Ink is cheaper than SureColor I had used in the past too - fantastic printer, donโ€™t take me wrong, but ink cartridge prices were just beating my wallet up

I do recommend it. Got it few months back, very pleased. Photo printing is nice. Wireless functions are amazing. Wireless scanning was phenomenal (used to deal with wire-connected scanners). Best of all - got it working well under Linux (my OS of choice w/o any problems).

Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

Yeah, I have bulk of it on external drives (trying to limit what I have on my laptop to projects I am working on). Also avoiding adding exported jpegs to the catalog.

Need to probably start trimming them down too. I am bit of a shutter click happy guy

How big is yours? I had accumulated over 60000 raw files and tiff film scans in over 10 years ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

They are much faster (C1 feels much faster too). Havenโ€™t encountered any errors yet either.

02.10.2025 19:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So I did start working on smaller catalogs - making annual ones for miscellaneous work, started off with oldest (reasoned I did process them already, and if I feel inclined to mess with old raw files, it would be to perhaps try new processing styles), and ended up liking small catalogs a lot!

02.10.2025 19:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

True. Planned to toy with virtualization for CaptureOne there as well. Bring best of both worlds together.

Yeah, I love that for C1: I dropped some older raws from Fuji X100T into it and it felt like it C1 really made resulting jpegs really shined as opposed to Lr. There is some magic in how it โ€œcooksโ€ the images.

That new retouching module is amazing as well. Made my job so much easier.

30.09.2025 16:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Perhaps, I can feed some less crucial/silly projects into it, instead of CaptureOne, and see what develops

30.09.2025 16:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

โ€ฆ for this situation. Feel like smaller catalogs would make better sense.

Been playing w Linux again a lot recently as well, and really, really like CachyOS. Darktable on that side of things seems to be a phenomenally powerful piece of software, and I was curious to try it out too.

Appreciate it. To be honest - I am toying with using this as an opportunity to reevaluate my workflow and how I use the app/catalog system.

My whole โ€œsingle catalogโ€ workflow came from years of using Lightroom in similar configuration, so I carried same system as I migrated & kinda set myself up โ€ฆ

30.09.2025 16:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah. Went through different options with them, making sure that permissions and access are okay (they are), that catalog is not stored on external drive (it is not)

Latest suggestion was that I create a new catalog, then import my old one into the new one in order to force re-indexing and rebuild.

30.09.2025 15:13 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I suspect that overall, the size of the catalog and me moving operating systems (Mac to Windows) contributed to the problem.

I think I should perhaps sticking to creating smaller ones (catalog per project, or a model I work with constantly, for miscellaneous shots - per year), keep them manageable

30.09.2025 14:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Did have backups, restored them - ran into another issue: old backups would point to locations of photos that are no longer correct, so I would correct them and locate the files, however that change would only stick until I close the app. Start it again, and I am back w the web of old missing paths

30.09.2025 14:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Toying w idea of perhaps taking this opportunity to take a deeper dive into Darktable (and also explore various other open source options)? Been booting into Windows just for CaptureOne pretty much ๐Ÿค”
