Nikon D700

Picture Effects Mode (8.50)
As mentioned in the Custom Image Presets section, the Nikon Picture Control System offers four shooting settings, Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome, each of which can be fine-tuned for sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation ad hue with anal retentive precision. What’s more, these settings can be saved to a memory card and copied from compatible camera to camera (the D3 and D300 use the same Picture Control System format), so you can tweak every Nikon in your collection to the same image settings in an instant.

Both the sRGB color space and Adobe RGB are supported by the D700. Ordinarily the default sRGB is the right choice, but for files to be used in a commercial printing environment, or subject to extensive retouching, the more in-depth Adobe format is preferred.

Additional image adjustment tools are available in the Retouch Menu. D-Lighting, a dyanamic range enhancement system similar to the Active D-Lighting option offered while shooting, After choosing a stored image, the display shows side-by-side before-and-after thumbnails displaying the relative effects of low, normal or high D-Lighting processing.

In-camera red-eye fix and image cropping are available. Monochrome processing, in black-and-white, sepia and cyanotype, are also available in the Retouch menu, with adjustable lightness and darkness for the sepia and cyanotype effects.  Filter Effects digitally mimic the impact of a skylight or warm filter. The Color Balance option allows adjustments along the red, green and blue axes viewing a thumbnail image and individual histograms, though the thumbnail is too small to make this a very practical tool.

Finally, the image overlay option combines two images shot in NEF (RAW) format, with user control over the relative gain of each component photo.
