Function Tabs and Window

The Function Tabs add features to the Phase One H 5 software without adding the clutter of multiple dialog boxes. Click on a tab to change the contents of the Function window and to enhance and evaluate the image before developing. The tabs are arranged in a logical workflow sequence.

Capture Tab

The Capture tab is the option used most while shooting. This tab shows basic information about the most recently captured image. The top part of the window displays a histogram.

Exposure Window

A histogram is simply a graphical representation of where the pixels are distributed in an image. The right hand side of the graph represents white or light colored pixels, while the left is dark or black pixels. If the image is of a light colored scene (or is overexposed) then most of the pixels (and the graph data) will be to the right.

Editing and Selecting Images

Conversely, if the image is a dark subject (or is underexposed) then the data will all be to the left side of the graph. A well exposed image of a “normal” scene will have most of the graph data spiked in the middle with some highlight and shadow pixels to the right and left.

The Exposure area also has a powerful feature that can warn of overexposed, and underexposed, images.

Remaining Resources

Also in the Preview Tab window is the section called Remaining Resources. This section helps gauge how much hard disk space is available. Some laptop computers also support a battery display which indicates the charge level.
