3 Adjust the Hue Boost parameter using the Hue Boost slider and value slider.
Use the Hue Boost slider and
value slider to protect hue fidelity
during the RAW decoding process.
A value of 0.00 preserves the original hues in the image in relation to the Boost adjustment
(color contrast) during the RAW decoding process. A value greater than 0.00 increases the hue
adjustment to the image. A value of 1.00 applies the full Apple-recommended hue adjustment
for the specic camera model.
Using the Sharpening Controls
You can adjust sharpening during the RAW decoding process by using the RAW Fine Tuning
Sharpening controls in the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD.
Note: The eect of sharpening an image or group of images using the RAW Fine Tuning
adjustment is very subtle. More sharpening eects can be obtained using the Edge Sharpen
adjustment. For more information about the Edge Sharpen adjustment, see Working with the
Edge Sharpen Controls on page 385.
To adjust the amount of sharpening applied during the RAW decoding process
1 Select a RAW image.
Note: If the RAW Fine Tuning controls do not appear in the Adjustments inspector or the
Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD, the selected image is from a previous version of
Aperture. You must rst reprocess the image using the most current RAW image processing. For
more information, see An Overview of Reprocessing Photos on page 76.
2 Adjust the strength of the sharpening eect using the Sharpening slider and value slider.
Use the Sharpening slider and
value slider to adjust the strength
of the sharpening effect applied
during the RAW decoding process.
A value of 0.00 applies no sharpening eect to the image during the RAW decoding process. A
value greater than 0.00 increases the sharpening eect to the image.
3 Adjust how the sharpening eect is applied to edges using the Detail slider and value slider.
Use the Detail slider and value
slider to adjust how the sharpening
effect is applied to the edges
during the RAW decoding process.
A value greater than 0.00 intensies the sharpening eect on hard edges.
