While you can retouch images that have already been processed by the Retouch menu, each retouch option can be applied only once, except for the Image Overlay and Edit Movie tools. You may notice some quality loss when applying more than one retouch option. To create a retouched copy of an image:

1.While browsing among images in Playback mode, press OK when an image you want to retouch is displayed on the screen. The Retouch menu will pop up, and you can select a retouching option.

2.From the Retouch menu, select the option you want and press the multi selector right button. The Nikon D7000’s standard image selection screen appears. Scroll among the images as usual with the left/right multi selector buttons, press the Zoom In button to examine a highlighted image more closely, and press OK to choose that image.

3.Work with the options available from that particular Retouch menu feature and press OK to create the modified copy, or Playback to cancel your changes.

4.A retouched JPEG image will be the same size and quality as the original, except for copies created from NEF and TIFF images (which are always saved as JPEG Fine images).
