Compatibility and Features
Capture One Cultural Heritage is available for both Mac and Windows. This professional Rapid Capture Solution is tailored for the cultural heritage community, building on the robust capabilities of the renowned Capture One software. The Cultural Heritage edition provides a specialised feature set that enhances reprographic workflows significantly during both capture and post-production phases. Workspaces in Capture One CH are logically organised with collections of tools customised to optimise specific cultural heritage workflows, covering everything from preparation and production to file storage. Specialised ICC profiles ensure high colour accuracy, remaining effective despite minor variations in lighting over time.
Productivity and Workflow
Capture One CH leverages an advanced image rendering engine to deliver outstanding image quality. Users gain access to powerful adjustment tools for fine-tuning images for final presentation, along with robust digital asset management for efficient archive and retrieval. For Windows users, the Slipstream mode offers a touchscreen-friendly interface designed for high-volume, flat object digitisation, simplifying operations for non-specialist staff.
Auto Crop & Straighten
Increase productivity with automated cropping features in post-processing. Options include specific settings for flat art reproduction or book digitisation, featuring corner or edge alignment and customisable padding. The on-capture multi-crop script is particularly efficient for scanning books that do not require the full resolution of the camera.
Camera Focus with Autocolumn and PPI-Assist
The Camera Focus Tool, combined with PPI-Assist and precise contrast-based autofocus, simplifies achieving the highest imaging standards. Users can select the desired resolution, field of view, or magnification ratio, and the tool advises on optimal camera positioning with an accuracy within 2ppi. This precision meets and exceeds the standards of key reproduction guidelines such as FADGI and Metamorfoze. Integration with other features like AutoCrop significantly increases system productivity, especially when operated by less trained personnel or during large batch processing.
ICC Profiles
Capture One CH includes ICC profiles optimised for colour precision and three-dimensional gradients. These profiles are compatible with various studio lighting types, including flash, LED, and tungsten, and are also tailored for different film types.
Slipstream simplified UI
The Slipstream mode in Capture One CH for Windows streamlines the digitisation of large volumes of flat documents. Its simplified user interface allows less skilled operators to manage large-scale digitisation projects efficiently, speeding up the overall workflow for extensive collections and document volumes in need of digitisation.
