Aperture User Questions
1) Does Capture 1 Pro 8 support PSD files
2) Does Capture 1 Pro 8 support stacks. If so, how do I create a stack
3) When I edit a file manually in PhotoShop, how can I automatically add it to the catalog
4) I shoot tethered to my laptop, and create a session. I then try to import the session into my catalog on my main machine. However, it doesn't really import the session, it just creates a reference to my session (as in, the files still live in the folder on my machine that I copied the session to). Should I shoot into a catalog on my laptop, and then import/merge the catalog? Would that pull the files into the catalog on my main machine?
Thanks,
Toine

Ok, I'll take a try at this.
1) CO8 can generate a PSD file for output. Do not believe it will display one, flattened TIFFs are supported for both output and import.
2) Do not believe CO8 supports stacks like in aperture, you are able to create variants of the same image, and collapse those, but I just tried and the menu items are ghosted, and I am not able to. So the stacks are very limited to what Aperture supports. (EDIT) It seems like you are not able to use the Collapse and Expand Functions if you have any Filters enabled. I was looking at a group of 2 star images only. Once I removed the filter the Collapse and Expand functions were available.
So unlike Aperture where you can stack a group of images, (Say from a Pano, or Focus stacking, then the result) into one stack. CO8 only allows you to group/stack variants of the same image.
3) in CO8.1 they just added the ability to "Edit With..." which will create a file with all the adjustments and send it to another application while at the same time adding it into the catalog, CO8.1 also just added an "Open With..." which send the file directly with out creating a new variant.
4) Can't answer, have not tried that.

Answer to Q4.
What is it what you like to achieve, what is your goal?
Some background information. When you import a session, the session structure and the images are imported. The images are always referenced, which means that the catalog contains a link to the original image file. In your case, when you import a session on another computer over your network connection the images will still only exist on the originating system.
If you want your images reside on the target system, where your catalog resides as well, you have two options.
First option is to move your session to the target system first, before importing.
Second option is to import the folders of the session through the normal import dialog, instead of importing the session. From the import dialog, you can decide where you want the catalog store the originals: current location, inside catalog (fully managed) or new location.0 -
Thanks for the answers!!
Seeing the "Open With..." and "Edit With..." menus in 8.1 has been a great addition. Too bad it's only TIFF files, although I'm glad it supports layers in the TIFF File. I'm still storing my PSF files elsewhere, and I really would like to keep PSD files in my catalog.
I do have a question - when you do "Edit With..." it creates a new variant, that is my TIFF file. However, when I apply a keyword (Edited) to this, it also applies it to the RAW file. Same with Color Tags. How can I make it so both files (the RAW image, and the TIFF file) do not sync the meta data that I apply to one?
As for the goal when importing a session, I shoot tethered on my laptop, and when I'm done I move the session folder/files over to my main machine. When I did an import of the session, all photos were referenced, which I don't want. So, I end up just importing the photos. Not quite as nice, but it works.
I had imported my entire Aperture library ( +/- 100,000 images), but it made C1Pro 8.1 so slow, I removed it from the catalog.
I definitely have a lot of learning to do, so I can become just as quick in C1Pro as I was in Aperture. But, I am loving the image quality of Capture One Pro.
