FlexColor workflow for the specialist commercial photographer
FlexColor offers an image processing workflow with the highest degree of control for the studio
photographer. In tethered operation, tools like live video and overlay masking help bring pro-
ductivity to advanced set composition. The newest FlexColor version allows the photographer
to manipulate colour temperature and compare image details across multiple images for pre-
cise image selection. FlexColor runs natively on both Macintosh and Windows computers and
is licensed to allow you to provide free copies for all your co-workers and production partners.
Modular design
A clean and dust-free sensor is essential and the modular design of the camera allows for easy
access to and cleaning of the sensor, saving you hours of retouching work later.

The primary goal of all camera development is of course the seamless and unobtrusive pro-
duction of superb images, regardless of situation. These products have abilities and features
that you may not think you need, yet. Each individual has their own way of working, naturally
enough, but Hasselblad equipment has tremendous scope for fine-tuning your technique .
Take your time to learn the intricacies and potential of your new equipment. Go at your own
pace and explore the possibilities when you feel ready for the next step. Results will be good
from the word go, that’s guaranteed, but when you want to make improvements or work more
efficiently perhaps, the capabilities are there for you.
The supreme Hasselblad potential is there, it’s up to you to exploit it!
