DiMAGE Master uses a new 3-D lookup table (3D-LUT) technology to bring out the full potential of RAW data. This differs from the usual cookie-cutter method of uniformly processing image data by processing each data point through a three-dimensional model of the camera's CCD response. This optimizes image quality and color reproduction of the RAW data. DiMAGE Master provides a complete suite of RAW processing tools so you can create beautiful images.
RAW data contains the maxium amount of information the camera CCD can capture. At 12-bit and no loss of data through compression, RAW gives a real advantage over standard 8-bit JEPG images. The DiMAGE Master RAW processing tools bring out the full potential of the RAW data and gives complete control over image quality and reproduction.
Color Space Selection allows you to specify the color space of the processed RAW data. As well as standard color spaces, the DiMAGE Master can use the color space specified by the camera's color mode or specific ICC profiles for output devices such as printers. DiMAGE Master allows you to confirm the model camera used to record the image as well as the color space used by the camera*.
The ICC profile for Konica Minolta Inkjet Paper QP is for various popular inkjet printers, and it is included in DiMAGE Master. Using Konica Minotla inkjet paper with DiMAGE Master makes obtaining professional-quality prints simple.
In addition to manual tone-curve corrections, ten preset tone curves can be selected to solve basic problems with contrast and brightness. Simply select the appropriate curve and the results are immediately displayed in the preview image. These curves can be adjusted manually if needed. A histogram allows data to be optimized for reproduction and an exposure-compensation slider controls brightness.

The overall color of an image can be set by preset white-balance options or by directly inputting color-temperature and CC-index values. In complicated lighting conditions (mixed light sources, etc.), a new sampling tool allows the color balance of multiple points in the image to be averaged to create the best possible result. The Auto Precision Analysis option creates beautifilly balanced images quickly and efficiently. All these tools frees you in the field to capture the perfect moment without the need to worry over technical issues.

Sharpness is controlled with a simple slider, unsharp mask, or spatial frequency filtering. Spatial frequency filtering allows sharpness adjustments to be made at specific spatial frequencies. Preset spacial frequency filtering settings are available to sharpen or soften an image as well as to apply a soft-focus effect.

In the same way as using an LB or CC filter when taking a picture, the overall color of an image can be adjusted to achieve a natural, balanced appearance or accentuated for a creative effect. Black and white images can be toned in a range of hues with different levels of saturation. Digital contrast filters can also be applied to black and white images to simulate red, orange, yellow, green, and blue filtering in traditional black and white photography.
When converting RAW data into multi-platform TIFF or JPEG formats, the color space of the image can be specifed. Ten standard color spaces are available. The gamut of the selected color space can be displayed. DiMAGE Master can also use specific ICC profiles for output devices such as printers.

If dust on the CCD has affected the RAW data, it can be removed using a dust reference image* and DiMAGE Master dust removal processing.
