Categorizing Images

Hi there

Sorry for this silly question!

I created an empty/new catalog and I imported 1000 photos (I perfectly see all 1000 imported photos under "All Images").

I now created several albums and I want to categorize the 1000 imported photos by drag-n-dropping/moving the photos from "All Images" to the different albums. But "All Images" stay the same (I always have 1000 photos there, this is actually right). What I am looking for is a way to really "move" the photos so that I see less and less photos... Cannot figure how to do that...

Many thanks and regards

  All Images is intended to be All Images.

  You can filter from All images using any of the metadata settings and values.

  This is quite useful if creating smart albums, for example, as a stepping stone to making "Fixed" albums.

  Thanks for the clarification.

  Is there then a way to filter for "all photos not in any album"?

  Thanks

  Do you mean in any "Fixed" album? i.e. one where you have manually collected images and created an album as opposed to a smart album that creates things on the fly according to some data grouping criteria?

  I rarely use Fixed albums.

  Smart albums create themselves. I use those quite a lot.

  I don't personally feel a need make extensive use of albums - certainly not fixed albums  - but that perhaps is a result of using Sessions. They are, in effect, albums of a sort anyway.

  The answer to the question, either way, is No, there is no specific function that heads off to check a list of images contained in each Album BUT the real discovery might be better handled by some metadata identification and grouping anyway since (For "fixed" albums) using a metadata field to store the album name once the group has been selected would also provide some Album grouping capability for applications outside Capture One.

  HTH.

  Unfortunately, there is no filter option for 'in album' or 'not in album'. A workaround for this is that you give all images in an album a small piece of metadata. This could be a rating or color tag. But more subtle is a keyword or other piece of metadata that you would normally not use. You could save it in a metadata-preset to make it easy to apply.

  Next, you filter for not having that piece of metadata...
