Either way, you may choose to import only selected files to streamline the database and browsing. This allows you to maintain original files intact.
If you archive files on a remote server or external drive that you don’t use daily, you may want to copy files to your “working” external drive when importing, instead of importing to the Current Location.
When importing I opt to use the “Current Location.” That prevents the files from being duplicated during import, saving valuable hard drive space. You can start with the default Catalog, then add more as the need arises, or simply continue to import files and build the original Catalog.Īt the same time that you create a Catalog, you import images to build this collection. The first window gives you the option to create and name a Catalog Collection in which you can start importing images and organizing your files. Steps 1 and 2 get you started using Capture One Pro 7. I keep my Catalog on my computer’s internal drive while working on images stored in various locations. For me, that yields a much more user-friendly and flexible workflow.Ī Catalog in Capture One Pro 7 has the benefit of letting you work on images that are offline (on a remote server or unmounted hard drive, for instance), provided, of course, that you keep the Catalog images on your working computer or otherwise accessible. Now, while not abandoning Sessions for past users, V7 lets you assemble images into Catalog Collections, or simply Catalogs-a concept familiar to Lightroom users. In the past, Capture One Pro operated primarily by importing images as a Session, which, for example, could be a photo shoot. Capture One Pro initially opens with a Library window, and V7 makes a major departure from earlier releases in how it allocates digital asset management, and that’s what I’ll focus on in the first part of this review.
