Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #5  Posted November 6, 2006 Okay than go back to the Color Management preferences an hit destination. I use Relative Colorimetric.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #6  Posted November 6, 2006 Now the profile management setting is just picking the camera's that you will use . Now you can play with the rest of the settings on how you like to view C1 and naming of files if you want. i won't get into that part . So now lets move on to color space and processing Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #7  Posted November 6, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Okay now hit the processing button on tool switch . I have it painted in red.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #8  Posted November 6, 2006 Okay here is were the rubber hits the road. When you hit the processing button you are served up this menu usually on the opposite side. Now C1 has on the top some settingsalready there but I added a few to what I do on files. Now if you check more than one at the top it will also do those files also . So you can process a high res Tiff and a low res jpeg depending on what you want to do. Let's concentrate on the best image quality right out of the shoot. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #9  Posted November 6, 2006 Now notice on my selection of the High quality title that I have checked . i have some unusal stuff going on here . First lets pick Tiff and 16 bit and really you should be working in 16 bit and do all your work on a 16 bit file , like sharpening and stuff like this and if you want reduce to 8 bit after all that work is done and go to print.  Next is the profile , mine here is a custom profile from Joseph Holmes it is a very wide color space, i would use ProPoto RBG if you don't have a custom one get as much color depth in the files to work with.  Notice I also uprezed my DMR file. I found this works very well in C1 and the Max i go here is 150 than if more is need than I do it in PS or other software programs Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #10  Posted November 6, 2006 Now look at this when I hit the profile button , look at all the choices I have some are custom but a lot are standard . So pick ProPhoto RGB as a good wroking space. Now you need to take the same working space into PS Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #11  Posted November 6, 2006 Now that should at least get you in the right direction for color management. Now we need to go into PS and make those changes there also. So open CS@ or any version of photo shop and look for color settings.  Now look at what is setup in PS the RGB setting is the working space that i am working with so for me it is that custom profile the Dcam4,J.holmes working space. if this is a mismatch between C1 and PS than your files will look different. Make sure you have this the same as C1 which we Said Prophoto RGB is the widest standard color space, than follow the restof the settings there if you want Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #12 Â Posted November 6, 2006 Now that should get you going in at least the right direction and everything between the 2 programs should be a match. Â Skipping ahead if you bring a image in with the Prophoto space and you want to post to the web than you need to convert it to srgb. That you will see under edit in PS but let's stop here for now so at least you can everything setup correctly. now on Windows it is basically the same idea just it is setup slightly different and the look is different. Funny for the same software it is a major difference in they way they operate. Thanks and i hope this helps some folks. Â Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #13 Â Posted November 6, 2006 I apoligize for any typo's my fingers just can't folow my logic. In other words i suck at typing. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted November 6, 2006 Share #14 Â Posted November 6, 2006 BTW there is also another wide gamut space that you can work in and that is Color match . Now after all your work is down than you can convert back to Adobe RGB for printing or to send to clients Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbuckley Posted November 6, 2006 Share #20 Â Posted November 6, 2006 Guy - for those of us who a) use Macs, and have not used C1, yours is a delightfully helpful thread. May the UPS gods deliver you an M8 today in reward! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
