Correct Color Cast

The

Correct Color Cast slider is provided by selecting the Advanced method in the auto levels method

pull-down menu. This slider either increases or decreases the degree to which the color cast is reduced
within the image. A value of 50 is equivalent to the color cast reduction result of the

Auto method.

Light > D-Lighting

The

D-Lighting tool reveals details in shadows and highlights, correcting for underexposure, backlighting,

or insufficient flash, all without harming the properly exposed areas of the image or introducing unwanted
artifacts. D-Lighting can also help reveal detail in overexposed areas in brightly lit scenes.

The

D-Lighting tool provides you with the following controls:

Faster (HS) Method

The

Faster (HS) method of D-Lighting enables you to

quickly enhance the shadow areas and reveal additional
detail in the highlights of the active image as well as to
boost the colors of the entire image to produce a natural-
looking effect.

Adjustment

Move the

Adjustment slider to the right to bring out

details in the shadows and highlights of the active image.

Color Boost

Color Boost slider to the right to increase

saturation throughout the entire image.

Better Quality (HQ) Method

The

Better Quality (HQ) method enables you to take

additional control over the shadows and highlights in the
image, producing a better quality enhancement than the
Faster (HS) method.

Shadow Adjustment slider to the right to

bring out additional details in the shadows of the active
image.

Highlight Adjustment
