5.2 RAW workflow: Seitz raw converter (continued)
Colour
The Colour adjustment is the first step in the raw conversion workflow. It contains
all the basic colour adjustment parameters and some basic tone mapping tools:
Tone mapping - for adjusting the image histogram:
• Exposure: applies a linear gain on the image. This tool can lead to dynamic range
clipping if used heavily
• Brightness: applies a non linear tone mapping on the image. The image will be
brighter or darker without any dynamic range clipping
• Black: crops the lower part of the image dynamic range. Can be useful if low light
levels contain no useful information
HSL*: use the "HSL" tool to selectively adjust colours. It is possible to select and
adjust each of the six proposed colours: Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta. The
adjustment can be done in three ways:
• Hue: Fades the colour toward neighboring colours in the HSL colour space
• Saturation: increases or decreases the saturation of the selected colour only.
• Luminance: increases or decreases the luminance of the selected colour only
* Hue, saturation, luminance

Basic: white balance
Select one of the white balancing options in the list. It
is recommended to use either "choose in picture" and
point on a grey area in the image, or "Automatic".
This will give a starting point for the subsequent fine
tuning of colours. The white balanced version of the
image is displayed directly in the preview.
Use the other "basic" colour management tools to
fine tune the image white balance:
• Temperature: makes the image appear warmer or
cooler
• Tint: compensates a potential greenish or magenta
colour cast
• Saturation: increases or decreases the overall colour
saturation without reducing the dynamic range of
the image
