I would like to experiment on some raw files in capture one that I have already processed in Lightroom. I assume capture one would not recognize my Lightroom edits. I’m also assuming that it will not be a problem to have the same image in my Lightroom catalog and my capture one catalog.

Does anyone know if my assumptions are correct?

If the modifications are included in the XMP file or inside a DNG, yes.

You can also export as a TIFF file.

If I understand, just make a copy of the original raw with another name and edit each one as you please. File contents not changed by a different name, even extention is irrelevant as to contents, i.e., file.raw same as file.jpeg or anything else, if using copy command. Now altering the extension in this way does not mean a program expecting a specific file type will open it, pretty sure it won't in many cases, only if program ignores file extension and actually reads file info to determine type, good error checking would prevent this in most cases, but never tried.

Save an output from an application that is recognized by another application and you have either "saved" the prior edit for additional work. Or you have lessened the original image by "over-processing" the original data. Do both. Or do 3 or 4 applications. The sequence that you use is a factor. And, honestly, each software application is likely to alter the image in terms of contrast/resolution/color balance/sharpness/etc.

The final result of this traveling "carousel" of software apps is what each application adds to, takes away from, enhances/reduces/etc. the original (already) modified image before it came to them and how it looks after their software algorythms have had a "software hand" in changing it.

Simple distillation - What you do, and in what sequence controls what you get.

Each "team" of software developers is trying to "help" to "improve" the image based upon their correct/incorrect pre-conception of what you give them to start with and what you want.

I'm sorry if this seems esoteric. I do not mean it to be. - But, you (YOU) must experiment with your multiple applications to discover the subtle and, perhaps surprising, changes that they make to your image in post processing. Please read this and remember it. What you do, which applications you use and what sequence you use for multiple applications will affect things like sharpness, contrast, color balance, highlight/shadow detail and so much more.

This is a "learning experience". Please embrace it. Experiment again and again. Carefully analyze the (recorded sequence of what you did) to use it as a learning experience for future reference. Suggest you write it down.

This is the way that you will make 'great strides' in advancing your PP and the "work flow" that you will use for your final images.

Please approach this as a learning experience. And not as something to dread, fear or reject 'too easily'.

It can be "fun". Please make it so.

I have altered images with multiple programs from multiple software applications. What I do and in what sequence affects my final results. (Examine your 'final results' at 1:1 to see more of the effect/changes made from the last software application.)

Learn and grow (within your head), please.

Can't you just make a copy, then hit the reset button on the original (all in LR) & re-edit in C1 or what ever program you desire to. I have done this to try a full edit in AP. I usually do most of my editing in LR6 & will use AP for some very light layer work ( me being very in experienced at it) or, object removal. You can also write down all your edit info before you do a reset if need be.

edit. I also save a copy of all my originals SOOC & hope you do to. Another way would be to drag a copy of the originals to the editor of choice.
