Fellow photo assistants, digis, retouchers - I have some pain points about using using captureone, would love your help or general anecdotes on how you approach these areas. Context: I'm at the stage where I shoot and manage files myself on shoots.

• How do you keep different looks organized? I set up different capture folders, green flag if I love, and 5 star after the shoot is done to make selects. At beginning of post, I will have 10~ photos to fine tune grade.
• How do you manage images that need to be edited in photoshop? I add all my selects into a session collection, but sometimes I can't send directly to photoshop in a folder, so it gets unorganized here.
• I love the match look feature, and can quickly get a different look when switching looks. Or build the grade before the shoot. But sometimes the grade is too specific and clients expect that. Do you stick to a general style, just curves, apply grades when client isn't looking?

Any other pain points about capture you can share? Love hearing any wisdom out there.
