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:

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.
