Wider pupils (left) can lead to red-eye effects; the Nikon D7000’s red-eye reduc- tion lamp can cause pupils to contract (right).

If no red-eye is found, a copy is not created. Figure 10.12 shows an original image (left) and its processed copy (right).

Trim

This option creates copies in specific sizes based on the final size you select, chosen from among 3:2, 4:3, and 5:4 aspect ratios (proportions). You can use this feature to create smaller versions of a picture for e-mailing without the need to first transfer the image to your own computer. If you’re traveling, create your smaller copy here, insert the mem- ory card in a card reader at an Internet café, your library’s public computers, or some other computer, and e-mail the reduced-size version. Just follow these steps:

1.Select your photo. Choose Trim from the Retouch menu. You’ll be shown the stan- dard Nikon D7000 image selection screen. Scroll among the photos using the multi selector left/right buttons, and press OK when the image you want to trim is high- lighted. While selecting, you can temporarily enlarge the highlighted image by pressing the Zoom In button.

2.Choose your aspect ratio. Rotate the main command dial to change from 3:2, 4:3,

5:4, 1:1, and 16:9 aspect ratios. These proportions happen to correspond to the proportions of common print sizes, including the two most popular sizes: 4 ⋅ 6 inches (3:2) and 8 ⋅ 10 inches (5:4).

3.Crop in on your photo. Press the Zoom In button to crop in on your picture. The pixel dimensions of the cropped image at the selected proportions will be displayed in the upper-left corner (see Figure 10.13) as you zoom. The current framed size is outlined in yellow.
