I use Photo Mechanic 6 to import photos, to choose the ones that I want to keep, and to re-name and apply metadata to the latter. I use Capture One to process keepers and to export them when I need a copy.
In 2020, when Camerabits released Photo Mechanic 6 Plus, there was some discussion in the PM Plus Support forum about using Capture One and a Photo Mechanic catalogue together. See
Consequences of having overlapping Capture One & PM+ catalogues?.
Twenty months later, I'd like to ask people who are using Capture One and a PM Plus catalogue what they've settled on as a workflow, as well as what problems they ran into and how those problems were addressed. I'm also interested in hearing from people who tried doing this and decided that it wasn't working out. What were your reasons for abandoning the idea?
Thanks
