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.

Dodging

Please Try Dodging
Dodging Dodging is a function to give a different part each exposure of one piece of photograph.

For Example

a bird is gloomy, and the lower photograph comes out. However, a background is too bright if this photograph becomes bright more than this. Dodging can light a gloomy part. Therefore the bird is expressed brightly.

For Example

This is the example where it is overexposed.
the difference of the light and shade is a thing of the big case. As for this photograph, an exposure fits a gloomy part. Therefore a background is too bright and is white, and it is expressed. Dodging can restore gradation and the color of the part which it is too light. Because SILKYPIX is because I use the information of RAW data to the maximum.

For Example

This is the example where it is overexposed.
There should be the sea and the horizon in the background. However, it does not seem that it is too bright. On the other hand, the hair of the person is too gloomy. This is in state that contrast is too high. The dodging compresses a highlight and lights a shadow. Therefore the dodging can balance a shadow with a highlight in such a scene.

One shot HDR.

HDR What is HDR (high dynamic range)?

HDR is a function to achieve a wide dynamic range. Can be expressed in rich tones of difference in subject brightness. You can not get a picture representation of saturation or underexposure. And it is closer to the human eye.
Sample:Occur around the fringes of white.
If the exposure is set to either the mountains or grass, cloud is saturated.
SILKYPIX HDR can be finished to a wide dynamic range photo.
In addition, RAW data in one file only.

HDR Sample:Moving subjects

HDR Sample:Moving subjects
General HDR is performed by synthesizing multiple photos.
But if the case is moving subject is difficult.
It is possible to apply in this case.
HDR in this way can be used in a variety of subjects.

HDR Sample:Night Snapshot

HDR Sample:Night Snapshot
HDR is effective even at night.
Without saturating illumination, the brighter the darker areas.

HDR Sample:Combination with the tone.

HDR Sample:Combination with the tone.
Change the contrast to use in conjunction with the tone control.
The image is high contrast and high dynamic range.

HDR from RAW data taken in the past.

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 create 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.

Improvement of the auto white balance evaluation.

New false color ctrl.

Sample1:The case of subject is whitish
Cherry blossoms are a pale pink.
The camera's auto white balance can cause white showed deviation to determine the color of the cherry.
SILKYPIX AWB (absolute) can detect the color of the light source, without relying on the color of the subject.
This has been achieved accurate AWB.

Sample2:If there are many green in the picture

Sample2:If there are many green in the picture
Many digital cameras has determined that it would cast many green to green in this case the photo.
SILKYPIX AWB can be detected even if the white balance exactly like this.

Sample3:Shooting in cloudy weather.

Sample3:Shooting in cloudy weather.
The pictures on cloudy days became bluish, and turbid colored cases.
Turbidity of color are eliminated by setting the correct white balance.

If there is no gray in the picture.

If there is no gray in the picture.
Generally, if there is no gray part in the photo, an accurate auto white balance is difficult.SILKYPIX AWB sets the white balance correctly even though there is no gray part.

Two types of auto white balance.

*Auto White Balance (absolute)
  • AWB to correct the color of the light source as possible.
*Auto White Balance (Natural)
  • AWB light source color of the type of respect.
Two types of auto white balance.
The photo above is taken under the light bulb.
Color of the bulb is "Auto (absolute)" has been fully correction.
On the other hand, "Auto (nature)" is perceived in color.

Color correction of multiple light sources.

Sample:Fluorescent lighting and ambient light shooting.

If there are two or more different light colors in your photos, and processes them to determine automatically.
Sample:Fluorescent lighting and ambient light shooting.
This photo was taken under fluorescent light bulb.
However, under the influence of ambient light from the background.
This is a state in which there is a different color temperatures in the photo.
This feature allows correction for each color temperature.

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.

Black level tool

The default setting is completely black part of the specified RGB values ??(R0, G0, B0) has to set.

*How to use
There are two kinds of black.
For example, a car tire. This is a black color.It has the tone.
Another black in space.It does not have the tone.This is completely black.
Please specify the completely black in black level tools.

Sample 1:Black level tool

Sample 1:Black level tool
It is too pale color photographs. This is due to the dark too bright.
Choose black with black-level tools.
The adjusted later became a good tone.

Sample 2:Black level tool

Sample 2:Black level tool
Example of using the flash.
Dark areas are taken in too bright.The weak tones for it.
So, choose a hole in the guitar.The dark tone was set.

Color

screenshot *About Profiles
  • A profile is a characteristic color.

Fragmentation of the color mode

The color mode "profile" has been added.

Compatibility with older versions list

Fragmentation of the color mode Fragmentation of the color mode
*V4 compatible
  • At the border of different colors may be a side effect blurred contours.
*Natural
  • This mode is the default setting SILKYPIX DSP5.
*Faithful
  • This mode has good tones. The faithful color reproduction.
*Monochrome
  • Converted to monochrome.

Introduction to the faithful.

Comparison of natural and faithful

In this mode, the saturation is kept even when the contrast is changed.
Therefore, the following features.
  • Even if it is set higher contrast, vivid colors too.
  • Even if it is set lower contrast, color is too pale.
Please use in conjunction with the tone and saturation.
Comparison of natural and faithful
The default setting is a difference in the color of the vivid.
  • Nature is vivid color.
  • Faithful is is smooth tone.

Comparison of changes in tone.

Comparison of changes in tone.
If used Faithful, even if the tone changes are made to maintain the color coordinates.
Therefore, the color saturation does not occur even if the contrast is set higher.

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".
