Editing Images with RGB Image Adjustment Functions You can perform various edits on the RAW and RGB (JPEG, TIFF) images. When edited with the RGB image adjustment function, the image deteriorates slightly with editing. When you use the RGB image adjustment function, edit the image while checking changes in the image quality which accompanies editing. Automatically Adjusting the Tone Curve (Tone Curve Assist) You can automatically adjust the tone curve (p.2-9) of an image and adjust an image to a standard image brightness and color. 1 Select an image. 2 Edit the image. O You can apply edits to other images by copying and pasting the editing data to the other images (p.1-15). O You can revert edited images to the last saved settings or shot settings (p.1-17). 3 Save the editing data to the image (p.1-17). O You can convert an edited RAW image into an RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image and save it (p.1-18). O You can save an edited RGB (JPEG, TIFF) image as a separate image (p.1-18). If you quit Digital Photo Professional before saving the editing data to images, editing data applied to images will not be saved. Be sure to quit after saving editing data to images (p.1-17). O When multiple images are selected, the edits are applied to all the selected images. O The editing data can be saved in a separate file (p.1-15). O The edited images can be transferred to image editing software (p.1-21). O Editing of RAW images with the RAW image adjustment function (p.1-7 to p.1-10) is recommended as there is almost no deterioration of the image which accompanies editing. Although there is a similar function in the RGB image adjustment function, there is slight picture deterioration with editing. Therefore, where editing only with the RAW image adjustment function is insufficient, efficient RAW image editing which keeps image deterioration to a minimum can be performed by additionally using the RGB image adjustment function. O Editing data performed with Digital Photo Professional has not directly edited the image, but displays the image by applying virtual editing data (a recipe) (p.1-15). Therefore, you can recover the image which was shot or the image which was last saved (p.1-17) and editing can be performed any number of times. To create an image which you have directly edited according to editing data, convert/ save the image as a different image from the edited image (p.1-18). Since the image created by this procedure is edited directly, the image before editing cannot be recovered. Select the [Adjustment] menu [Tone curve assist]. ¿ The image is adjusted. Depending on the image, there may be cases where standard brightness and color are not adjusted. If this happens, you should edit the image with the tone curve adjustment function (p.2-9). Adjusting the Brightness You can adjust the brightness of an image in the range of -100 to +100 (in 1-step increments when entering a value). 1 Select [Adjustment] menu [Brightness adjustment]. ¿ The [Brightness adjustment] dialog box appears. 2 Adjust an image while viewing it. Drag the slider left or right to adjust the brightness. Restores the image to its original settings. Enter a value to adjust the brightness. 3 Click the [Close] button. 1-11 Cover/Table of Contents Introduction 1 Displaying Thumbnail Images and Performing Basic Edits in the Main Window 2 Performing Detailed Edits in the Edit Window 3 Performing Detailed Edits in the Edit Image Window 4 Checking an Image in the Quick Check Window Troubleshooting Shortcut Key List Index
