Phase One Press Release

Phase One A/S, Photo Plus East, New York, US (October 20, 2005): Phase One®, the world leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce a brand new Color Moiré Suppression tool with the latest version of Capture One 3.7.2 PRO and DB (Mac only). The technology behind this tool is patented by Phase One.

With the new Moiré tool, photographers can effectively suppress and remove color Moiré in images from the range of Phase One digital backs listed here:
• H25 and H 20
• All existing and new P-backs

The new Moiré Suppression Tool is easy to use and it gives the photographers a number of advantages in their efforts to suppress Moiré:
• Removes color Moiré directly when processing the raw image
• Moiré removal settings can be applied to other raw files
• Auto masking ensures that the Moiré Suppression Tool only works in areas with high risk of having Moiré
• Moiré mask can be visualized and adjusted
• The effect of Moiré Suppression Tool can be inspected in the Focus tool

The new intelligent tool does more than suppressing visible color Moiré, it automatically detects areas in the image that have or may have color Moiré. It is very easy to use and by changing just one parameter in the tool, Moiré can be totally eliminated in e.g. different fabrics. This is done directly in the RAW file even before converting to TIFF or JPEG. This ensures image quality and saves time for the photographer — issues which are of great importance to professional photographers.

DeMoirize plug-in to Adobe Photoshop
The new tool is not the only way to handle Moiré when shooting with a Phase One camera back — photographers can always remove Moiré with Capture One even if the new Color Moiré Suppression Tool is not available for their RAW files yet. Capture One comes with a very efficient Moiré Suppression Tool called DeMoirize. It is installed as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop and works on TIFF files instead of RAW files. It efficiently suppresses color Moiré in textiles, on skin and hair and on other objects.
