Introduction

Editing and selection allow you to organize and qualify your files directly in the Live after uploading them. This crucial step of the workflow facilitates the post-production work by clearly indicating your retouching intentions.

Collaboration and Traceability

Everyone with access to the Live can participate in the editing and selection of files. A complete history ensures the traceability of all actions performed, making it possible to track who did what and when.

Available Tools

[[gsGoodToKnow]]

1. **Stars** Assign from 1 to 5 stars to prioritize your files according to their quality or importance.
2. **Color Labels** Use color codes to categorize your files according to your criteria (style, usage, priority, etc.).
3. **Selection Tags** A simple blue button that changes the file status. By default, files are in the Capture status.

Comments and Annotations

Add comments and annotations from the zoom to precisely indicate your retouching intentions for post-production. A general comment can also be added from the left column.

Sorting and Organization

Sorting options are available to filter your files according to:

• The stars awarded
• The color labels
• The selection status: by default all files are in the Capture status

Import from Your Capture Software

Automatic Retrieval of Metadata

Grand Shooting can display the stars and color labels from your capture software (Capture One, Lightroom, etc.). This allows you to start your editing on the shoot and refine it later in the Live.

How to Proceed?

• The digital operator/photographer must export their files by integrating the editing information into the file metadata (consult the development settings of your capture software)
• The stars and colors will automatically appear under the files in the Live
• You can then modify them on the platform to refine your selection

Changes made from Grand Shooting will not be taken into account by Capture One. The synchronization only works in one direction (from the capture software to Grand Shooting).

Next Steps in the Workflow

Once the editing is finished, the retoucher can use all this information (stars, colors, statuses, comments) to know precisely which files to retouch and how to process them according to your indications.
