7. Development Parameter Operation

7.1. Copy development parameters


You can copy the development parameter of the selected image to other images by utilizing the paste buffer.

First, select image to be copied, and copy the development parameters and image properties to the paste buffer with [Parameters (P)]-[Copy development parameters (C)] from the menu or [Ctrl] + C.
Next, paste the development parameters or image properties recorded in the paste buffer to a single or multiple selected images.

Pasting methods are different for "Development parameters" and "Image properties". The following explains how to paste.

7.1.1. Paste development parameters

This is the method for pasting overall "Development parameters" as a batch.(*1)
By the menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Paste development parameters (P)] or the shortcut key [Ctrl]+V, you can paste the entire development parameter from the paste buffer to the selected images.

*1 The "Crop tool" is treated as special parameters not included in the whole, and are not copied. Please copy this parameters using the "Partial paste of development parameters" function.

7.1.2. Partial paste of development parameters

Use when pasting partial development parameters and parameters that are not development parameters (crop tool) that are recorded in the paste buffer.
The menu command [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of development parameters] displays the "Partial paste of development parameters" dialog. Clicking [Paste] button pastes the selected part of the parameters to the target images.

7.1.3. Partial paste of image properties

Use this when copying the editing contents of "Image properties" to other images.

Information from an image with no edited "Image properties" cannot be copied to other images.
The "Partial paste of image properties" function is turned off when "Image properties" edited contents are not recorded in the paste buffer.

First, copy development parameters and image properties into the paste buffer from "Copy development parameters".
Next, display the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog with [Parameters (P)]-[Partial paste of image properties] from the menu.

Edit items in "Image properties" will be displayed in the "Partial paste of image properties" dialog.
Check the items from "Image properties" for pasting and click the "Start" button.

* Please note that if you paste "DateTime" of photograph taken, the edited contents for "DateTime" will be a different date and time.
Please refer to "4.14.8. DateTime" for details.

7.1.4. Special handling of pasted development parameters

When copying development parameters through pasting development parameters or partial paste, some development parameters are processed through a special conversion.
Furthermore, development parameters that have settings for "On" and "Off" are specially handled.

7.1.4.1. Paste Cropping Area

When pasting the "Crop tool" by the "Partial paste of development parameters" function, "Crop tool" is appropriately converted according to the image orientation or the development parameter.
When the orientation of the image is different, "cropping area" is turned 90 degrees.
When the image is transformed by "Rotation/Shift lens effect" function, the "cropping area" is relocated to become identical the relative position in the default valid area.
This conversion adjust only a position and an orientation, but the size of the cropping area is not changed. The extension area settings are pasted just as it is.
When pasting the parameter which does not specify a cropping area, the "cropping area" of the target image will be initialized.

7.1.4.2. Pasting Shift lens effect

Top-bottom and left-right shifts in the shift lens effect parameters of the "Rotation/Shift lens effect" category are parameters that depend on the aspect of the image. Whether the image is horizontal or vertical is one criterion.
Therefore, if the shift lens effect parameter set on a horizontal image is pasted on a vertical image, "Top-bottom shift" and "Left-right shift" parameters will appropriately convert them.
This conversion is performed when images are rotated in 90degree units.


7.2. Save Development Parameters


You can record and save development parameters of a selected image as a file.

Click on img/ico_taste07.jpg in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Save development parameters] in the menu to begin processing.

SILKYPIX automatically records and saves the latest status of edited development parameters, but please use this if you want to save the status of development parameters at will.


7.3. Load Development Parameters


You can load the development parameters from the saved parameter file (.spd) by the "Save development parameter" function, or from the developed image file (.jpg/.tif) by SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6.

Click on img/ico_taste08.jpg in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Load development parameters (L)] in the menu to begin processing.
If you select multiple images in the "Thumbnail" mode or the "Combination" mode, you can load the development parameter to all selected images.

* By SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 , the development parameter is embedded into the developed image file (.jpg/.tif). And you can load the development parameter from this developed image file.
For example, how to operate and use the features are noted below.

(1) You must save the developed image file (.jpg/.tif) with Exif information to embed the development parameter into the file.
(2) Please select the target images to load.
* If you select multiple images, you can load the development parameter to all selected images.
(3) Display "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control by clicking the [Tastes/Parameters] button.
(4) Click the [Load development parameters] button on the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control.
(5) The "Load development parameters" dialog will be displayed.
Designate the location in which JPEG / TIFF image files were saved in (1) above in the "File name" field.
(6) Change the "File type" field as needed.
(7) Select the source JPEG/TIFF file and then Click the [Open(O)] button.
(8) The development parameter will be loaded to all selected images.


7.4. Initialize Development Parameters


Return development parameters of one or multiple selected images to initial status. If default parameters are set, default parameters will be applied.

Click on img/ico_taste09.jpg in the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, or use [Parameters (P)]-[Initialize development parameters (I)] in the menu to begin processing.



7.5. Copy Development Parameters to Storerooms


In the "Tastes/Parameters" sub-control, you can save the development parameter in the storerooms temporarily, and you can also restore the development parameter from the storerooms.

You can utilize this feature to save the development parameter temporarily during operating one image, or to copy the development parameter from one image to other images.

The Storerooms has four rooms (ROOM) that you can freely utilize, and a special room (Latest) that automatically stores the latest editing parameters.

Click the ./img/ico_genzou01.jpg button at the left side of the storerooms to save the development parameter of the selected image. Then a subscription time is displayed at the storerooms and it becomes active.

Click the active storerooms to paste the development parameter to the selected images.

This feature can be utilized for the comparison of two development parameters, too.

7.5.1. Paste the latest editing development parameters

The latest status of edited development parameters is always stored in a room for temporary registrations, shown as "Latest" at the bottom.

By pasting image parameters stored in this room to other images, you can continue working on other successive images under the editing status of other images being operated on up to that point.
Editing results of one image can be applied to other images as is, if images were taken under roughly the same photographic conditions or are successive, such as when photographed in a studio or when photographed in successive mode. This can also efficiently adjust the development parameters of multiple photographs by starting editing from that point, even if not kept exactly the same.

* Temporarily registered development parameters remain on until the software is ended. Use "Save development parameters" if you want to save the development parameters because they will otherwise be cleared when the software is closed.


7.6. Set Development Parameters to Multiple Images


You can set the development parameter stored in the storerooms to multiple images continuously. Click the ./img/ico_genzou02.jpg button at the right side of the storerooms in the "Thumbnail mode" or the "Combination mode".
Then the operation mode is changed to continuously paste mode. In this mode, you can set the development parameter to the target image by clicking on the thumbnail, and you can repeat this action continuously.
Click the ./img/ico_genzou02.jpg button at the right side of the storeroom once again to return to the previous mode.


7.7. Operations for Multiple Selected Images


When multiple images are selected, the parameters of all images can be edited as a batch.
There is an image called the "Representative Image" when multiple images are selected. The image of the "Representative Image" is displayed in preview and the selection display in the thumbnail window is brighter than other images.
As for "Copy development parameters", "Save development parameters", "Copy development parameters to Storerooms" and "Add taste", development parameters for the "Representative Image" are applied.




7.8. Select Taste


You can select the development parameter from the list of taste. You can improve efficiency of your work flow by registering the taste that is used frequently.
About "Taste", please refer to '4.1.1. Taste'.
Please see "4.1.1.1. All category tastes" and "4.1.1.2. Other tastes" concerning how to select tastes.


7.9. Add taste


You can register the development parameter of the selected image as "taste". You can improve efficiency of your work flow by registering the taste that is used frequently.
You can register in the taste section the current selected image's development parameters. The registered taste parameters that you use often can be moved up toward to top to make your operation more efficient.
Please see "4.1.1.3. Add taste" concerning how to add tastes.


7.10. Default parameters settings


You can register the taste as the default parameter, which was registered to "All parameters" of "Taste category".
For more details, please refer to the '9.5. Default parameters settings'.


7.11. About "SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 6" Development Parameters


You can import development parameters of SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 6. SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 applies the imported development parameters to an image for rendering a preview and a developed image.
SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 does not support all operations for development parameters provided in SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 6. This is why you cannot adjust development parameters only available in SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 6.
It depends on a category of development parameters whether you can paste them to another image or save them to a taste.

SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 handles development parameters only available in SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 6 as the following table.

(*1) SILKYPIX® automatically generates a "development parameter file" for an editing image. When SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 6 opens a file or a folder, an auto-generated "development parameter file" is read automatically. Reading an auto-generated file restores the previous editing state. For further details, please see "10.4.3.1. Development Parameter File and Collateral Information File".
(*2) Development parameters by SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 5 or previous versions are handled the same way.
(*3) A preview and a developed image are different from those rendered by SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro 5 or previous versions.
