5
00:00:53
The Camera Raw dialog box appears same as the Develop module in Lightroom.

6
00:01:01
I'l use the Highlights slider (-100). So that the brightest brights will darken up and show more detail.

7
00:01:13
I'l use the Shadows slider (+100). It will make shadows brighter, so you can recover details in too dark places.

8
00:01:22
It gives extremely natural HDR effect and can bring out just as much detail as tonemapping.

9
00:01:33
Raise white slider (+30) little bit. Slide it to the right to increase highlights clipping (same as levels).

10
00:01:48
Lower black slider (-40) little bit. Slide it to the left to increase shadow clipping.

11
00:02:01
Keep Clarity (+30). It adds depth to a photography by increasing local contrast.

12
00:02:14
Keep Vibrance (+50). To turn up the strength of the colors without adding a lot of color casting.

13
00:02:27
Tune temperature slider (-10) to the left, the image will become cooler.

14
00:02:38
Use the tint slider (+4) by moving it to the right, this will add little bit magenta.

15
00:03:02
Now let's look at sharpening the image.

16
00:03:10
Keep Amount: 90. This is the basic control that amount sharpening applied to your image.

17
00:03:21
Keep Radius: 1.0. A setting of 1 affects only that particular pixel.

18
00:03:27
Keep Detail: 30. This is the fine adjustment tool to add fine detail to the sharpening process.

19
00:03:37
Keep Masking: 40. It will back off any over sharpening in less detailed regions of the image.

20
00:03:49
The Noise Reduction section has controls for reducing image noise.

21
00:03:56
Keep Luminance: 20 to reduces luminance noise with details set to 50.

22
00:04:06
Color Noise Reduction slider will be set to 25 with Detail and Smoothness set at 50 for all images.
