New design looks good.
Looks like will feature adjustment layers and local adjustments, including the moire filter.
This is cool. When will it be released?
I'll see what I can find out.
I just started using adjustment layers with CaptureOne and love this feature. Is this going to work the same way by drawing masks for the correction area?
Am I to assume that this feature will work with all my fff legacy files?
I'm glad to hear Phocus is going in the same direction and for free.
This is from the PDF that went out to dealers:
PHOCUS 3.0
The simplest way of processing your Hasselblad RAW files, ensuring the best corrections and extraction of the finest detail possible.
To complement the release of the H6D camera system, our raw conversion software has been enhanced with additional tools to allow more precise application of corrections. Three adjustment tools have been added to allow the user to apply linear or radial gradient corrections or freehand brush corrections to their images via adjustment layers. These will allow the application
of exposure, colour and moiré corrections in a more defined and controlled way. The moiré tool also has the ability to scan the
image being worked on to locate probable interference patterns contained within it. These will be highlighted and the user then has the option to apply a global correction or if required a local adjustment via the brush tool.
The software has also been updated to support the H6D USB 3.0 Type-C camera connectivity as well as the built in support for the previous Firewire based camera systems. To support the addition of video, movie playback is available and conversion of the Hasselblad Raw video format to Apple ProRes is supported. Finally the user interface has been updated to reflect the new tools.
Thanks for the info Nick

Phocus 3 is in final Candidate so expect a release soon!
Local adjustments are awesome, just saying.
Can't wait to try.
Do they need beta testers?
I did that for the first version on the PC.
Now I'm mac though.
I asked Hasselblad on facebook, right after the H6D launch and they replied April 14th for Phocus 3.
But since it's not out for download, I asked them once again today — no reply :(
@ Raffa I think it will only be a few days away.
@fraherim They are about to go final so it's a bit late for beta testers...
Monday for Phocus 3 :)
Woo hoo! So Tuesday our time?
Sweet :)
Yep I reckon Ben!
nothing yet? :(
Not quite! Couple of minor bugs found in the release candidates, we are close though!
Cool. I have a couple of examples to try the adjustment layers once it releases.
Woo hoo! It's out.
Adjustment layers are very nice. I do get a crash every time I have two adjustment layers then try to delete one.
Also, will there eventually be more adjustments? i.e. Shadow fill, contrast, clarity, recovery etc?
Ben
It's in no way nice, because it is simply not running under Win 10
Phocus 3.0 starts up, shows the thumbnail of FFF or 3fr files, but if you click on the thumbnail it crashes with "fatal error".
Does anybody has experienced the same ?
Stephan
Hi Stephan,
on a Win 7 the new Phocus 3.0 is running, but the adjustment layers are very slow.
The same file works much faster on Lightromm CC.
Detlef
I can't log in to my Hasselblad account. What Mac OS needs to be running to use Phocus 3?
http://static.hasselblad.com/2016/04/Phocus-3.0-Mac-read-me.pdf
It says Mac OSX 10.10 or later and only 64 bit MAC's.
Hi Nick,
what is the best way to report Errors i see with the new phocus software.
Detlef
I can't believe they didn't get it right – if you use the "dark mode" on OS X, the interface is unreadable in some parts!
Nick, can you push this bug through to the dev team?
Manual aperture control during live view not working, H5D. Auto works OK.

Actually I've discovered if you zero out the adjustments before you remove a layer then it prevents the crash.
Please post errors/bugs here, I ill make sure the software guys are watching this thread.
thanks Nick.
just found a new bug: if I create a new adjustment layer and then play with the Saturation control, nothing happens.
Dowloaded Phocus 3 and played around with it . I Love the new look , but found it slightly sluggish when panning or changing tools. It also constantly crashed My MacPro Mid 2012 6core when using the adjustment layers ( creating one and trying to delete one especially )

Saturation seems to work for me. Did you paint anywhere with any of the controls first, such as the brush, gradient or radial gradient?
Ben
Strange, first day it worked fine, now it's slow, crashes all the time and each time I reopen it the layout is changed to "standard mode". OSX 10.11.4 MacPro late 2013.
Windows 7
Bugs found (as of today's tethered test on copy bench)
Tethered Camera connection - intermittent - not always connecting or not always giving access to Aperture, Shutter speed, etc - 4 out of 6 times required restarting program
Mirror Up - worked for the 1st few times then completely stopped working (functions normally when checked using 2.8.4)
No 'X' option for cancelling midway through Multishots
Live View
Cannot zoom out after being at 100%
Grid lines don't carry on through when viewing a t 100%
Focusing doughnut intermittently downsizes to 50% size 70% time so as to making focusing practically impossible
Preferences
Flash delay not working (whether it be the default 3 seconds or other)
1 other point -
Sharpening option still working when turned off and making Black/white Halos around strong edges (visible on Multishots and 200 so am guessing will be the case on the 100s); can it be be made so the 'Turned Off' be really 'Turned Off' please ? - like I guess with Flexcolor please, thanks.
Alex
Hi Nick,
the bug i detect on my System (Win 7)
At the new adjustment tool when using the brush function, it is not possible to Change the brush size with the mouse wheel.

yes I also can see the pink mask, but Saturation has no effect :(
oh man, I can't believe an old bug is still here on Mac:
if you have 2 monitors, then you hide (cmd-h) Phocus. when you call it up again, only one window appears on one monitor. you are forced to recall you saved double-monitor layout in order to restore it.
this is SO frustrating..
Just so you know, the right people from Hasselblad are watching this thread and noting what is being said.
There is also a file naming bug that has been there since 2.9.2
If you try to rename a file with a name that already exits, the name goes black, with no error. If you try to rename it again the thumbnail sometimes goes black and there is a 'rename error:1'
Ben
A bit on the side (& out of the limelight of main features) - but I thought I'd ask:
A (Non Hassy), UK dealer recently passed on that he'd been informed that the new updated Phocus would support Rodenstock electronic shutters. AFAIK Phocus only supported Schneider and Rollei electronic shutters (for Multishot etc).
Is this the case please? Thanks,
Alex
a proper support for a drawing tablet like Intuos would be very welcome, especially now with brushing on the layers. Brushing is working, however no touch gestures
I'm exporting a batch, but I can't see the progress indicator icon or a counter that lets me know how many photos are yet to be exported.

1. far bottom left it is shown as export:x files
2. on the mac apps symbols the H symbol shows a little number in red circle

isn't that enough?
thanks Buddy.
I was asking because in Phocus 2 I was actually able to see them all.
but now only the export tab shows the progress.
the icon on the dock is not showing the number, and there's no indicator in the corner or anywhere else as well.

are you using one or two monitors?
just one (Eizo 27 inch)
I'm using 2, could it be the problem?
new bug info for Phocus 3.0 on Mac:
I have a brand new late 2015 MacBook Pro /Retina with 16 GB under El Capitan. Phocus itself is running quite stable (had only one crash with layers so far).
BUT: camera control for tethered shooting has severe bugs:
1) you cannot use the mirror up button,
2) for my H4D-60 I cannot choose ISO 800 (it only offers values between 50 and 400),
3) exposure corrections are not possible.
Mirror up at least works if you connect the MacBook with Phocus Mobile. You then can click on the Mirror up button on the iPhone and it works. But no reaction on the Macbook !!
You can set 800 ISO and exposure corrections on the camera and the pictures will be shot under the desired conditions and transferred to the MacBook, but as said before you cannot control under Phocus.
Hope these things will be noticed by the Hasselblad people....
Best, Stephan

I have to come back to my previous question concerning Win 10. Hasselblad people told me to first install the .NET framework 4.6 before installing Phocus. But this is all okay, I even performed a clean install of the newest graphic drivers of my machine, but anyhow Phocus 3.0 is not running under Windows 10 Pro (64-bit). Whereas version 2.9.2 was running without problems.
Anybody there with Windows 10 & Phocus 3.0 ????
Just another bug info.
When I shoot with my H4D 60 in capture sequence the sequences doesn't work correctly. It doesn't obey the orders from the computer, just do what it wants. On the H3D no problem.
Live view doesn't work on both cameras.
Many times when I do a close up using a layer, normally it crashes.
Hi Nick - long time no speak...
For Hasselblad's info:
Images shot under previous versions of Phocus show very dark on screen in v3 (blacks are very heavy and mid to dark gradients are slightly posterized). Closing v3 and opening 2.9.2 the images look dark there too now? Is it changing the monitor prefs, (though other apps are fine)? On export the image renders correctly, i.e.. I've matched previous output from 2.9.2. Impossible to use like this.
Using Mac Pro (Late 2013) 10.11.4 64GB, AMD FirePro D700 6144MB - 2, screen Eizo setup. Both screens show the same density issues.
Cheers

Strange, I use Mac Pro Late 2013 too and I haven't got the problem (dark images), but Phocus 3.0 crashes very often.
Hi Jason
Good to hear from you. I think there is an issue with the previews, not the files themselves. Thanks for the heads up I'll make sure Hasselblad see it.
I have a mac mini processor 2.3 GHz intel core i5 with El Capitan 10.11.4 with 16G bytes of ram, a graphics card HD 3000 512MB . I installed phocus 3 , and was so slow that it almost can not work with him . I've tried with phocus 2 , and remains very slow. Anyone know how can it working normally. for more than five years to use the phocus on several machines, and had never happened this.
Modify message
Anyone have this problem? I have two Mac mini, equal, and the two have the same problem . every time I make a function, appears runs the operating system, and it takes forever to make the selected function. More strange is that to have a imac with el capitan , where phocus 3 runs normally. Someone can help me?
Modify message
Hi Slides,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with Phocus 3 on your Mac Mini.
I think the main issue you will be having is that Phocus really relies on the Graphics Card to do its heavy lifting and the more recent versions absolutely chew up all the computer's resources - even with a Nvidia Quadro 2GB Graphics card, my laptop isn't able to do much else when files are being modified. On the 4GB Nvidia Card on my desktop; it used to fly along whereas now it does take a bit more time - so a 512MB HD3000 is going get quite hammered :'(
A
Having now tried Phocus on two machines (a Macbook and an iMac), I would say that it is not fast to render full resolution files, whatever the graphic card... Maybe there is still some debug code active?
Something else: 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...).
Has anyone else had trouble with tethering? I have a CF-39 on an old H1 and although I can tether and shoot to Phocus (3.0.1) I can't control the shutter speeds (aside from B and T) or the aperture from the computer. The dropdown menus are blank.
Edit: It also only goes to iso 400, rather than 800, as I recall on earlier versions of Phocus.

any suggestion?

In the previous version (2.9.2) of phocus the steps for the "Crop & Orientation -> Straighten" tool are by 1 on windows, while on Mac they are by 0.1
Since i can't test this bug on the new version because it crashes (see my previous post above), could someone tell me if on windows the version 3.0.2 has the same bug?
(just to know if it is worth enough to keep trying to make the new version run on my windows or not)

If you use the straighten slider the step size is 1, but if you use up/down-keys in the number field next to the slider or enter a value, the step size is 0.1
3.02 Win.
there seem to be a lot issue with phocus 3.0.2 with h4d camera. hope this get solve soon. it frustrating to use a software that is so buggy
Phocus 3.02 - Windows 7
H3DII & H4D
Tethered Desktop test:
Mirror up - worked intermittently then completely stopped (even after restarting) - tested again on 2.8.4 & no issues (weirdly though mirror control is still possible through the app)
Live View - Orange focusing doughnut - instead of intermittently is now working only at half 'assed' size so not possible to use.
Exporting:
OK with Multishot (H3DII & H4D), 6 shot crashed x1 after export (unusual), exporting took about 1.5x longer than 2.8.4

Just following on from your comment Simon...I too am having problems with 4-shot capture with 3.0.2. Exactly same symptom...upon firing of the 2nd exposure of the 4-shot process the camera just goes off continuously firing at a rate of approx 1 exposure per second until I crash the process by removing the tether cable and removing the camera battery. I am forced to go back to v2.9.2 for all 4-shot captures.
Did you find a solution?
Certainly v3.0.2 did not solve the problem for me.
Another curious thing is that single shot captures come through to the computer twice as fast if I expose by the camera button rather than by the Phocus capture button ???

Hi Grant, no i didn't, since then I have upgraded the os to El Capitan and the problems were the same, the computer running the camera has Phocus down graded to v3.00 with which the 4 shot works ok. there are other issues like the mirror up button not all ways working. and the fire wire dropping out and " camera errors' and kernal panics which I have not had for a long time.
I very rarely fire the camera from the body so I haven't noticed the difference in speed, and if i do i am usually walking back to the computer to check the results, so would not notice the difference.
I have spoken/ emailed Hasselblad about the issues, but they haven't come back with a reply, even after chasing them up they haven't responded. It feels like they are trying to ignore you because they don't have a answer and hope you will go away. so I assume we will have to wait for the next update and hope it solves the problems
I also asked, and have asked before, if they will update the camera firmware so the 4 shot can be used on a view camera with the newer sinar/ rodenstock shutters (I had a horseman shutter but it died) and again i have never got an answer.
3.0.3 is out - mentions .3FV (RAW video) -> CinemaDNG export. This must mean a firmware update for the H6 cameras that allows RAW video is imminent. Exciting!

Interesting - for the last two or three days all I can see in the Phocus download area on Hasselblad.com is the Manual...
Tethering is noticeably faster with the H6 with 3.0.3
Is anyone here running Phocus 3.0.3 on Yosemite OS. I noticed no complaints from the Yosemite Camp?
Hi all esp Simon Bran who is also having this issue. This is in regards to the bug where tethered multi-shot H3D cameras go into continuous firing resulting in a failed capture with Phocus 3.0.1 to 3.0.4.
Hasselblad are aware of the bug and will address it in an upcoming version release.
In the meantime the workaround is to set the flash delay to 4sec or less. This seems to solve the issue for me at least, however, may be a bit of a problem if your flash units don't recycle in that time.
Lets hope for a fix soon.
Cheers
Grant
Hi Grant, thanks for the information, shame i didn't hear it from hasselblad, I had sussed out that it would work with a shorter delay, as you say 4 seconds or less, but my packs are a bit slower than yours (elinchrom 404 and 202's) and if i put them all on fast charge, all at the same time, they trip the mains fuse, so I still hope for a fix, and hope that the fix includes all the cameras with that problem ( i'm using a 39ms not a H3D)
all the best Simon
Simon you could always downgrade to Phocus 2.9x while you wait for a fix?
Hi Nick, I only need to downgrade to 3.00, the problems started in 3.01 to 3.04, which makes it more frustrating, so what did they do ? it was working :-)
So when i use the camera i have to use 3.00, every thing else i can use 3.04, lucky it's not a problem running different versions on the same machine.
Hi Simon
I hear your pain! I do have some interaction with the software guys behind the scenes and I promise the feel your frustration. There are so many combinations of software firmware and hardware that often someone will report an issue and the team will be unable to replicate it.
I know that's not a solution but just wanted you to know that the guys writing this stuff work really hard to fix these bugs.
Nick-T
Hi Simon,
Elinchrom packs are effected by the voltage setting if I recall, the 220v allows you 3 settings of Rapid, Normal, and Slow. While 240v only set at Rapid.
Hi Nick, Hassilistic, yes the packs do have fast medium and slow recharge, but as I said if all the packs are being used on fast charge they trip the main fuse, so medium charge and 10 secs works well, allows for the packs to charge and stabilise enough for a 4 shot and even on fast charge i would allow at least 6-7 seconds for a 4 shot.
Nick I am sure the software guys are putting their all in to sorting out the bugs, I suppose whats annoying is the lack of response from hasselblad/service, I have not had any replies to any of the emails i have sent about this issue, (I had phoned first and was asked to email the information) If they had been open about the problem I would have not wasted time trying to eliminate other possibility's like the camera or the os, I would rather be told about issues and be able to work around the problems.
I agree Simon. I do think they could communicate these things better.
Simon, service centre issues aside... Have you established that Phocus is the culprit behind this, or is it perhaps the Flash trigger or heads... For instance, try shooting Tethered with LR instead via the plugin, and switch to Fast Charge and see if they trip the main fuse.
How is the flash triggered? Wireless or via cables? When you're tethered focus asks you if you wish to use power from the camera or PC/laptop? or are you connected to mains during shoot?
We can wait for the service centre or we can help you investigate the matter, choice is yours.
Cheers,
Hi Hassillistic,
i think there are some 'crossed wires' here. the bug has been confirmed as such earlier in this thread by Grant, it affects 3.01 and above

So hasselblad are aware of the issue as a problem/bug with phocus, some people are lucky and can use 4 shot at 4 seconds or less, but my packs do not charge quick enough, even on fast charge they need 6 to7 seconds, so even if the studio electric supply to the packs could take the load, it still is not fast enough, this is a separate issue to the bug in phocus and is not linked to software or camera issues.
the Elinchrom packs i use are rated at 2000 joules 4000 joules, they are not the monoblocs which have smaller outputs, hence the longer recharge times
i hope that makes sense?
I hear you simon 8)
Just know that for every bug there is a work around.
In any case we are always happy to oblige.
Cheers
Hi Hassilistic, thank you, much appreciated,
unfortunately I think I know the work around for this bug, firstly buy lots of shiny new and expensive flash equipment and secondly rewire the studio electrics to industrial standards.....ohhh i wish :-)
Phocus 3.0.4 Windows build
Been shooting through this & .03 for the last week or so and haven't had any crashes or such.
Tethered capture:
Unfortunately Flash delay still not working - this really needs addressing (even Flexcolor had this sorted)
Mirror up button, is continuing to be sporadic in its availability - have to keep accessing it via the Phone App or Vers 2.8..
Focusing buttons - not as responsive compared to vers 2 - job made all the more harder when Focus Stacking
The elusive focusing doughnut in Live View seems to have gone back to staying at half size (and my workaround doesn't work).
Processing
I've noticed some interesting slight colour casts starting to present themselves since versions 3 and not seeming to abate - yesterday I had - Radial Cyans - Centre Top - Reds at sides - only 3-4 RGB values, but they are apparent. I'm starting to do scene calibrations more of the time.
Scene Calibration - Although the Quantile Slider is welcome, Colour Cast correction isn't as strong as used to be.
Sharpening - still active when turned off - Focused edges show v slight & slight halos in Single Shot 40 & 50MP, more evident in MultiShot and a real pity in 6 shot: basically it damages the images - Please can turned off mean turned off.
Adjustment layers seem to work quite well - Temperature & Tint are really useful and much much easier than doing in PS, (although seem to be mostly using it to correct the colour casts previous mentioned); They seem to disappear off though and one is forced to build presets for each image so that corrections don't get lost for good. Any chance they could be intergrated in the Modify tool so as to be easier to apply to large groups of images?
Can we have the choice with the Neutralisation tool to correct from off of the top of the layers instead of /as well as off of the the base layer? IOW: Neutralise a Pre-output RGB instead of Input RGB - very useful when neutralising a mixed lighting scene.
A choice of the diameter size of the neutralisation tool's referencing area would be welcome (this is an old request though).
Colour Calibration - it says we can add our own reference data which is great, however is there any chance that the calibration software can be made to read XYZ & Spectral instead of just Lab data?
