- May 16, 2019 Why transfer a Raw file from CapO to DNG to LR? Transferring a file is a reduction of image Q. Only alternative is to pay up for the full Capture One Pro 11 when.
- One of the major things holding me back is that the majority of my catalog in LR were converted from my RAW to DNG. From what I've read, one of the highlights of C1 is how it uses camera profiles and how it handles the treatment of RAW files differently.
- Then, check this article How to update Capture One if you have previous versions of Capture One installed. Launch Capture One 20 (13.1.3) and try to import your files from Nikon Z5. Starting from Capture One 20 (13.1.3), Nikon Z5 is supported in Capture One for Nikon that you have.
- Capture One can export DNG files in their original format, however, depending on the support for the file type, some export options may not be available. DNGs that originate from a number of supported cameras, such as certain models from Leica or Pentax, that write the format natively can be exported in their original format.
In some situations you may wish to export a raw image file that have been adjusted from a Catalog.
This could be to:
– Import the image into another Catalog database
– To continue working on the file on another computer
– To send the raw file to another person for further adjustments
You can, however, archive or share your RAW files complete with all adjustments and metadata intact by packing them together as EIP files instead. Note also that exporting native DNG files as variants from the original Leica M Monochrom, Leica M Monochrom ( Typ 246), and Leica M ( Typ 262) using the DNG file format is not supported.
When working within a Catalog in Capture One Pro 7, adjustments for each image are stored within the Catalog database and not in image sidecar files. To get the original image file with it’s adjustments, you therefore need to use the Export Originals option.
A raw file with adjustments can then be imported normally via the Import Images menu.
Step 1: Exporting the raw file with adjustments
When you have finished your adjustments on one or more images in Capture One Pro 7, choose File>Export>Originals.
The following Export dialogue will then appear:
Simply choose a location under Store Files and make sure the Include Adjustments box is checked.
When the export has completed, the raw file will be exported alongside an additional folder called CaptureOne. The Settings70 folder contains all the necessary information for Capture One to apply the adjustments made to the file before the export.
Step 2: Importing the raw file with adjustments
When you are ready to import the image again, open the Import Dialogue, choose the location of your exported originals and make sure the Include Existing Adjustments box is checked as shown below.

When the import process has completed, the raw file will show in Capture One Pro with the adjustments.
