Operation Manual

2 If the Sepia Tone controls are not shown in the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments
pane of the Inspector HUD, choose Sepia Tone from the Adjustments pop-up menu.
Use the Intensity slider and value
slider to adjust the strength of the
sepia tint applied to the image.
3 By default, the intensity of the sepia color is set to the maximum value of 1.0. Adjust the
intensity of the sepia color by doing one of the following:
• Drag the Intensity slider to the left to decrease the intensity of the sepia color in the
image’s midtones, or drag the slider back to the right to increase the intensity.
• Click the left or right arrow in the Intensity value slider to modify the intensity by 5
percent increments, or drag in the value slider.
The left arrow decreases the intensity, and the right arrow increases it.
• Double-click the number in the Intensity value slider, then enter a value from 0.0 to 1.0
and press Return.
The image is converted to black and white, with the sepia color tint applied to the
midtones.
You can also brush the Sepia Tone adjustment on selected parts of an image. For more
information, see Making Brushed Adjustments.
Working with the Sharpen and Edge Sharpen Controls
Aperture provides two sharpening adjustments that you can use to sharpen the detail in
your image: Sharpen and Edge Sharpen.
Which Sharpening Adjustment Should You Use?
If you’ve already applied sharpening in a previous version of Aperture using the Sharpen
adjustment controls, the Sharpen adjustment controls are still there so that your
adjustments remain intact and unchanged. However, to do further sharpening on other
images, it is recommended that you use the Edge Sharpen adjustment controls, which
generally offer more precise control over how sharpening is applied. For more
information, see Working with the Edge Sharpen Controls.
