Exposure
Drag the slider to the right to increase exposure, or drag to the left to decrease exposure. One eV is equivalent
to one stop of exposure change.
Highlight
Enhancement
Drag the slider to the right to recover detail in overexposed areas of the image.
Fill Light
Drag the slider to the right to add light to the darkest areas of the image.
Contrast
Drag the slider to the right to increase contrast, or to the left to decrease contrast.
Saturation
Drag the slider to the right to increase saturation, or to the left to decrease saturation.
Vibrance
Drag the slider to the right to increase vibrance, or to the left to decrease vibrance. Increasing the vibrance
does not affect skin tone in an image. This is unlike saturation, which intensifies all colors equally.
Clarity
The Clarity tool adds subtle definition to the details in your image. Use the Clarity slider to enhance the
contrast of midtones, without overpowering the shadows and highlights. Drag the slider to the right to
increase clarity, or to the left to reverse clarity.
Use the Settings button to reset sliders to Last Saved or Last Used settings. You can also save your settings as a preset,
copy, or paste them.
A brief technical explanation of eV
eV stands for exposure value. When you capture an image, the exposure is determined by several things — the f-stop (or aperture)
shutter speed, and ISO. Typically, the camera automatically determines the optimal exposure based on a built-in light meter and
then sets the f-stop and shutter speed accordingly. However, the light meter can be fooled by a bright sky or dark surroundings,
leading it to choose an incorrect f-stop and shutter speed. This results in an underexposed or overexposed image. With the
exposure slider you can compensate for exposure problems caused by incorrect settings when the image was captured.
Adjusting White Balance
Use the White Balance group to remove unwanted color casts in your images.
You can save your settings as a preset for future use.
To adjust the white balance in an image:
1. In Develop mode, select the Tune tab.
2. In the White Balance group, do one of the following:
3. Automatically adjust white balance by selecting a portion of the image with neutral gray pixels with the White Balance
eyedropper.
4. Manually adjust white balance with the sliders as described below.
You can right-click a slider to reset to the default value.
