To indicate the format and size of the image that will be exported you should select the Format and Size tool in the Exporter.
- In the Format and Size tool select the Format field.
- Choose from one of the following options in the Format drop-down menu:
-
- JPEG - Creates a new 8-bit file with lossy compression to attain a smaller-sized file (e.g., compared to a TIFF) for convenience. The Quality setting determines the amount of compression applied and the file size. The lower the quality is, the smaller the file and the greater the loss of information are. JPEG compression also adds some noise to an image.
- JPEG QuickProof - This setting creates images for evaluation purposes. Capture One creates the image file from the settings files without additional calculations or filters. JPEG QuickProof should not be considered as a final file for distribution: it is ideal for ultra-quick evaluation purposes only.
- TIFF - Preserves maximum quality. TIFF is a lossless format. Selecting TIFF enables the option of 16-bit output for higher color accuracy and optimum quality.
- Options:
- TIFF files can additionally be compressed - both LZW and ZIP compression options are lossless.
- No Thumbnail - Enable to remove system-level thumbnail and further reduce file size.
- Tile Dimensions - Not Tiled (default). Tiles allow efficient compression and decompression of large high-resolution images (typically, in excess of 60MP). As only the image data required for display is decompressed, tiling can improve the browsing experience once processed to a full-size TIFF file.
- Options:
- DNG - Creates a new lossless RAW file based on the Digital Negative specification. There are no options available to modify the format. Adjustments and metadata added to the image are typically not retained.
- PNG - This option supports lossless data compression and is suitable for distribution, however, while PNG offers good compatibility with web-browsers, file sizes are usually larger than JPEG.
- PSD - Ensures optimum quality and compatibility with Adobe Photoshop and is ideally suited for working with layers. Available with 8-or 16-bit depth color option.
- JPEG - Creates a new 8-bit file with lossy compression to attain a smaller-sized file (e.g., compared to a TIFF) for convenience. The Quality setting determines the amount of compression applied and the file size. The lower the quality is, the smaller the file and the greater the loss of information are. JPEG compression also adds some noise to an image.
3. In the ICC Profile field you can choose the color space depending on the final purpose of an image file. Select Show All to view all the profiles available on the system.
4. Specify the required resolution in the Resolution field and from the Scale drop-down menu, either select the default Fixed 100% to use the resolution to resize the image (keeping the native pixel count unchanged) or select the print dimensions independently to resample the image. If not resizing images for the Web or to print, you can leave the setting to the defaults.

It would be helpful to include in item 4. on Resolution and Scale more information on how to scale-up best for large prints. Shall I select "Dimensions" for Scale and enter the final dimensions of the print, e.g. 120x80 cm?
Beim Export sind die unten angegebenen, geschätzten Dateigrößen oft ziemlich falsch wenn man die Bildgröße vorher verändert hat.
