8.7 4 simple steps to calibrate on fixed lenses (PC)
1. Hold the calibration plate in front of the xed lens (as close as
possible), and capture. In order to ensure correct exposure you may
have to open up a few f-stops or in a very dark setup, put on more light
directly onto the plate.
2. In the Capture One software you select the ‘calibration’ image and
click on the “Generate…” button (the LCC tool is located under the
white balance tab).
3. Give the calibration le a name that corresponds to the lens in use or
the set-up (e.g. 45mmDaylight)
4. Select the calibration le: “45mm Daylight” from the “Lens CC” drop-
down list and set a checkmark in the “Apply LCC for next Captures”.
If working with large format cameras with tilt and swing, you would have
to make a new calibration le if you change the tilt and swing position.
When using LCC in combination with large format capture and image
stitching you must capture one calibration le per image and make sure
that you match the calibration le to the right image prior to stitching.
