I used to backup my iPhones pictures in Aperture, since I used Aperture to navigate through my pictures, but it was a PITA to do (mainly because how they wanted to come back as duplicates in the cloud afterwards) and I don't see the benefits of doing this in Capture One. (as far as I don't erase them myself from there). Here all my iPhone pictures are present by default, and back-upped by essence by iCloud. I may eventually end in the 3 € / month for the 50-200 GB plan. ![]() So I settled for the 1€/ month for up to 50 GB which I could reach by some size and jpeg optimization. I feel robbed, for the occasional use I will have of it, and don't want Apple to indulge in such extorsions plans. The trick is that Apple charges you an hefty price for access to the cloud : 10€ per month above 200 GB. The Face view, while not 100 % efficient, is a cool bonus to find my kids and friends pictures.Īpple now offers an automatic recognition of scene (for example : all "sea" pictures), and it is likely the way of the future, that will prevent from tedious tagging It comes with a map view which I find quite useful to retrieve a particular photo and to keep track of where a photo was precisely shot. Since I'm all Apple (Mac, iPhones and iPads), the easiest way is to use Apple Photos, which handles the synchronization on all Apple devices. I want to be able to access my photos from everywhere at any time. Sofar, I'm inclined to do the following :Ī) Starting from Access (and sharing) need With a bit of tweaking you could have all your photos, coming from your DSLR and your smartphone in your Mac and mirrored on your devices so you could access everything from everywhere at any time. Indeed, in the beginning, with Aperture, everything was easy. And indeed, some of usual workflow modalities are a way to implicitly answer them, without really addressing them as such. Now a lot of tricky questions appear, which are difficult to answer. One of the difficulty of Aperture demise (*) is that Aperture was so easy to use that you could play with it just for the sake of perfectly organizing your Library, without really asking yourself what was the purpose of organizing it perfectly. It will not cover the topic of migration, which is a subject in itself, with sometimes different solutions from the ones addressing current workflow. While I know Aperture very well and have been using it for 12 or 13 years, I'm still not completely at ease with C1, so pardon me if I make some mistake. That puts me in the 500 GB of storage need ![]() And I plan to continue on adding 3-5000 new each year, mixing personal photos and leisure shootings. ![]() I have around 25 000 photos covering roughly 20 years, with 500 small videos. ![]() I will speak here from the point of view of an amateur photograph, who has put some money on Capture One, and wants to keep on trying to use it because of development quality, but is still struggling to find the best way to use it as a cataloger. More precisely it was developed historically for professional photographers who work in studio on a series of independent projects, hence the session mode, and the cataloging part has been plugged on it in a more or less satisfactory way. It is my opinion that Capture One is one of the best raw editor on the market but has a cataloging functionality which can be considered subpar for a lot of usages. The subject is known to be complex, because there are different needs, different solutions, different configurations and the software itself is complex. Like many people on the Mac, I'm coming from Aperture to Capture One, trying to mimic what was a working workflow in Aperture, and I would like to share ideas.
