• Smooth Highlights: Reduces the contrast enhancements in the
highlights. The value of the slider sets how much of the highlights
range is aected. This control is useful for preventing white
highlights from turning grey or uniform light blue skies becoming
dark blue-grey. It is also useful for reducing halos around objects
placed against bright backgrounds. The default value is 0.
• White Point – Black Point: These sliders control how the minimum
and maximum values of the tone mapped image are set. Moving
the sliders to the right increases global contrast. Moving them to
the left reduces clipping at the extremes. The White Point slider
sets the value for the maximum of the tone mapped. The Black
Point slider sets the value for the minimum of the tone mapped
image.

• Saturation Shadows: Adjusts the color saturation of the shadows
relative to the color saturation set with the Color Saturation slider. Values higher than zero increase the color
saturation in the shadows. Values lower than zero decrease it. The default value is 0.
• Shadows Smoothness: Reduces the contrast enhancements in the shadows. The value of the slider sets
how much of the shadows range is aected. The default value is 0.
• Shadows Clipping: The value of the slider sets how much of the shadows range is clipped. This control may
be useful to cut out noise in the dark area of a photo taken in a low-light situation. The default value is 0.
• 360º image: Checking this option eliminates the seam between the left and right sides of a panorama
viewed in a 360º panoramic viewer. The seam would otherwise show because Details Enhancer takes
into account local contrast, assigning dierent tonal values to the right and left parts of the image. The
default value is unchecked. Note that this option is not enabled when the image is in portrait mode, as
the option is intended for panoramas.
The default value is 0.25% for the White Point setting and 0% for the Black Point setting.
• Gamma: Adjusts the mid-tone of the tone mapped image, brightening or darkening the image globally. The
default value is 1.0.
• Temperature: Adjusts the color temperature of the tone mapped image relative to the temperature of the HDR
source image. Move the slider to the right to give a warmer, more yellow-orange colored look. Move the slider to
the left for a colder, more bluish look. A value of 0 (default) preserves the original color temperature of the HDR
source image.
Advanced Options
• Micro-smoothing: Smoothes local detail enhancements. This has
the eect of reducing noise in the sky, for instance, and tends to
give a “cleaner” look to the resulting image. The default value is 2.
Important note: The Loupe may not properly show the eect of the
Micro-smoothing setting when the area magnied is uniform. If
you want to see the eect of the Micro-smoothing setting at 100%
resolution on a uniform area such as the sky, you will have to select
an area that contains an object in the scene in addition to the sky.
• Saturation Highlights: Adjusts the color saturation of the highlights
relative to the color saturation set with the Color Saturation slider.
Values higher than 0 increase the color saturation in the highlights.
Values lower than 0 decrease it. The default value is 0.
