The Brightness slider enables you to control the brightness within the image. Move the slider to the
left to darken the image or move the slider to the right to brighten the image.
Saturation and Hue Adjustment
The Saturation and Hue options enable you to control characteristics of the color of the image. The
results of the Saturation and Hue section are also dependent on the Picture Control option selected.
Turn on the Auto option to enable Capture NX 2 to determine the appropriate amount of saturation, or
color intensity, for the current image. The Saturation slider is not accessible while the Auto option is
turned on.
Use the Saturation slider to adjust the amount of saturation for the current image. Move this slider to
the left to reduce the saturation and make the colors less vibrant, or move the slider to the right to
increase the saturation and make the colors more vivid.
The Hue slider enables you to alter the hue of your entire image without affecting brightness or
saturation. Moving this slider to the left will cause skin tones to become increasingly red while moving
this slider to the right will produce more yellow skin tones.
Filter Effects
The Filter Effects pull-down menu enables you to change the contrast within monochrome images by
emulating the use of different colored filters used in traditional black and white photography. Each filter
changes the relationship of objects found within the image based on their color.
