Photo Effects
The Photo Effects tool enables you to take more creative control of your image. With this tool, you can
convert your image to a black and white, sepia, or tinted image. You can also control the tonality of the
image, enhance dark tones, and control the color balance.
The Photo Effects tool provides four different methods, each method providing controls unique to that
method. The available methods are:
Enhance Photo
Enhance Photo is the default method available to you
when you open the Photo Effects tool. This mode enables
you to control the tonality in your image, enhance dark
tones, and control the color balance of the entire image.
The following controls are provided within the Enhance
Photo method:
Brightness
The Brightness slider enables you to control the tonality
throughout your image. Move this slider to the left to
darken your image or to the right to brighten the image.
Enhance Dark Tones
The Enhance Dark Tones checkbox brings out additional
detail in the shadows of the active image.
Auto
When you click on the Auto button, Capture NX 2 will analyze the image and determine a recommended
setting for the Brightness slider. It will also determine automatically if the Enhance Dark Tones option
will be applied.
