This tab lets you control where the file is output.
I set this to 2400px when outputting for the web because when used on a retina or HDI display, it will be the correct with of 1200px for my website. My favourite choice here is “Long Edge” which set the size for the longest edge of your image, and it will scale it to that. Here you can set it to a fixed percentage, or set one of the dimensions, and you will get options to set those dimensions in physical units, such as inches or cm, or pixels. Scale: this option does control the output dimensions.If you choose the scale as pixels or percentage, this won’t set your output pixel dimensions. Note that this will only affect the pixel dimensions if you set your dimension in inches or cm. Resolution lets you set the dpi or ppi.If you don’t see this option here, select “Show All” from the bottom of the pop-up menu. If you’re sending it on to be further edited, use Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB. If you’re outputting for the web choose sRGB. ICC Profile: Sets the colour profile of your exported image.Quality: Sets the quality of a Jpeg File.Here you can choose 8bit or 16 bit depending on the file format. Bit Depth: Beside the format pop-up, is another pop-up for setting bit depth.As far as I know, this is not demosaiced, so you can’t use this to create a file like you would with something like Iridient X-Transformer. If you choose DNG, you will create a RAW file with the DNG wrapper. You can elect various versions of Jpeg, Tiff, PSD, PNG and DNG. Format: This lets you select which file format you use.Here are the options in the Basic tab and what they do: Most of these are self-explanatory, so I won’t go through everything, but I will cover some of the more important ones. Now, let’s go through some of the key options in each of these panels. Watermark: Add and place a watermark on your image.Metadata: Controls what metadata to include.Adjustments: Controls whether to respect crop or not, and whether to include sharpening or not.File: Set options for where the resulting file will go.Basic: Here, you set things like file format, resolution and so on.
When you create a new recipe, you set its parameters in the “Process Recipe” tool, which you’ll find below the list of recipes. There are lots of parameters you can set as part of a Process Recipe.
This should create a recipe called “Untitled Recipe” in the Process Recipes list.
For the purposes of this exercise, just click on the plus to create a new recipe. If you click and hold on the + button, you will get a selection of templates to from which to start. To create a new Process Recipe, go to the Output Tool Tab, and at the bottom of the Process Recipes tool, click on the + button. If you have the express version of Capture One, you’re out of luck I’m afraid as it doesn’t have the Process Recipe function, but you can still export as usual. This is usually the last tab, and the icon for it looks like a little cog. To find process recipes, go to the Output tool tab on the capture one interface.
