wedding photography where you create and name a session for each wedding e.g "1992 March, Williamson and Livingstone, St Johns Edinburgh". I think they are ideal for photographers who only work in discrete projects e.g.
Within a session you have most of the C1 catalogue search and sort tools, but whether sessions are a good idea depends on how you want to work. Can't even connect my digi camera and import from there when I have some digi photos (if you have Nikon, you might be able to, see my Aperture -> C1Pro thread in here).
Importing is so far the biggest PITA with C1Pro. Can't even connect my digi camera and import from there when I have some digi photos (if you have Nikon, you might be able to, see my Aperture -> C1Pro thread in, I'm converting from Aperture to C1Pro, but using catalogues rather than sessions, so I've no input into that part. I'm thinking of using Smart Albums based partly on keywords, but the past corpus is probably incompletely and rather randomly keyworded! I'm finding it difficult to devise a User Collections structure and corresponding import strategy that works for me. However, subsequent imports of new batches of images (actually film scans, so quite small) did not match that structure. I'd guess the same would happen if you did an import from LR, but that IS just guessing, and may not be what you want anyway.

I did imports from Aperture, and the User Collections part created as a result is a reasonable match for my Aperture structure (which in turn is a good match to the Mac folder structure). But no promises, obvs.Īlso, you can't use Smart Albums in the Folders part. The webinar narrator said he thought it was a good idea as an option, and had suggested it to the devs. However, there's no way AFAICS (and confirmed in the most recent webinar I watched) that the User Collections part of the panel will automatically mirror the file structure. With a catalogue, the Folders part of the Library panel is an exact match of my Mac disk structure wrt imported files. Many, I'm converting from Aperture to C1Pro, but using catalogues rather than sessions, so I've no input into that part. a session?Īs I say I would prefer to use sessions if possible but just wanted to see if anyone else is doing as I want to and if my ideas are feasible? Or is there a way to sub categories sessions, could using Albums or Smart Albums be a good way to organising files within.
so it got me thinking should I actually be using a catalog workflow even though I’m not large scale, but this time round (unlike I didn’t with Lr which is where I think I got frustrated), just import the files using my already made filling structure - Year -> type of photography -> month and not letting C1 make the structure. However today it occurred to me that one thing I may face, is I could end up with loads of images/files by the end of the year in say the ‘Garden Bird’ folder (session), but with no sub structure like months. So I would have 2021 (master folder) > then sessions being the sub folders, for example one would be called ‘Garden Birds’, another ‘Garden Macro’ and so on. Now my plan was to use a sessions workflow (get me away from catalog which was one thing I wasn’t a fan of in LrC) where by I would create a different sessions for each type of photography under a year dated master folder, as being a weekend hobbiest I would end up with large scales of images in the grand scheme of things. After spending the last few weeks getting to grips with C1 (using a test session), I am no ready to actually link my actual images/raw files into it.
