Capture One to Client Proofing: A Filename-Based Handoff
Use a deliberate export and filename mapping when your editing workflow starts in Capture One.

The practical answer
Use a deliberate export and filename mapping when your editing workflow starts in Capture One. Do not assume a Lightroom-specific plugin integrates with another editor.
A commercial photographer edits in Capture One but wants clients to select proofs online. The essential bridge is a reliable list of chosen source images.
Put it into practice
A three-step working sequence
- 01
Export proofs with unique traceable names
Write the requirement down before sending the files. Use the project identifiers in the record below.
- 02
Collect the client's selection in the gallery
Use the real recipient or receiving environment for this check. Record the result against the current version.
- 03
Match selected names back to the editing session
Keep the result with the project handoff. Resolve any mismatch before treating this step as complete.
Worked handoff
A concrete example
Export a small proof set with unique session-based names. Collect selections, then locate those names in the source session using its available filtering or search workflow. Confirm the mapping before sending a large commercial set.
Keep the record
Your project worksheet
Session, source name, proof name, client pick, retouch note, matched source.
Use these fields to record your own project. The blank worksheet includes the three steps above, room for results, an owner and a date. It is an editorial template, not an automatic export from the product.

Where clientgallery.io fits
ClientGallery offers a Lightroom Classic workflow; the integration should be evaluated in your actual catalog. Other editing tools can use a deliberate export and filename handoff without implying a native integration. Keep source catalogs and originals under your own recovery plan.
