Hello the other day I was doing a shoot for a client with my Nikon D800 and the client wanted me to overlay a NEF image from the same shot on a NEF image I had shot later that day to check the the angles where right for the retoucher to combine the images.
Unfortunately for some reason it would not work. The only way was to make the overlay image into a jpg for it to work.
Going back to to my Leaf Capture software when I used my Leaf Aptus 75 the MOS files used to overlay without a problem.
Am I doing some thing or is this a fault of C1?
Ciao
Simon

RAW files are not supported by CO 7 for overlay. When you open the LOAD OVERLAY IMAGE dialogue box to select the file, you'll notice that it says "All Supported Graphic File" which are processed files, tif, gif, jpg, png etc.
Perhaps when you select the LEAF MOS file , the overlay function is actually accessing a thumbnail and not the RAW file.

Hi Doug,
Would you be a dear and contact the people at Phase and ask them to modify there C1 software so raw images can be overlayed like Leaf Capture cause it is a major for us advertising photographers.

Phase One has read your feature request and thank you for your input.
As some additional information...
Using the raw file itself poses some performance issues.
On a Mac the OS itself draws a preview of the raw file and therefore provides an easy way around the performance issues. When dragging a raw into the overlay on a Mac Capture One can use the OS preview to provide an overlay. Windows lacks this capacity in a way that Capture One could tap into it.
As an alternative you could make a process recipe with Root set to Image folder and using QuickProof JPG. That would immediately return a JPG from the raw file you were displaying in the same folder as the raw. This takes a total of one more click and around 3 seconds than a direct drag and drop.

Simon another (very quick) option for you is to create a screen grab of the image you'd like to use as an overlay:
Command+Shift+4 and then click&draw to select the part of the screen you are grabbing
On a Mac by default this will save a jpg image on the desktop and will name it "Screen Shot DD:MM:YYYY HH:MM:SS
You can then rename it and bring it in as an overlay
Hope this helps
Yair
