Capture One 8.2 and Perfect Photo Suite 9

Capture One 8.2 & Perfect Photo Suite 9 don't seem to play well together.
Trying to round trip to Perfect Photo Suite 9 with Edit With command, C1 builds a TIFF and adds it to my Captures but PPS9 crashes trying to open that image.
Use Edit In and I get PPS9 to open image OK, but it does not appear back in my Captures or Output files for the Session after Savining. Have to restart C1 to get the variant to appear in the Capture file.
Tried Synchronizing but function is greyed out/unusable everywhere.
Want to use C1, trying to switch from LR, but C1 doesn't like what I'm doing.
Any suggestions?

  Sounds like you have to give a heads up to the guys making PPS9. It could seem they don't read to-spec tiff files.

  Sorry to bother you all with this one, read the previous posts, seems I have to do the work around for now.
  Cheers

  The problem is that PerfectPhoto Suite is including the Alpha Channel information when they save the tiff. I have exactly the same issue with PPS 8 and the way I deal with it is to (first) call PerfectPhoto Suite, do my work and save the file and then (second) do an Open With using the returned tiff sending it to some pixel editor, make sure the image is flattened and then saving it again. That takes care of the issue for me and I don't know any other way around the problem.
  
  When I load the tiff from PerfectPhoto Suite into a pixel editor to flatten it I sometimes have a problem because the software does not treat the alpha channel as a separate layer and I sometimes have to add an adjustment layer (doing nothing with it) and then flatten it before saving it. Not all pixel editors require an explicit flatten. Acorn only needs the file to be loaded, Affinity Photo automatically offers the flatten image when saving a tiff, and so on.

  OK - So I experimented.
  "Edit With" PPS9 causes PPS9 to crash at opening no matter what file you send it from C1.
  "Open With" PPS9 and send either a PSD, TIFF or JPEG file over, do edits in PPS9, flatten and return to C1 as a JPEG works, image appears in Sessions Capture folder.

  I work with PerfectPhoto Suite 8, not 9, so perhaps there is a problem with 9, but I can send a tiff to PPS 8, edit it and then save it without any trouble. Of course C1 cannot read it until I open it with a pixel editor and re-save it, but other than that the process works for me. Perhaps I should ask what setting you are using when PPS opens - Edit A Copy, Edit Original or Add As A Layer. I am using Edit Original.
  
  What I am actually doing now is to call an external editor like PhotoLine or Elements (or Photoshop) and use it to call PPS, but only because I can then flatten the PPS image properly before saving it back to C1. Jpgs work without having to re-save it because there is no Alpha Channel information to worry about, but I don't care to use jpgs if I don't have to. I prefer to work in 16 bits.
