This weirdly personal first video is a look at how I deal with fear as a creative. I share my personal story about fear and how I'm still learning to deal with it and even use it to my advantage. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes! #creativity #fear #inspiration
Hi Zac, great video! I have a question, do you edit all your photos in the session and once done import the session into a catalog?
Thanks for watching! It's totally up to you. Usually I'll get the edit started in the session but finalize once it's imported into the catalog. The import brings over all edits made in the session so you can pick up right where you left off from the Catalog.
Another great lesson about how to use Capture One. This channel has the best explanations I’ve found so far!
That means a lot! Glad the videos are useful
This was the best explanation. Thank you
Glad it was useful!
I really enjoy this video, I do need to watch it again so I could really understand it but is my brain not you, you are a amazing instructor 🌺🌻🌺
Thank you for the kind words!
Since I'm already using Catalog, is it possible to move a Catalog folder into a new Session? meaning it will move the Files and the edits to the new Session folder?
There's not an automated way to do this, since Sessions are the ones typically being imported into a Catalog. However, it is possible to make a new session, then export raw files from a catalog into the capture folder of the session. If you pack the raw files as .EIP files, the session will see all edits from the catalog and you can go on from there. Just remember that any edits made to the files in the session will not be seen in the catalog unless the file or session is re-imported.
You are such a amazing photographer, thank you for your explanation but I do have to see your video again to really understand it which is no fault of your own 🌺🌻🌼🌻🌺
Thanks for the kind words!!
Zac: You are an outstanding instructor! Thank you for your Capture One videos.
Thank you Dave! I'm glad to hear they are helpful :-)
Zac: You are an outstanding instructor! Thank you for your Capture One videos.
Zac: You are an outstanding instructor! Thank you for your Capture One videos.
I very much appreciate your conceptual approach to how the catalog and sessions work. I find it a much better way of learning than the click here, click here, click here approach of many other TH-camrs. I wish capture one though would make a language available to perform some of these database manipulations. Yes, a gui is a very helpful at times but other times a language works well.
Your'e doing a great job. Found you after x years only listening to the 'official site'. Compliments. I wish someone cold explain to me how to redo my entire cataloging without loosing the metadata, editing, etc. Oh well, we amateurs have to pay our price.
Thanks. Great and straight forward explanation.
So, what exactly are the benefits of using a catalog? I have 35 locations, each a session. They sit on my server, so why put them on the catalog? I see good explanations here on how, but maybe i missed the why.
Great tutorial - You opened my eyes to importing and organizing my sessions folders. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful video. Finally found a kind person who told in normal human language about organizing photos in this wonderful tool Capture One. Thank you very much!
Finally I am happy to enjoy such a good explanation of sessions! 😇👍 Thanks a lot for you effort 🙏
Very well done. Thank you!
When I import raw files from an SD card do they go into a sub folder inside the Capture folder for that session? For example, if I create a Session called October 2024 it has a Capture folder. Is that where I would put sub folders containing each set of raw files I do that I want in the October 2024 Session?
Typically the images you import into the capture folder will be images alone and not folders. This makes them visible when you click the "Capture Folder" section in the Session. You certainly can create folders within the Capture Folder, subsequently accessing them through favorites. However, I prefer to put these subfolders NEXT to the Capture, Selects, and Output folders. Works better for my brain, but to each their own. As long as you know where the images are and can easily access them within C1, you're good!
@@zendrson Thanks... I was a C1 Express user who finally got a paid version. I was using Catalogs before but felt like I was saving raw files twice because after editing I would drag the raws from the SD card to a folder on my hard drive. So, I guess they were there and in the Catalog? Again, thanks. Still watching your video.....
EXCELLENT tutorial!!! So clear and intuitive... Thank you
Thank YOU!
I always hated how Lightroom worked and organized itself. I'm really digging Capture1
Thank you for sharing <3
BEST TEACHING AND EXPLAINED
NICE TEACHING AND UNDERSTANDABLE
love my 23' pro4x frontier. cool vid
Really helpful. I like the way you teach. Not too fast or slow. You might want to turn on "Mono Mix" on your recorder so your voice doesn't pan left any right for those of us who have two speakers... 🤪
Great tutorial. No nonsense, no fluff and no over the top emotions. Thanks!
I get 24.6 mpg without a camper in my 2022 pro-4x.
Thank you for such a well made tutorial! This is really helpful.
Thank you for doing this.
Brilliant video. Struggled to get my head round sessions having come from LR but this is now all falling into place. Big thank you! 😊
Wow I know EXACTLY What you are talking about! I feel you 100%…great video.
it is not clear to me one point: how can i keep the raw files outside my Mac (in my ssd external drive) so that i do not fill the Pc but still being able to work on Capture One? the "catalogue" must import the raw files into the Pc or can it keep the raw files anywhere else?
It's totally possible to have the files stored on an external SSD while working on a local Catalog. This is what is called a "referenced" catalog. To import files that live on an SSD into a catalog stored on your local hard drive, open the import dialogue and, in the "Import To" section, select "Add to Catalog". This will keep the files where they are without duplicating them. When importing from a memory card, you'll select the card in the "Import From" section, then in the "Import To" section, you'll select "Copy to Folder" where you'll then select a folder on your external SSD to import the photos to.
@@zendrson thank you!
You are amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for the great video! I've been trying to move away from Lightroom to Capture One for awhile but it's hard to learn new software as I'm so tuned to LR and don't have the patience / enthusiasm like I did many years ago. Anyway, on a super basic level, is my summary comparing to LR right? - Folders in C1 are like folders in LR. - User Collection/catalogs in C1 are like Collections in LR I used to use Folders a lot in LR, and would only put my best images in collections. It sounds like you are suggesting working within catalogs almost exclusively? Isn't that just creating a duplicate filing system? Also, I understood the hierarchy for Groups, Projects, and Albums. But isn't that just a three tier folder/album structure? What's the purpose of giving them different names, why can't they just be called Albums for example and you can nest them, make smart albums etc just like you showed? I hope you able to reply. I'm not sure why I'm struggling with this move from Lightroom so much lol. I did finally buy C1 Pro (had been testing the free Fuji version for months) so I'm now all in and must learn it. Thanks!
Hey Zac how about using one catalogue between my Mac desktop and my windows laptop is this possible ?
Hello! Yes, this is possible. Ideally you would store the catalog on a NAS drive. You'll need to ensure the catalog is closed on one machine before opening it on the other, as you won't be able to use them at the same time. You may run into issues with images appearing offline in a referenced catalog that require re-connection. It's not an ideal scenario, but from some quick research it does appear that some users have found a way to make this work.
is it possible to move the whole catalog to Harddisks after we edit the photo. can we do that?
Thanks for the question! Yes, certainly possible to move the entire Catalog database file to a different folder or drive, just be sure to have a backup made before moving, just in case.
Amazing info; thanks...
Glad it was helpful!
How do you Projects in your workflow (or do you)? Why or why not?
In my landscape catalog I use projects to hold images from a similar region or park. For example, I use a group for the state and make a project for, say, Death Valley. That way I have many search criteria available to me over a large number of related images. Hope this helps!
When I launch COP24(Capture One Pro 24) in Catalog mode, the loading of my large Catalog is very long. Is this normal? How do you work around this, or do you? If using Sessions and the data is small (new or much smaller Session, loading time is insignificant. Thoughts?
How large is your catalog (rough number of images)? Is the catalog file on an external drive, or local? If the images are on an external drive, is it a reasonable fast drive?
Please explain the relationships between Catalogs>Sessions>Projects - how they are used in your workflow and when. In my case, I typically use PhotoMechanic first to input the metadata from a shoot session (including the media from other photographers in a photo event (for my volunteer organization). Then I ingest them into a common folder (the import folder). From there, I'd like to process the import folder into Capture One (COL24). How to meld my existing workflow into a COL24 workflow?
Projects are virtual organizational tools found in catalogs. When importing a session into a catalog, C1 will place all of the relevant session files into a project, so that the session, now within the catalog, is contained in one place and can be searched within without having to search through the entire catalog (See my catalog video for more).
Great vid! Link to the camper and or the specific name?
Thanks! You can find them at gofastcampers.com/
Hello! I have used sessions for years now but i recently got into catalogs and I have a question: Can i merge one Catalog into another? I hope there is a way because I mistakenly used a Catalog as a temporary solution for a project to edit and rate etc. and now i can not get the work to show in my master catalog that i created days later. I hope you have an Idea on how I can merge the two Catalogs or none at all🤣 maybe i am screwed. I have searched for answers on the Web but could not find anything so i would be very grateful for some Input! Cool videos, i know i will be watching them often as i am learning the ins and outs of CO1.
Thanks for the question! No worries- you're not screwed :-). Just go into your master catalog and select File -> Import Catalog -> Capture One Catalog. C1 will open a browser window which you'll use to navigate to the catalog database file (the file that, when double clicked, opens the catalog in question), and then click "import". This process is very similar to how importing sessions into a catalog works. Hope this helps!
@@zendrson I imported the Catalog into the Master one, but it did not import the changes (Ratings, Color tag and B&W) i made to the pictures... Is there a way i can also import the settings and not only link the files? Because when i Import from a Session, i get literally every setting along with the pictures. When i Imported the Catalog i did not see the changes i made. I hope you understand my question xD
Zackzac this is super useful, very clear and pracrical! I have howere started with catalogs ... And worse moving the images inside the catalog.... How can i unpack that catalog all again, regroup in sessions and then group the sessions in a new catalog Help 😮
Not to worry! In the Library tool tab you'll see a section that says "folders". Click the "+" button next to "folders" and Capture One will bring up a browser window. Here, you can make as many new folders as necessary on whatever hard drive you'd like the photos to actually be placed. Each new folder you make will appear in Capture One's "Folders" section underneath "In Catalog". Once you have all the folders that you need, simply navigate to the images in Capture One that you want to move outside of the catalog and drag them over to the new folder that you've created. C1 will remind you that you're moving files around on the hard drive, which you'll say "ok" to. Just do this as many times as needed. There are other ways to do this, but I'd say this is the most straightforward, and doesn't require exporting and then re-importing images into C1. Hope this helps!
I have both Adobe Lightroom classic and capture One. Are used capture One in my flash photography in my studio because it's tethering is clearly superior to Adobe Lightroom classic. The complaint however offered by many regarding capture One is that it is overly complex. It is a great program but just watching your video demonstrates my point regarding complexity. Quite frankly this design is extremely cumbersome and laborious. Sure once set up it probably would be much better but it is again a disappointment in how complicated capture one seems to make everything even the simple task of saving images to a folder.
Time and practice!
Thank you Zac! super helpful tutorials. I still don't know why I would use catalogs instead of just keeping different sessions for different shoots. I know, personal preference but I am really looking for a reason to use catalogs any foresight?
Glad you find them useful! Like you said, it’s all about preference and your desired workflow. A Catalog’s primary strength is searching for individual images within a vast library, and perhaps over a variety of different hard drives. If you’re keywording a lot and prefer to search for individual images based off of metadata, catalogs can be a great asset. If sessions are working for you, or if your images are clearly defined by the individual shoot they were a part of, then the benefit of catalogs may be minimal and you may best be served by continuing to use sessions.
Maybe a stupid question but in a workflow where i delete images from my user collection in catalog it is replaced to the trash. If i look to the original source the image is still there and i can still open and edit it in capture one. Is there a way to sync these 2 folders so that also if i delete a image permanently via user collection it gets also removed in my original source (let's say external hard drive)
Not a stupid question at all! You are correct, when you "delete" a photo while in a catalog C1 will send the photo to the catalog trash. If you navigate to the catalog trash folder, found in the library tool tab, you have the ability to select some or all of the images in the trash, right click, and select "delete from disk". This will remove the original file from the hard drive that Capture One is using to view the image. Hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear that more than you’ll ever know.
Im kind of confuse. So I don't really need to use Sessions if I never tether? I feel like I like it better how I use Lightroom. a single catalog that houses 60,000 photos and I have collection sets and collections and smart collections to organize all those files. Also I don't do photoshoots for clients. I do landscape photography for my self. So I don't feel I have the need to separate the catalog in to smaller catalogs
Sessions are great for dynamically managing files- meaning they can be easily moved around and organized into folders. This is a great strength for tethered shooting scenarios. Sessions are also great for browsing other files that aren't already inside a session or catalog. If you don't need that kind of functionality, then catalogs are definitely the way to go. The choice between Lightroom and Capture One comes down to what you're currently using, your preference for whichever raw processor you find most appealing, and other tools in the software :-)
Great explanation for a newbie. Thanks
