VIGNETTE CONTROL
The Vignette Control feature is used
to correct for loss of marginal lumina-
tion, a phenomenon associated with
camera lenses that causes a drop in
brightness at the edges of a photo-
graph. Vignette Control is most effec-
tive when performed on images taken
at maximum aperture. If the picture
in the active image window is a RAW
image taken with a lens equipped to
transmit distance information (a type
G or D lens) mounted on a camera that
can record this information, Capture NX
will use the lens information recorded
with the image to automatically select
an optimal value for Vignette Control.
When this lens information is not avail-
able, the Vignette Control effect will be
based on default lens characteristics. To
determine whether a given combination
of lens and camera will record distance
information, see the table below.

To apply the Vignette Control feature to
your image, click on the
Vignette Control to display the Vignette
Control dialog window.
Drag the Intensity slider to the right to
brighten the edges of the currently active
photo, or drag the Intensity slider to the
left to darken the edges of the photo.
If the image was taken under any situa-
tion in which the Distance Information
was not recorded, please take care
when adjusting the Vignette Control
settings so as to not over apply the
Vignette Control effect.
Once you have created the desired
effect with the Vignette Control
feature, click OK to apply the Vignette
Control effect to your image.
If you would like to remove the
Vignette Control effect at any time,
simply uncheck the Apply Checkbox
next to Vignette Control.
