Highlight controller function controls color creation in highlight area. Tarea, where one of color components (R, G, or B) is saturated. There are several types of controls. The "Saturation/Tone" and the Saturation/Hue" controls impact on the area where at least one of color components is saturated. The "Restoration" control restores the lightness of the area that was saturated wrongly at filming with under exposure bias adjustment.  
 
If you set it larger value, you can make smooth gradation of highlight area or make detail expression of highlight area. Please remember that you cannot use this function for overexposure scenes. If you would like to make full use of this function, please take a photograph with a little underexposure and use "Exposure bias" function of SILKYPIX. This technique provides you enough information of highlight gradation, and you can freely adjust highlight gradation with this function. If you use FinePix S3Pro with WIDE mode, you need not take a photograph with underexposure because it records about +2EV enough highlight information.

[Emphasis on Saturation/Tone]
[Emphasis on Saturation/Hue]Saturation/Tone controls the priority of saturation or tone to create colors in the highlight area.
The following pictures were developed based on the RAW data with highlight area (flowers). They were developed with saturation, tone, or intermediate between Saturation/Tone. "Saturation" emphasizes the colors of the flowers, and "Tone" controls the highlight area effectively to express the glare of the reflected light.
After giving priority to saturation with the "Saturation/Tone" slider, you can also control the priority of saturation or hue to finish development process. As shown below, since R value (red) of the orange flower in orange was saturated, the hue of the highlight area became yellowish. In such case, emphasize the hue with the "Saturation/Hue" slider to prevent reverse of the hue. This process is also effective for the highlight area of skin, which has become yellow.
