Best approach for IPTC / XMP for use with Capture One
« on: December 14, 2020, 09:10:03 AM »
I am new to photo mechanic plus. I will ingest and catalog with Photo mechanic plus and edit with capture one.

Given this, what should my XMP / IPTC settings be for best inter operability between the two software?

In the IPTC/XMP page of the Preferences dialog, look for the snapshot button near the bottom right corner of the page.  It has a small lightning bolt icon on it.  Click on it and choose the [Capture One] item.

Oh wow, thank you.  That is what I was looking for!
