Sharpening is an essential process when working with images created by digital cameras. The
Capture One sharpening is a newly designed and enhanced unsharp mask. The purpose is to
compensate for the effect of internal filters in all DSLRs that soften the image and to compensate for
the softening effect that occurs when the images are printed.
By default, Capture One sharpening settings have been configured to provide a good looking image
on screen. Additionally, the software comes with a number of presets that are accessed from the pull-
down menu. Any of these presets can be activated and set as a default for all images.
When an image is destined for post-production or retouching in other software, we recommend
processing the image without sharpening applied.
How to sharpen an image
Capture One has a range of presets, formulated to provide good starting points for sharpening
images for most purposes.
If the concept of sharpening is unfamiliar, take a little time to look at how the settings change the
appearance of images on screen at 100%, and compare these to final prints.
Typically, an image that is sharpened, for print or press, will look overly sharp on screen but produce
a pleasing result when printed.
Inkjet printer settings
Inkjet printers vary, from small desktop models, to ultra-wide, large format machines.
Start with the supplied inkjet setting, check the result and if desired, adjust. If you modify the settings,
then the new settings may be named uniquely and saved as a preset.
