How to take over the edit data from Ver.12 to Ver 10
I'm using two versions of Capture One at studio and home.
One is Capture One Pro 12 and another is Pro 10.
After editing RAW images on Pro 12 at studio , I take it home and open with Pro 10.
But edit data didn't reflect on images.
How can I take over the edit data from Ver.12 to Ver 10 ?
Is there any way to take over the edit data ?

Any version upgrade usually comes with changes that apply to the data stored in the file management database (Either a catalog database or a session database depedning on what you have used - both types will have internal changes) and also in the Edit instructions "files" plus, sometimes, a number of other values in settings anf definition files used by the system.
Capture One will, as part of an upgrade (or an in-version update when necessary) make copies of previous catalogs and session files and save other information that is version specific. This is especially evident in the case of V20 when using sessions but has been the approach used for some time.
Assuming users do not delete that information it makes it possible return to using an old version should there be a need to do so, and retain all of the settings and edits just as they were when it was last used.
However, if a catalog or session only exists in a later format the earlier version will not be able to recognise it successfully or work with it due to the internal data changes. So no edits made in later versions can be seen by older versions simply because there is a strong chance that something has changed and the result may not be as expected.
Newer versions can still make use of the image "processing engine" used for edits in earlier versions and that means older edits can still be interpreted and processed just as they were even if the newer engines would interpret the values differently. However if you start a completely new edit of an image or variant from an old session or catalog (or simply update the processing engine of an existing edit) you cannot choose to then change the processing engine back to an earlier version.
So in effect things are always one way for new versions BUT you can keep edits from old version unchanged in new versions and C1 will automatically save old version of the data which would then allow you to run the older version catalogs and sessions and re-open them just as they were should that be necessary for some reason.
V12 and V20 both contain the internal processing engines for edits back as far as V6.

This opens up some possibilities for editing images in a new version but using an older processing engine. However it is difficult to think of any normal situations where that might be really necessary.
It's also not an answer to moving complete catalogs or sessions between computers using different versions if backwards compatibility is required.
HTH.
