Applying basic color corrections In the Develop module, the basic color corrections are generally best made in the following order:
t Apply tonal corrections to set the correct white point and maximize the tonal range in the image using the Histogram and the controls in the Basic panel.
t Adjust the overall brightness and contrast using the Brightness and Contrast controls and the Tone Curve panel.
t Apply sharpening and noise reduction in the Detail panel. t Add special effects such as decorative lens vignetting, grain, or specific color adjustments, using the HSL / Color / B &W, Split Toning, and Effects panels. The following exercise will take you through a typical image correction process.
Adjusting the white balance and the tonal range You’ll start by adjusting the white balance for the photo of the church using the Histogram and the controls in the Basic panel; then, you’ll improve the tonal range by lightening the image—especially in the shadow areas. 1 In the Filmstrip, select the photo of the church: DSC_0706.NEF. 2 You can make more space in the Loupe view for for the this portrait-format photo by hiding the top panel (F5) and the Filmstrip (F6).
