Finally, we’ll tour some really advanced metadata functionality. Then we’ll use what we’ve learned to build an efficient workflow. We’re going to look at the basic metadata functions in Photo Mechanic first. We’ll also leave customizing Photo Mechanic and using it for optimizing images for the web (and maybe more) for future posts.

In this post, we’ll look only at its metadata functionality and assume that you already know how to edit photos with the program. I could write three-thousand-word posts every week for a month or two to cover everything this program can do. And it does a whole lot of other stuff, too. Photo Mechanic makes quick work of dealing with metadata. What you get for your money is a program that does what professionals need it to do, is stable, and gets its part of the job done with the minimum expenditure of sweat from your brow. While it’s not expensive for what you get, it does cost some money. If you’re a photographer, the Nikon D5 or Canon EOS 1D would pop to mind. If you’re a woodworker, it would be the Festool track saw. Photo Mechanic is the high-power tool of metadata editing and photo selection. Photo Mechanic is a powerful metadata editing tool I use several raw image applications and so far the mysessions/sessionname/Capture structure works for all.Photo Mechanic’s Copy Options dialog includes the option to add metadata as files are being copied. Capture One also creates/updates session house-keeping data in the Capture folder. Capture One adopts the Capture folder if it already exists, creates said sibling folders and the database file. Capture One will do that: File->New session, Name=sessionname, Location=. PM does not create the sibling folders (Selects, Output, Trash), nor does PM create the session database file sessiondb. It that destination folder does not exist, PM creates the folder //Capture and populates it. Here of course refers to some real location on my system. On my system, the default destination folder is //Capture. My workflow is a little different in that I use the PM ingest function to get raw image files from memory card to the final destination. Possibly ok with the dummy-session concept, but I never liked that. If I remember this correctly, Capture One must be running and have the correct session open.

> Ian Wilson: 6.work from within Photo Mechanic and drag. I don't know enough about Photo Mechanic to say whether this would move them or copy them.ĭoes that make sense? Does any of those look like what you are doing, and if so what happens when you do?

You could work from within Photo Mechanic and drag the images from the RAW FILES folder to the CAPTURE folder.

You could import the images from the camera into the CAPTURE folder in the first place, but use Photo Mechanic to rate and select them.Īgain this depends on whether you really need the images to be in the RAW FILES folder at all to begin with for other reasons.

This depends on whether you really want the files to be in RAW FILES.

You could leave the images in the RAW FILES folder and simply add that folder as a session favourite in Capture One.

(This is wasteful of disc space as it involves storing two copies of the files.) But there would still be copies in the original RAW FILES folder too. The result of this would be that in Capture One you would see the images when you looked in the CAPTURE folder.

You could use Windows File Explorer and copy the files from RAW FILES to CAPTURE.

They would no longer be in the original RAW FILES folder.

You could use Windows File Explorer and move the files from RAW FILES to CAPTURE.

(They would no longer be in their original location.) The result of this would be that the files would be moved on disc from RAW FILES to CAPTURE.

You could work from within Capture One and drag the images from RAW FILES to CAPTURE (using the Capture One Library tool.

If you want to see the images in one of the session folders - let's say the CAPTURE folder - you could do a number of things. You have a session and it has the standard subfolders, that is CAPTURE, SELECTS, OUTPUT, and TRASH.

Let's say the raw files are in a folder called RAW FILES.
