Field notes
The described workflow groups files by camera body, supports location matching from GPS tracks or geotagged images, and lets users review changes before writing. For stills, the page says an untouched copy is kept until deletion; video clips remain unchanged and receive editor-specific import files instead. Capture One is presented as reading embedded metadata on import, while compatibility checks for several other editors are still in progress.
