Saturation bar

abs
I just downloaded the trial version of C1 Pro and I have no saturation bar in the 'Exposure' section on the right panel. I see in help that it is supposed to be there under the 'Raw RGB' and 'Destination' preview areas. What shoud I do to enable that bar ?

Best regards.[/img]

    abs,

    Good eye, it appears the Help is using an older version ScreenShot.
    Look above histogram at the Exposure Tab.
    3 slider tools exist that are:
    EC: - Exposure Compensation
    CC: - Contrast Compensation
    CS: - Color Saturation

    Cheers,

    Oh, it was easy 😊 Thanks.

    One more question: I open a collection and C1 displays thumbnails. Right after that it changes the color temperature of each file to very cold. Why it happens and how can I turn if off ?

    Best regards.

    abs,

    The Thumbnails change because Color Management is applied to them. Upon reading the EXIF iformation, Capture One applies the camera used to get the correct camera profile set, and White Balance information to set the color balance derived from capture.

    Not all in-camera White Balance information is read by Capture One, i.e. Nikon D2x while other cameras set WB is established at WB tab as Shot Changing the WB selection, or establishing from neutral are of image or from Macbeth/true Grey card, will improve the color accordingly.
    See Tips & Tricks regarding White Balance:

    Be sure a color calibration for your monitor has been done and the correct profile is loaded in Color Management. Also be sure the desired color space is set in the Output Destination (working space)

    Hope this helps out.

    What is a desirable color space to set in the Output Destination (besides Adobe RGB 1998) ?

    bernardtan,

    Truly depends on what you are outputting to. Printers are different so testing is necessary.
    If web site images, sRGB is appropriate
    Kodak paper - Adobe RGB (1998) is best
    Fuji paper - sRGB
    Some believe the ProPhoto RGB is better.
    Commercial press printing - CMYK

    Color Space = Taste ...what do you like or more importantly, what do your customers like.

    With regards to commercial printing w/c utilizes CMYK, In our country (asia) we use U.S. web coated (SWOP)v2 - not euro w/c C1Workflow is on default when altering our photoshop settings after installing, it would be safer for us here that C1 detects which country the software would be used. Most people just use the default thus wrong colors results.
