Leaf Capture v. 11
Leaf Capture workflow software
The leader in speed and image quality
Designed expressly to maximize productivity with Leaf Aptus-II digital camera backs, the latest Leaf Capture software is the professional photographer’s tool to quickly and easily move from image capture to print.

New and Improved Features
With input from leading photographers for ongoing improvements, Leaf has added the features required to quickly compose your images, while improving the overall package. The intuitive user interface guides you through the image capture workflow. Use it to check and perfect your images while you shoot, including live video preview. Ideal for high-volume productions on tight deadlines, such as catalogs and fashion shoots. Leaf Capture is the fastest tethered workflow application for commercial shooting. Adjust images on a Mac or PC to match the creative demands of portrait, fashion, and commercial photography.

Outstanding Image Quality
With unmatched shooting, adjusting and processing capabilities, Leaf Capture will enable you to produce outstanding quality images with fine details, accurate colors, and virtually no noise.


Remote image preview on wireless devices
The new Leaf Capture Remote for iPhone app turns wireless devices, such as the iPhone or iPod Touch, into remote image viewers. While you are shooting tethered using Leaf Capture software, a client or creative director can quickly and conveniently view selected medium-resolution files of your images from any
Wi-Fi network.
 
Compare On the Shoot
Use Compare View to evaluate any number of original RAW images and find the best shot in a series of images by comparing them to one another in-sync. It optimizes your work area by intelligently arranging images and correcting their orientation. Quickly and easily compare multiple images to choose the perfect shot.
 
Quickly Verify Focus
You can quickly check focus while shooting
your images by using Leaf Capture’s Loupe Tool, viewing an area of the image or any thumbnail at a scale of 100%. With the Detail Window permanently open in 100% view you can center on a spot while shooting is in progress.
 
Manage with Greater Flexibility
Leaf Capture´s Live View allows you to see, in real-time, a video-like image in Leaf Capture´s Live View display, also with dual monitor support. Another true time-saver is Leaf Capture´s grid and layout overlay functionality. Digital files received from art directors are easily imported into the software and displayed on the monitor. Once you´ve edited your shots you can start processing the images. Since the selected image processes run in the background, you can open and work on other images, or continue your shooting session, without affecting the image processing.
 
Save Production Time
Another true time-saver is Leaf Capture’s grid and layout overlay functionality. Digital files received from art directors are easily imported into the application and displayed on the monitor. Once you’ve edited your shots you can start processing the images. Since the selected image processes run in the background, you can open and work on other images, or continue your shooting session without affecting the image processing. Take advantage of your Mac workstation’s full capabilities, with multiple monitor support. Your assistant can even review your images on-site on another monitor, while you continue to shoot.
 
Reproduce Colors More Accurately
The Color Temperature and Tint sliders allow you to more accurately compensate for varying lighting conditions. For example, when shooting on location or without a gray card, use the Temperature Slider to balance your image color.


Adjustable Histogram
The adjustable histogram features the dynamic range a photographer needs, from 11 f-stops under to 3 f-stops over. Since the back has more dynamic range than a standard offset press can handle, by marking the dynamic range in the histogram you can adjust the ratios so that they fall in the dynamic range of the press and you can still have more shadow detail for digital work or your own prints.


Clean up and Remove Moiré
Leaf Capture allows you to quickly and easily perfect your images directly on the shoot.The new Moiré Removal Tool is easy to use, removing moiré directly in the RAW files. Manual masking ensures that you control exactly where the Moiré Removal Tool works, by selecting locations for moiré suppression. Leaf Capture ensures moiré removal without blurring or loss of detail, keeping the image´s original sharpness.
