Up to ten effects can in most cases be applied in succession to a single image, although with 
the exception of Image overlay each option can only be applied once (note that multiple 
edits may result in loss of detail). Options that can not be applied to the current image are 
grayed out and unavailable.

Except in the case of copies created with Trim, Small picture, Image overlay, NEF (RAW) 
processing, and Stop-motion movie, copies created from JPEG images are the same size 
and quality as the original, while copies created from NEF (RAW) photos are saved as large 
fine-quality JPEG images. Time stamps added with Date Imprint (

0 136) may however be 

cropped out or illegible depending on the retouch options used.
