I'm going to have a closer look at Graham's suggestions, but I'm on a PC and Neofinder appears to be Mac only. You have to save the C1 processed image to another format and reimport (or resynch) back to LR. The issue is that while it will send a raw image to Capture One, there is no way to send the processed image back to Lightroom as a raw file. If you're planning on keeping Lightroom as your DAM and using Capture One as your raw processor, then I would recommend a plugin by John Beardsworth called Open Directly.

So I now have the benefits of C1 sessions, plus the ability to search across all session folders with Neofinder. The difference is that I now just leave the output files (Tiffs and Jpegs, plus PSDs from round tripping to Photoshop) in the C1 sessions as Neofinder allows me to create smart folders and searches across all output folders across all sessions. A top level folder called sessions, second level folders for Year, and then third level folder for months and finally project level folders which hold the actual session folders. The C1 sessions are arranged very like yours. But I still copy the files from there into C1 sessions. I now use Neofinder as my Dam and it can catalogue the C1 session folders, so I still have a similar set up, but use Neofinder instead of LR to catalogue the Year-Month-Day folders with the raw files. I also round trip to Photoshop for final editing so the Photoshop PSDs were also catalogued. This meant duplicating the files, but I saw this as part of my back up procedure.Īll finished files were saved as TIffs or JPegs, depending on purpose, into folders which LR also catalogued. So only files I knew I wanted to work on ended up in C1 sessions. and I used LR publish to Hard drive services to send "copies" of RAW files into appropriate sessions, which were arranged by project. I had the raw files in system folders organised by Year-Month-Day, which were catalogued by LR I used to integrate LR and C1, using LR as a DAM, and C1 sessions for processing.

Not sure what you mean by integrating with Lightroom, as you also suggest you are planning to move over to C1.

So, if you are integrating a Capture One workflow into LightRoom, I would love to hear how you are doing it and what you feel are the benefits and pitfalls. This would seem to obviate the need for LR, and while it might be the most sensible way to do it, I'm hesitant to make that jump, at least right now. I could see invoking it into a session based workflow simply by creating a session in each folder. I've honed this structure over a number of years, and it works well for me. When ingesting my images, I'm exceedingly diligent about filing images into a well defined folder/naming scheme. The question is, is it possible to fold that into my current LR based cataloging scheme? Further, if it is possible, does it make sense? Combine that with the cataloging in C1 being a bit problematic has me leaning toward a session based workflow. After a bit of playing around, I started doing some reading about a session based workflow and am intrigued. As I'm coming from a catalog based workflow in LR my first inclination was to jump into that. I'm playing a bit with C1, and am vacillating between a session based workflow and a catalog based workflow. The ease that C1 creates images that are as I see them in my head is lightyears ahead of LR.ĭon't get me wrong, I could get what I wanted out of LR, it just took an inordinate amount of time. Recently, I've jumped into the Capture One pond with both feet. I'm a "fairly" longterm LR user starting with version 5.
