I favoured sidecars for various reasons, and I still do. embedding for dealing with user annotations. We had a big internal debate about using sidecars vs. It's also perfectly happy with you leaving your photos organized in folders and just browsing to the folders - no import needed.īefore I retired, I worked for Apple, mostly on stuff related to PDF. You can also do some tricks like add a B&W effect, tweak it and then make it semi transparent, for finely customized low saturation. One thing I especially like is that each effect has an opacity slider, so you can tone down an effect with one adjustment. On1 is great if you like the tools in the Effects panel.

It does actually use sidecar files, which are best used when working in Sessions - they're saved in the Session folder hierarchy and can be found and copied with the file, and since they're in the same folder set as the images and the rest of the support files it makes taking sessions from one computer to another easy. you can make tool panels for different workflows, so I have one for working with camera-scanned negatives that has all the tools I use for that, in order.

I'm using Capture One, and the interface is different but once you get used to it it's great.
