Phase One H 5 User Manual

background image

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.

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.
