Using Camera RAW in Photoshop CS
as Your Digital Darkroom, page 10

Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation

The Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation sliders are pretty self explanatory, they do what they say. If you need more brightness, contrast, or saturation correction after opening the image in Photoshop, you can use the commands on the Image>Adjustments menu.

Adding detail

The Detail tab panel offers three slider bars: Sharpness, Luminescence Smoothing, and Color Noise Reduction as shown in Figure 7.

Detail Tab

Figure 7: Use the Detail tab panel to adjust your photos sharpness and reduce noise.

The Sharpness settings in the Camera Raw interface work pretty well. Usually, I do 10% of the sharpening here and the rest in Photoshop using the powerful Unsharp Mask.

Use the Luminescence Smoothing and the Color Noise Reduction controls to remove noise from your photos. When you use these sliders, the Camera Raw interface tries to keep as much sharpness on the edges as possible, but if you go too far, the photo can become a bit fuzzy. Use these settings with a light touch.
