Request a new feature, or support for a camera/lens that you would like to use in Capture One.
I’m a headshot photographer and often go onsite shooting a number of people. I shoot sessions and in order to provide separate galleries for each individual to review, I have to either rename the file names for each person (either in the file naming module at the beginning of each shoot with an individual or at the end when exporting by exporting each group of photos to a different folder. I often have a spreadsheet with the list of people I’ll be shooting. It would be great to have the ability to import the names on that spreadsheet into C1, select the specific name of each individual with a click so that the file names include that name, and then export. Or am open to other methods that would eliminate the need to type in individual names. My guess is this feature would be useful for other types of photography (eg, product photography where you’re shooting a catalog, etc)
Current workaround
manually typing in names |
HI,
It's completely doable using AppleScript under MacOS if you use Mac. It could be done by producing dropdown list menu populated from opened excel/number document. It would contain names of people, when name selected from dropdown it would be placed in job name filed, then while exporting files of given person could be renamed using {job name} token. Or you can make script to write metadata to selected photos personality field, also using dropdown populated by entries from spread sheet. If you cant script, try ChatGPT it can make some decent simple scripts.
