About the RGB Tool Palette

You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB] and [NR] tab sheets according to your editing
requirements.
The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the adjustment functions in
the [RGB] tool palette is wider than [RAW] tool palette, the image color
may be saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too
much. Therefore we recommend for functions other than tone curve
adjustment and automatic adjustment (p.28), that you adjust images
using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
Refer to Chapter 5 for explanations on functions of the [RGB] tool
palette other than tone curve adjustment.
Using the tool palette
We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Note that the [NR] tool palette (p.48)
reduction is required after necessary adjustments have been made with
the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.
should only be used where noise
