Setting dimensions according to resolution in the Process Recipe tool

Capture One’s Basic settings tab is used to set an image resolution when processing to JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and PSD. The default setting is 300 ppi (px/in).

The Scale option beneath is used either to resize or resample. ​Capture One will only resize when the Scale option is set to Fixed (100 %). Resizing uses the native pixel count, adjusting the dimensions according to the specified resolution.

In general, this option (300 ppi, Fixed 100%) should be adopted unless a certain resolution and specific dimensions are required.

1. Highlight the recipe (or, preferably, create a new dedicated recipe) to edit from the list in the Process Recipes dialog.
   
   
2. Go to Resolution under the Basic tab in the Process Recipe tool and enter the required resolution (e.g., 300 px/in).
   
   
3. Set the Scale fly-out menu to Fixed 100%. When any setting other than Fixed (100%) is selected from the Scale fly-out menu, Capture One will resample the image based on the specified resolution and image dimensions.
   
   
4. In the Process Summary dialog, verify the maximum dimensions for the selected resolution in the Size field (e.g., 18.72 x 12.8 in (5616 x 3744 px).
   
   
5. As an option to increase or decrease the dimensions, return to Step 2 and enter a lower or higher resolution respectively. Verify the values again in the Size field located in the Process Summary (click inside the dialog to update the value).
   
   
6. After verifying, click the Process button in the Process Recipes dialog to output the selected images.
