Graphic formats for saving files with Nikon Editor
Nikon Editor can save files in the following graphic formats:
TIFF
Use TIFF when saving images for high-quality output or publishing.
Although the lack of compression will result in larger files, image
quality will be maintained at a high level. TIFF also preserves the
ICC profile and caption information. This format is supported by a
wide variety of applications on a variety of platforms. In addition,
RAW images can be save in 16-bit TIFF.
JPEG
This file type is adequate for images that will be output at low
resolution for Web pages. Compression allows more images to be
saved in the same amount of disk space while preserving the ICC
profile and caption information. Note, however, that JPEG
compression results in loss of image information that can not
afterwards be restored. Save files at the lowest compression ratio
possible; if necessary, you can always save them again at a lower
compression ratio. Exif is an extension of the JPEG format that
allows thumbnail data and information about the image to be
included in a JPEG file.
Saving Image files
Editing with Nikon Editor cannot reflect on media such as hard disk
or CD-R/W until the file is saved. If you quit Nikon Editor without
saving the file, editing is not added to the file.
Image files saved in Nikon Editor
Image files saved in Nikon Editor cannot be viewed on a camera.
File Type Compression Extension

TIFF (CMYK)

Save selection
Nikon Editor can be used to save only the part of the image
selected by the Crop Cursor.
To use the Crop Cursor, click the Crop Cursor button in the Quick
Tools Palette or select Crop Cursor from the View menu.
When the Crop Cursor is selected the mouse pointer will change
to a cross.
To specify a selection, drag the Crop Cursor over the desired area
of the image. The dotted line which appears indicates the selected
area. To cancel the selection specified by the Selection Cursor,
double-click on the image. To move the selection, place the mouse
pointer within the selection and drag it. To scale the selection, click
and hold the handle (dotted line) to drag it.
Important
If you save the file while specifying the selection by the Crop
Cursor, the selected part of image is lost in the saved file. Once the
file is saved, you cannot restore the original image and so take
care fully when saving the edited file.
Selecting the Crop Cursor, Zoom Cursor or Grab

The Selection Cursor, Zoom Cursor and Grab Cursor can not be
selected concurrently. These three tools can only be used one at a
time.

within a group. For example, if one image requires a white balance
adjustment because the original white balance was incorrect, then
all other images that were taken in the same location may be
corrected by simply copying and then pasting the settings to the
other images.

Adjusting color balance
The Red, Green and Blue sliders allow you to control color
balance by individually altering the brightness of each color
channel. For example, if you drag the Red slider towards the "+"
mark, the red channel will increase in brightness, and the image
will take on a reddish cast. If you drag the Red slider towards the "-
" mark, the red channel will decrease in brightness, brining out the
Cyan. There is the same relationship between the green slider and
magenta and between the blue slider and yellow.
Numerical Values for Color Balance Sliders
Numerical values in the palette's text boxes change as you drag
the sliders. Inserting numbers directly into the text boxes has the
same effect as dragging the sliders.
RAW Adjustments
The RAW Adjustments palette allows you to make simple
changes to images in RAW (NEF) format.
Exposure compensation
Use the Exposure comp. slider to adjust exposure compensation
in steps of 1/3 EV, from -2.0 to +2.0. When the slider is set to zero,
the exposure compensation will be set to the value chosen when
the photograph was taken.

Appendix A : Standard RGB Profiles Supported in Nikon Editor
A.1 Profiles with a Gamma Value of 1.8
Apple RGB
This profile is used in desk-top publishing applications and in
Adobe Photoshop versions 4.0 or earlier, and is the typical RGB
profile for Macintosh monitors. The corresponding RGB setting in
Adobe Photoshop is "Apple RGB." This profile is suitable for
working with images displayed on the Macintosh.
ColorMatch RGB
The ColorMatch profile is native to Radius PressView monitors. It
has a wider gamut than Apple RGB, with a particularly wide area
devoted to the reproduction of blues. The corresponding RGB
setting in Adobe Photoshop is "Color Match RGB."
A.2 Profiles with a Gamma Value of 2.2
sRGB
This RGB profile is used in the majority of Windows monitors. It
closely resembles the RGB commonly used in color television, and
is also used in the digital television broadcasting system that is on
its way to becoming the industry standard in the United States of
America. Software and hardware manufacturers use it as a default
color profile and guarantee operation when it used. It is also on its
way to becoming the standard for images on the web. This profile
is suited to users who plan to use their digital images "as is,"
without editing or printing them. It however suffers from the
drawback of a narrow gamut with a limited area available for
reproducing blues. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe
Photoshop 5.0 and 5.5 is "sRGB," the corresponding setting in
Adobe Photoshop 6.0 "sRGB IWC61966-2.1."
Bruce RGB
This color profile attempts to expand on the ColorMatch RGB
gamut by defining the chromaticity for G as lying between the
values for G in the Adobe RGB and ColorMatch color-space
profiles. It was proposed by Bruce Fraser, who claims that it
includes most of the colors in the SWOP CMYK gamut. The R and
B used in the Bruce RGB and Adobe RGB color-space profiles
match.
NTSC (1953)
This is the color space for video defined by the National Television
Standards Committee (NTSC) in 1953 and used in early color
televisions. This color space is also used in some Far-East
newspaper and printing organizations. The corresponding RGB
setting in Adobe Photoshop is "NTSC (1953).
Adobe RGB (1998)
A color-space profile defined in Adobe Photoshop 5.0. It has a
wider gamut than sRGB and includes the colors found in most
CMYK gamuts, making it suitable for users involved in desktop
publishing. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop
5.0 is "SMPTE-240M," the corresponding setting in Adobe
Photoshop 5.5 or later "Adobe RGB (1998)."
CIE RGB
A video color-space profile established by the Commission
Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE). While it boasts a fairly wide
gamut, it suffers from the drawback that the area devoted to the
reproduction of cyan is relatively small. The corresponding RGB
setting in Adobe Photoshop is "CIE RGB."
325
Wide Gamut RGB
This color-space profile, designed by Adobe, incorporates most of
the visible colors. This however has the consequence that most of
the colors it can express can not be reproduced on standard
monitors and printers. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe
Photoshop 5.0 or later is "Wide Gamut RGB."
The gamut of colors that can be expressed in the above color-
space profiles is shown in the following chromaticity (x, y) graph.
The greater the area enclosed by the triangle that represents the
color-space profile, the wider its gamut.

untitled (OS X:NO_NAME) volume. Opening this volume will
reveal the folder DCIM, which holds further folders (for example,
100NIKON) containing images taken with the camera. Note that
memory cards formatted on a D100 will appear on the desktop not
as an untitled volume, but as a volume labeled NIKON D100.
