Local Correction

With the Home Deluxe/Business license, you can use the Local Correction tool to refine the result on certain areas.

• Step 1. Switch to the Local Correction mode . Choose (the hot-key is B) and draw over the image to select areas for additional processing. The tool size is adjustable in a pop-up box which appears after right-clicking on the image.

  You can easily edit or remove selections with the Eraser .

  

  Use / to show/hide all selected areas.

• Step 2. Right click within the selection to open the parameters for this area. Different areas can be processed with different parameters.
  • Show Selection. Disable the check-box to hide the selection and view the image.
  • Exposure (-100..100). If the exposure is too low, the image becomes dark with the lack of details in shadows, if it's too high - the image lightens up with loss of detail in light areas.

    Exposure = -50	Exposure = 50

  • Saturation (-100..100). The parameter changes the color intensity.

    Saturation = -50	Saturation = 50

  • Contrast in Shadows (0-200). The parameter makes dark areas even darker.

    Contrast in Shadows = 10	Contrast in Shadows = 100

  • Contrast in Highlights (0-200). The parameter makes light areas even lighter.

    Contrast in Highlights = 50	Contrast in Highlights = 150

  • Temperature (-100..100). The parameter makes the image colder or warmer. Moving the cursor to the left of 0 increases the number of cool (blue) tones, while moving it to the right of 0 increases the number of warm (yellow) tones.

    Temperature = -50	Temperature = 50

  • Details (-100..500). Increasing the parameter sharpens the image. If the value is less than 0, the image is blurred.

    Details = 0	Details = 500

  • Threshold (0-100). The parameter determines pixels to be processed.

    Threshold = 5	Threshold = 50

  • Transition (0-100). The parameter creates a smooth transition between adjacent pixels.

    Transition = 30	Transition = 80

  • Radius (0-5000). The parameter lets you increase the processing area spreading the effect beyond the selection.

    Radius = 100	Radius = 1000

  Any changes of the parameters are applied automatically.
