Saturation Drag the Saturation slider to the left or right to change the intensity of hues
in the photo.
Use a
working
color space
Select this option, then select a color space from the drop-down list to use a
specific working color space during RAW image processing.
When you select the Color tab, the cursor changes to an eye dropper if you then
hover over the image. If you look in the status bar, you will see two R G B numbers
changing as you move around the image. The two numbers indicate the R G B
values of the pixel under the cursor. The R G B values represent the source pixel
(unprocessed) and the current pixel as it appears on the screen.
Detail options
Sharpness As Shot Click to use the sharpness settings that you selected when you
took the photo. The As Shot button displays the settings you
selected. For example: As Shot (Normal) indicates that you
selected Normal sharpness settings when you took the photo.
Amount Specifies the amount of sharpening applied by adding and
removing light on each side of an edge.
Radius Specifies the number of pixels to adjust around each edge.
Higher values increase the number of sharpened pixels and tend
to bring out coarser detail, while smaller values reduce the
number of sharpened pixels and tend to bring out finer detail.
Threshold Specifies how different the pixel lightness values within an edge
must be before the pixels within the edge are sharpened. Higher
values sharpen only stronger edges but minimize the
appearance of noise. Lower values sharpen both strong and
weaker edges, but can increase the appearance of noise. It is
recommended that you set the threshold so that it enhances
edges while keeping background noise to a minimum.
Noise
Reduction
Amount Specifies the amount of noise to remove from the image. Higher
values reduce more noise, but can also reduce texture detail.
Radius Drag the slider to the left or right to match the noise removal to
the coarseness of the noise. Increase the Radius value can
remove coarser noise, but may also remove more detail from
the photo.
Color Noise
Reduction
Drag the slider to the left or right to decrease or increase the
relative amount of noise reduction applied to the color channels.
Increase the value when the noise within the image appears to
shift the color tone, and decrease the value when the noise
within the image appears to shift only the brightness.
