Then adjust the brightness, contrast and color. Finally the image is
developed by clicking on the Develop button.

On average it should take between 40 seconds and 1.5 minutes to
develop an image. Development speed is entirely dependent on speed
of the computer.

There are two ways to develop images.

Method one: Individual control of each image

Open an image in the Preview Window.
Name, crop and adjust the color settings as desired.
Then click “Develop”. Repeat these steps with all the images to be
developed. Image development is performed in the background and
will not affect the speed of the computer while shooting or performing
other tasks.

Method two: Batch development

To develop multiple images to the same specifications select them
in the Capture Collection and click the “Develop” button.

A lock is now visible next to the gray balancing tool. Click on a
neutral area in the image. The exact position is now locked and recorded

Developing Images

Images captured by the Phase One H 5 camera are stored as raw
calibrated files. They must by processed by the Capture One before they
can be used in any other program. The raw files can be archived and
processed at a later time, or processed immediately. Archiving raw files
saves space and allows access to raw, un-manipulated, 16 bit data.

Using raw files makes it possible to process one single image for
various purposes; a high resolution color image for a printed page,
a low resolution image for a web site and a third copy to be used in
black and white.

To process an image, it first must be opened in the preview window.
If you think of the development stage as similar to printing in the
darkroom, it may help. After loading the image into the Preview
Window the first step will be to gray balance and crop the image.
