Steve Hendrix and I recently visited my old alum, Daytona State College. We demonstrated the power and versatility of Phase One DBs and Capture One Pro 4.7. It was a great to see all of my former instructors … and the Piccadilly lunch! I found out it’s a DSC tradition. I wanted to thank everyone for their hospitality. I also visited Anna Tomczak, another former instructor, at her studio in Lake Helen. She loved the P30+ V that I showed her!

More iPhone Photo Apps
April 6, 2009 | Tech Features, Tips & Tech
We received so much positive feedback about our Photo iPhone Apps article we knew we had to continue the series.
Canon 5D II Mini-Manual
This 5D II is one of our weekend recreational cameras as a company, but it has so many features that even we get dizzy! This app is a mini guide to the functions, features, and menus of the camera. It’s like having the most important part of the user’s manual in your pocket at all times. Documentation includes all the basic controls such as shooting, auto focus, and metering modes. Advanced controls including bracketing, white balance, custom functions, menu settings reference, and quick help section.

Air Mouse (Requires free Air Mouse Server)
Don’t let the name fool you. This app’s great power for a photographer is to remotely enter up to four different keyboard shortcuts. Effectively freeing you from needing to be near the computer to trigger a tethered camera, zoom in to 100%, zoom to fit, tag an image, or hide/show the browser (thumbnails). See the instructions below. Outside of this specific use Air Mouse can also be used to control the mouse itself allowing theoretically any function to be completed remotely; however, in pratical use this can be challanging to do at any great distance (it can be hard to see the mouse).

C1 4.7 Pro Tip: Checking Focus Mid-Burst
April 3, 2009 | Tips & Tech
The Problem: When shooting at the maximum speed of a Phase One digital back or Canon/Nikon dSLR the 100% focus window may never fully resolve, making it impossible to check the focus of images as they come in.
Capture One 4.7 Pro includes several ways to check focus in the middle of a stream of images.
Method 1
Set [Camera > Auto Select New Capture > Never]. New images will still be captured and placed in the thumbnail list; however, the program will not automatically select the new image which gives you the flexibility to select images and check their focus at your own pace.
Method 2
Set [Camera > Auto Select New Capture > Immediately]. When a new image is captured it will be immediatly displayed. This creates a steady “stream” of images on the screen during heavy shooting. To check the focus of a particular image press the Return (a.k.a. “Enter”) key. The currently selected image (denoted by a while border) will become a “compare variant” (denoted by a yellow border) which will remain on the screen even as the next image in the stream is selected. You can either zoom in on that image, or use “Window > Viewer” to bring up a separate view of the two images so that both the focus-check view and the zoom-to-fit vew are shown. This later method requires considerable computer power and is best done on a fast 8-core tower fully optomized for speed.

C1 4.7 Tip: Making Small JPGs Very Quickly
April 3, 2009 | Tips & Tech
Capture One 4.7 includes a very powerful tool to quickly create small JPGs of a large number of Raw files. However, it is a bit obscured by the form it takes: the “Make Web Contact Sheet” command. This article will outline how to use Make Web Contact Sheet for Small JPG Previews.
Step by Step
1. Select the images you wish to make small JPG previews of
2. File > Make Web Contact Sheet
3. Select the Preview Size you wish to use, up to 1000px in the horizontal (verticals are limited to 650px)
4. Select an Output Location where the Web Contact Sheet will temporarily reside while you extract the JPG previews
5. Export
6. Open the Folder of the Web Contact Sheet and Navigate to [Photos > Previews]. See below.
7. Move the JPG Previews wherever you want.
More Tips:
No matter how you select to name the thumbnails in the Web Contact Sheet the Previews folder will contain JPGs named the same as the raw file. So be sure to use Batch Rename to establish what ever naming scheme prior to exporting to maintain consistent naming throughout the editing/feedback/retrieval/retouching stages.
You can set up a batch action in Photoshop to add watermarks to this folder of JPG previews.
HTML/CSS junkies can modify Theme > ContactSheet.css in any given Web Contact Sheet folder to play with the CSS used to generate the style of the Web Contact Sheet. Permemenant changes to the CSS may be able to be made by opening the package contents of [CaptureOne.app > Contents > Resources > Web Contact Sheet > Themes > Light or Dark > Dark.css or Light.css], but this methodology has not been tested.
