(Available for all images)
When you open an NEF file that
was generated with a camera, both
the Camera Adjustments and RAW
Adjustments options are available to
you. Within these two options, you are
able to adjust the settings that were set
within your camera, as well as modify
enhancements that are available only
for RAW files.
Each enhancement within the Base
Adjustments contains a Show/Hide
Triangle and an Apply Checkbox.
Show/Hide Triangle
The Show/Hide Triangle shows and
hides the contents of that specific
enhancement's dialog window. Click
on the
to toggle between these two
states.
Apply Checkbox
The Apply Checkbox enables you to
turn on and off a specific enhancement.
This checkbox is automatically checked
once any adjustments are made to
the enhancement. To turn a specific
enhancement off, simply uncheck the
Apply Checkbox.
Camera Adjustments
The contents of the Camera Adjustments
section of the Base Adjustments step can
be applied only to a RAW NEF image file.
The Camera Adjustments section will be
presented automatically if the image is
a RAW NEF image. Tools that apply only
to RAW images do not appear in the
menus. Tools specific to RAW images are
available in the Base Adjustments Step.
Please note: Any feature applied
within the Camera Adjustments is
applied to the entire image and cannot
be adjusted using any of the Selective
Tools.
COLOR MODE
RAW ONLY
The Color Mode feature enables you
to choose between the same Color
Modes as those that you can set in your
camera. By allowing you fine control
over chroma, brightness, and color
gamut, the Color Mode feature creates
a subtle look for your image, compara-
ble to the distinct differences apparent
in the variety of film stock available to
photographers.
To change the Color Mode, click on the
button for Color Mode and choose
one of the options from the pull-down
Menu. The default value will be the
value that you originally set in your
camera. After changing the parameter
for this feature, an * will be displayed
next to the value originally set within
your camera.
Click OK to accept and apply the new
Color Mode, or click Cancel to keep the
original Color Mode set in your camera.
To revert to the original setting at
any point, simply uncheck the Apply
Checkbox next to Color Mode.
