Capture One Session or Catalog?

- How to decide when to use a session and when to use a catalog.
Sometimes you need a fast, lightweight solution and sometimes you need a place to store a bunch images. Capture One is all about solving problems for photographers, so they offer two completely different ways of organizing images. Both methods offer the same set of professional image editing tools, it all just comes down to how you are capturing and organizing your work.

Hi Robert. Just found your channel. This first video was very intuitive! Great job!!
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this video!
Thanks so much!
My impression is that for the average Amata just wanting to have their photographs organised, then the system of catalogue or catalogues and then collections with albums, which echoes aperture et cetera works very well. But sessions I can see will be better if you are professional and selling your photographs et cetera
Thanks for taking the time to answer my queries and SOLVING my problem. Just for info sake my camera (fujifilm xE3) does not support tethering. So I will have to load the files, (raw and jpeg) from my camera to my hard drive first then upload them to capture one. Capture one does a good job of working with fuji raw files and Lightroom 4.4 does not. I don't know if Capture one Express will convert my fuji raw files, once my 30 day free trial runs out.
Sure, Ted, no problem! I agree, I prefer C1's rendering of files to LR. Yes, Capture One Express for Fujifilm will edit your raw files. It has fewer tools, but still has the core C1 raw processing engine.
I shoot for HS yearbooks. I save all my assignments in Windows Folders with the schools name, date shot and the event that was covered that day. I need to leave those folders as is. I want to open the individual assignment's folder, crop, edit and also delete images I dont want. What would be the BEST way for me to do this? Thanks!
Great job of explaining. CO does a great job of editing but image management is ridiculously convoluted and overly complex IMO.
I know what you're mean. Most confusion comes from trying to adapt a library structure into C1 session. Ideally,, you take individual projects into Sessions, then once you have that organized using the C1 folder structure, you then import those Sessions into a Catalog.
Hi, ty for the video. Very confused, (not just on your video). Catalogues, collections, albums, folders, groups. I don't see the delineation for these terms. How do they function in a standard workflow? This is not an easy transition from L/r ...
I think just use catalogues and collections then its the same as LR?

Wow. Super helpful. I have about 40,000 images now stored on two hard drives (one main, one backup). My photos are organized into separate folders and labeled by date and subject. How complicated would that be to migrate to C1? If I created a session for each of my existing folders, where would my Capture One session adjustments reside? Would I drop that Capture One session folder in each of my existing photo folders that I have already created? The organizing part sounds much more complicated than the actual photo editing part! Thanks for you help!
With sessions, the adjustments are stored in folders where the images are stored. So you could use one session for all the folders if you wanted, or create one per folder. Another option would be create a catalog and import the images using the "Add to catalog" option to keep the images in the current folders. In this case, the adjustments would be stored inside the catalog instead of in folders.
@@RobertRead3 Thank you so much Robert!
As a beginner it's too much too fast
Hey Ted, sorry about that. Anything in particular that I can help with?
Thanks for reply am I able to upload raw file directly from my Fuji camera to my hard drive via capture one
Yes, generally the top end Fuji cameras do support tethering with Capture One, and it is possible to upload raw images as you shoot. If you are not sure if your camera supports tethering, you can check this list: www.captureone.com/en/resources/tech-specs/camera-support-fujifilm
