Nikon Capture NX2 user manual Master Lightness, Different effects on the image, Enhancement

3Click directly on the curve for the selected channel to add an anchor point that can be moved and adjusted. Depending on the channel selected, the adjustments made to the curve will have

different effects on the image.

4After making adjustments to the first channel, you may make additional adjustments by selecting

another option from the channel pull-down menu. The enhancements made within each editor will

remain, enabling you to make adjustments to different channels within the same LCH

enhancement.

The LCH tool provides four different channels, each channel providing controls unique to that method. Use the channel pull-down menu to select which channel to use. The available channels are:

Master Lightness

The Master Lightness channel is similar to the Levels & Curves tool, but it affects only the lightness of the image without affecting the color. This is a great way to affect the tonality for your image without introducing unwanted color casts.
