Need help with workflow

Alex

I was wondering if anyone could provide some input on my workflow and suggestions for improvements or ways to avoid disasters, etc. Thank you and appreciate your time.

I'm coming from a perspective of lightroom so I completely understand if some things I mention make no sense to experienced capture one users. Bare with me as I travel through the learning curve of capture one. 

  • Import files from SD cards to internal catalog on PC. I instruct capture one to rename the files and put them into a file structure in the drive which works for me. 
  • In capture one, I see the folder with all the images, and I create a new user collection album with all these images so I'm not working off the folder but the user collections. 
  • Edit files 
  • Once done editing and don't plan on editing anymore that select album, export the selected ones, and then move entire folder to my NAS within capture one. Seems like capture one keeps track of where the files are so the albums don't get ruined. 
  • My NAS photos are backed up to the cloud.
  • If I have to revisit the album and edit, I'm now going off the files from the NAS, I don't move it back to the local drive. 

So that's about it, I the initial import is a little worrisome since i don't have a backup of the internal drive yet, so for a period of time, I have to either backup the drive manually to the NAS just in case or live without that initial backup of the files. 

I seem to be having some slight network issues with accessing files from the NAS on my MAC. So the reason why I was importing to the mac first is that the performance is way better then going to my NAS first. Right now it feels like my NAS is cold storage. 

I know there can be ways to improve this so any help, tips, suggestions, is greatly welcomed. Thank you.

    I don't use an NAS myself, but I know that there has been a history of them being a bit unreliable with Capture One. The network connection, and especially its speed, seems to be the weak link.

    As you are on a Mac, presumably you use (or could use) Time Machine. That will back up your images, won't it?

    Great suggetion, I am going to setup time machine asap. On another note, I did improve the performance of the NAS for macOS, with some NAS config changes, however, the local drive will perform better so seems that the mentioned steps still remain the same with added Time Machine backups.
