Ill let the LR experts answer your specific question.Thanks for the responses. Two remaining questions. First, if changes are made to a file that is in a Folder referenced in LR but the image has NOT been imported into the Session Folder created, what happens to those changes? If you are finished with the C1 processing, you can output the file as a TIFF from C1. LR will not, however, be aware of it, right? What happens to the C1 changes if you are not done in C1 but you want to close out of C1?
Second, how can I keep track in my DAM (ie, LR)of which images I have worked on in C1. I guess if I output it as a TIFF to the original Folder in LR where the image resides, I can title the file in a way that identifies it as a file that went through C1 fro raw processing. With a file that not been finished and exported as a TIFF, I am unsure of how to flag that in LR. A loud alarm going off in LR would work I suppose!
You could always add a keyword to the file "C1_Processing" as an example.
To be honest, you would find it easier to work solely in Capture One - but I would say that.
The reason we don't necessarily offer a simple 'file browser' option is that with large image files, the performance would be pretty painful as we would have to read the image file, create a thumbnail.. etc etc. This is why the catalog is smart as it contains this information in the database - created on import.
