Hello everyone.

I have been asked to contribute to the software guys around what we would like to see from Phocus in the future.

Can you please post here with your feature requests and I will collate and pass them on.

Please put some thought into this while the Swedes and Danes are listening!!

Please give us the chance to export shots with an implemented color cast shot as DNG files. CAPTURE ONE does this trick...and their way to implement the CC shots is as well way more easy.

Luminance curves
color editor for picking specific color tone and automatic masking
keystone correction tool
for tethered shooting: a better focus indicator
simple or more complex DAM (digital asset management)

Hi Nick,

1. Better highlight recovery (like LR)
2. Better noise reduction for high ISO shots - especially low frequency (blotchy) noise
3. Keystone correction
4. More options in adjustment layers - contrast, shadow fill, highlight recovery, clarity
5. Ability to take a capture during live video without exiting LV
6. Fix the renaming bug that has been there since 2.8.x - if you rename a shot to something that exists it's name goes black - try again and it gives an error - restart required.
7. Faster tethering
8. If using an overlay, it would be nice if it was displayed over both images when in Compare View (W)
9. Halo suppression when using clarity
10. LZW compression when exporting TIFFS

Thanks,
Ben

A focus indicator whe tethered...especially for those of us doing reproduction photography

1. Powerful, image adaptive highlight and shadow recovery tools like LR.
2. More tools for adjustment layers.
3. More powerful color editor tool. See Capture One.

The ability to tether any Hasselblad back (including Ixpress) with Phocus.

Interestingly, all versions of Capture One Pro work with every Phase One digital back ever made.

I would like to see a focus bracketing function added to the Capture Sequencer Panel.  I stack focus on most of my shots and this would be very useful.  I currently use a mac "watch me do" macro but it occasionally crashes Phocus.

+1 for the comment about including tethering support for legacy backs

1: Could we please get a setting to disable the automatic fold of the adjustment parameters? When I use a small screen (on the Macbook...), the histogram disappears each time I open the exposure adjustment. (OK, I can get more space by activating less tools and then I can see them both, but...).

2: I would like a 3-ways color correction tools (as on Final Cut). That is a feature that is seriously lagging in any photo software I know. Basically, I is the same as the present color corrector, but can be set differently for shadows, midtones and highlights. Basically, your developers should have a look at color correction tools in film software, they have plenty of great ideas which have not yet been implemented in photography. Marketing-wise, that would be an instant differentiator for Hasselblad.

3: A way to quickly copy settings between images would be nice. At present, I can export the presets from one image and apply that preset to a second one. In Apple Aperture, I could "lift" the presets, select the ones I wanted to copy and "stamp" images with it. That was very convenient.

4: Some way to put the images of different projects in different directories. Phocus lacks a database function, but I understand that Hasselblad does not want to rewrite Lightroom. At present, one is supposed to give a unique project name to imported pictures. One can use directories, but the ergonomics are not very good. It should be relatively easy to simply allow one to create new directories from Phocus and let the user put the imports from a given project in them.

5: Some way to correct for keystone would be a godsend for architecture photographers. C1 has a very good tool.

Any improvement on moiré-correction is always welcome ...

Can't see the histogram slider triangle for the black-point. Just have to "scrape" around for it with the Wacom pen. Utterly useless.

In the Layout section:

I create a layout to give me more or less postcard size previews, 8 images with no tools or explorer etc on the screen. Name the layout and then save it.
Upon re-entering Phocus, I load my custom layout to find dozens of postage stamp-sized previews (no tools or explorer etc).

Can Phocus be fixed to remember the size of the previews that were selected with the +/-  key (top right), which was then saved?

Yes! Put me down for this one too! I much prefer LR's implementation where you just quickly scroll down to tools that are off the bottom of the screen.
