Capture One Question

I'm not familiar with the Capture One software that came with my Leica M8, and I am wondering, once I open a RAW file with Capture One, how do I transfer it over to PSCS for post processing as a TIFF file?

 

Thanks,

Wilfredo, I had exactly the same question when I started a few days ago.

 

I take it you have opened a directory on the left and have the photo in the center portion where you can work on it.

 

Do the Crop, the WB, the Exposure, and the Focus. Then Click on the bottom tab (Process?) and then click on the +-sign above the white box to the right. The actions will be carried out and the file will be saved as a tiff (you set this up along the way in the preferences) in the appropriate folder.

 

In windoze, the tiff gets saved in

WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color\.....(files).

 

I now keep all my working files in this directory, including the ones from PSCS2 and those from Neat Image.

 

G'luck and regards,

I don't know where this comes from unless it is the default directory immediately after installation. You simply need to change it when you go to process your files.

 

The location of the processed tif files can be anywhere on the computer. I usually save them in a folder titled "Deveolped" inside the folder that has the raw files.

 

For instance If the folder that contains the raw files is titled "Images ABC", then my tif files will be in "Images ABC/Developed" The process tab in C-1 has an icon that you click on to setup the location for the processed files. This is where you can enable a default setting to always create a sub folder named "Developed" inside the current raw folder. Of course you can set it to some other location if you like but I prefer to have them in a sub folder of the raw files.

 

I hope this helps.

Set up your processed folder as described above. Also, in the process tab at the bottom of the window there is a checkbox after the words Automatically Open Processed Images. If that is checked the files will automatically open in Photoshop or whatever you have selected as your default image processor.
