❏ White Point Slider
Move the white point slider to the left to set all luminosity values from the point you have selected and
to the right to complete white. This will redistribute all of the values to stretch the luminosity range to
match the entire possible range of values. It is recommended that you move the white point slider all
the way to the left to match up with the right-most information from the displayed histogram. This
adjusts the current image so that the lightest values in the image match the lightest value that can be
displayed in a digital file.
Exposure Compensation
The Exposure Compensation slider provides control over the tonality of the image. Move this slider to
the left to darken the entire image or move it to the right to lighten the entire image.
Contrast
The Contrast slider provides control over the contrast of the image. Move this slider to the left to reduce
the contrast of the entire image or move it to the right to increase the contrast of the entire image.
Highlight Protection
The Highlight Protection slider recovers detail in highlights. While this slider works for both NEF RAW as
well as JPEG and TIFF files, it is much more successful in NEF RAW files. This is because additional highlight
information is stored within an NEF RAW file that the Highlight Protection slider can use when
recovering highlight details. Move this slider to the right to reveal additional detail in highlight areas.
Shadow Protection
The Shadow Protection slider recovers details in shadows. Move this slider to the right to reveal
additional detail in shadow areas.
Saturation
The Saturation slider provides you with control over the saturation of the entire image. Move this slider to
the left to decrease saturation or move this slider to the right to increase saturation throughout the image.
