The following settings for exposure, color, and sharpness are available.
Gamma: Three options are available for setting the gamma of the debayered output:
Rec. 709
Log 1
Log 2
Lift: Adjusts the black point of the media, raising it or lowering it while scaling all
midtone values between it and the white point. Regardless of how you adjust this
control, all image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments.
The range is –100 to +100.
Gain: Adjusts the white point of the media, raising or lowing it while scaling all midtone
values between it and the black point. Regardless of how you adjust this control, all
image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments. 0 is unity.
The range is –100 to +100.
Contrast: Raising contrast reduces shadows and raises highlights, while leaving
midtones at 50 percent unaffected. Regardless of how you adjust this control, all
image data is preserved and can be retrieved in subsequent adjustments. 0 is unity.
Therange is –100 to +100.
Sharpness: A debayer-specific sharpness filter applied to provide the appearance of
enhanced image detail. 20 is unity. The range is 0 to 100.
Highlights: Makes it easy to selectively retrieve blown-out highlight detail in
high-dynamic-range media by lowering this parameter and achieves a smooth blend
between the retrieved highlights and the unadjusted midtones for a naturalistic result.
0is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100 (maximum).
Shadows: Lets you selectively lighten or darken shadow detail. Raising this value
retrieves shadow detail recorded below 0 percent, while leaving the midtones alone.
0is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100 (very high).
Color Boost: Lets you naturalistically raise the saturation of regions of low saturation,
sometimes referred to as a vibrance operation. Can be used also to lower the
saturation of regions of low saturation. 0 is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through
+100 (very high).
Saturation: Adjusts the color intensity of the image. 0 is unity. The range is –100
(minimum) through +100 (very high).
Midtone Detail: When this parameter is raised, the contrast of regions of the image with
high edge detail is raised to increase the perception of image sharpness, sometimes
referred to as definition. When this parameter is lowered to a negative value, regions
of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high detail are left
alone. 0 is unity. The range is –100 (minimum) through +100 (very high).
