The eBook will, however, teach you how to select any color – including a blue sky – in Capture One, and enhance both colors and light balance of the selected blue color range. The goal is to teach you the vast possibilities of the tools in Capture One, so you will be able to pick the right tool for the job. There are for example several ways to adjust contrast and light balance in Capture One Pro, and each tool has its place in the photographer’s toolbox.

When a color is selected, you can inverse this selection bypressing the inverse selection Icon; this will also make yourselection inversed on the color chart. When the selection isinversed, you are only adjusting all colors except the selectedcolor. Pulling the homogeneity slider will pull Hue in the direction of the picked color; tryadding a bit of saturation as well, this will provide and increased sense of being tanned.

If you have a Macbeth color card, you can use the skin tones from this as well; you donot have to take the color from the skintones on the model. How do I adjust? The best way to lighten or darken an image is to use the exposure slider.

For more precise and advanced control, the exposure slider shouldbe used to centre the data within the histogram and define an initialexposure, ensuring that no highlight or shadow clipping occurs. When this stage has been completed, use the levels controls to finetune the lightness and darkness of the mid-tones of the image. How do I use the image adjustment sliders? Sliders provide the best way to adjust exposure and contrast. Use onetool at a time before moving onto the next tool.

ExposureAdjusts the exposure in much the same way as the controls on thecamera do. ContrastMoving the slider to the right increases contrast throughout the image. Moving to the left decreases. BrightnessProvides a tool to primarily brighten the mid-tones of the image; thistool has the effect of increasing mid-tone contrast. By contrast thegamma or centre slider of the levels tool works on the mid-tones, buthas the effect of lightening shadow areas and reducing contrast.

SaturationIncreases or decreases saturation of the image. When saturation isdecreased the image is Black and White. Then the histogram changesfrom RGB to monochrome though the image is still in a RGB color spacechosen as out output color space.

The curves tool has been designednot to clip image information and will only operate on tones within thedefined white and black points of the image. What are correct settings for Levels? In an ideal situation, levels should be adjusted to slightly clip the endpoints of the image histogram at the shadow end and to the maximumhighlight level on the right side of the histogram.

The images below show before and after adjusting the levels foran image. Tip:The fastest way to use levels is the autotool as a starting point — this will not clipinformation — if the result is not desired youcan fine tune the result manually.

You can see that the black point and white point adjustments havebeen brought in very slightly. This has the effect of lightening the lightertones and darkening the shadow tones in the image, at the same timeincreasing contrast slightly. The process has to be done very carefullyin order to preserve the feeling that the image evokes.

Once the highlight and shadow points of the image have been fixed,the density or mid-tone values of the image can be adjusted using thecentre or gamma slider on the levels tool. Highlight warning shows where thelevels should be set — here app When do I use Highlight and Shadow picker? Custom Target LevelsCustom Target Levels extend the abilities of the levels tool, enabling themeans to control the output values and to reduce contrast in the image.

This is particularly useful where an image has data in the highlight areathat is in danger of clipping. The theory is that you set the target level tothe desired value and then use the picker tool to choose the area withinthe image that you wish to match that brightness level.

With conventional pixel based image tools, output levels are usedto compress the tonal range of the image to fit in a smaller space, forexample re-mapping highlight values of to Whilst this preventsclipping, it means that there is a sharp cut-off of image data, leading to anhard transition between data and no data when the image is re opened.

Capture One Target Levels work in such a way that the tones areremapped, yet avoiding hard transitions in highlight areas and resultingin pleasant, more natural looking images. How do I use custom target levels? Set a desired value for an area in the highlight area of the image whereit is important to retain detail; for instance The same process can be repeated for shadow values and the blackpoint picker.

Do not do this unless you really understand the implications. Levels are used to control the overall tonal distribution of an image. Curves provide the ability to remap the area within the shadow andhighlight limits set by the Levels tool areas to produce a desired image.

The S curve achieves the increase in contrast by pulling down theshadow values, normally on the quarter tones and increasing the valuesof the tones at the three-quarter tone mark as shown in the image. The brightness values at the quarter tones, before applying the curve,are around 65 with image tonal values from black 0 to white at The curve darkens these tones to around 50, whilst the three-quartertones at are raised to , lightening them in the final image.

The inverse S curve has the opposite effect of lightening the shadowsand darkening the highlight tones, causing a reduction in contrast. For advanced use, the Pick Curve point picker tool p can be used topick a specific tonal area within an image. This value is added to thecurve to allow adjustment of the values for that part of the image. The image below clearly shows how the value picked on the imagetranslates to the image curve.

There are two scenarios where the High Dynamic Range tool may proveto be essential. In certain situations, image contrast is such that clipping may occurat both ends of the histogram.

In such cases the HDR tool provides ameans of optimizing the image to deal with the extreme contrast andprevent the clipping of highlights and shadows.

High Dynamic range also provides the means to make use of imagesthat have been accidentally over or underexposed to an extent thatrender them unusable with conventional exposure tools.

How can I optimize the dynamic range of an image? The dynamic range of an image is optimized at the shooting stage byadjusting exposure to capture the maximum amount of data. This mayresult in an image that does not look optimal on the LCD display. Once the image has been opened in Capture One, it is optimized byusing the various tools within the software to adjust the data.

Applying a soft-proof profile for the output should beconfigured in order to edit for this output device. RGB levels will allow you to change the levels including target levelsper color. How can I neutralize the shadow area in my image file? Should your shadow area be showing a not-desired tone of color, youcan achieve a more natural look by using RGB curves, this will work onthe individual tone of color value Red, Green or Blue in all in shadow orhighlight.

How can I get more clean colors? Not unusually you will experience doing shot outdoor, that are showinga shade of color from the e. This color shade would in the image example make the grass lookbrown-ish — to avoid this, you could add green either by using advancedcolor tool tab, or by pushing the green mid-tones in the R-G-B levels,both will however possibly leave the model, here the players, in a lightnot comparable to the green grass.

A good way to adjust the shadows and highlights in your image is withthe curves tool. Use the Pick Curve Point tool u to click in the area of the image to beadjusted. A point will be put on the curve and this allows very preciseadjustment of the exact tonal area of the image that you prefer.

To finetune this, use the arrow keys on the keyboard. This practice is muchmore accurate as compared to relying on the sliders in levels to achievean overall result. How can I prevent highlight and shadow detail loss? Correct exposure in combination with the dynamic range tool, wherenecessary, prevents highlight and shadow detail loss. PROFeatureHow do styles work on my image? Styles is a combination of presets added at once to provideyour photo a certain look, this will save loads of working hoursin post process.

The changes will be seen as soon as you mouse-overthe style, but will only be applied as you click on the style. But by adding the style, you only have topolish the photo afterwards. If you apply more than one style it is important to keep in mind, thatthe latest applied style will override the previous applied style, if thevalues exceed the previous style. Remove a style byentering the style drop-down-menu, the top area of this will showa list of added styles and the possibility of removing these as youmouse-over these menu items the photo will be live updated to showthe changes.

When you have created a look to your photo that you want to keep,copy the adjustments, and decide which changes to keep in the style,it is recommendable to not e. Name your style a recognizable name and you will find the style in theStyles Drop-down menu, below the default styles.

How can I transfer and share styles? How can I modify a style? When you have applied a style, and still want to change to attain theeffect you want, polish the image until perfect — and copy the settings,save the style, save using a new name, to not over-write already madestyle.

How can I see if a style is applied to an image? Easier is checking the Styles drop-down menu, above the Default stylesyou will find the applied styles on the primary variant. The styles islisted with the last one applied on top of the rest, the bracket indicatesif the previously applied style is Adjusted or partially or fully overridden. Choose an image and make all the necessary adjustments to it.

Next to each setting, there is an orange check or tick. If you wish toapply all changes to other images, leave all the boxes checked. If youprefer to apply only a subset of the changes, deselect the options notrequired.

Go to the browser and select the group of images that you want toapply changes to. Click on the Apply button and paste the settingsinto the selected image.

First of all your of course have to have the approximately sameexposure values, then make changes to one and then use CopyAdjustments and Apply Adjustments to to paste the settings to theother image files as described above. If the images have different white balance or exposure — Will a settingscopy be absolute or relative? Any settings copied from other images are absolute. For instance if yourwhite balance is currently tungsten, K and you paste a daylightbalance from another image, the setting will be an absolute one; it willnot be halfway between tungsten and daylight.

Can I save the settings with the RAW files? All changes made to a RAW file are saved in a. COS settings file. This filecontains all the information regarding edits made to the RAW file.

The Cache folder is also found here. Within this folder is a Proxiesfolder. In the Proxies folder there are. COP files. These are the previewsviewed in Capture One. Settings files from previous versions cannot be read by Capture One 5. Even easier is to save as. EIP, this only applies for Phase One digitalback user s.

Read more about. EIP in the chapter on this. Preset is a clever way of creating shortcuts in the daily work, insteadof repeating your corrections again and again, save the preset, andget a precise and easy adjustment. IntroductionA variant is actually a copy of the settings used to create an imagepreview; it is not a duplicate of the original file. This means that it ispossible to create multiple image variants without using any significantdisk space. Variants provide an easy way to try different settings or modify thework you have done on an image without risk.

Original image data isuntouched by any changes made. How can I create different expressions from one image? Variants provide an easy way to try different settings or modify thework you have done on an image without risk and without copying yourimage files. New Variant creates a duplicate of the image using default settings. The image is created as it came out of the camera or DNG file exceptrotation.

Clone Variant creates an exact duplicate of the image you are workingon; complete with any changes you have made. How do I delete Variants? The easiest way to delete a Variant is marking the variant in the Vieweror browser and press Delete or on PC press Backspace. You can alsoright-click and choose Delete from the menu. When a Variant is deleted, only the settings file for the Variant is deleted. The original image file is untouched.

What settings does a Variant inherit from the original image? Clone Variants inherit all settings from the original image, includingwhite balance, color, exposure and other changes that have been madein Capture One. With the exception of Lens Cast correction Digital Backs only andMetadata, any changes made to an original image can also be appliedto a variant. Lens Cast is a special case, as it is regarded as a correctionof the original image.

That correction is applied to the original andautomatically applied to any variant. When creating a variant, metadata information is not changed becausethe content and the creator of the image have not changed. A lens is a delicate device that needs to balance various needs. Some lenses render images with a look that distinguish them as abrand, some are optimized for studio, travel, cost, architecture, weight,bulk, speed and many other parameters. Nevertheless, lenses do share some physical limitations that lead tovarious artifacts that can be undesirable.

The lens correction tool addresses most issues that commonly arise. Why are the sliders not active? Lens correction is merely possible on RAW files. What lens profile should I use? A lens profile encapsulates the behavior of a lens and forms the basisfor the correction. Capture One ships with a set of profiles for mediumformat. When a specific profile for your lens is available, you will getbest result. If you do not have a profile for your lens, use a genericprofile as described in the next item.

How can I correct an image without a lens profile? These profiles can model aPROsimple spherical lens.

Complex distortion; which often have a Featuremoustache shape; can only be fully corrected if a specific lensmodel is available. These profiles models a simple sphericallens.

Complex distortion, which often have a moustache shape, canonly be fully corrected if a specific lens model is available. A generic lens profile does not know about the particular lens used tocapture an image, you will also need to experiment with the settingsto find the required level. Note that some effects, such as chromaticaberration and purple fringing, may well depend on aperture as well asfocal length.

You can create a preset for the lenses you use the most to make thiseasier. Capture One ships with presets for some common medium formatlenses.

Geometric distortion, often simply called distortion, turns straight linesinto bended curves. This is especially pronounced at wide-angle shotswith a fisheye being an extreme example. If your lens is already known by Capture One PRO, you can find thelist in the Lens Drop down menu in case of Phase One lenses, or in thepreset menu in case of other brands.

These setting will do standard corrections to the images, thesecorrections are developed by Phase One developers team. Distortion can be particularly unwelcome with architectural- andlandscape- photographers. Without a lens profile, select the appropriate generic lens and experimentto set the amount. If you want to create a preset for your lens, be awarethat the amount may depend on the focal length and, for a macro lens,the distance.

What is chromatic aberration and can I avoid it? Chromatic aberration CA occurs because light of differentwavelengths takes different paths through the lens and maybe in focus at different locations.

As most light is a mix ofseveral wavelengths, the lens will focus the colors differentlyand create color fringes on edges of high contrast. PROFeatureSince CA results from colors that are shifted, a white or light color on adark background will have colors on either side. If you have selected an appropriate lens profile,simply enable the checkbox. If you use a generic lens, Capture One cananalyze the image to find the focus.

The result of the analysis can be copied to other images used with thesame lens. Note that chromatic aberration varies with focal length fora zoom lens and extreme apertures may need to be analyzed specially especially when wide open. The distance may also take a role inparticular for macro lenses. Brass, chrome and other metallic products often give rise to extremecontrast. What is purple fringing and can I avoid it? Purple Fringing PF is, like chromatic aberration, an artifact that occursbecause a lens interacts differently with light of different wavelengths.

Unlike chromatic aberration, purple fringing will not usually show fringesof different colors. PF is mostly visible on edges of very high contrast, such as metallicproducts or branches on a tree against a bright sky.

It is often seen onimages that also show chromatic aberration, and wide angle lenses aremore likely to show this artifact. To correct for purple fringing enable the checkbox.

How do I avoid dark corners light falloff? Light falloff arises because the image is exposed more at PROthe center of the image than the corners. There are several Featurereasons for this — the distance from the lens to the backplaneis longer at the edges than the center and less light can passthe lens at oblique angles.

This means corners are exposed less thanthe center and hence they are darker than the center, this effect is mostcommon when the lens is wide-angle and wide open aperture. Otherwise, use a generic profile and set theamount carefully. This overrides any lens profile and is especially suitablefor large-format photography, complex tilt and shift images andreproduction work e. Darkening ofthe corners is often adesired effect that tendsto emphasize the centerof the image.

However,the effect can be createdwith more controlusing the Vignette toolinstead. Used this way,you can get a consistentlook throughout a seriesof images, regardless ofaperture or crop Soft corners may occur for many reasons especially with wide-angleretro-focus designs.

Otherwise, you need to experiment to get a proper setting. How can I make improve the light conditions from my repro standimage? When photographing from repro stands, the lighting will usually be thesame the same for several shots; start by making an all white shot fromyour repro stand not opal plate , if you are working on a Phase Oneback just let Capture One do the transforming by creating a LCC profileincluding Light Fall off, this way Capture One will equalize the lightingperfectly.

After this, you should keep aperture and light conditionsunchanged. If you are working on DSLR, it is recommendable to do a similar testshot, use a generic profile, make sure to check the sharpness, and thenuse the light fall off to correct the light, if Light Falloff is not powerfulenough try using the Vignetting tool as well.

Can I control the shape of Vignetting? Capture One provides more options on vignetting, you canchoose circular or elliptic, both variations will now be adjustedto you crop, not the complete image file. Remember using thelocal copy function, to adjust many images. Yes, the new Vignetting tool is made to accept the vignetting added toyour image file in previous versions, in that case you will have the circularvignetting, you can always change this to one of the new options.

Can I choose any tone of color for my Vignetting? Vignetting is a controlled exposure that will either darken or brightenthe edges of the image. The corner will be brighter when you add EVvalue and darker when you reduce the EV value.

Vignetting is however affected by any color tone you may choose toadd your photo including the styles Sepia and Blue tone. Elliptical on crop Circular on crop Circular Lens cast is a commonly known lens issue, creating darker areastowards the edge of the lens, this occurs as the light are entering theindividual glass in your lens, the more glass and groups the higher riskof visible lens cast.

What is Lens Cast Calibration? Capture One is equipped with one of the most powerful core enginesin the market, by an analysis of the Lens Cast shot Capture One willdetermine the need of correction, keeping the correction smooth andnatural.

What Lens types are supported? More lenses will come in time, but it isvery easy conducting your own analysis. Lens Cast is a well-known issue especially on large format and onwide-angle lenses. Capture One is providing and easy 2-step lens castcorrection tool placed in the Lens Tool Tab.

First do a lens cast correction shot, using a calibration plate, import theimage to Capture One and choose analyze in the LCC drop-down menu. You will automatically be asked to name your new LCC profile, used arecognizable name, reference to the lens, focal length and aperture, asyou will need LCC filters for all Apertures and focal lengths if possible. Use cursor arrows to move or edit crop area Cropping of an image can be done freehand or with the constraintsof specific ratios such as popular photographic paper sizes.

A gridis provided to facilitate alignment and there is the option to displaylabels, with dimensions related to the selected output destination. In combination with the output tool, images can be cropped to specificsizes for output. The rotation function is geared towards straightening of images whereobject or horizons are not as vertical or horizontal as was intended. As the rotation is applied, the image is automatically cropped to themaximum usable dimensions.

To crop an image, select the crop button in the Composition tool panelor the cursor tool selector. Dependingon the preferences that have been set, there will be a semi-transparentmask hiding the area that is being cropped.

The dimensions will indicatethe size of the cropped image. To view the cropped image, select another cursor tool and the imagewill be shown in its final form. You can still see the original image withthe cropping mask in the thumbnails.

Re-selecting the crop tool at anytime will allow adjustment of the crop settings. The best practice is to drag the edges of the preview inwards the cursorwill turn into a two-way arrow until the desired crop has been achieved. To reposition the cropped area, click in the middle and the button willturn into a cross. Move the cropped area. When the desired result hasbeen achieved, select any other button from the cursor tool selector.

The crop will be applied and the updated preview will fill the viewer. How can I reuse a crop setting from an image to other images? Once an image has been cropped the settings can be copied andpasted to multiple images in the same way that other settings can be.

How can I set a crop aspect ratio? Select one of the predetermined Aspect Ratios from the drop-downmenu. Your crop will automatically be constrained to these aspectproportions. When you make a crop in an image the crop orientation landscape vs. How do I switch crop sizes on and off? How can I change the crop masking?

The crop masking can be changed in preferences. How do I revert to the uncropped image? Name the crop in a meaningfulway and then type in the ratio. By setting the ratio to 1 x 1, everyimage would be cropped to a square shape. This gives a similar result to using a crop ratio with a fixed destinationas above. One of the neat features about this setting is that the cropautomatically swaps between horizontal and vertical as you drag in theimage.

This allows the option to crop to a horizontal or vertical shapeaccording to what works the best. How does the crop settings work with outputting to fixed dimensions? The most precise way to crop an image to an exact size is to set processrecipe to, the output desired, i. Create an aspect ratio that isthe same dimensions of the desired print size.

For example, an 8 x 10print is desired. I will create an aspect ratio that is 8 x Consequentlywhen I apply a crop, the crop will fit an 8×10 sheet of paper regardlessor image orientation. Nothing is more irritating than an image where the horizon is just a fewdegrees away from horizontal or a vertical building that is crooked. Capture One was the first RAW workflow software to allow rotation.

Capture One 5 now offers an even more sophisticated straightening tool. How do I straighten an image? Fine tune the straightening or rotating by mouse scroll overthe slider, this way you will change the degree of rotation by 0. Straight line guide If I need to straighten an image, when should I crop? It is easier to rotate the image first, as the software automatically cropsthe rotated image to the maximum usable dimensions. Can I apply straighten or crop settings to a group of images?

To apply to a group of images,first copy adjustments, edit the copied adjustments inAdjustmentsClipboard Tab then select the imagefiles you wish to apply the cropand identical crop and rotations will be applied to all images.

To enhance the functionality of the copy and paste settings, it is possibleto select which of the settings are pasted — see the Settings chapter fora full explanation of this feature. Rotate FreehandTo adjust the image by eye, move the slider on the angle tool to left orright.

A grid appears, making it easy to align vertical or horizontal lines. Capture One allows adjustments up of to 45 degrees. Fine tune therotation or rotating by mouse scroll over the slider, this way you willchange the degree of rotation by 0.

Rotate more than one image at the time, by first selecting the images,then simply pres Rotate icon. The Focus Mask is perfectly suited for the portrait and fashionFeaturephotographer.

Focus mask is a guide to the sharp areas ofyour image files this way you can check the entire imagefile without having to zoom in and out constantly. The default Threshold setting will normally provide a correct marking ofthe areas of your image that are in focus. The sensitivity of Thresholdcan be changed, if you prefer a more narrow judgment of the area infocus just adjust the Threshold sensitivity for a lower value, if you wanta wider judgment let Threshold sensitivity be of a higher value.

You can create presets to match your preferred settings, to avoidredoing the adjustment of the tool. How can I check the sharpness of my capture? The Focus Tool will allow you to check a defined area in a zoompercentage of your choice e.

The Focus tool can be placed onany tab you prefer by right-clicking on the individual tab — or you canhave the tool free floating.

Select the Focus Point picker in the cursor tools or in the Focus Toolwindow and select the area you want to check. Thefocus window will now automatically update any new shot when youselect it — to show the sharpness of the same area on each shot.

If you are working on multiple image files the focus tool will refer to theprimary image file, Focus Tool is working the same way on variants theFocus Tool is reflecting the primary variant. The Capture One sharpening is a newly designed andenhanced unsharp mask. The purpose is to compensate for the effect ofinternal filters in all DSLRs that soften the image and to compensate for thesoftening effect that occurs when the images are printed.

By default, Capture One sharpening settings have been configuredto provide a good looking image on screen. Additionally, the softwarecomes with a number of presets that are accessed from the pull-downmenu. Any of these presets can be activated and set as a default forall images.

When an image is destined for post-production or retouching in othersoftware, it is recommend processing the image without sharpening applied. How do I sharpen an image? Capture One has a range of presets, formulated to provide good startingpoints for sharpening images for most purposes.

Typically, an image that is sharpened, for print or press, will look overlysharp on screen but produce a pleasing result when printed. Inkjet printers vary, from small desktop models, to ultra-wide, largeformat machines. Start with the supplied inkjet setting, check the result and if desired,adjust. If you modify the settings, then the new settings may be nameduniquely and saved as a preset.

What settings are needed for printing in a magazine or brochure? If your images are processed for later printing it varies how muchSharpening is needed, a good starting point would be:Amount: Radius: 0. How can I see the effects of the sharpening? The effects of sharpening and noise reduction are shown as they willappear in the final image, in the viewer. A rule of thumb for sharpening used to be that the image should lookover-sharp on screen to look correct in print. These ideas have beensuperseded.

The current thinking is that a 2 stage workflow is better. First sharpenthe fine detail in the image. Use the capture or raw pre-sharpening setting. Secondly, a more aggressive sharpening affect can be used. This should beapplied when the image has been sized according to printing dimensions. Can I turn off image sharpening? There is no sharpening applied behind the scenes.

Sharpeningis a skill that is learned over time. If you feel insecure on the right amounts of sharpening, try out oneof the many Sharpening presets, after selecting the preset, you canalways edit the parameters further This noise is caused bythe light sensitive chip, regardless of ISO.

Normally this noise is morevisible at high ISO values. Higher Noise levels at high ISO values are caused because the signalhas been amplified.

LuminanceRemoves the pattern-like noise often present in shadow areas. Bestpractice is to set Luminance to 25, even for low ISO images. It is very difficult to recommend specific settings asnoise varies from camera to camera, but the program defaults providea good starting point. The viewer provides a clear view of the effect offilters on image noise. How can I remove noise from images?

Noise should be removed from the images using a combination of theabove tools. Capture One automatically applies some noise reductionto images, based on the ISO and exposure data from the camera that iscontained in the image metadata. The default settings provide a goodstarting point for further adjustments. What kind of noise can I remove in Capture One? Capture One allows the removal of luminance and color noise fromimages using the color and luminance noise reduction sliders.

Tip:Both sharpening and noise reduction toolsallow the user to create presets, making itextremely easy to create regular settings for aspecific camera or type of image.

Contrast is one of the variables to be used when adjusting hazy images,but the new PRO tool Clarity has proven to be an extremely effectivetool. Clarity is adjusting contrast and slightly also sharpness on basis of pixelfrequency. How can I smoothen the surface on my portrait? When the Clarity slider is pulled to negative values, the surface of theimage will be slightly smoothened, as the Clarity will lower the contrastand sharpness slightly.

This tool is a great advantage for the many photographers that docomposite portraits, as this does a gentler job than most 3rd partyapplications. Start by providing a small portion of amount, just until you see an effect,then ad pattern until you see a change and then finish with more amount.

Smoothening a surface will always affect the feeling of a sharp image,but the Surface slider in the Noise Reduction Advanced tool willsmoothen the look of surfaces, and at the same time work more gentlyon the edges on the images, this will provide a sharper look. On the example you see the original image shows colornoise as well assome pixel noise, the color noise is removed by adding a little amountof color noise reduction, then add some Surface noise reduction, andnote that the edges are still perfectly sharp.

How can I avoid my image looking too polished? When using Smoothen or negative clarity, you may produce an imagefile showing a surface that are too polished, in this case it can be agood idea to add a bit of structure in the image which will create a morenatural look on the image file.

Adding fine grains should be used with caution, but used in the rightamount, in coherence with the Surface tool, you can do quite a largeincrease on high ISO photography. How can I remove long exposure artifacts and high ISOnoise?

When shooting Long exposure photography, you mightexperience the so-called hot-pixels a single pixel appearingwhite when it should have been dark. As thefilter will analyze single pixels compared to the surrounding area, andcorrect the errors, but at you will find that Long Exposure tool arevery powerful tool.

Just like many of the adjustments tools, you should always use this toolwith caution, lesser is better, and do check the complete result beforeprocessing. Dust is not uncommon when doing medium format photography, ofcourse a lot can be avoided, by using air, and keeping the protectionplate on the back as clean as possible, still the chip creating the imageis by far too sensitive to not see a tiny, tiny dust particle.

Dust particles will always appear to be unsharp, the Dust removal toolis created to find the unsharp edges, and remove the dust particleperfectly by analyzing the underlying colors. The dust removal tool is a part of the spot removal tool. After selecting dust removal tool in the Type drop-down menu you cannow mark up the dust spots on the image using the spot cursor tool. The size of the spot cursor tool can be adjusted by pulling the sidesof the cursor tool circle or by using the Radius slider; the dust removalcircle is moved by placing the cursor inside the circle and moving it.

Switch between the individual removal circles in the Spot drop-downmenu, the active marking is orange – this way you can change the sizeof a circle from dust to spot removal and adjust size. When all dust particles are marked up and removed, it will under normalcircumstances be a true time saver to copy the dust removal filters andpaste into the rest of your images, as the dust particle normally do notmove.
