Work Flow with CO6

Jim MSP
I have been trying to find the best workflow for me, given the limitations and problems of Media Pro and CO 6.x.
I have a Canon D60, and run in Win 7. If I'm careful and patient with MP, I can work around crashes and lock ups.
So far, the most efficient work flow I can find runs like this:
+ Use The Canon EOS utility to download new photos to a dated file folder
+ Use the Canon EOS Utility to create a new folder within my 2011 Photos master folder
+ Drag the raw files into this new folder.
+ Open up CO6 (it still has a problem with being open too soon)
+ Sort through each photo, expanding when I need to (MP light table is too slow to render an enlarged photo)
+ Mark by color and rating in CO6; delete(to trash) if necessary in CO6
+ Process all remaining photos as I desire into various output subfolders.
+ Open MP
+ Use "add folder to Media Pro Catalog" command in CO6 to send the competed folders into MP
+ In MP, add key words, etc to sets of photos.

While somewhat slower than in the past, this seems to work for me.

Has anybody found a better workflow?
Any suggested improvements?

    Similar to your flow:

    - download images from camera to local HD folder in my own layout.
    - open CO6 and do first keep/delete and remove (backup) the non needed pictures
    - import into MP and set all the tags (goes way faster than in CO6)
    - close MP (because both running will give CO6 some serious troubles: crashing, stop rendering images, stop processing output)
    - do all the work in CO6: also final mark and move non needed images; no processing yet of final images
    - open and update MP catalog (remove missing) and do the detail tagging; close MP
    - process images from C06 to the final output for later post processing

    Thanks for the reply.
    You say that you "- import into MP and set all the tags (goes way faster than in CO6)"

    Do you actually "import" into MP, or do you "push" the files in?
    I have found the "import" function quite flaky.

    I have also found that CO6 sometimes loses some of the tags on processed photos (ie, not seen in MP) if I set them in CO6.

    I drag and drop the folder onto the MediaPro Icon, I never go through the import function actually.

    Helpful discussion. Cheers!

    I’m still adapting my workflow to MP+C1. I shoot mostly landscape, events, and street-without-people. I have a film background, hence I rarely fill SD cards to the brim. Usual amount of pictures taken on a shoot lies between 15 and 60.

    After a couple of weeks my workflow looks as follows:


  • Load photos off SD card into appropriate folder using Capture One, fill in standard meta-data with a template while importing.

  • First culling of duds in C1.

  • Add remaining photos to Media Pro via the “add to catalog†function in C1.

  • Add further meta-data / keywords in MP.

  • Sync meta-data to files in MP.

  • Process images in C1. When finding some images can’t be rescued / don’t work as intended, trash them in C1.

  • Update MP catalog with “remove missingâ€.

  • Build new previews in MP.

  • For web / iPad / photo books, “convert†from Media Pro to full-size JPEG and add to iPhoto.

  • For all the rest, export from Capture One using the desired color profiles and TIFF settings.


    • Problems encountered so far:


    • Media Pro doesn’t allow for exporting with ICC profiles, so I either have to assign profiles using yet another application, or re-importing into MP, or hoping iPhoto will add a suitable profile for the web JPEGs on import.

    • Also, MP keeps some meta-data which nowadays are standard for IPTC in custom fields, resulting in e.g. missing People information in other applications.

    • No way to add location information using GPS logs inside Media Pro, hence I need yet another application when location info is required.

    • Hence: too much application switching involved.


    Streamlining options I’m considering:


    • Get Media Pro to reliably import photos off SD cards. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, I haven’t figured out yet why it breaks one time out of eight. Hence the C1 roundtrip, above.

    • Try scripting / Automator to add ICC profiles to JPEGs on export from Media Pro.


    I’d appreciate any further suggestions how I could simplify my workflow.

    Cheers,
