Figure 6-10: Display the Adjustments panel to tweak Raw images before conversion.

4. Use the panel controls to adjust your image.

The preview you see in the image window reflects the default conversion settings chosen by Nikon, but you can play with any of the settings as you see fit. If you need help understanding any of the options, open the built-in help system (via the Help menu), where you can find descriptions of how each adjustment affects your image.

To return to the original image settings, click the Reset button at the bottom of the panel, labeled in Figure 6-10.

5. Click the Save button. (Refer to Figure 6-10.)

This step stores your conversion settings as part of the image file but doesn’t actually create your processed image file. Don’t worry, though. Your original Raw data remains intact; what’s saved with the file is a recipe for processing the image, which you can change at any time.

6. To save the processed file, choose File⇒Convert Files.

You see the Convert Files dialog box, shown in Figure 6-11.

7. Select TIFF(8 Bit) from the File Format drop-down list.

TIFF is the best format because it retains your processed file at the highest image quality. (This format has long been the preferred format for print publication.) Don’t choose JPEG; as explained in Chapter 2, the JPEG format applies lossy compression, thereby sacrificing some image quality. If you need a JPEG copy of your processed Raw image for online sharing — TIFF files won’t work for that use — you can create one by following the steps laid out in the upcoming section “Prepping online photos using ViewNX 2.”
