System information

Adjust tone manually
You can adjust tone characteristics individually. For the Highlights and Shadows settings, you can enter a value
from 0 to 100 and for all other settings, you can enter a value from -100 to 100.
•
Set any of the following in the Tone section of the Adjustments pane:
• Auto (Levels) - Analyzes the image and automatically sets the tone levels to achieve the best appearance. This
adjustment corrects for underexposure and overexposure.
If the image is already optimized, or nearly optimized, you may not notice a difference. After you enable Auto,
you can still fine-tune Highlight and Shadows settings, if desired.
• Brightness - Increases or decreases the brightness of an image.
• Contrast - Increases or decreases the contrast of an image.
• Definition - Increases or decreases the amount of definition (detail) in an image without affecting the amount
of contrast in the image.
• Auto (Highlights & Shadows) - Calculates optimal highlight and shadows level and automatically applies
them to the image, updating the Highlights and Shadows settings.
If the image is already optimized, or nearly optimized, you may not notice a difference. After you enable Auto,
you can still fine-tune Highlights and Shadows settings, if desired.
• Highlights - Enhances the details in highlighted portions of an image to make them more visible.
• Shadows - Enhances the details in areas of shadow to make them more visible.
Adjust color
If you have optimized the tone reproduction, typically the only remaining color problem is a color cast—an
imbalance in the colors of the image. Color settings affect the overall color balance and saturation.
Adjust color automatically
You can apply the Automatic preset to adjust color automatically.
•
Click Automatic in the Presets menu.
Adjust color manually
You can adjust color manually without using a preset.
•
Set any of the following in the Color section of the Adjustments pane:
• Temperature - Sets the blue-yellow color balance (the b channel in Lab color space).
• Tint - Sets the red-green color balance (the a channel in Lab color space).
• Saturation - Increases or decreases the saturation of all colors in an image.
• Fleshtone Saturation - Increases or decreases the saturation of only fleshtones in an image, rather than the
saturation of the entire image.
