You can shrink or enlarge the area displayed in the Before window by altering the box with the
Zoom buttons. To review a different area of the Preview window, click on that area and the red
box will outline it. Or click and hold on the box and drag it to the new area.
After Window
The After window shows how a specified area of your image looks after Digital SHO processes
it. It presents the area of your image enclosed in the red box in the Preview window. The
Before window shows the same area before Digital SHO processes it.
You can shrink or enlarge the area displayed in the After window by altering the box with the
Zoom buttons. To review a different area of the Preview window, click on that area and the red

Effect Controls
The Effect Controls regulate amount of details revealed and the vividness of the colors in the
processed image. To change from the default setting, adjust the effect controls by clicking on a
slider bar with your mouse pointer, holding the left mouse button down, and sliding the bar left
or right.
The Shadow Brightness Slider controls how much light is added to the dark areas of your image.
Moving the slider to the right adds more light and moving it to the left adds less. More light will
bring out more detail in the dark areas, but too high a setting may reveal noise that wasn't visible
before. The Shadow Brightness Slider goes from 0 (unmodified original image) to 20 (maximum
image adjustment), with 10 being the default setting. Experiment to find the right balance of
detail and noise for your image. The exact level of Shadow Brightness is displayed in the
Shadow Brightness Edit Box.
If you are using Windows, you can move the slider in one-increment steps using the left and
right arrow keys on your keyboard once you have selected it by clicking on it or using the tab
key. You can also use the page up and page down keys to move the slider in larger increments,
or the home and end keys to move the slider to the minimum and maximum values.
The Color Intensity slider bar controls how vivid the colors in your image are. The default “0”
setting will produce slightly more intense color than the original, in the same way that adding
more light to a scene makes the colors appear more vivid.
The color intensity adjustment is different from the saturation adjustment in your image editor,
because Digital SHO adjusts the colors relative to how bright they are in the Before image. So
colors that are already vivid will get boosted or muted less than colors that aren't as intense,
making the image look more natural.
Moving the Color Intensity slider bar to the right will increase the intensity of colors and is
useful for giving a washed out picture a little more richness. Because Color Intensity
adjustments may bring out slight colorcasts, it may be a good idea to run the ASF Digital ROC
plug-in prior to Digital SHO.
