File numbering issues

George Chemas

This is a scenario I keep running into, not a deal breaker but the extra steps of scrolling/locating/renaming are time consuming when you're editing large batches of images. 

  • After I make my selections/initial edits in CaptureOne I right click and select "edit with Adobe Photoshop 2021"
  • I do my thing in PS and save/exit.
  • I go back to CaptureOne and the image I just edited is not below the original CR3, it is  at the very top of the browser list and named something random. 

Example -

 

Perhaps this is some setting I've missed but I thought I'd ask if anyone else encountered this?

 

Thanks!

    When you 'edit with' in PS does the file appear with the correct file name in PS?

    It opens in PS with the proper file name, same as it’s named in CaptureOne.

    Same file name but a different file type extension (e.g. TIF)?

    So if you then just "Save" it saves with a new file name? 

    What happens if you "Save as"?

    Same file name but a different file type extension (e.g. TIF)? - For some odd reason it depends on the catalog.

    The catalog I screenshot above opens up as the ~xxxx.tif naming. Another catalog does the proper naming and stacks the image in CaptureOne right below the .CR3. The main difference between the two sets is the "problem" set was shot tethered in studio while the "proper" set was on location and imported from the camera's SD card.

    So if you then just "Save" it saves with a new file name? - Hitting save will save it as whatever scheme is shown when opened in PS. I'm not making any changes to file names at all.

    What happens if you "Save as"? - Same result as above except I get the option to change extension/location.

    Hmm.

    I use sessions and not catalogues (mostly) but adding in a Tethered Shoot scenario (historically the province of Sessions) and if fully tethered, a C1 controlled image numbering regime rather than a camera-generated image name may open up a whole new raft of things to consider.

    How does the file number compare with whatever settings you have for image numbering as part of the tether activity? 

     

    I'm sort of wondering (simply because it seems like an unusual situation to me but it might not be to others who regularly shoot tethered) that if the incoming file from PS is unable to be written over the existing file and so is saved with a different naming regime in the same folder.

    At that point I am at the limit of ideas and I suspect that you would be in a much more immediately available position to test such a theory than I am. Checking the Counters for example.

    The log files may add some light to the process as well.
