68 ADVANCED IMAGE PROCESSING
Certain digital cameras, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi, or DiMAGE A1, use a special file
format called Minolta-RAW. This file can only be read and processed by the DiMAGE
Viewer software. To open a RAW file, simply double click on it in the thumbnail display
The open dialog box is used to define the parameters for the image. First the color mode
of the image should be selected; if black and white is chosen, the white-balance and filter
controls are not available.
White balance controls the overall
color of the image. The drop-down
menu automatically applies the
camera setting used when the
image was captured or balances it
to a specific light source. The
preset white-balance settings vary
between camera model.
Click on the manual-setting check
box for fine control over white
balance. The grey-point dropper
tool can be used to balance the
image in reference to a neutral
point within the image area. The
color-temperature and CC index
slider and text box can be used to
enter the color temperature of the
scene when the image was
recorded.
Before adjusting white balance,
set the filter and saturation sliders
to zero (0) so that image color can
be judged accurately.
