edits may result in loss of detail). Options that can not be applied to the current image are

grayed out and unavailable.

processing, and Stop-motion movie, copies created from JPEG images are the same size

and quality as the original, while copies created from NEF (RAW) photos are saved as large

fine-quality JPEG images. Time stamps added with Custom Setting d6 (Date imprint;
