Editing and Selecting Images

Sharpening

Also found under the Focus Tab is a preview of the Unsharp mask settings (also discussed later in this user guide). Experiment with different values to determine the correct setting for each image. Control the Amount (based on percentage values) from 0% up to 400% and the Threshold (the cut-off point where the sharpening will stop or start) from 0 to 50.

A third option found in many imaging programs, Radius, is fixed in the Phase One program at about 1 pixel. As the settings are adjusted they are updated in the preview image. This feature can be turned off by un-checking the “Preview Settings” box.

Automatic Focus Update

At the top of the focus window is the “Automatic Focus Update” button. When activated the Phase One H 5 software will automatically update focus window when subsequent images are taken. This is especially useful when setting up for a shot.

Show Focus in Grayscale

To make it easier to judge whether or not the focus is acceptable, click the “Show focus in grayscale”. This does not affect the developed file, it simply makes it easier to see the focus preview.

Menu Settings

You have various menu choises, among those are:

Save the Capture Settings

The capture settings you apply to the capture file prior to processing are stored along with its preview in the preview folder and can be used as a future reference. This means that settings like crop, USM settings, curves, capture name etc. can be restored at any time, even, if you intentionally or by mistake shut down the application.

The capture settings are automatically saved when the application is closed down. To restore/save/reset the capture settings go to the Workflow pull-down menu or right-click on the mouse in the capture collection. Select 'Selected Capture settings...' or 'All Capture Settings...' followed by: restore, save or reset.

Reuse Capture Settings

The feature 'Copy settings from...' allows reuse of capture settings from for instance an earlier photo session.
