Capture One - Session Culling & Photo Rating Tutorial

- čas přidán 2. 08. 2024
- In this video we discuss the myriad of tools available in Capture One for culling, sorting, and rating your photos. I also talk about the difference between a session and a catalog, and why I prefer one over the other. A somewhat strategy heavy video upfront with hard drive management, so please hang in there!

I have been using Lightroom for very many years and have just decided to move to Capture One. I was told 'you will find it a really steep learning curve', but I haven't. I find it better designed than LR, more capable in a number of respects and nice to use.
But I didn't really get the whole sessions thing until I watched this video - your explanation makes it very clear and I do see now how it could be useful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! If you have ideas for other videos, please me me know!
so happy to have found this. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thanks so much for posting this video!
Happy to help!
Very helpful. Thank you.
David Enzel, I am happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for other videos. Cheers!
Still wrestling with C1 after coming from LR, but your helping me quite a bit. My question is similar to one already asked. When you click on “capture” it brings up all your images and pretty much fills up the whole screen. When I do the same it will only fill up half the screen, so I am seeing fewer images than what you are showing on your screen. I have clicked on everything I can think of but still not enlarging. Any thoughts. I am on a mac. Thanks
Doing a live stream today. I can take a moment to talk about that.
Great video! Thanks for your information. Does this method still applies in August of 2021?
My question is, how do you move the trash folder outside de session and where do you put it and how to link it to the session. Thank you.
Hey there! Yup, all of this is still valid. You can decide where the trash goes easiest by using the Capture One context menu that pops up when you use file explorer. You can click on any folder and select "Set as Delete" and C1 will dump stuff there. Cheers!
Does a "session" get overwritten when you import a new set of pictures ?
If not, is the a quick way of deleting a session, other than going into "users"
and manually deleting it ? Otherwise a drive will quickly be filled up.
each session is am island and can be deleted as it is a simple directory. I love this because I know exactly what I want to backup and what I can delete.
Hi, have you been able to make that backup video? You mentioned in this video that you were planning to make that video and I'd be really interested to see and learn from that video. Thank you!
Actually working on it now. Hope to have it done soon.
Would love to see your dodge and burn method / techniques for C1
I might just have to make a video on that!
How can I view all my images in the capture folder like you have on this video?
I didn't think there was anything special about this view. It is just the Capture folder contents in the browser. Is there something specific in here that you want to see?
I just recently purchased capture one 12 and I am so confused, can you HELP me?
what is tripping you up the most?
Where to find my images after completion, and how to delete images when finish.
@@lintoncoke5094 what do you mean by "delete images when finished?"
Finding where my finished image is located.
Is it possible to delete a session?
WAIT! how do you do the same trash for everything trick?
ya lost me. did I speed through some step?
@@sedetweiler You mentioned that you can use the same trash folder for every project. Didn't know that was possible.
@@ericleszkowicz898 the easy way is to open your file explorer while capture one has the session open you want to modify. locate the directory you want to use for trash in the windows explorer, and right-click and choose Capture One - Trash. You can also do this in capture one by just finding the directory you want to use for trash and designating it as the trash.
Very nice👌👉
I'm confused, I don't see any information for picking the images, say for example assigning an image a color with keyboard shortcuts.
most of those are in the keyboard shortcuts menu options, or you can right click on an image to assign a color
Sorry, I think I initially misunderstood your question. Picked images are those moved to the "selects" folder. There is no flag like in lightroom, as you can do that same thing with stars, colors, etc. The real power comes in moving the images you plan to keep out of the crowd of images you can delete in the future.
Very good overview!
Ctrl-Space does not zoom for me (C1 Version 20 Express)
It is also known as loupe, so check your keyboard shortcuts to see what it might be set to.
@@sedetweiler Thanks Scott, I was able to find out that the default keyboard shortcut is "P" and that there is no Loupe in C1 Express. :-(
@@sedetweiler On your video, when using the loupe shortcut (ctrl space) your tool does not change.
In Mac C1 20, it does. (P default shortcut) and you then need to reverse to the tool you were using before.
@@Vercoquin64 that might also be because I changed P to be "move to selects" since I was moving from Lightroom at the time. Control (or Command) Space should work at any time without needing to have the Loupe tool active.
@@sedetweiler Actually Ctrl space does not. And neither does cmd space, which is by default attributed to spotlight on Mac (global search) and to Siri (long press). I could not get it to work either by changing the spotlight shortcut. Could not find either a shorcut for cmd space in C1. Nevertheless, not a big deal, I'll use P.
I talk crazy fast in my videos too, 195 wpm! 😂
I should test mine! :-)
My edits also speed up my rate, since I take out big breaths and generally try to edit my videos really tight
There are some REALLY nice features here in C1 that I was not aware of until now. I've downloaded and tried C1 a couple of times, and it never grabbed me, but this has me wanting to give it another try.
@@spyrosheniadis just wait until you see the exporting! Holy awesome!
Based on what you were saying, I think I'll love the exporting/recipes options. I've make my own exporting automations (we have pretty similar workflows), previously with Photoshop Droplets and Automator on mac, but I've actually been moving to a mobile editing workflow (Affinity Photo on iPad Pro 12.9. SUPER excited for PS for iPad), and so I'm currently using Siri Shortcuts to automate my exporting process.
Get on with the subject!
