Dumb Beginner Question re Adobe RAW

NNN636309887659540335
Hi There
Apologies in advance if I have completely failed to google this question.

I am looking at moving to Capture One and have years worth edited in Adobe RAW and then "filed" with Bridge.
I can not seem to import my edits in to Capture One even though I have ticked with adjustments. Is this user error or will this just not work?

Thank you

    By "Edits" do you mean Metadata and stars, tags, etc.? (See Bobtographer's post)

    Or the changes you have made to RAW files to produce edited exposure, colours, crops and so on?

    Thank you for asking. I mean the edits themselves. Colour balance, local edits, spot removal etc.
    Thank you

    Yes my import pref look like the above but I have also tried them with "Load" and "Full Sync"
    Thank you again

    These cannot be imported, as Capture One and Lightroom use different algorithms and cannot interpret each other's adjustments.

    As John Doe has said - the edit instructions are different for each system in such a way that interpretation is not possible.

    You could produce output from Adobe to a common file format - for example TIFF - that would have your settings embedded and could be read and further edited by C1 should you feel a need to do so.

    Or just treat your previous work as complete as it is.

    If you decide to revisit an old image just start afresh with C1. You may find that to be the most satisfying thing to do anyway.


    HTH.

    I can't recall ever revisiting an old image without re-processing it. The tools have gotten better over time and my skills have improved. The re-visit always results in a more satisfying result.
