# Image Processing using PhaseOne IXCapture

PhaseOne's IXCapture software can be used to create 4-band CIR imagery. To begin, open IXCapture, select **Processes** in the right panel, then specify a **Save To Folder** location. Additionally, specify the **System** as **CIR**, **Camera** as **Single Head**, and **Output File Type** as **TIFF** or **JPG**:

{% hint style="info" %}
4-band RS-100F systems utilize two RS-100F cameras (one for NIR, one for RGB). Regardless, select Single Head camera type in IXCapture.
{% endhint %}

Next, input the calibration files for both cameras by pointing IXCapture to the **AUS.txt** calibration files:

Select **Output Options**. In this case, we will create **4 band CIR** images (Red, Green, Blue, NIR). Then click **Select Dirs**:

Point IXCapture to the folders containing RGB and NIR images. Once IXCapture reads the imagery in, Select **Add Files**:

{% hint style="info" %}
IXCapture will ignore files in the directory which are not images (IIQ files), so it's okay if your image directory contains metadata files.
{% endhint %}

Once imagery is added, click **Start Process** in the bottom right corner of IXCapture.&#x20;
