In most cases, Photo Ninja can accurately measure and correct LCA without user intervention and with excellent results. Chromatic aberration correction: Photo Ninja can remove color fringing due to lateral chromatic aberration (LCA).You can photograph a ColorChecker reference chart and use the profiling facility to create a custom light source profile quickly.

Built-in daylight profiles are available for a large number of cameras but are in need improvement in my opinion.

Color correction: Photo Ninja includes simple controls for setting the white balance in an image.It utilizes the light source profiles to improve the overall accuracy of colors.

Subtle split toning can be useful for warming or cooling an image or improving separation of elements. Split-tone colorization can map shadows to one color and highlights to another, with blended colors for intermediate tones. There is also hue-specific control for fine tuning that uses varying the relative lightness of particular color ranges. The base conversions simulate the use of color filters in traditional black-and-white film.

Black and White conversion: create monochrome images from inside the RAW editor.

You can also set it to negative amounts, for a smoothing effect in portraits The effect can quickly look over-processed, so be careful with this slider.

Detail enhancement: boosts or smooths micro-contrast in an image.

This without flattening detail or halo artifacts. Photo Ninja includes an efficient adaptive lighting engine that can pull detail from shadows, overcome backlighting, tame aggressive highlights, and compress excessive contrast. You can brighten shadows, turn down highlights, and change contrast.

Adaptive lighting: A feature set you’ll find in all RAW developers.

Automatic overexposure compensation: reconstruction of missing data in overexposed areas.There are some things that Photo Ninja is good at, and others where I’d say it’s as good as any other RAW developer.
