs it created and delete them after the email is sent. This is totally wrong.

I'm no longer as emotional as the OP, but I too generally agree. The frustration comes from not finding right-click ways to do simple, common things. Our anger is misplaced a bit though - I think really we're all still mad at Apple. We're trying to find something that approaches that certain combination of power and ease of use that is Aperture. C1 holds such great promise in the eyes of Aperture users, and it gets better all the time. (I've been testing a move to C1 since Capture One 6 and have owned 6, 7 and 8.)
Capture One didn't start out as a DAM, but as it continues to head in that direction, I wish the developers would recognize Aperture as being a better mousetrap in many, many ways, and invest time trying to emulate it. There's a small army of frustrated Aperture users just waiting to give PhaseOne our money.0 -
I am not a programmer nor a sophisticated software user but following previous instructions it took me less than a minute to create a new process recipe using PNG as file type to be attached directly to an email.
Works for me but if the user is not able to export an image to the hard drive which is the easiest way in doing so after having Capture One installed I am wondering if something went wrong with his installation.

airme,
I am coming from using Aperture. Capture One is not Aperture. Most people who have used Aperture and now need to find a replacement realize how good Aperture was as a RAW processor, DAM, and user application. Capture One is a RAW image processing engine and a darn good one at that! It IS much better than Aperture at RAW processing and you do get a better image from CO8.
I purchased CO7 back in August coming from Aperture. I think it's the closest GUI to Aperture. I was importing, editing and exporting images after a few days.
For Quick email I process the image > create a JPEG for Web use and email it.0 -
A share button would be great. To share the image via email or twitter etc.. I love CO and this would just make things a little more integrated. 😄 0 -
While I don't really email out photos (which, OP, if you want to talk about being stuck in the 90's, lets talk about still doing that), I would love to see integration between Capture One and some publishing services. Perhaps the one thing I miss most from LR was the ability to publish to Smugmug directly via a plugin. While this may seem trivial to do (output to a file and upload via a web client) LR had the ability to sync pictures, so that any time a change was made locally, an updated version of that image would be published online. 0 -
Hi Jimmy Uptain
I certainly wish what you said about dropping photo into email.....but my apple mail is greyed out not allowing me to export directly into mail. Am i missing something??
Thanks0 -

Good morning!
Unfortunately, I am V9 now. However I just created a new recipe, with the file opening in Mail without issue.
Go to your Process Recipes tab. Looks like a single gear icon.
Right beside "Show Enabled Only" you will see a + and -. Click the +. This creates a new recipe.
Name that recipe "Mail" or whatever you like
In the Basic tab you will find "Open With". It will open up a finder window. Use that to Navigate to Applications, then Mail.
Choose Mail. That's it.
Of course, you will probably want to change the ICC profile to sRGB,and tweak the quality, size, etc.
One other thing, in the "File" tab of the recipe, you may want to create a sub folder and call it Mail.
C1 will create a folder within the output folder called Mail. When C1 processes a file it sends that processed file to the "Output" folder. Creating a subfolder for each recipe makes the processed files easier to find for future use or just to delete.
If you already tried this and it doesn't work, you could choose open in "Preview" and email the photo from preview. Other than that, I'm at a loss.0
