4. Drag the Black Point slider right to set the darkest parts of the image to
black (by shifting the histogram's left-most edge, making all "clipped" pixels
in the shadow region turn black).
5. For recovery of blown highlights, from the Mode drop-down menu choose
Recovery, and if needed, increase the Strength slider until you get ideal
results. The Clip option, as default, means that highlights remain blown (no
recovery is attempted). The Neutral option also recovers highlights if
you're experiencing color casting.
6. For Noise reduction set a Strength. Noise may be evident on images
captured in low light or with a high ISO camera setting. The greater the
value, the more smoothing occurs to remove speckling. Too much noise
reduction may produce an unwanted blurring effect.
7. Remove unwanted Chromatic Aberration (color fringing on object edges
on high-contrast photos) by adjusting Red/Cyan or Blue/Yellow sliders.
Each slider adjusts one color channel relative to the other channel.
8. To reduce the color information down to "8 Bits/Channel", select from the
Bit Depth option. By default, optimum raw color information is preserved
(i.e., 16 Bits/Channel). (See Color modes for more details).
9. From the Color Space drop-down menu, assign a color space to your image
which matches your intended color workspace. For professional work,
AdobeRGB, ProPhoto, or WideGamut offer larger color spaces (i.e more
colors) than the standard RGB (sRGB) space (this is acceptable for most
users), but you'll need to enable color management and pick the same color
space as your chosen workspace. matching
10. Click OK (or Reset to discard applied adjustments). The raw image
becomes your PhotoPlus document.
