Canon EOS 40D White Paper page 28

The Navigator window supplements the operations
performed in the main window and tool palette and
offers the following functions:
a. Enlargement display position shows the position
displayed when the sample image in the main window
is enlarged. One can also use this window to drag the
enlargement display position around. The sample
image in the main window changes in response.
b. Histogram display shows the distribution of luminance
and color components in the sample image displayed
in the main window. The histogram display can be
switched using the [Y] (luminance), [RGB], [R], [G]
and [B] buttons.
c. Warning indicator flashes if one enters or sets upper
and lower limits in these fields and there are areas
in the sample image displayed in the main window
with values that exceed those limits.
One can choose either [Y] (luminance) or [RGB] (color value) as the warning to be used.
The functions of the tool palette are as follows:
• Selecting the Picture Style used as the basis for one's
new Picture Style
• Adjusting the color tone, color saturation, contrast
and sharpness
• Making minute adjustments to a specified color (hue,
saturation and luminosity)
• Adjusting the gamma characteristics
Note that Picture Style Editor uses the DPP algorithms
for image processing. This means that the color tones
produced by tool palette adjustments tend to be the
same as those made in DPP.
One can choose any of the Picture Style settings (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral
or Faithful, but not Monochrome) as the starting point for Picture Style to be used as a
basis. One can also download and
select one of the purpose-made
Picture Style files (e.g. Emerald)
from the Canon website. One can
then adjust the color tone, color
saturation, contrast and sharpness.
A panel is provided for minute color
adjustment. The panel permits the
user to set the range of possible
adjustment.
