2. PSE FUNCTIONS
2.1 Preparations
1) Preparing a sample RAW image
To create a Picture Style file, the user first selects a sample image.
PSE version 1.0 only supports RAW images shot on EOS 40D as sample images.
To ensure that the sample image is adjusted accurately in PSE, the image should also meet
the following conditions:
・Images shot with the correct exposure/white balance
・Images shot under the same environment as that be used for the created Picture Style file
2) Preliminary adjustments to sample images
As mentioned in 1) above, sample images used in the adjustments should ideally have
been shot with the correct exposure/white balance. However, if this was not the case for
the sample image to be used, the image can be adjusted within set limits in the [Preliminary
Adjustment] window.
The [Preliminary Adjustment] window is opened by selecting [Preliminary Adjustment]
in the [Tools] menu and can be used to adjust the exposure and white balance for a sample
image.
The adjustments in the [Preliminary Adjustment] window are really intended only as a
supplementary function to ensure that adjustments made using the tool palette are accurate.
As such, the adjustments are not applied in the Picture Style file and are not saved in the
sample image.
If the sample image used was shot with the correct exposure/white balance, there is no
need to use preliminary adjustment.
