Detail, Lens, Curve, and Calibrate tabs
These tabs contain options to adjust camera raw files.
Detail Adjusts sharpening, or applies luminance smoothing or color noise reduction. See “To adjust sharpening in
camera raw files” on page 83 and “Reducing noise in camera raw files” on page 84.
Lens Compensates for chromatic aberration and vignetting introduced by a digital camera. See “To compensate for
chromatic aberration in Camera Raw” on page 85 and “To compensate for lens vignetting” on page 85.
Curve Adjusts tonality using a Curves adjustment. Use the Tone Curve menu to choose a preset adjustment.
Calibrate Corrects a color cast in the shadows and adjusts non-neutral colors to compensate for the difference
between the behavior of your camera and Camera Raw’s built-in profile for your camera model. To save adjustments
as the default settings for a specific camera, click the triangle next to the Settings menu. Then, from the Camera Raw
dialog box menu, choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults. See “To remove a shadow color cast in camera raw files”
on page 85 and “To adjust the rendering of non-neutral colors in Camera Raw” on page 86.
