System information

• Lock (Saturation) - When selected, increasing or decreasing a Saturation setting increases or decreases
other Saturation settings the same amount. For example, if Saturation is 10, Fleshtone Saturation is 20,
and the lock is on, then increasing Saturation to 15 increases Fleshtone Saturation to 25 at the same time.
• Auto (Color Balance) - Automatically corrects the color balance (temperature and tint) of the image to
achieve the best appearance.
If the image is already optimized, or nearly optimized, you may not notice a difference. After you enable Auto,
you can still fine-tune Color Balance settings, if desired.
Adjust sharpness
You can improve a blurry image by increasing sharpness or soften an image by decreasing sharpness. Softening is
sometimes desired for special effects and in portraits.
Adjust sharpness automatically
You can apply the Automatic preset to adjust sharpness automatically.
•
Click Automatic in the Presets menu.
Adjust sharpness manually
You can adjust sharpness manually without using a preset.
•
Set any of the following in the Sharpness section of the Adjustments pane:
• Sharpness - Affects the non-fleshtone colors in an image.
• Fleshtone Sharpness - Affects fleshtones in an image.
Note: Setting Sharpness and Fleshtone Sharpness to the same value can have undesirable results. This is
because the level of sharpness that produces clear rendering of objects can cause people in an image to appear
to have pitted or textured skin. In most cases, setting Sharpness higher than Fleshtone Sharpness yields
the best results.
• Lock (Sharpness) - Increasing or decreasing a Sharpness setting increases or decreases the other
Sharpness setting by the same amount. For example, if Sharpness is 15, Fleshtone Sharpness is 0, and
the lock is on, then increasing Sharpness to 30 increases Fleshtone Sharpness to 15 at the same time.
