the preview size. If you embed JPEG previews, other applications can view the contents of the DNG file without

Saves copies of the camera raw files in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. To specify the
JPEG
amount of compression, enter a value from 0 to 12 or choose from the menu. Entering a higher value, or choosing
High or Maximum, applies less compression and increases file size and image quality. JPEG format is commonly

other online services.
Saves copies of the camera raw files as TIFF (Tagged-Image File Format) files. Specify whether to apply no
TIFF
compression, or LZW or ZIP file compression. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format supported by virtually all
paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications. TIFF provides greater compression and compatibility with other
applications than does PSD format.
Saves copies of the camera raw files in the PSD file format. You can specify whether to preserve cropped

pixel data in the PSD file.

Making color and tonal adjustments in Camera Raw

Using histogram and RGB levels in Camera Raw
A histogram is a representation of the number of pixels at each luminance value in an image. A histogram that has
nonzero values for each luminance value indicates an image that takes advantage of the full tonal scale. A histogram
that doesn't use the full tonal range corresponds to a dull image that lacks contrast. A histogram with a spike at the
left side indicates shadow clipping; a histogram with a spike on the right side indicates highlight clipping.
Select Shadows or Highlights to see, in the preview image, which pixels are being clipped. For more information, see
"Preview highlight and shadow clipping in Camera Raw" on page 94.
Stores the image data in an interpolated (demosaiced) format. The resulting interpolated
Stores all of the original camera raw image data in the DNG file.
