Digital cameras however, record colours from around 350nm to 1,000nm, more than we can see, and usually have “hot mirror filters” to block UV and IR light in the interests of recording more accurate colours. At less than 400nm there is ultraviolet light and at more than 750nm there is infrared, neither of which we can see. The wavelength of visible light ranges from 400 nanomentres (nm) (violet) to 750 nm (red). Processing is particularly important to most forms of digital infrared photography, particularly where you are starting with a colour image. I have more information on what infrared is all about in my previous post Introduction to Infrared Photography. Others might skim down to see the processes of image transformation without bothering to contemplate the details of how it is done. This is a technical post that is mainly of interest to those shooting infrared, or contemplating doing so, and also processing in Capture One, or contemplating doing so. I will also briefly touch on processing in Photoshop and Lightroom. If you also want to see these adjustments coming from a certain Preset, you should check the “include style layers” checkbox on the top of the Clipping board.Click on any image to see it larger (If you are on a PC at least).Ĭapture One is generally thought to not be a very capable infrared editor though as I will show, this is not the case. This operation will ensure the right settings are applied. If you want to apply the corrections to other images, you can just copy the settings to the Clipping board and apply them to the selected images. To remove a stacked Preset, you can either click on the Preset again or use the remove option found when pressing the triangle in the “Applied … Presets” list. If you stack Presets where the individual parameters are not independent, the last Preset you add will be the one that takes effect. By stacking these Presets, we combine them within a single tool giving you a nice color look, reminiscent of the early days of color films. Now you can select the Preset “Exposure +1/3” as well as the Preset “Old Colors”. Now a check mark indicates that stacking is turned on. Start by selecting the “Stack Presets” menu. I name this Preset “Old Colors”.īy default, the “Stack Presets” is turned off. I save this Preset and make sure that only contrast and saturation are selected in the save dialog. I set the contrast to +18 and the saturation to -56. Next, I will generate a Preset giving the look and feel of old color films. This is important, as I will later combine this Preset with Presets using contrast and exposure. As the exposure is the only change, it is the only item that has been checked in the save dialog. I set the exposure compensation to 0.33 and press “Save User Preset” in the Manage and Apply drop-down menu. To show how you can stack Presets within a single tool, I will create two different adjustment Presets which I will combine by allowing Capture One to stack Presets.įirst, I will create an Exposure adjustment Preset pushing the exposure by 1/3 f-stop. You can stack this Preset with a Preset that turns your image into a square crop format and with a Preset that adds some general color corrections. When working with Styles, it makes a lot of sense to be able to stack Styles or Presets as they may come from different tools dealing with separate issues.įor instance, you can make a Preset that adds some basic metadata to your images like ‘creator’ and ‘copyright’. But what happens in case of two or more conflicting adjustments? Which will be saved and which will be overridden?įor each tool, you decide whether you will allow stacking of Presets, and as long as two Presets do not conflict with each other, it makes sense to stack them within a single tool.įor Styles, you also have the option of stacking. Without the stacking option you would only be able to apply one Style or Preset to each image and trying to apply a second one would remove the previous.īut with stacking enabled, you can mix and match several of these pre-configured adjustments. In Capture One you have the option of combining several Styles and Presets in one image. To learn more about our latest version, click here.
