Hasselblad 3F RAW files: Hasselblad 3F image raw files carry full sets of metadata, including capture conditions, keywords and copyright, facilitating work with image asset manage- ment solutions. The files also define the colours in the Hasselblad RGB colour space, removing the need for experimenting with different colour profiles to get optimal colours and the need for selective colour corrections.

DNG workflow: For customers familiar with Photoshop and the Adobe Camera Raw con- verter, the 3FR files can be converted directly into Adobe’s raw image format DNG (‘Digital NeGative’), bringing this new technology standard to the professional photographer for the first time. The DNG file format enables raw, compressed image files to be opened directly in Adobe PhotoShop. This allows photographers to operate quickly and efficiently, reducing the “downtime” taken to process image data and enabling final images to reach the customer more quickly. Hasselblad image files carry full sets of metadata, including capture conditions, keywords and copyright, facilitating work with image asset management solutions.

FlexColor workflow: FlexColor offers an image processing workflow with the highest degree of control for the studio photographer. In tethered operation tools like live video and overlay masking help bring productivity to advanced set composition. The newest FlexColor version allows the photographer to manipulate colour temperature and compare image details across multiple images for precise image selection. FlexColor works on the basis of the 3FR RAW files generated by the CFV. FlexColor runs natively on both Macintosh and Windows platforms and is licensed to allow you to provide free copies for all your co-workers and production partners.

Colour refinement – new colour handling concept: Colour management solutions have in the past imposed limitations on professional digital photographers, particularly when captur- ing various skin tones, metals, fabrics, flowers etc. To combat this, Hasselblad has developed a new, powerful colour engine in its FlexColor workflow software. With one camera set up, the new optimised colour engine produces reliable out-of-the-box colour without gradation

reproducing skin tones and other difficult colours accurately.
