Crop Mask Tool

When turned on, the Crop Mask Tool will mask the area of the preview image that is outside the selected crop area. Right-clicking the Cropping Tool allows the color and opacity of the crop mask to be set. This tool is a useful feature when showing images on-screen, as the cropped area is clearly shown.

Exposure Warning Tool

This tool quickly shows which areas of the image are either over or under exposed.

Much like Photoshop’s “Gamut Warning” tool, when the “Exposure Warning Tool” is activated a colored mask will be applied to the image showing which areas of the image are above or below a set exposure value.

Right-click the tool icon to set the over and under exposure values and to change the highlight colors.

Tools

In general, if the exposure warning is shown over a large area of the selected image, it indicates that the exposure level may need to be adjusted. Highlight areas are more critical than the shadows. Preserve highlight detail by not allowing values greater than 240.

Gray Scale Viewing

The preview is shown in grayscale. This does not affect the developed file.

Soft Proofing and Color Management

The Phase One H 5 is designed to work as part of an ICC color management workflow.

The camera, monitor and printer are specified in the Capture One application, and the processed image will be customized for that specific input and output configuration. By pressing the soft proofing button the application will display the image according to its color management settings.

It is important to select the appropriate camera profile before shooting, however, if required changes can be made to the profile settings from one capture to another. This is done by means of the ICC profile pull-down menus in the Tool Settings dialogue box. The effects of the changes are seen immediately in the preview and collection views provided that the color management button is active.
