Editing an Image

Automatic Adjustment Using ZB

Edit Image window

If the brightness or color of images is different from what you visualized
when you shot the photo, you can adjust an image using the editing
functions to bring them closer to what you visualized.
This section explains about automatic adjustment of images, adjustment
of brightness, saturation and contrast, trimming images, inserting text
into images, adjustment of sharpness and red-eye correction.

JPEG images deteriorate slightly when edited and saved, and the image
before editing cannot be recovered. For this reason, an edited JPEG
image should be saved as a separate image from the original image.

Chapter 3 explains about high-level editing functions other than those
described above and adjustment of RAW images.

The brightness and colors, etc. of the image are automatically adjusted.

This section explains image editing using high-level functions based on
the assumption that you are familiar with handling standard image
editing software.
JPEG images deteriorate slightly when edited and saved, and the image
before editing cannot be recovered. For this reason, an edited JPEG
image should be saved as a separate image from the original image.

Adjusting RAW Images

You can make the same adjustments (reset processing conditions) to
RAW images as the functions that are available on the camera, such as
brightness and white balance adjustment. You can also convert edited
RAW images to JPEG or TIFF images and save them.

Because only the image processing conditions are changed when a
RAW image is adjusted, the original image data remains totally
unaffected. For this reason, image deterioration that usually
accompanies editing does not occur and you can readjust, redo or undo
changes knowing that you can always revert to the original shot
condition of the image.

Select a RAW image.
