Capture One Export opening Lightroom

Out of the blue, when I am exporting a file from Capture One to a folder, Lightroom is opening to import it. Capture One is set to "Open with None". Yesterday, it did't do that and I don't believe I changed anything in either application. Is there a setting I am missing in Lightroom? Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Where's the folder?
Is Lr set to "Show import dialog when a memory card is selected" in Edit > Preferences... > General?
(Can't see why this would cause what you describe, but it's where I'd start).

How to transfer Capture One catalog to Lightroom

Does anyone know how to transfer the "starred" or marked images to lightroom, to then continue editing?
Thanks

Applescript/shells script for capture one

Hey,
Wanting a script that will take the last item copied to the clipboard (which will be a folder name), search for it in finder, in "this mac", and then open the folder in Capture One. It would be great if it were ready to run, so I could launch it each time with a keystroke. Any one willing to help me on this. Thanks so much!!
I know a little applescript, but this one is kind of out of my league, I think, at least.

Hi,
You can use this script in an Automator Service (you can assign a keystroke combination to this service).
If the script find one folder whose name equal the contents of the clipboard, "Capture One" will open this folder.
if the script finds multiple folders whose name equal the contents of the clipboard, it will do nothing, because I don't know what you want in this case.
To create a service, you start by selecting New from Automator's File menu.
You should select the Service option, which is accompanied by a gear icon, clic "Choose" button.
In your new service, you will see a bar at the top of the Automator flow pane. It has combo boxes that allow you to set filters that establish the conditions in which your service should be made accessible. You want to make a service that receives selected "No Input" and will operate in any application or select an application.
Add the "Run Shell Script" action
Copy/paste this script in the action:
folder=$(mdfind "kMDItemFSName = \"$(pbpaste -Prefer txt)\" && kMDItemContentType = \"public.folder\"")
if [ -z $folder ];then exit 0;fi ## no match
tot=$(wc -l <<< "$folder")
if [ $tot -eq 1 ]; then open -b 'com.phaseone.captureone7' "$folder"; fi
Replace the bundle identifier in this script --> 'com.phaseone.captureone7'
To know the bundle identifier of your "Capture One" application, run this AppleScript, copy the result to change the bundle identifier in the shell script
tell application "Finder" to get id of (application "Capture One")
Save the service, quit Automator
The final step is to assign a keystroke combination to the newly created service.
Open the System Preferences application and navigate to the Keyboard preference pane, and select the Shortcuts tab.
From the list on the left of the preference pane, select the Services category.
A list of the installed services will be displayed to the right.
Scroll to the last category titled General, and locate the service you just created.
Double-click to the far right of the service name to activate the keystroke input field and then type the key combination you wish to assign to the service.
Close the System Preferences application.

Anyway to share original files from Aperture with Capture One & Lightroom

I would like to use the 10,000 RAW files I have downloaded with Aperture and be able to use them in Capture One and play with Lightroom. I could export the Originals but then I would be doubling or even tripling the space needed to use these 3 programs. All three programs have different advantages and would like to be able to use all three. I'm sure Apple doesn't want anyone to use anything but Aperture but in the real world, Aperture can't do all the things I want to do.
I have found the originals in Aperture (show package contents) but each picture seems to be in a seperate folder and not altogether in a central folder.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Best is way is as Jeff says, use referenced files, then to open a raw file with Capture One simply select it in Aperture's browser, ctrl+click (right click) on it and 'show in finder'. From there drag it to Capture One and done.
To automatically import the result to Apertue you can use a hot folder where the processed file from Capture One should be saved to.
I also need to process sometimes raw images in Capture One, specially those with coloured tungsten lighting. Capture One's white balance is way much better than Aperture's.

JPGs exported from Lightroom 5.6 will not open in other applications

Recently I have noticed that jpgs exported from Lightroom 5.6 can not be opened in Canon DPP 3.14 and can not be resized using Image Resizer plugin. Both of these I use frequently.
I have seen mention of this issue re other applications also. Does anyone know if there is a solution?
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. 5D Mark ii

This was an issue with 5.5 (the placement of some of the internal headers of the jpgs was changed and some other applications, including DPP, could not open them), but was corrected in 5.6. I just checked on it by exporting a jpg and opening it with no problem in DPP 3.14.15, Windows 7 x64. Are your jpgs old ones from LR 5.5?

Can an iPhoto library be shared with Lightroom and capture one?

Since Aperture is being replaced by … nothing, how can I access the same library with multiple editors?

Neither iPhoto, Lightroom nor Capture One are editors. They are all database driven Photo Managers with non-destructive processing. There is no rational workflow that would use more than one of these apps, any more than it would make sense to write a novel in three different word processors at the same time.
Pick the one that suits your needs - if you're coming from Aperture then forget iPhoto, it's much less capable and also being end-of-lifed. Pick between Lightroom and Capture One. Then google the options for migration from Aperture to the one you choose.

HELP, I can't open Lightroom 5, all I get is a screen that asks me to select a catalog, but it wont even let me create a catalog without picking ONE picture at a time.......I'm lost

I'm ready to scream, I NEED to actually SPEAK TO A HUMAN, not type over and over what is wrong, and none of the support pages get me to a helpful point.

Sorry, this is a Lightroom user-to-user forum and LR users are devoid of all human characteristics. Nevertheless, maybe we can help. If LR is presenting you with a list of catalogs and asking you to pick one, you must have created several in the past. (Yoi would be better off with just one, but we'll leave that aside for the moment.) Pick one and open it. Now, either use the Import button at the bottom left corner or use the File menu entry "Import Photos and Videos". When the Import page opens select in the left side panel the location of the photos to be imported - a folder in your computer or a card reader or an attached camera. In the central area check all the photos to be imported and at the top tell LR if you want them left where they are now ("Add") or copied to another location. If the latter, in the right side panel select the destination and name of the sub-folder. Click Import and you're finished

Lightroom vs Capture One

I just got a dutch Photo Mag that compared Lightroom 2 to Capture One 4. I was amazed at the conclusion Capture One won the contest, based upon image quality results. I immediately downloaded a 30 day trial and compared LR, PS cS3 and CO side by side on my 30inch HD cinema display. Yes I could see a difference, especially that CO is able to deliver a bit more contrast while still keeping dark areas visible. It's difficult to compare sharpening because values don't match (compared LR 100-0,8 to CO 170-0,8).
Anyone working with Capture One and willing to share experiences?
Thank you.

I did a lot of work on this a while ago - C1 is very popular in the Leica M8 world. Bottom line is that a lot of the perceived difference in color is really a different tone curve. An LR brightness setting of about 35 gives a similar tone curve to C1.
If you want dig into enormous detail around color differences between LR, Aperture and C1, go here:
http://chromasoft.blogspot.com/2008/01/lightroom-aperture-and-capture-one-mini_24.html
Note however that the work above was pre-DNG profiles, it applies to old ACR type rendering.
I also posted some settings on how to get C1-like colors from Lightroom here:

How does one import Capture One 7.0 Pro files into Lightroom 5.3?

I'm trying to import CR2 files from Capture One Pro 7.0 into Lightroom 5.3. I've done this before but this time around LR5 is not seeing the files yet I know they're there.

Ok, I poorly communicated. I realize that the CR2 files came from my Canon camera. I made an assumption that the issue had something to do with the files being in a Capture One folder. It didn't make sense to me why I could view the files in a finder window. I had too many images in subfolders to drag and drop or move them. They were organized in Capture One subfolders from the shoot.
I also realize that the files are no more in Capture One then they are in LR.
Right after I posted this I decided to quit LR and restart my computer.
Issue resolved.
No idea what the issue was but it's moot.
Thank you both for the reply.

Current Lightroom / Camera Raw Camera Profile for Sony ILCE-6000 inaccurate: green cast in shadows! Capture one better! Please fix it!

Hi folks from Adobe!
Please take note that the current Lightroom / Adobe Camera Raw Camera Profile for the Sony ILCE-6000 is very inaccurate: There is a serious green cast in the shadows!
Capture One Express for Sony (which is free by the way) renders a lot more correctly!
Please correct this, since I'd rather buy the coming LR6 because of keeping my established workflow instead of going the Capture One route.
A good example can be found in the dpreview forum "LR5 A6K shadow pulling, a mess! Adobe LR is broken? "
Or search for Philp Reeves 3 weeks with the Sony A6000 review "3 Wochen mit der a6000", where he compares it to the Sony A7, using both times Lightroom to push the shadows.
The Sony A7 is fine where earth looks like brown earth, the A6000 picture looks like grass instead.
Please fix this! This is a high volume camera frequently bought by enthusiast or as second body for FF photographers. That would be really great!

I am talking about the two raw files linked in the very last post of page 6 of the Reeves comparison thread, not JPGs or screenshots of unknown manipulation. In LR they both say f/11 and ISO 100 and have a similar tone, but one is shot at twice the shutter speed as the other. This side-by-side is using Adobe Factory Defaults for each image where the profile is Adobe Standard, the toning sliders are all 0, tone-curve linear, and the Sharpening and Color NR are 25:
However, when I look at the camera-embedded JPGs, side-by-side, the 1/80th image on the left is darker than the 1/40th image on the right, as expected given the reported shutter-speed difference:
And it is indeed the darker image that has more shadow problems, also as expected.
When I do manipulate the darker (a6000) raw file in LR, I do see that the shadows are greenish when brightened unlike most other cameras which usually show magenta, which is the combination of the blue and red sensors showing more noise because there are half-as-many photosites as compared to the green, so I am seeing what people are complaining about and would expect shadow noise to be purple not green, I'm more concerned that these two example raws aren't actually comparable due to apparent differences in exposure. It is also odd that the lens listed in LR is different than the lens listed in the filename, so either someone has mistakenly or deliberately renamed the file wrong or someone or something has changed the EXIF parameters that LR is reporting to be the same when they're really not.

Capture One to Lightroom transition process

I have many images that I have processed in Capture One. Now I want to transition to Lightroom and import them into LR. Will I still retain the edits I have made to the RAW files in Capture One once that program is uninstalled from the computer? I am using Windows 7 as the OS.
Alice S

Keith,
Thank you for the added information. I may have misinterpreted what I saw; I was working late at night and was very tired. That apparent recognition of C1 Raw edits in Ltrm has not happened again.
So I will continue to pull out the Tiff and JPG Output files I’ve made in C1 over the last year, putting them all in one folder, with subject subfolders, for backup to an external hard drive just in case.
This is taking some time due to my poor filing system (also to be fixed) and the way some Output files are “buried” within layers of other folders within the Capture One folder.
Once this is complete, I intend to uninstall C1, as having two Raw editing programs is unnecessarily complicated for me, and I find Lightroom easier to understand.
What happens to the RAW files that were processed in C1 when it is uninstalled? Are they still there to be used by Ltrm? There are likely some good images in these batches that I haven’t gotten around to processing yet.

Can I open Lightroom without upgrading my catalog?

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do a screen capture, so I'll try to type what I'm seeing.
When I click on the LIghtroom icon, I get a message box that says "Please upgrade the catalog file "Lightroom Catalog 3" for use with Lightroom 3. It continues "Lightroom will create a new catalog file in the destination indicated below. The previews will also be moved to the location and converted for use in Lightroom 3" Upgrade destination C:/Documents and Settings/...../Lightroom 3 Catalog-7.lrcat
There is a button to choose a different catalog, upgrade or exit.
When I open the button to change catalogs, it gives me one option, but when I click on it, I go back to the "Lightroom will create a new catalog"
My concern with upgrading is that I've a workflow for the catalog that's at C:/Documents and Settings/..../Lightroom 3 Catalog-5.lrcat Earlier today, I clicked on the dialog that resulted in a catalog at Lightroom Catalog-6.lrcat, but when I opened it, I'd lost all the listings for the Free Agent drive (usually G:/ where I do my daily uploads. I could still see the external hard drive (E:) where I save edited work, but it indicated that I would have to locate all of the folders I'd created on the E: drive. I saw only the default collections on the left hand side -- (smart collections, last month, etc.).
I finally was able to get back to Lightroom 3 Catalog-5, which had all the work, but I'm not sure how to recover all my collections and folders if I Lightroom creates a new catalog at a destination that has a different number. The problem is that now I can't seem to open Lightroom 3 at all -- when I click on Change, I don't see my catalog 5 in the default folder. I know I found it once before, and it became an option on the pulldown menu. But I don't want to have to keep finding it on the drive where I store it so I can keep my indexing and folder and catalog organization.
Lightroom 3 Catalog 5.lrcat works fine for me. My default for backing up is whenever I close the program, so I'm confident in it's integrity. How can I open Lightroom with the catalog that works for me --without getting messages that seem to force me to do an upgrade I don't want to do.
Thanks for your help!

I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a year. Right now I'm going
back to the folder with my backups and opening Lightroom 3 Catalog-5. I
think I've tried to reconstruct my left side panel with earlier
Lightroom 3 Catalog x versions. I don't have all the collections and
folders I had with my Lightroom 2 catalog. That catalog seemed to
have been corrupt when I moved to Lightroom 3. I don't recall how I did
it, but I guess I imported the photos and tried to start over with my
collections.

Highlight banding problems NOT encountered in Capture One

I have noticed one issue with Lightroom since I started using it that may become a deal-breaker if I am not able to find a solution (or at least an explanation). The Issue is this:
In areas of intense, sharp highlights in my images (usually when a light source is in the frame) LR interprets these highlight areas in the Raw image much less smoothly than Capture One does. I have an example of each here (an exported JPEG that basically matches what I saw when looking at the Raw files):
Lightroom:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2375/1600778249_58791abf02_b.jpg
Capture One:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2106/1600776525_2e976c1b86_b.jpg
Notice the much better handling of the blue tonal gradations in the highlights in the upper left corner of the example from Capture One.
Is there anyone with enough knowledge of both LR and C1 to explain why the difference is so striking in the upper left corner? I've tried everything I can think of in LR (Recovery, adjusting the HSL sliders for blue and aqua, changing the contrast, exposure, etc...) and nothing works to solve the problem. Is this perhaps a color space issue? The image was shot in the sRGB color space, but the images were output in the Adobe 1998 space (this shouldn't matter and I assume the highlight problems would appear in an sRGB output as well). Or maybe it is just the way LR interprets Canon's Raw data? I find this all very confusing. Help!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get the image to look like the C1 version in LR? Or is this impossible?
The image was shot with a Canon 5D at ISO 800 without flash. I made only slight changes to the image in both LR and C1 to make the man's face less saturated. Other than that, this is the default handling of the Raw file from each program.
I'm running LR and C1 on a G5 iMac with 2GB of RAM, an ATI Radeon 9600 graphic's card, and a calibrated monitor.
Thank you to anyone who can shed some (smooth) light on this issue.

Okay, so the deal is, this area is completely blown out, even in the RAW data. You prefer the way CO handles this situation on this particular image, and I tend to agree. However, in most cases, I prefer how LR handles this by adding contrast to try to recover detail from blown areas. In this case, adding that contrast is causing a problem.
I can see no way to alter this particular image using LR/ACR to get what you want (a low-contrast diffuse transition from blown to unblown). If you have more of these, or if others have similar examples, that would be helpful.

Photoshop Does Not Open Lightroom Image

Every few weeks, when I open Lightroom, I cannot edit my images in Photoshop. I'll select Photo->Edit in->Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Photoshop then opens. Instead of displaying the image I'd just been working on in Lightroom, Photoshop brings up the standard file "Open" dialog. (I've learned that if I then try to open the image using this dialog, the TIFF file is not properly exported back to Lightroom.) To the best of my knowledge, this does not happen if I tell LR to open the image in Photoshop CS4. The only work-around I've found is to optimize the Lightroom catalog, shut down both LR and PS, and restart my Mac. Sometimes it takes several tries -- eventually it will start working again. Once I get the LR-PS linking re-established, it will continue to work properly for the remainder of my work session.
Details: I'm running Lightroom 3.3 and PS 12.0.2 x64 on a Mac Pro. My Lightroom catalog has around 11,000 images in it at the present time.
Any suggestions would be appreeciated! Thanks, Steve.

Thanks for your suggestions. I just found an earlier thread that suggested deleting both the Photoshop and Lightroom preference files. I will try that. I'll also try to update my version of PS. (I have the CS5 updater running -- I'm surprised I don't have the latest version.)
If those things don't work, I'll try reinstalling. One of the frustrations with these intermittent problems is that you're never quite sure if you've fixed it. I'll give your suggestions a shot, and then I just have to watch for a while and see if LR and PS will work together,

Image Artifacts with Aperture, not ACR or Capture One?

I generally use Capture One, but for the first time I’m using Aperture to process a series of photos from a just-completed trip to northern Arizona/southern Utah. I’ve been very impressed with Aperture’s workflow, and would very much like to make Aperture my primary tool for managing my photos.
However, tonight I discovered some very unsettling artifacts in the prints that I made in Photoshop using files that Aperture converted from RAW. Upon closer inspection, the artifacts also appear in Aperture, when I zoom in. But interestingly, neither Capture One nor Adobe Camera Raw shows these artifacts to nearly the same degree. Scroll down for examples of the artifact as seen in Aperture, Adobe Camera Raw, Capture One, and Photoshop.
For completeness, here are the specifics of my configuration:
Canon 1Ds RAW images
PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 GHz
OSX 10.4.7
Aperture 1.1.2
Photoshop CS
Capture One Pro 3.7.4
Here is the photo in which I first discovered the artifacts, which are visible in the full-sized image and on the print, but not in this small jpeg:
The artifacts I’m referring to are regularly-spaced train track-looking things in certain sections of the sandstone. The issue can be seen on 100% crops taken from the left side, about 1/3 of the way down from the top. Here is the area as it appears in Aperture using View > Zoom to actual size:
And here are the Aperture adjustments that I made:
Okay, I used Open With External Editor, to load the image into Photoshop – at its original size. Here is the same area, viewed at 100%, and the artifacts are plainly visible:
Notice that the artifacts appear in much the same way they did in Aperture. Just as a test, I used Aperture to “Export” the image as a 16-bit TIFF format, and then opened in Photoshop. Same artifacts as before:
For comparison I opened the same RAW file in Capture One. The artifacts are barely discernable! :
And here are the Capture One settings I used:
And here is the Capture One conversion as it appears in Photoshop, viewed at 100%. Again, the artifacts are essentially absent:
The image dimensions are almost exactly (but not quite) the same as the image that Aperture converted.
And, although it’s not part of my usual workflow, I converted the image using Adobe Camera Raw. The results show that, like Capture One, ACR doesn’t exhibit these artifacts (although it does show a bit more chromatic aberration):
Just to be clear, these artifacts ARE visible in my 16 x 24” print.
It’s a bit discouraging that, on my first serious attempt at using Aperture, I discovered these artifacts. It may be that this is a rare event with Aperture – or maybe not.
Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? Are there other discussions of the issue? And last but not least, can anyone suggest a way that I might avoid this in the future?
Thanks!

G5 Dual 2.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Here is another example of this effect, but with a different type of subject matter: a ball. The original is a raw file from a Canon 350D/Digital Rebel.
In Aperture's Zoom mode there is a pattern on the ball that looks like Maze Craze:
The pattern is maintained to a lesser degree as the image is sized down:
Exported as Original Size png:
Exported as Half Size png:
Now, as pointed out in the earlier post, the real problem is that other apps do not have this problem. The following is from ACR:
Aside from the pattern, Aperture does look better, but the pattern is nasty and almost makes the image unusable.
