Photo Supreme

Im still struggling with PSu not being able to give me a decent render in the thumbnails to represent the work done in C1. I can start with the crop. Cropping in C1 does not appear in PSu for me at all. So my workaround for now (experimenting still) is to create JPG and TIF in C1.

For those of you ...

Hert,

Tested just bringing in the NEF's (directly to PSu not from C1) and was much much faster.

Your NEF files probably have C1 edits? Unless you've disabled c1 support PSU will have to interpret your edits and apply them to the raw image while building thumb/preview.

Hert,

Ahhh Grasshopper ...

Ok this is now making some sense. I have been experimenting and noticing that the import does ...

@weidmic

Was the import / thumbnail creation any faster now?
My setting is 1680px and 90%

It seemed a bit faster with the DB on the SSD internal to the machine. Still tool longer than it takes for say C1 to create its thumbnails.

Another interesting thing, I took a copy of the DB up north this ...

OT: Read you came back from Nassau.
Any insidertip what to do there other than going to the zoo which we enjoyed last time?
Unfortunately we are only there for a couple of hours...

Hi weidmic,

If you have longer in Nassau I would encourage you to take the Power Boat Adventure tour. Its $210 ...

Im now at 75K+ Photos in PSu and running the Postgres Server version.

The thumb nailing process for me has seemed to be slowing as I have built up the DB. I run 1600px at 85% for the thumbnails and the NEFs are D810 Raw photos.

I am importing a 660 photo shoot, and Im 4 hours into it and the thumb ...

I know that works for you, but isn't that contrary to "best practice?" What if, let's say, you switched from Capture One to another RAW editor, for instance Lightroom.

Im guessing at that time I would have to have C1 write out the XMP files, then move to the new program.

Hi Gents,

I was in, well ... Nassau for a bit shooting. Sorry but just back and able to catch up .. Trailing over the next couple weeks so won't have a ton of time, but will do my best when I can to test things out.

Right or wrong I was not using XMP files, I write changes to the RAW file. Its ...

HI All,

I just returned from a trip and will experiment again with this. I don't use the XMP sidecars so not sure if this made a difference in my experimenting. I also just upgraded to C1 9.1, my other testing was done in the prior version.

My method was (still experimenting) that I create a C1 ...

You don't write labels back to the XMP sidecar files for your RAW files?

Phil

Phil,
I write them back to the RAW file.For me it works. Round trips to Capture One.

Voted in the 50K - 100K and currently at 80K.
So far Im happy with performance (Just wish the browsing view was faster)
Cataloging is quick, easy and love I can write back the labels to the raw file.

Switching the application to Travel Mode is done by selecting the option “Travel Mode” from the File menu. The Travel Mode is recognizable by the main toolbar’s red colour.

Im using the Server Version of PSu. I don't see the travel mode option on the file menu on PSu. Just wondering if this ...

@Stephen.

Yes Im running El Capitan.

@Stephen,

YEs Im a former Aperture user also. Exited quickly when I saw the writing on the wall and Aperture was sundowned. I knew Photos would not cut it and suspect never will. Also there is no need for Apple to make it a Pro type product as the Pro people have now moved on. I still love apple. I ...

@HSC
Thanks very much for the information. Appreciate it.
