with no detail), Brightness compresses the highlights and expands the shadows when you move the slider to the right. 
In general, use the Brightness slider to adjust the overall brightness after you set the white and black clipping points 
with the Exposure and Shadow sliders.

Adjusts the midtones in an image. Higher values increase the midtone contrast, and lower values produce an 

image with less contrast. Generally, use the Contrast slider to adjust the contrast of the midtones after setting the 
Exposure, Shadow, and Brightness values.

Sharpens the clarity of edges in the image. This process helps restore detail and sharpness that tonal 

adjustments may reduce.

Adjusts the saturation so that clipping is minimized as colors approach full saturation, changing the 

saturation of all lower-saturated colors with less impact on the higher-saturated colors. Vibrance also prevents skin 
tones from becoming oversaturated. 

Adjusts the color saturation of the image from –100 (pure monochrome) to +100 (double the saturation).

Sharpening enhances the definition of edges in an image. Additional controls are available in the Detail 

panel. The zoom level must be set to 100% or greater in order to view the effects of these controls.

•

Amount: Adjusts edge definition. Increase the Amount value to increase sharpening. A value of zero turns off 
sharpening. In general, set Amount to a lower value for cleaner images. The adjustment locates pixels that differ 
from surrounding pixels based on the threshold you specify and increases the pixels’ contrast by the amount you 
specify.

•

Radius: Adjusts the size of the details that sharpening is applied to. Photos with very fine details may need a lower 
radius setting. Photos with larger details may be able to use a larger radius. Using too large a radius generally results 
in unnatural results.

•

Detail: Adjusts how much high-frequency information is sharpened in the image and how much the sharpening 
process emphasizes edges. Lower settings primarily sharpen edges to remove blur. Higher values are useful for 
making the textures in the image more pronounced.

•

Masking: Controls an edge mask. At a setting of zero, everything in the image receives the same amount of 
sharpening. At a setting of 100, sharpening is mostly restricted to areas near the strongest edges. 

Adjusts the color saturation of the image from –100 (pure monochrome) to +100 (double the 

saturation).

•

Luminance: Adjusts grayscale noise.

•

Color: Adjusts chroma noise.
