You can adjust images with the tool palette by switching between the
[RAW], [RGB], [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tab sheets according to your
editing requirements.
The [RGB] tool palette functions are the same as ordinary image editing
software, such as tone curve adjustment that is explained here, with
which you can adjust RAW images.
However, because the adjustment width of the functions in the [RGB]
tool palette is wider than the [RAW] tool palette, the image color may be
saturated, or the image quality may deteriorate if you adjust too much.
Therefore we recommend for functions other than tone curve
adjustment

(p.58)

and automatic adjustment

(p.33)

, that you adjust

images using the same functions available in the [RAW] tool palette.
See Chapter 5 for explanations on functions of the [RGB] tool palette
other than tone curve adjustment.

About the RGB Tool Palette

We recommend that as a general principle you edit RAW images using
the [RAW] tool palette. However, where the adjustment width with the
[RAW] tool palette is not wide enough and you wish to use the special
functions in the [RGB] tool palette, we recommend that you adjust your
images at the necessary lowest limit with the [RGB] tool palette after
having completed basic adjustment with the [RAW] tool palette.
Use the adjustment function of the [NR/ALO] and [LENS] tool palette

(p.129)

when applying the Auto Lighting Optimizer

(p.61)

, reducing

noise

(p.62)

or correcting aberration

(p.63)

after you have made any

required adjustments with the [RAW] and [RGB] tool palettes.
