Retouching Copies

With the exceptions of Image overlay and Edit movie > Choose start point/Choose end
point
, each effect can be applied once (note that multiple edits may result in loss of detail).
Options that can not be applied to the current image are grayed out and unavailable.

A

Image Quality

Except in the case of copies created with Trim, Small picture, Image overlay, and NEF
(RAW) processing
, copies created from JPEG images are the same size and quality as the
original, while copies created from NEF (RAW) photos are saved as large fine-quality JPEG
images. Time stamps added with Date Imprint (

0 147) may however be cropped out or

illegible depending on the retouch options used.
