4.2.2.4 Image Tools

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURES

To display an image Histogram, perform image processing adjustments, or apply various image

processing effects to the images displayed in either the Preview or Playback Panels:

Click on the Image Tools, , icon, then

Apply the desired image processing effect(s), or filter.

For a brief description of the supported image processing effects and filters, see; Functional

Descriptions>Image Processing Effects and Filters.

Click the Exit, , icon, to close the Image Tools dialogue window.

NOTE

Several image processing techniques can be applied to the entire recorded alone or in

combinations to bring out hidden features and details. The type of effects available will be

depended upon the type of camera the cine or images were recorded from, (color or

monochrome, 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-bit pixel image bit depth).

Not all image processing techniques are appropriate for every image. Vision Research

recommends the user experiment with the image processing effects to find the best

enhancements for their needs.

CAUTION

When using a monitor to apply image processing effects, the White Balance control, and all

brightness, contrast, gamma, and color adjustments should be changed only when using a

monitor that is in correct adjustment. Occasionally, an operator will over adjust the monitor

settings in extreme lighting conditions, such as in direct sunlight, in an attempt to get a better

look at what he is trying to image. "Correcting" the appearance of images on a poorly adjusted

monitor will have a negative result on cine recordings that will later be viewed on a properly

adjusted monitor under normal conditions.
