White Balance White Balance correction is used to remove "color casts" (unwanted color) from an image. The WB can be adjusted by using either the WB Slider or Eyedropper. You can use the Eyedropper to remove color from neutral tones only if the photo has neutral areas, and not all images do. When using the Eyedropper note that Temperature and Tint change automatically as different neutral points are selected. Tint Sets the WB to compensate for a green or magenta tint. Decrease Tint to add green to the image, and increase Tint to add majenta. Exposure Adjusts overall brightness with greatest affect in the high values. This is linear control, can result in clipping in shadows or highlights. Recovery Attempts to recover details from highlights. It reconstructs some details from areas in which one or two channels are clipped to white. Fill Light Attempts to recover details from shadows, without brightening blacks. Reconstructs some details from areas in which one or two channels are clipped to black. Blacks Specifies which input levels are mapped to black. Greatest change is made to Shadows, with much less change made to Midtones and Highlights. Brightness Similar to Exposure control, but does not clip shadows or highlights. It is a non-linear control, which compresses highlights or shadows to prevent clipping. Contrast Mainly changes contrast of midtones. Increasing makes middle-to-dark areas darker and middle-to-light areas darker. Clarity Adds Midtone contrast to an image. It is essentially a tone adjustment for the Midtones. This is a smart control which adjusts Midtones based on each image. Vibrance This is a non-linear control which adjusts saturation of low saturated colors much more than highly saturated colors. In addition, it prevents Skin Tones from becoming oversaturated. Saturation This is a linear control which adjusts the saturation of all colors. As a result, it is possible to oversaturate colors including skin tones. |
