dated automatically as settings are changed.

Because changes to settings are stored separately from the original image data,
the original picture can be restored at any time with no drop in quality.

When les are converted to JPEG or TIFF, the changes are applied to the image as
it is saved to create a new, modied image data le.

Image Adjustments
Image adjustments are stored in a “NKSC_PARAM” folder in the same folder as the original image. All
changes will be lost if this folder or the image adjustment le is deleted; similarly, because the image
and the image adjustment le are linked via the le name, changes will be lost or applied to another
image if the image adjustment le is renamed.
