Image Adjustment

Curves

Although your Nikon digital camera will reproduce colors accurately if settings have been

ad just ed appropriately, it will usually be necessary to adjust contrast, tone (brightness) levels,

and color balance to make maximum use of the tone range and color gamut offered by a

particular output device, such as a printer or monitor. Nikon Capture offers two tools for

performing these tasks: the Color Balance palette (see “Color Balance” later in this chapter)

and the Curves palette. Of the two, the Curves palette offers the more precise control. The

Color Balance palette is useful when, for example, you want to adjust brightness or color

balance for all pixels in the image. The Curves palette, in contrast, allows adjustments to be

made to speciﬁ c por tions of the tone range, making it possible to enhance the image while

preserving detail.

Curves—an Overview

To view the Curves palette, select the tool palette containing the Curves palette from the

View menu (the default location for the Curves palette is Tool Palette 1) and click the triangle

at the top left corner of the palette. To enable the tools in the Curves palette, turn the Apply

button on (

Opening NEF Files Saved in Nikon Capture 3.5x or Earlier

In Nikon Capture 4, changes to color balance apply before changes to curves In earlier versions of Nikon

Capture, changes to curves applied before changes to color balance, with the result that settings may

change when the images saved in Nikon Capture 3.5x or earlier are opened in Nikon Capture 4.

Preferences > Advanced Color

Auto contrast, shadow, and highlight settings can be adjusted in the Advanced Color tab of the Prefer-

ences dialog.

The main editing tool in the Curves palette is the curve edit display, which contains a curve

showing the relationship between input (the tones in the original image) and output (how

the tones in the input will be represented in the ﬁ nal image). Separate curves control the

re la tion ship between input and output for the image as a whole (the “master curve”) and for

each of the red, green, and blue color com po nents, or “channels.” The default curve in each

case is linear, meaning that tones will be output exactly as they are input.
