Use the multi selector to create a copy with modified color 
balance as shown below. The effect is displayed in the monitor 
together with red, green, and blue histograms (

0 125) giving 

the distribution of tones in the copy.

Image overlay combines two existing NEF (RAW) photographs to create a single 
picture that is saved separately from the originals; the results, which make use of RAW 
data from the camera image sensor, are noticeably better than overlays created in an 
imaging application. The new picture is saved at current image quality and size 
settings; before creating an overlay, set image quality and size (

0 47, 49; all options 

are available). To create an NEF (RAW) copy, choose an image quality of NEF (RAW).

Highlight Image overlay in the retouch menu 
and press 

2. The dialog shown at right will be 

displayed, with Image 1 highlighted; press 

J to 

display a list of the NEF (RAW) pictures created 
with this camera.
