Drag the brightness, contrast, or color sliders, or enter specific values in
the corresponding text box to make corrections. Dragging each slider to
the right or inputting a positive number in the text box increases the
brightness, contrast, and color.
Changes will be reflected in the displayed image and in the graph at the
top of the palette. The horizontal axis of the chart indicates the original
image values and the vertical axis the new values. Click the reset button
to cancel all changes.
Clicking the auto-setting button corrects the brightness and contrast auto-
matically without affecting the color balance. Click the reset button to
cancel the changes.
Is this picture too light? Adjusting brightness and contrast can be
more difficult than it looks. The top image looks too bright, espe-
cially the mountains in the background.
Simply making everything darker with the brightness control cre-
ates a muddy image - the snow and sky are a dull gray and there
are no strong blacks.
By adding contrast to the image, the snow is brightened while the
darker trees are accentuated. The extra contrast also gives the
image the appearance of being sharper as well as revealing fine
details.

AN INTRODUCTION TO COLOR
In photography, red, green, and blue are the
primary colors. The secondary colors, cyan,
magenta, and yellow, are made from combin-
RED
ing the primary colors: cyan = blue + green,
magenta = blue + red, and yellow = red +
green. The primary and secondary colors are
grouped in complementary pairs: red and
cyan, green and magenta, and blue and yel-
low.
MAGENTA
BLUE
YELLOW
GREEN
Knowing the complementary colors is very
important in color balancing. If the image has
a specific color cast, either subtracting the
CYAN
color or adding its complementary color will create a natural looking image. For example, if the image
is too red, decrease the amount of red; if the image is too yellow, increase the amount of blue.
Adding or subtracting equal parts of red, green, and blue will have no affect on the color balance.
However, it can change the overall image brightness and contrast. Usually, no more than two color
channels are needed to color balance an image.
Color balancing is a skill that develops with practice. While the human eye is extremely sensitive in
making comparative judgements, it is a poor tool when making absolute measurements of color.
Initially, it can be very difficult to distinguish between blue and cyan, and red and magenta. However,
adjusting the wrong color channel never improves an image; subtracting blue from an image that is
too cyan will give a green cast to the image.

A SHORT GUIDE TO TONE-CURVE CORRECTIONS
The tone curve is a graphic representation of the brightness and
color levels of the image. The bottom axis is the 256 levels of the
original image (input data) from black to white. The vertical axis is
the corrected image (output data) with the same scale from top to
bottom.
Highlights
Mid-
The bottom left portion of the graph represents the dark colors
and shadow areas of the image. The middle section represents
the mid-tones: skin, grass, blue sky. The top right section is the
highlights: clouds, lights. Changing the tone curve can affect the
brightness, contrast, and color of the image.

Input
Bring out detail in the shadows
This is a simple technique to make a subject hidden in the shad-
ows brighter. Unlike the brightness level control (page 33), this
method of correction will not loose details in the highlight areas of
the image.
With the RGB channel selected, place the smooth-curve cursor on
the center of the curve. Click and drag the curve up. Look at the
displayed image to judge the result. The adjustment can be very
small and still have a significant impact on the image. Moving the
tone curve down will make the image darker.

Increasing contrast
The contrast of an image can be changed. The light
blue 45° line on the tone-curve graph represents
the original contrast of the image. Making the angle
of the tone curve greater than 45° will increase the
contrast of the image. Making the angle less than
45° will reduce the contrast.
With the RGB channel selected, click on the tone curve near the top and bottom to add two nodes.
Slightly move the top node up and the bottom node down. This will increase the angle of the central
portion of the tone curve and increase the contrast of the image without making an overall change in
image brightness.
Correcting color
By selecting individual color channels on the tone curve, adjustments to the overall color of an image
can be made. This can be used to eliminate unnatural color casts or add warmth to a picture.
If the image is too red, green, or blue, simply drag the corresponding color-channel curve down until
the color appears natural. If the color cast is predominantly one of the secondary colors, cyan,
magenta, or yellow, move the curve of the complementary color up. For example, if the image is too
yellow, move the blue curve up. For more on color, see page 35.

The highlight level, shadow level, and gamma can be set manually. The histogram can be used to
maximize the distribution of the pixels in the image. All the levels on the histogram are displayed
numerically to the right of the sliders. These numbers can be changed with the keyboard.
The gamma slider defines the mid-tones of the image. Dragging the gamma slider to the right will
darken the image, and dragging it to the left will brighten it. Similar to the tone-curve correction
described on page 50, the gamma slider allows the brightness of the image to be adjusted without
loosing image information.
The input highlight slider sets the white level. As the slider is moved to the left, an apparent increase
in contrast can be seen in the displayed image. All pixels to the right of the slider are set to 255 and
any image detail they may contain will be lost. This can be an important tool for improving copy
images of text on a white background. Uneven illumination, or faded or stained paper can be distract-
ing when copying text or line art. By adjusting the white level, the imperfections of the white back-
ground can be eliminated leaving only the darker text visible.
The input shadow slider sets the black level. As the slider is moved to the right, an apparent increase
in contrast can be seen in the displayed image. All pixels to the left of the slider are set to 0 and any
image detail they may contain will be lost.
The black and white output levels can be adjusted. By moving the output highlight and shadow slid-
ers, the contrast of the image can be reduced.

A SHORT GUIDE TO HISTOGRAM CORRECTIONS
This guide shows simple corrections that can be made with a histogram. Unlike the the tone curve,
the histogram provides information on a specific image. This can used to evaluate the image and
make adjustments accordingly.
The histogram of the cherry blossoms shows a gap at the right and the flowers look a little grey. This
is caused by slight underexposure when the image was captured.
By moving the highlight slider to the left to set the white point to where the pixel distribution ends, the
whites become more brilliant and the contrast increases.
This image is flat. The pixel distribution in the his-
togram reflects the low-contrast scene. The lack of
any strong shadows or dark tones is indicated by
the absence of pixels on the left of the histogram.
Most of the detail is concentrated in a narrow
range in the mid-tones.

By moving the shadow
slider to the right to set
the black level to where
the pixel distribution
begins, image contrast is
improved.
The gamma slider can be used to change the relative distribution of the tones in the image. By mov-
ing the gamma slider to the left toward the shadows, the image becomes lighter. By moving the
gamma slider in the opposite direction, the image becomes darker. However, unlike the brightness
control in the brightness, contrast, and color-balance palette (p. 33), details are not lost in the shad-
ows or highlights.

HUE, SATURATION, AND LIGHTNESS PALETTE
This palette adjusts the image in reference to the HSB color model. These controls can be used to
manipulate the color image rather than producing a realistic representation.
The HSB color model defines color based upon human perception rather than photographic process-
es. Hue refers to each separate color in the model. Saturation is how vivid each colors is. Lightness
describes how bright or dark a color is in the color space.
The hue control is not a color balancing tool. It is a creative tool. When changing hue in the palette,
each color is assigned a new hue depending on the degree of rotation through the color space. For
example, a very simple color space could have three colors: red, green, and blue. I have a red barn
next to a green tree with a blue sky. Now I rotate the my image in the color space; the colors are
reassigned a new hue based on the position - the barn is green, the tree is blue, and the sky is red.
The HSB color space is similar, but with many more hues; see the color example on page 91.
Unlike the brightness control in the brightness, contrast, color balance palette, the lightness control
does not change the apparent density of the colors equally. For example, with an extreme increase in
lightness, blue will not appear as light as yellow.
Click the hue, saturation, and lightness button to open
the palette.
Drag the hue, saturation, or lightness slider, or enter specific values in the corresponding text box to
make corrections.
Dragging each slider to the right or inputting a positive number in the text box increases the satura-
tion, and lightness. The hue slider rotates the colors in the image through the color space; the maxi-
mum position to the right (180°) is the same as the maximum position to the left (–180°).
Two color spaces are displayed at the bottom of the palette. The top bar indicates the color space of
the original image. The bottom bar displays the relative changes to the color space.
Changes will be reflected in the displayed image. Click the reset button to cancel any changes.

PROCESSING RAW IMAGES
Certain digital cameras, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi, A1, and A2, use a special file format called RAW.
This file can only be read and processed by the DiMAGE Viewer software. To open a RAW file, sim-
ply double click on it in the thumbnail display
The open dialog box is used to define the parameters for the image. First the color mode of the
image should be selected; if black and white is chosen, the white-balance and filter controls are not
available.
White balance controls the overall
color of the image. The drop-down
menu automatically applies the camera
b
setting used when the image was cap-
tured or balances it to a specific light
source. The preset white-balance set-
a
tings vary between camera model.
Click on the manual-setting check box
for fine control over white balance. The
grey-point dropper tool can be used to
balance the image in reference to a
neutral point within the image area.
The color-temperature and CC index
slider and text box can be used to
enter the color temperature of the
scene when the image was recorded.
c
Before adjusting white balance, set the
filter and saturation sliders to zero (0)
so that image color can be judged
accurately.
68
ADVANCED IMAGE PROCESSING

Click on the gray-point button (a) to calibrate the white balance to a point within the image; the cursor
will change to the gray-point dropper tool. When the dropper is placed in the image area, the RGB
values of that point are displayed at the top of the window (b). Click on a neutral point within the
image to make the calibration (c). The point chosen can be at any brightness level, but it must have
no definite color. Although the filter and saturation setting in the dialog box will not affect the calibra-
tion, the sliders should be set to zero so that the results can be judged.
A Konika Minolta color meter can be used to measure the approximate color temperature of a scene
when the RAW image is captured. The recorded color temperature and CC index value from the
meter can be entered in the text boxes to set the white balance. A green CC value should be entered
as a negative integer and a magenta value as a positive integer. When making the reading, both the
the color temperature and the CC value must be recorded. See page 90 for information on color
measurement.
If the camera’s filter, saturation, contrast, or sharpness controls were used when the picture was
taken, the settings will be displayed in the dialog box. Changes to these settings are reflected in the
preview image. The cursor can be used to measure the RGB values of any point within the image.
When a Vivid color image is opened, the saturation level will be set to zero (0), but the high satura-
tion level of the color mode will be applied to the image. If color matching is on (p. 82), except when
using the original color space, any changes to the contrast will not be applied when the file is
opened.
The image brightness can be adjust by 2.0Ev with the exposure-compensation slider. The slider will
not reflect the degree of exposure compensation used when the image was captured. Like the bright-
ness control in the brightness, contrast, and color-balance palette, detail can be lost in the highlights
and shadows. To preserve these details, it is recommended to open the image without compensating
the exposure and adjust the image brightness with the tone-curve / histogram palette (p. 47).
The reset button returns all setting to their initial position. The close button cancels any settings made
and closes the window without processing the RAW image. To apply the settings to the image data
and open the file, click the OK button.

COLOR MATCHING - COLOR PREFERENCES
Each output device (monitor or printer) defines color
and contrast differently. To ensure accurate repro-
duction, the output color space must be defined.
Color matching is used for professional color man-
agement. It is not needed for normal personal use.
Select the color-preferences option from the file
menu to open the dialog box.
In the dialog box, click the color-matching-on check
box.
Select a color space from the drop-down list. The fol-
lowing color spaces are available:
Original Color Space (sRGB) - the color space of the camera image is not converted to a standard
color space. This color space is recommended for images captured with a Konica Minolta DiMAGE
digital camera. The DiMAGE Viewer, monitor, and printer interprets the color as sRGB for reproduc-
tion purposes, but does not convert the original camera color space.
Original Color Space (Adobe RGB) - Adobe-RGB color-mode images captured with a Konica
Minolta digital camera, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi, A1, or A2, must be opened with this color space
unless the color profile has been embedded; see the embedded camera profiles section on page 90.
As with Original Color Space (sRGB), the color space of the camera image is not converted to a
standard color space. The DiMAGE Viewer, monitor, and printer interprets the color as Adobe RGB
for reproduction purposes, but does not convert the original camera color space.
sRGB - the color space promoted by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft. Since it reflects the average PC
monitor characteristics, it is widely used around the world, and is considered to be the standard for
multi-media and Internet usage. sRGB is not suitable for professional prepress applications because
of its narrow reproduction range.

SMPTE-C - the current television broadcasting standard used in the United States.
PAL/SECAM - the current television broadcasting standard used in Europe.
ColorMatch RGB - this standard has a wide color space and is ideal for use with Radius Press View
monitors, which are commonly used in prepress production.
Adobe RGB - this color space is wider than ColorMatch RGB. The extensive color range makes it
ideal for prepress use. However, the range is so great that it includes many colors that cannot be
reproduced with a four-color printing process.
Wide-gamut RGB - utilizing the color coordinates of the spectrum, this standard offers an extreme
range of colors. Many of the colors that can be generated cannot be reproduced on standard com-
puter monitors or by printing technology.
NTSC - the current television broadcasting standard used in Japan.

EMBEDDED CAMERA COLOR PROFILES
Certain Konica Minolta digital cameras, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi, A1, and A2, can embed the cam-
era’s color profile into the image data for color matching. The color mode on the camera determines
the profile: sRGB, used with Natural and Vivid Color, or Adobe RGB. By setting the color space to
either Original Color Space (sRGB) or Original Color Space (Adobe RGB) in the color preference
window, the DiMAGE Viewer can determine the color space embedded in the image and adjust
accordingly. If the color space is not embedded in the image, the color space must be set manually
for both color spaces, see color matching on page 82.
NOTES ON COLOR MEASUREMENT
When opening a RAW image (p. 68), color information recorded on location with a Konica Minolta
color meter can be used to set the white balance of the image. If the image is captured under a con-
tinuous source like the sun or tungsten lighting, the corresponding measurement can be very effec-
tive in balancing the color of the image. However, because the spectral response of the camera’s
CCD and the color meter are not the same, if images are captured under lighting with a discontinu-
ous line spectrum like fluorescent or mercury vapor, the values recorded with the color meter may
not result in an accurate reproduction.
