Nikon NX2 user manual Colorize, Black and White Conversion, Blending Mode

Brightness

The Brightness slider controls the overall luminosity of the image. Move this slider to the left to darken the entire image or move this slider to the right to brighten the entire image.

Colorize

The Colorize tool enables you to add a color to your image.

The Colorize tool provides you with the following controls:

Color

Click on the Color patch to access the color picker or click on the eye dropper to sample any color within an image open within Capture NX 2’s editor to select the color to add to the image.

Opacity

The Opacity slider controls the intensity of the color that is being added to the image. A value of 100% will completely obscure the image’s detail, with lower values allowing more and more of the original image’s detail to be visible.

Blending Mode

The Blending Mode pull-down menu lets you select how the color is mixed with the colors from the image, using the same blending modes provided within the opacity mixer. For more information on the opacity mixer, see the “Opacity Mixer” section in Chapter 15, “Edit List”.

Black and White Conversion

The Black and White Conversion tool transforms a color image to a black and white version of the original while providing control over the highlights, shadows, and the relationship of tonal ranges throughout the image. This feature provides controls similar to controls used in traditional black and white photography, with the added power of digital image manipulation.
