Exposure Tab

One of the most important displays of the Exposure Tab Window is the “Color Info” window. This display shows the individual Red, Green and Blue channel information. With film photography the evaluation of final exposure and development levels is a manual, and often subjective, process. With digital photography accurate evaluation is made using the Color Info picker. By pointing the on-screen cursor at any point in the image you can read the precise values of that point in the Color Info display. Knowing the precise values of any part of the image is useful when full control of the printing process is needed. As printers, and printing processes, have individual characteristics, exposure levels can be adjusted to ensure a predictable and perfect result.

Values in the Color Info display are represented as a numerical scale from 0 to 255. A completely black pixel is represented as 0, a completely white pixel as 255. Again, it is important not to overexpose an image when using the Phase One H 5; if you see any of the Red, Green or Blue (RGB) values approaching overexposure (a value of 255) you need to adjust the exposure level. Keep image highlights (areas that should record as white with detail, not as specular reflection) between 225 to 250.
