Camera and Lens Corrections

Selecting this tool displays the following controls in the image adjustment palette:

•Color Moiré Reduction (RAW images only): To reduce col- or moiré (an image artifact visible where regular patterns overlap), select this item and choose an option from the menu.

•Image Dust Off (regular- or large-size RAW images only): Compare photos with reference data recorded using the camera to mitigate the effect of dust on the low-pass filter. Click Change… to choose the NDF file containing the desired data. For more information on recording reference data, see the camera manual.

•Lateral Color Aberration: Reduce lateral color aber- ration (colored fringes and halos) in RAW imag- es. At default settings, this option is not applied to JPEG and TIFF images.

•Axial Color Aberration: Reduce blurred colors caused by axial color aberration. Choose from values between 0 and 100: the higher the value, the greater the effect.

•Distortion Control: This option uses the lens information recorded with photo- graphs to reduce the barrel distortion associated with wide-angle lenses and the pin-cushion distortion associated with telephoto lenses.

•Vignette Control: Adjust for variations in peripheral illumination that occur with

some lenses. Choose from values between –100 and +200: the higher the val- ue, the greater the increase in brightness at the edges of the image.

•PF Flare Control: Reduce ring flare, circular flare, and other flare effects caused by bright light sources in the frame.

•Fisheye: Process photos taken with AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor ED 10.5⁜mm f/2.8G or AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor ED 16⁜mm f/2.8D lenses so that they appear to have been taken with a wide-angle rectilinear lens.

Dust changes position from day to day; if possible, use reference data recorded in the last 24 hours. If the camera offers image sensor cleaning, use only data recorded after the most recent cleaning, as cleaning can change the position of the dust.
