Step 3 |
If you have selected more than one raw image, click the forward arrow button which you will find under the main preview
area to the right to view each of the thumbnails. Another way to do this is to scroll down in the filmstrip on the left of the image. |

Step 4 |
In order to see in real time the adjustments you make to the raw image, make sure that the
“Preview” button found right above the large image in the center of the dialog box, is checked. |

Step 5 |
You can use tools located on the top part of the window to adjust the image: shadows, highlights (
if selected, the shadow and highlight areas will appear clipping in the previewed image) or zoom in the picture. |

Step 6 |
You can also chose to rotate the image (in 90° steps in both clockwise direction and
counter-clockwise). |

Step 7 |
You can use the Color Sampler Tool also found on the top part of the dialog box to place up to four color samplers in
the previewed image. When you have places such a sampler, the RGB readout for that sampler will appear above the large preview image. |

Step 8 |
After you have familiarized and used the tools found on top of the dialog box, it is time to edit the other settings of
the image. The main things you must set-up when dealing with raw files is the white balance and the exposure. The white balance represents the lighting
conditions under which the picture has been taken. When it calculates the exposure, a digital camera also records the white balance. The two components of
an image’s white balance is the temperature and tint. The temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees and according to it, the image will have a cooler or
warmer tone. The tint compensates for magenta or green color cast in the image. You may find that most of the time the camera has recorded a correct white
balance, but there may be cases in which you may want to change it, either to correct the image’s tone, either to give the image a certain effect.

Step 9 |
Click the “Basic” button situated under the histogram. This will display the Basic
white balance pop-up option menu. You can select the appropriate white balance setting from the pop-up menu, or you can enter the desired values in Kelvin
degrees in the slide below. |
