For higher ISO images you can leave it at the default. You can start to raise this again if you find it’s too low and there's too much noise. You may get a little grain in you out of focus areas or solid colours, but you will also have more details in areas of fine textures. For ISO 200 - 800 I suggest turning this off altogether. This, again, is too high for typical low to normal ISO images. ![]() Secondly, is the Luminance noise reduction slider in the noise reduction section. Just set it to zero for the most part, and raise it if it’s too low.įor the most part the other sliders here are fine for most normal images, and I’m not going to go into the details of what they do right now, although the amount slider should be pretty obvious! Again it's subtle, and if this is confusing don’t worry about it, it’s not something you really need to deal with normally. What I mean by this is that unlike a “falloff” there is no gradation between sharp and not sharp, as defined by the threshold. One of the other issues with the threshold is that it is a hard cut-off as far as I know. If you find it’s sharpening the background noise too much you can raise it again to the point where you feel it is better. The difference can be subtle, but it adds a little crispness to the texture of your image. for the most part, the defaults are ok, however, in my opinion, the threshold is too high, and for low iso images (200-1600) you don’t really need this turned up at all, so I set this to zero. There are two things that you need to focus on, and both can be found in the detail panel (the little magnifying glass). If you’re using the full “Pro” version of Capture One, you can use this trick to proof your images while in the software. If you’re adjusting sharpening zoomed out, you may find that you’re over-sharpening to compensate and you images will be over-processed when exporting. ![]() The reason for this is that Capture One doesn’t render everything fully at lower zoom levels, and it also agressively anti-aliases the image. The first and most important thing to do is zoom to 1:1 when adjusting sharpening in Capture One. Basically, in my opinion, the defaults are a little heavy handed with the processing and I suggest making some changes. ![]() This limitation is influenced by RAW resolution, preview resolution, output size, and geometric corrections (lens distortion, rotation, keystone).The above video walks you through the process, but for those that prefer to read what to do, here is the summary. At even lower resolutions, we switch to using the preview file, making hot pixel correction more challenging. When the output resolution is low enough, we employ a faster and more cost-effective RAW processing pipeline that may not effectively handle hot pixels. Limitation: The single pixel noise reduction may not be included on lower resolution exports. Remember to try and check the final result before processing.Ĭheck the effect in the Viewer at 100% magnification. The Single Pixel slider, like many other adjustments tools, should always be used with caution and in moderation. Applying adjustments appropriately as the Single Pixel effect is very powerful especially at its maximum. The filter will analyze single pixels compared to the surrounding area and correct the errors. The Single Pixel slider can be used (in the Noise Reduction tool) to eliminate hot-pixels, although it can also affect the rest of the image. Images that are exposed using a long shutter speed may be susceptible to the occasional ‘hot-pixel’, which is a single white pixel that should appear dark.
