tone-mapping algorithms for high-contrast images. With PV2012, you can adjust Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Exposure, and Contrast in
the Basic panel. You can also apply local corrections for white balance (Temp and Tint), Highlights, Shadows, Noise, and Moiré.
Process Version 2010 Images edited in Camera Raw 6 used PV2010 by default. PV2010 offers improved sharpening and noise-reduction from
the previous process version, PV2003.
Process Version 2003 The original processing engine, used by Camera Raw versions 5.x and earlier.

Click the Update to Current Process button (the exclamation-point icon) in the lower-right corner of the image preview.
In the Camera Calibration tab, choose Process > 2012 (Current).
