Additionally, you can manually sort images according to the desired criteria, create smart albums and catalog your work. You can use the search and filtering tools to further refine your search and find the desired images.
File naming and metadata editing
By using the Metadata tools you can read, updated and edit the information and even narrow your image search using metadata criteria. The built-in renaming tools helps you create custom, token-based naming systems. You just have to define your own text and tokens naming pattern and apply it to multiple photos.
On top of the above mentioned tools and features, Capture One helps you adjust and enhance your images, change their exposure and clarity. When you are happy with your changes you can create slideshows, web galleries or output your pictures in professional-looking print layouts.
NEW IMAGE EDITING TOOLS IN v9
- Revised contrast engine - Changes have been made to the algorithms of color, saturation and contrast. And the color editor has been revised to align design with the color balance tool. Handles are made easier to use and adjust, and the tool is now scalable when undocked.
- Masks from color editor - The color editor now allows the user to make a mask from a color edit.
- New Brush pack - Tool changes include the addition of flow, airbrush, straight line brushing, and the ability to link brushes.

- Luma curves and local curves - Added to the curve tool palette, Luma curves can be used to create contrast curves without affecting saturation. Also, curves can be used locally.
- Battery status for toolbar - This new tool can be placed on the tool bar where it gives a power supply overview to the attached tethered camera, warning photographers of low power during a shoot.
- Export EIP for catalogs - Catalog users can now benefit from EIP export for easy transportation of RAW and Settings, off system. In the Export originals panel, there is now an option to Export as EIP. Sessions users can also choose to Export originals. This creates a workflow in which the original RAW and adjustments are not packed - instead a copy is made, packed as EIP.
- DNG colors - This new feature allows Capture One Pro to treat and display supported camera files that have been converted to DNG (and include the RAW file in the DNG package), as if in their original format.
NEW ASSET MANAGEMENT TOOLS
- Keywords Tool - Keywords may be added and removed from images. The standard Capture One tool tips for local reset, local copy apply, pre-sets and help are available for this tool.
- Keyword Libraries - Used to manage the list (or lists) of keywords in a catalog or a session. As the Keywords tool adds keywords to images, the document Keyword Library is populated. This forms a keyword list for any and all terms in the current document and is unique for the session or the catalog.
- Sortable Keywords - Unique to Capture One Pro 9, users are able to reorder keywords in the Keywords tool for single image selections.

Dedication
To Marjorie Baer
with love and respect
Thanks!
To Cliff Colby, for remaining remarkably calm
through the writing and editing process for
this book—especially near the end when
things started getting hairy! Are we finally
trading places? Am I the one who will be
wigging out as deadlines near and so many
pages are still unwritten?
To David Van Ness, for his usual excellent job
fine-tuning the book’s layout. And a special
thanks for laying out the Intro, Appendix A,
and Index when I was unable to get them
done on time.
To Julie Bess, for another great index. And
congratulations again on the birth of your
niece!
To Allen Denison and Keri Walker at Apple Inc.
for helping me get the material we needed to
write this book. This book would not have
been as complete without your help.
To the developers and testers at Apple, for
continuing to refine the world’s best operating
system.
To the folks at Ambrosia Software, for developing and continuing to update Snapz Pro X. I
could not have taken the 2,000+ screen shots in
this book without this great software program.
And to Mike, for the usual reasons.

Introduction
Mac OS X 10.5 (Figure 1) is the latest version
of the computer operating system that put
the phrase graphic user interface in everyone’s vocabulary. With Mac OS, you can
point, click, and drag to work with files,
applications, and utilities. Because the same
intuitive interface is utilized throughout the
system, you’ll find that a procedure that
works in one program works in virtually all
the others.
✔ Tips
■
The “X” in “Mac OS X” is pronounced
“ten.”
■
Although this book is over 700 pages long,
it doesn’t cover every single aspect of
using Mac OS X. You can find additional
material that didn’t make it into this
book on the book’s companion Web site,
www.marialanger.com/macosquickstart/.
This book was designed for page flipping.
Use the thumb tabs, index, or table of contents to find the topics for which you need
help. If you’re brand new to Mac OS, however, I recommend that you begin by reading
at least the first two chapters. In them, you’ll
find basic information about techniques
you’ll use every day with your computer.
If you’re interested in information about
new Mac OS X features, be sure to browse
through this Introduction. It’ll give you a
good idea of what you can expect to see on
your computer.

Introduction
Figure 1 The About This Mac window for a
computer with Mac OS X 10.5 installed.
This Visual QuickStart Guide will help you
learn Mac OS X 10.5 by providing step-bystep instructions, plenty of illustrations, and
a generous helping of tips. On these pages,
you’ll find everything you need to know to
get up and running quickly with Mac OS X--
and a lot more!
Introduction
New Features in
Mac OS X 10.5
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is a major revision
to Mac OS X. Here’s a look at some of the new
and revised features you can expect to find.
✔ Tip
■
This book covers many of these features.
Finder
New Features in Mac OS X 10.5
◆
Stacks (Figure 2) helps reduce desktop
clutter. When you place a folder full of
files in the Dock, clicking the folder
displays the files in a fan or grid. Click the
file to open it.
◆
The new Cover Flow view (Figure 3) offers
a new way to view a window’s contents.
Resembling the Cover Flow view in
iTunes, it displays previews (when available) or icons for items in a folder.
◆
Spotlight’s search features have been
improved to include searching across
network volumes.
◆
Quick Look (Figure 4) makes it possible
to view file contents without opening
them.
◆
Time Machine (Figure 5) creates automatic backups of your hard disk as you
work. Then, when you need to recover
an accidentally deleted file—or restore
your entire hard disk—Time Machine
lets you go back in time to retrieve the
files you need.
Figure 2 Stacks enables you to display
a folder’s contents in a fan, like this.
Figure 3 Cover Flow shows previews of documents in a
Finder window.
Figure 4 Quick Look makes it possible to view a document’s contents without opening it.

Dedication
To Marjorie Baer
with love and respect
Thanks!
To Cliff Colby, for remaining remarkably calm
through the writing and editing process for
this book—especially near the end when
things started getting hairy! Are we finally
trading places? Am I the one who will be
wigging out as deadlines near and so many
pages are still unwritten?
To David Van Ness, for his usual excellent job
fine-tuning the book’s layout. And a special
thanks for laying out the Intro, Appendix A,
and Index when I was unable to get them
done on time.
To Julie Bess, for another great index. And
congratulations again on the birth of your
niece!
To Allen Denison and Keri Walker at Apple Inc.
for helping me get the material we needed to
write this book. This book would not have
been as complete without your help.
To the developers and testers at Apple, for
continuing to refine the world’s best operating
system.
To the folks at Ambrosia Software, for developing and continuing to update Snapz Pro X. I
could not have taken the 2,000+ screen shots in
this book without this great software program.
And to Mike, for the usual reasons.

Introduction
Mac OS X 10.5 (Figure 1) is the latest version
of the computer operating system that put
the phrase graphic user interface in everyone’s vocabulary. With Mac OS, you can
point, click, and drag to work with files,
applications, and utilities. Because the same
intuitive interface is utilized throughout the
system, you’ll find that a procedure that
works in one program works in virtually all
the others.
✔ Tips
■
The “X” in “Mac OS X” is pronounced
“ten.”
■
Although this book is over 700 pages long,
it doesn’t cover every single aspect of
using Mac OS X. You can find additional
material that didn’t make it into this
book on the book’s companion Web site,
www.marialanger.com/macosquickstart/.
This book was designed for page flipping.
Use the thumb tabs, index, or table of contents to find the topics for which you need
help. If you’re brand new to Mac OS, however, I recommend that you begin by reading
at least the first two chapters. In them, you’ll
find basic information about techniques
you’ll use every day with your computer.
If you’re interested in information about
new Mac OS X features, be sure to browse
through this Introduction. It’ll give you a
good idea of what you can expect to see on
your computer.

Introduction
Figure 1 The About This Mac window for a
computer with Mac OS X 10.5 installed.
This Visual QuickStart Guide will help you
learn Mac OS X 10.5 by providing step-bystep instructions, plenty of illustrations, and
a generous helping of tips. On these pages,
you’ll find everything you need to know to
get up and running quickly with Mac OS X--
and a lot more!
Introduction
New Features in
Mac OS X 10.5
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is a major revision
to Mac OS X. Here’s a look at some of the new
and revised features you can expect to find.
✔ Tip
■
This book covers many of these features.
Finder
New Features in Mac OS X 10.5
◆
Stacks (Figure 2) helps reduce desktop
clutter. When you place a folder full of
files in the Dock, clicking the folder
displays the files in a fan or grid. Click the
file to open it.
◆
The new Cover Flow view (Figure 3) offers
a new way to view a window’s contents.
Resembling the Cover Flow view in
iTunes, it displays previews (when available) or icons for items in a folder.
◆
Spotlight’s search features have been
improved to include searching across
network volumes.
◆
Quick Look (Figure 4) makes it possible
to view file contents without opening
them.
◆
Time Machine (Figure 5) creates automatic backups of your hard disk as you
work. Then, when you need to recover
an accidentally deleted file—or restore
your entire hard disk—Time Machine
lets you go back in time to retrieve the
files you need.
Figure 2 Stacks enables you to display
a folder’s contents in a fan, like this.
Figure 3 Cover Flow shows previews of documents in a
Finder window.
Figure 4 Quick Look makes it possible to view a document’s contents without opening it.
