Exposure bias

The adjustment of the exposure.
Exposure bias EXP.bias is a function to adjust the brightness of the photograph.

Example to light

This example was photographed under low light.
Thise photograph was captured under low light. SILKYPIX can adjust the under exposeure photograph.

Example to darken

This is the example where it is overexposed.
Note the default picture. The top of the mountain is overexposed. The photograph after adjustment regains the gradation of the part which was clipped. This was done by reducing the amount of exposure. SILKYPIX fully utilizes the highlight information of RAW data.

White balance

The SILKYPIX white balance which is correct in every source of light.
White balance Even if the subject is affected by the color of the source of light, SILKYPIX offers the best color.

Example by the bridal photography

This example shows the affect of the light source.
Have you ever had an experience where whites aren't appearing to be white? The bride in this photo will be expecting you to capture her wedding dress white. You can now obtain the white balance you really want when you photograph in RAW.

When it seems to be next, the white balance adjustment is effective.

  • Influences by light sources such as an electric bulb or the fluorescent lamp.
  • Photography in the shade.
  • In still life photography, clients demand the most accurate colors from you.
  • · When you want to creat an impressive artistic photograph.

For your expression

The genuine color of a sunset
In some cases, your camera will negatively affect the desired white balance of a photograph. With SILKYPIX, you can apply the appropriate white balance filters so your image looks the way it should.

Tone

Tone controls gradation.
Tone Tone is a function that regulates the gradation of light and shade in the photograph.

The example of the metal feel of a material

This example is lit by a soft light.
High contrast can emphasize the difference between light and shade. The metal feel of a material is accentuated through easy adjustment.

An example of Boosting Contrast to remove haze

Low contrast tends to happen due to poor atmospheric conditions (haze) and soft light . This produces a reduced third dimensional perpsective of an image.
The photograph regains a three-dimensional impression by increasing the contrast that deteriorated by the poor atmospheric conditions.

An example when contrast is too strong

Contrast is too strong, and the texture of the material is lost.
A low contrast setting is useful to regain the texture of the material of a soft subject such as cloth.

Use example of a black level

In this example the image looks a washed out because the shadows are too bright.
The black level can regulate the shadowed area without affecting exposure.

Color

Control of the vividness
Exposure bias The saturation function adjusts the vividness and strength of color.

A memory color for Landscape photographs.

This is the original color of the subject.
The photograph above seems weaker than when you were there.

A portrait color for portrait photographs.

Skin color becomes dull in portraits.
As for the portrait mode, it has a more even tone for skin color appearance.

The use example of the film mode.

Film mode V1


Film mode K


Film mode A

Explanation

Standard color This is the standard color creation of SILKYPIX?, which aims for true color reproduction. This mode provides reasonable and natural colors for many scenes.
Memory color 1 It is perceptional that colors in our memory, or colors of an object that we want appear different from the actual colors.
Memory color 2 A new color reproduction technology with "3-dimentional color mapping method."
Portrait color 1 This mode is color reproduction, which emphasis tone and is better suited for photographing people.
Portrait color 2 This mode highlights the skin color with new color reproduction technology "3-dimentional color mapping method", which is subtly different from Portrait color 1.
Portrait color 3 This highlights the color of clothes and background slightly shifted from the "memory color" based on "Portrait color 2.
Film color V1 The reversal film for high saturation.
Film color V2 The reversal film has extremely high saturation, which exaggerates the color it simulates.
Film color P This mode simulates and reproduces a vivid neutral reversal film.
Film color A This mode reproduces high saturation, simulates and reproduces reversal films.
Film color K This mode reproduces the unique sensation of reversal film.
Monochrome 1 This mode is to make monochrome photographs.
Monochrome 2 This mode is generates a natural monochrome photograph that is close to what you see and feel. Please select a mode, which is closest to the expression of the scene.

Sharpness

Enhance of an edge and the detail
Tone Sharpness corrects the definition lost by a low pass filter.

An example of the microstructure in the bird

The lens catches microstructures, but a feeling of definition may be lost by a low pass filter.
The appropriate sharpness setting can correct for low definition.

Use example of False outline ctrl

When you apply a "Strong Sharp", there is an outline (halo) which may occur on the boundary line of two contrasting colors.
False outline control, controls this outline. As a result, You can apply "stronger sharpening".


Noise reduction

The removal function of the digital noise
Tone Noise reduction is effective for recovering detail sensitive areas where high frequency noise has taken hold.

It is an example by the exposure for a long time in high ISO

You may see red and a green points in this photograph. This type of a noise is called false color.
The false color control can delete these red and green points. While, resolution is maintained as much as possible.

This is an example of the false color by the influence of the high frequency.

A false color occurs in the subject.
False color control can remove this noise. It does not affect resolution.
