Live Session - co-editing process with clients features

What problem do you see this solving?


This Post is all about Live sessions Improvements.

I assume COP wantthat Live Session feature tobecome the market's favourite, and I can already see why it is SO useful. Mostlybecause informations are secured and transferred directly to the master images, without any misinterpretation or email misreading mistakes. Dope.


Suggestions:

1 - Comments: ..aretransferred to the master session. It's planned I know.

Meanwhile Patch: downloadable comments before the live session expires (excel file, whatever). -SOLVED-

2 - Clients havesometimes multiple voices. For now they can only use comments and tags (and eventually stars if not alreadyuse by me). Giving the ability to multi-tag any picture could help the selection process on theclient's side through theweb gallery.

(Example: there is 7 color tag, red is used to invalidate, remains 6 colors that the client couldattribute. 6 people could give individual voices to the pictures: One could sees who-liked-what and sees which pictures received the most "votes". In my use 6 may not necessary, but let's say 4 (photographer's choice/AD choice's / Boss'choice / John Doe's choice).

3 - When creating variants, to show comparisons after editing (before/after), the variantsposition (1-2-3-..) are not mentioned, they are all named the same. Naming appearance should be worked to allow a more precise distinction on the web gallery. Currently it is confusing.

-CRITICAL-

4 - Multiple images viewer in the web gallery for a better client selection, as in COP App. Not a thumbnail, but beig able to compare side-by-side selected images.


(In the same way: when I need to work the pictures in PSD, I save the .psdversion with layers in the session, thus all is in the same place, easy to (re-) export later in a comprehensive batch, multi-formats. The web gallerydoesn't display the extension, so the master and the retouched version (.psd) are more difficult to distinguish, especially with subtle color changes and minor structural retouching. Image name appearance could maybe fix that. Or any way to express the version of each picture (V1 / V2 / ..))


5 - Being able to draw on the pictures in the web gallery, and these drawing layers to appear in themaster session could be theultimate feature.

Cumulated with the assignable multi-color tags, every one could color tag and draw in its own color.


When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Last week.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

Not for this one. I have to clean the shared folder.

    Hi Jeremy, 

    Thank you for the suggestions! 
    I'll set this as "logged", because there are different statuses for each topic you bring. I suggest you add your voice to other topics that may cover some ideas that are similar if you find any, the number of community votes is a great tool to surface the most important ideas. 

    In short: 

    1. Comments - we are working on them, but we will need a few months to release something
    2. Multiple voices - we are well aware and it is on our roadmap, but we have not actively started working on it yet.
    3. Web gallery improvements - they are logged and tracked, but hard to prioritize at the moment. Still I hope we can do something about them sooner rather than later.
    4. Annotations - this is the next natural step after the comments, but there is a lot of legacy in Capture One Pro that we have to handle for that to happen. 

     

    Thank you again!
