Developing Images

Images captured by the Phase One H 5 camera are stored as raw calibrated files. They must by processed by the Capture One before they can be used in any other program. The raw files can be archived and processed at a later time, or processed immediately. Archiving raw files saves space and allows access to raw, un-manipulated, 16 bit data.

Using raw files makes it possible to process one single image for various purposes; a high resolution color image for a printed page, a low resolution image for a web site and a third copy to be used in black and white.

To process an image, it first must be opened in the preview window. If you think of the development stage as similar to printing in the darkroom, it may help. After loading the image into the Preview Window the first step will be to gray balance and crop the image.

Editing and Selecting Images

Then adjust the brightness, contrast and color. Finally the image is developed by clicking on the Develop button.

On average it should take between 40 seconds and 1.5 minutes to develop an image. Development speed is entirely dependent on speed of the computer.

There are two ways to develop images.

Method one: Individual control of each image

Open an image in the Preview Window.

Name, crop and adjust the color settings as desired.

Then click “Develop”. Repeat these steps with all the images to be developed. Image development is performed in the background and will not affect the speed of the computer while shooting or performing other tasks.

Method two: Batch development

To develop multiple images to the same specifications select them in the Capture Collection and click the “Develop” button.
