Editing and Selecting Images

A deleted image is moved to the “Trash” folder of the Capture Collection. If an image is mistakenly deleted it can be restored to it’s original location by clicking on the Trash can icon marked with a red “X”.

The trash is emptied by selecting the images in the Trash folder and clicking on the Trash Can icon. Deleted images are stored in the Mac’s “Trash Can”. They can be manually deleted from the Capture One application

(as described above) or deleted via the Special menu in the Macintosh Finder.

Previewing

While the Capture Collection is a good place to judge images quickly, the Preview Window will provide a much better view of an image.

To preview an image, choose one of the images from the Capture Collection and double-click it.

The thumbnail will then open in the larger Preview Window.

The Preview Window provides improved image evaluation, as well as tools for adjustment of exposure, contrast, sharpness and color of the photo.

To move a new image into the Preview Window, return to the Capture Collection (remember the keyboard shortcut “Command –2”) and double-click a new image. The Capture Navigator tool can also be used to preview images.

The Preview Window in detail

The Preview Window is divided into several sections to help evaluate and control the development of images. The file name of the current preview is shown at the top of the Preview Window for easy reference. On the right of the window, at the top, is a row of buttons used to access the tools that control the image. These tools will be covered individually later in this guide. Below the tools section is a display providing information on exposure, development, color and gray balancing. A description of their function and use follows below.

Exposure Monitor

The Exposure Monitor is located below the Tools. This is a basic graphical gauge of the overall exposure of the image in the Preview Window. If the indicator line is in the green area, the exposure is considered acceptable. If the pointer is in the red area it is overexposed. If it is in the white area it is underexposed.

The Phase One H 5 is sensitive to overexposure. Avoid shooting images when the indicator line is in the red area. Here are examples of what the meter will look like with different exposures:
