![]() The layer is automatically named with the chosen Style or Preset when the Apply to New Layer (i.e., a new filled layer) option is chosen.Īlthough certain Presets can be stacked, you cannot add more than one Style to the same layer. Working directly from the Style and Presets panel has a similar workflow to that of most of the other tools and enables you to choose the effect first before deciding on the layer to apply it to, whether to the background, selected layer or a new filled layer. You can see the resulting file name for the selected variant in the Sample field ( DSCF2362-IG in this case).See our video tutorial here – new for Capture One 23Ĭapture One enables you to apply a Style or Preset to a layer either as a new filled layer to use as an offset or an empty layer to apply adjustments in further. Notice, that final file name ( Format) is composed of two tokens: the Image Name is an original file name, and Sub Name is the value from process recipe. It is not sufficient to fill Sub Name in process recipes to have exported files named correctly – you need to use this value too. Other settings are the same as for standard Instagram recipe except I use different Sub Name in File panel to distinguish files for cropping later – I use the -IGc suffix here. For 2:3 portrait it will be 1620 pixels, so I then crop 270 pixels out in Affinity Photo to get 4:5 ratio. The height of the image is computed using the original aspect ratio. For this purpose, I have created a different process recipe called Instagram Portrait Crop:Īs you can see, the final size is limited by the width of 1080 pixels. The advantage is that this way you don’t have additional unnecessary variants in your Capture One catalog. I prefer to export the 1080 pixels wide image and do the crop in the Affinity Photo when adding the watermark. If you don’t mind creating a different crop for Instagram, you can do it in Capture One (best using a special variant of an image) and then export it as described above. Then you will need to add borders in some photo editor (Capture One cannot do it for you) to get 1080×1350 image like this: For example, if your image is 2:3 portrait, it will be exported as 900×1350 pixels. If you don’t want to change the composition, you need to add borders (mostly white or black) to the image to maintain a 4:5 ratio. But what if your photo is a portrait-oriented with the different aspect ratio? You can upload such photos directly to Instagram and just disable automatic square cropping during submitting. I don’t do any other processing or sharpening in Affinity Photo – it was done during Capture One export.Īs I said, this export works perfectly for landscape-oriented images, for portrait-oriented images with 4:5 aspect ratio and squares. I export final images for sharing – I use JPEG with 100 % quality for Instagram and PNG for Facebook.Sometimes, I also crop the image for Instagram in this step. After exporting, I open TIFF files for Facebook and Instagram in Affinity Photo, add watermarks and save both files with layers that allow me to remove or reposition watermark later. I use the TIFF format for exporting because I am adding watermark to images and I don’t want to degrade image quality by editing JPEGs.If you use Capture One Express, you can use the same settings in Export Variants dialog. Thanks to recipes it is easy to create files for both platforms at one time. I use Process Recipes I have created for Facebook and Instagram. I export photos from Capture One in final sizes.Over time I fine-tuned a workflow with which I achieve optimal image quality when publishing photos to social media: Using Process Recipes in Output tool tab makes it easier as you can set different sharpening for each recipe, but this feature is available only in Capture One Pro. And you absolutely should not sharpen photos exported in full size – then no sharpness degradation occurs so additional sharpening would lead to over-sharpened image. Other settings may be suitable in case when you downscale photo only a little. For higher resolutions, you may need to experiment a bit. ![]() ![]() The same settings will work for other Fujifilm cameras with the same sensors and you can try them even if you use different cameras with a similar resolution between 20 and 24 megapixels. Sharpening: Output Sharpening for Screen. ![]() ![]() These values work reasonably well for my cameras Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T3 cameras: It offers many possibilities I am thoroughly describing in my e-book, but you can manage many common scenarios like exporting for social media with single settings. ![]()
