Camera Adjustments Sharpening, Tone Comp., Color Mode, and Saturation In the case of images taken with D2series, D1-series, D200, D100, D70S, D70, or D50 cameras, the sharpening, tone compensation, color mode, and saturation settings in effect at the time the photograph was taken are marked with an asterisk (no asterisk will be displayed if "Auto" was selected for sharpening, tone compensation or saturation). Choose Unchanged for results identical to those obtained with the camera; other settings may not produce the same results. White Balance "Mired" Any given change in color temperature produces a greater difference in color at low color temperatures than it would at higher color temperatures. For example, at a color temperature of 6000 K, a change of 1000 K produces almost no change in color, while a change of the same amount at 3000 K would produce a large difference in color. Mired, calculated by multiplying the inverse of the color temperature by 106, is a measure of color temperature that takes such variation into account, and as such is the unit used in color-temperature compensation filters. Change in Color Temp 4000 K - 3000 K = 1000 K 7000 K - 6000 K = 1000 K Mired 83 Mired 24 Mired Gain The values for red and blue gain chosen in the White Balance palette are multiples of the value set for gain when the photograph was taken. Advisories & Additional Notices Choosing a Value for Gain Very large and small values for gain can result in a drop in image quality.
