Filter-based:
• Noise Reduction
Use Luma and Chroma adjustments to reduce noise in photos taken in
low light or from cameras with high ISO settings.
• White Balance
"Cool down" or "warm up" your photo by adjusting lighting either by
selecting presets or customizing temperature/tint combinations.
• Lighting
Simple adjustments to a photo's exposure, brightness, contrast,
shadows, and highlights.
• Curves
Correct the tonal range of a photo, i.e. the shadow, midtone, and
highlight regions—and control individual color components.
• HSL
Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness of your image
independently.
• Black and White Film
Intelligently apply grayscale by varying the gray tones of red, green or
blue colors in your original image. Also apply color tints.
• Chromatic Aberration
Reduces red/cyan or blue/yellow fringing on object edges.
• Lens Distortion
Fixes barrelling and pincushion distortion encountered when
photographing straight-edged objects at close range.
• Lens Vignette
Removes darkening in photo corners.
• Unsharp Mask
Makes your image sharper at image edges—great for improving image
quality after other adjustments have been made.
Some adjustments can also be applied independently from the
Effects menu.
