Opening steps

Choose your environment or purpose to see its steps.

Compatible Phocus or another supported processor

Preserve the original and inspect a working copy in a compatible application.

Check camera model and Phocus version.
Import a copy through the supported workflow.
Inspect correction, color and zoomed image detail.

Inspect the received file and its requirements

Establish dependencies and settings before proceeding.

Compare current Phocus and manual versions.
Retain 3FR and processing/sidecar information.
Clarify RAW versus processed delivery.

Menu labels and support vary by app, OS and version. Preserve the original before making changes.

Troubleshooting by symptom

FFF requested: verify your version’s workflow.
Colors differ: compare processing engines/profiles.
Edits missing: inspect adjustment storage/compatibility.
Preview only: check camera RAW support.

3FR → TIFF / JPEG

Export from compatible software with the required profile/resolution.
Reopen the output and check it against the preservation points in this guide before handoff.

Moving RAW into another processor does not guarantee identical Phocus appearance/adjustments.

Do not generalize older workflows

Version changes affect 3FR workflows; inspect both saved outputs and adjustment storage.

Worked example: checks before handoff

Questions and answers

Identical to FFF?

They are related but have different workflow roles.

Same behavior in every Phocus version?

Check version and camera.

Is JPEG sufficient?

It is for viewing, not a RAW original.
