Pixels are resolution independent (depends upon the output device).
Printers – 300 pixels per inch.
Monitors – 100 pixels per inch.
Therefore a 600×900 pixel image will print at 2×3 inches, but display on a monitor as 6×9 inches.
Capture One
Capture One can export files up to 250% larger than their original size.
Can build multiple output recipes e.g. to export files as Tiff, or JPEG to email, or DNG for further processing etc.
Each recipe has unique characteristics for that type of file output.
Building an output recipe
Left menu the cog icon – Output tab.
Under the Process tab
Format: TIFF 16 bit
Compression:None
ICC Profile: Adobe RGB
Resolution: 300 px/in
Scale: Fixed or could choose ‘Long edge’
Select the i icon (left menu to see the dimensions of the file). Due to the chip size-:
P20’s are 16meg (4080 x 4080 = 16 megapixels)
P40’s are 40 meg (7320 x 5484 = 40 megapixels)
Under the Scale tab could choose 250% (max output – bigger than A0)
260% of a P20 image isn’t A0 size – this would have to be enlarged further in Photoshop.
Under Process Summary
Recipe: A0 Print Output (or name given to that recipe)
Filename: 13-02-2014 …… Name of file
Size: 890.8 x 1189.0 (10,521 px x 14,043 px)
Scale: 192%
ICC Profile: Adobe RGB
Format: Tiff (16 bit)
File Size: 845 meg
Location of Output
Click right arrow (next to Store Files) – shows you where the images have been saved.
Watermark – put on after resizing as is not proportional.
Could put a Watermark on jpegs for internet use before outputting. Watermark becomes part of the image (not a layer). Some applications strip the metadata from files making them orphans.
Sharpening Image – always sharpen the image before outputting. This is the first stage of sharpening the other sharpening will be done in Lightroom and/or Photoshop.
3 types of Sharpening:-
Capture – Capture One
Creative – Photoshop
Output – Photoshop
The circle with a leg icon on left menu.
Focus:
Sharpening: All images need this. = has presets for
Amount – combination of Radius and Threshold. If Threshold is zero it will apply to all edges. Higher removes sharpening from subtle edges.
Three types of Image
High Frequency (fine detail) – needs radius of 0.4 to 0.6
Low Frequency (landscape) – needs radius of 0.8 to 1.2
Mid Frequency (Inbetween) – needs radius inbetween
Noise Reduction:
Noise Reduction Advanced:
Moire: Interference appears on material/lines/strips etc.) If camera moved 1/2 a degree left or right the moire disappears.
Spot Removal:
Output File – the recipes defined will be applied to the image(s) created.
Output file
Open in Photoshop.
Go to Image Size
Choose Bicubic Automatic or Bicubic Soother
Short Cuts
cmd/alt/0 – shows image at 100%.
Go to Filter/Sharpen/ use:- Smart Sharpen or Unsharp Mask
Radius 0.4 to 0.6
Top menu. Window/Arrange/Float Window – can display images side by side to see changes.
