Ideas for Sequences
0 min
in addition to the three built in presets (recto verso, self timer, and process on capture) here are some ideas for workflows that sequencer, in its current form could facilitate slide film with and without case content set up two lights a reflective light that passes over the front of the slide film and a transmissive light that sits underneath and passes light through the content of the film using light control place these lights into two different groups then create a light preset where both lights are on and a light preset where only the transmissive light is on your sequence would then be, at minimum \[light preset both lights] > \[capture] > \[light preset transmissive] > \[wait for trigger] > \[capture] > \[light preset both lights] strictly speaking, only the leading or trailing loading of the \[light preset both lights] is required, but including both guards against someone having changed the lights between sequences, or in the case of an aborted sequence having the light change before the wait command gives the user a visual cue optionally, inspiration can be taken from the recto verso preset regarding the use of the clipboard to add a prefix or suffix to the filename such as " raking" ai crop on capture simply follow a capture action with an ai crop action and you can apply the selected ai crop preset as you capture, saving time on batch processing, assuming that the collection is homogenous and does not require changing ai crop modes (e g all 2 up material, not a mixture of 1 up and 2 up) raking + standard capture in order to emphasize the texture or dimensionality of an object it may be desirable to capture material with a single light at a low raking angle however, when using that technique it can be helpful to have a reference image with standard illumination against which to compare in this case a sequence such as \[light preset raking] > \[capture raking] > \[light preset standard] > \[capture standard] > \[light preset raking] can be used the appropriate lcc can be assigned to those two differing capture actions to correct for the heavy falloff of the raking light capture separately from the generally even capture of the standard capture optionally, inspiration can be taken from the recto verso preset regarding the use of the clipboard to add a prefix or suffix to the filename such as " raking" gold leaf capture like raking+standard an additional light can be added above the subject pointing directly down at it from roughly the same angle as the camera this will brighten specular areas like gold leafing in this case a sequence such as \[light preset gold leaf] > \[capture gold leaf] > \[light preset standard] > \[capture standard] > \[light preset gold leaf] can be used the appropriate lcc can be assigned to those two differing capture actions to correct for different fall off of each lighting preset optionally, inspiration can be taken from the recto verso preset regarding the use of the clipboard to add a prefix or suffix to the filename such as " gold leaf"
