![]() I've found some interesting and disturbing bugs that I have reported and hope they address. I'm only dealing with a one day shoot but the edited variants might be the issue.Įxports from C1 when you are ready to move out of the session is a bit of mess. ![]() Still, it's downright sluggish to move around in your session once you get some real weight in there. The speed is usually reasonably fast but the older processor might be part of it. ![]() I'm running an older iMac 27 converted to SSD. Sessions do seem to really slow down on load. It's more convenient than the Aperture Library or C1 Catalog if you need fast access to selected originals or edited files. We're just wrapping up the bulk of our fall run and I've had the chance to really put C1 through its paces. I've been actively converting over to C1 for my volume portrait business. The next step is to then get properly familiar with the search functions, as it is another thing that does not feel quite as friendly as Aperture’s… So now on my computer I have a folder where all the Sessions are stored and at the end of the year this will be imported into the ‘Mega-Catalogue’ as a folder for 2015 work. When importing something this large you better be prepared to leave your computer attached to any necessary external devices, as I was getting an estimated time for completion that is over 20 hours! The total size is about 1.5 Terabytes which is actually not a lot for 7 years of work, because I do tend to ruthlessly throw out stuff I reckon it would have been at least twice that size otherwise. I have started the process of prepping The Old Aperture Library for conversion, and have just imported all of the 2015 work I did before I switched to Capture One. I do find Capture One a little unwieldy/unintuitive at times compared to my experiences with Aperture so this is another reason to keep it simple (don’t get me started on some of odd keyboard shortcuts that keep throwing me!). Mostly I don’t tend to be searching for stuff in the current year so much, so it just feels sensible to keep each job as a Session for now. I find though that any work you have done recently is easier to remember and does not tend to get called upon in quite the same way, also I want to be able to work as fast a possible, so putting all the current year’s work into a single Collection might slow me, as well as the machine, down. The winning model, Fan, from China, Fresh Faces Barcelona competition Of course the advantages of Collections (Libraries in Aperture) is that you can search them and I have found time and time again, in the past, that if a client wanted an image of say ‘ Barcelona’ I had to open the Library for each year and hunt this was both boring and time consuming, so better to just have a everything in the same place. I decided against using a Collection for current work, because though my plan is to mimic my old workflow, which means keeping the current year’s work on the computer, then archiving at year's-end to an external ‘mega-collection,' I actually feel happier and safer treating each new job as a Session. I have said it before, but it’s worth reiterating that I really like what results can be achieved in just Capture One alone and how this also stops me from sometimes overdoing it, when I export out to say, something like Color Efex Pro.īut getting back to the topic of Libraries and their equivalent in Capture One ( Collections) - I have actually found myself eschewing them in favour of Sessions. What brought this about was my looking for some old images for a possible slideshow/exhibition, and when I found them, I got to thinking how they might look if they were reprocessed in Capture One. I imagine this library will keep being used in Aperture until the bitter end then I’ll decide what to do with it.Įverything else though is being switched over, and I am inspired to write this now because I have started the process of preparing my Aperture ‘mega-library’ that contains all past Libraries (by years) for Capture One. These days, I now only have one in-use Aperture Library, dedicated to a particular type of work - that is, shot as JPEGs (I dealt with this issue in my last post). When I started moving most of my workflow to Capture One Pro from Aperture, I assumed I'd use the same file system for storing my files the similarity of the ‘look’ was one of the attributes that appealed to someone who was still in shock at Apple’s announcement to kill off Aperture, and obviously being able to import my old Libraries was a real plus, and helped to convince me that Capture One was the way to go.
