Thanks Graham, but I must be thick or something:- What do you mean by the "processing dialoge"? - I've messed about with "Develop Settings" & "Capture Output" in the preferences dialogue but can't get the captured filename (as allocated by the camera) to be retained. My workflow at present is to download the RAW images from a card-reader to a customer folder on my computer hard disc. I then create a new session in C1 Pro and select the customer folder containing the RAW images (the first of which is a shot of the Gretag Colour Chart) as the root folder. In C1 Pro, I select the first image (the Gretag Colour Chart) and carry out adjustments for white Balance and Exposure. I then select all the images in the root folder and apply these settings to all of them. I then select the "Develop" tab and batch develop the sected captures. It is during this process that the orignal filename gets dropped, usually in favour of the camera allocated number for the Gretag Chart shot plus (for all the images) plus a suffix which seems to depend on the options originally selected in the preferences dialogue. This is frustrating to say the least as I'm sure I'm doing something stupid but can't for the life of me see what! Another observation is that with CS I can make all the adjustmets I need (calibration) for the target image and then save those settings so that they can be applied to the other images in the set. Unfortunately there is no option to batch process the images in CS and this was one (of many) attractions in C1 Pro, although I have to say that C1 Pro falls short of expectations in the calibration stakes. Having said that, it is clearly more powerful in that you can use cutom profiles instead of a calibration technique but who wants to set up a custom profile for each shoot? Again, I'm probably missing something here. Ah well, I guess I shall just have to persevere until I have a better understanding of C1 Pro but (and it's another niggle) their help files are not particularly comprehensive and don't do the product justice compared to PS for instance.
