The Skin Tone white balance tool achieves exact skin tone colors without using a grey reference

Clarity Tool

Use the Clarity Tool to improve hazy images by adjusting local contrast and a small amount of sharpness. The tool now allows negative clarity values, which helps smooth out local contrast in portrait images

By default, the sharpening settings have been configured to provide a good-looking image on a screen and are an excellent basis for your own sharpening adjustments

Overlay

The Overlay tool provides advanced composition assistance. This function is often used to shoot an image that will match a specific layout.
