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 through +100.
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 through +100.
Color Boost: A non-uniform saturation operation that affects regions of low saturation
more than regions of high saturation. This is sometimes referred to as a vibrance
operation. 0 is unity, showing the original color values. Raising color boost from
0-100 increases color intensity, but low-saturation parts of the image are raised more
aggressively. Lowering Color Boost from 0 to -100 decreases color intensity, but
low-saturation parts of the image are lowered more aggressively. 0 is unity, showing
unaltered saturation. The range is –100 through +100.
Saturation: A uniform saturation operation that raises (above 50) or lowers (below 50)
the color intensity of every color value within the image. 50 is unity, showing unaltered
saturation. The range is -100 (completely desaturated) through +100 (saturation is
doubled).
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 through +100.
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 lowering 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.
Resetting Camera Raw Settings
If you’ve made changes to the parameters of the Camera Raw palette and you decide you need
to reset them, there are two options, found in the Options menu.
Reset: Resets all parameters in the Camera Raw palette to their default settings.
Revert: Similar to the “Original Memory” command, Revert changes all camera raw
parameters back to the state they were at when you first selected the current clip.
