Importing catalogue with adjustments from Lightroom (8.4)

Petr Vorel

I am testing Capture One and so far I am very pleased with the UI. I wanted to import some RAW files from Lightroom with adjustments so I export on folder into a new Lightroom catalogue that I meant to import to CO. However no adjustments have been transferred. If I open the catalogue in Lightroom the adjustments are present.

    Hi Petr,

    how did you try to import?

    After import: Are the Metadates correct imported (especially keywords)?

    Please be aware that not all adjustments made in LR can be imported correctly! Many options have other scales and so on...

    I did it as per you image and you were right, about that not all adjustments make it to CO. I was transferring b&w images and was put aback that they were all in color. It seems that some adjustments were applied but I just wasn't aware that it was so limited. Thank you.

    You should see that different Raw converters do not in all options work with the same algorithms. Not in every case it is possible to "convert" the different results of different adjustments. and - as an example - saturation with a setting of -15 in C1 is not the same as -15 in LR. ;)

    I keep LR catalogues untouched till I need to adjust new for a special project. Then I convert the affected catalog and make adjustments from the scratch(!) only for the images I use in this project. Rest I leave as they come to C1 via importing a catalog.

    Regards
