Chapter 11 - Using the software
creatinG a web contact sheet
To output a group of images to a web based contact sheet, select the images and
choose File > Make Web Contact Sheet.
A dialogue presents itself offering the opportunity to provide information such as title,
description, etc.
The best practice is to choose the dark grey background color. Light grey background color option
is also available, if preferred.
An amazing feature of the web contact sheet is that the size of the images and thumbnails can be
customized. If you have access to a secure server or a password-protected web folder, it makes
sense to preview images to clients at 800 pixels so they can see the quality of the images. You can
see the pixel size of thumbnails or preview size when adjusting the slider; the number indicates how
many pixels the images are wide.
Once all options have been selected, choosing Export outputs a complete folder to add to your
web site.
It is important that the name is in lower case and without spaces – you can use hyphens or
underscores.

When generating a Web Contact Sheet, Capture One uses the generated proxies in order to
achieve a much faster result. However, if the proxies have not been generated yet, the
Web Contact Sheet must wait for this to happen. This can take quite some time, so if you are
experiencing slow progress in the sheet, missing proxies is most likely to be the reason.

When asked for a name after export, remember that the name you choose will be the folder name
and will appear on your web site – for example: www.adomain.com/foldername
