beginner's questions: keywords, JPG+RAW etc

[guill69f]

Hi,

I have activated the trial version of Photo Supreme and I have some questions in mind:

• is it possible to export keyword lists from Photo Supreme to my desktop, in case I would like to import the list into another program?

• is there a way to automatically generate xmp files while doing edits in Photo

• if I shoot JPG+RAW with my camera, is there a way to see only one thumbnail for the 2 versions of a given picture? apaprently it is possible during the import process (found a video from ID Imager on that), but it is not working for me, maybe I am doing something wrong

• and last, for now, I have noticed that all my edits in Photo Supreme (keywords, rating etc) are properly manage in Capture One, except (1) colour tags and (2) keyword synonyms, which are not at all ported to C1. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Go to the menu: Data - Export to Formatted Vocabulary File.

• is there a way to automatically generate xmp files while doing edits in Photo

I shoot only RAW these days and Photo Supreme automatically creates the XMP files. Settings related to this are located under: Preferences - Synchronize Settings - Write settings.

They are written to XMP. Maybe C1 can explain why they are not read in C1.

Go to the menu: Data - Export to Formatted Vocabulary File

Shame on me: I opened this menu many times but did not see the "Export" among all the other "Import" commands

Settings related to this are located under: Preferences - Synchronize Settings - Write settings.

thanks, got it to work now, that's perfect. I see that hidden there there are also some keyword related options, including that should enable to export synonyms of keywords if I get it right.

They are written to XMP. Maybe C1 can explain why they are not read in C1.

Yes, i could do that. But i am also testing Photo Mechanic now, and they have developed some configuration files which match the rating / colour information to the raw editor you are using so that values assigned under PM are transferred to Capture One. Maybe I'll find on this forum users who have found a solution in their workflow

I have found some odd issues with C1 and color labels. You need to check the settings in C1 as far as how metadata is written. I've played around with those settings but couldn't get it to work for my needs.

One odd thing in C1 is that if you have a RAW with "Yellow" but the matching jpg not color labeled in PhotoSupreme C1 will apply the color label of the RAW to the jpg - at least as far as it's displayed. Changing the RAW to another color in PSu results in some odd issues too.

C1 also uses a "None" as a color label and PhotoSupreme doesn't (nor L as I recall) so when changing a color label in C1 to None it actually writes that to the metadata.

I should note that this was with v9 and I think an early release of v10. I'm not sure how it all works with the latest version as I don't rely on color labels if I'm going to use C1.

C1 unfortunately is notorious for ignoring metadata standards and even corrupting some XMP data, like lens info. This has been discussed at length at various places on this forum. Several PSu users even approached them, complaining about this metadata corruption and were told PSu is at fault.

Did you get an answer for this question (I can't see it in the posts above) I've been irritated by the same issue since I upgraded to V3 from V2 and not been able to work out how to get it to import and just show the RAW thumbnails

Version Sets are displayed as a single thumbnail in the CATALOG->By Category section. In all other section you'll see *the truth*, meaning that when browsing FOLDERS you'll see what is in the folder, regardless if the thumbnail in part of a version set or not.

BTW; this was the same in V2

this is how I have been managing since my original post

When I am viewing photos in a folder, I see two thumbnails for each JPG RAW version set, as designed. To catalogue, I use Filter, and set the Type to just display the RAW photos. This gives me one thumbnail for each version set in the folder. I then rate and catalogue the RAW photos and then use 'Cascade from this version to the Version Set' to apply the cataloguing to all images in the version set.

This works fine when all images in the folder are a JPG RAW version set but may not work for other types of versions.
