Look Profile: Selected among several pre-generated Look Profile or Custom Look Profiles. A Look Profile controls the conversion from linear, RAW data into viewable image data.  There are four default Look Profiles that will render different looks to your images:
Portrait - This Look Profile uses a relatively flat tone curve, and is more gentle on skin and other mid-tones, providing more detail in shadows and highlights
Product - Provides a bit more contrast and saturation that Portrait
Wedding - Very similar to Product, but with more neutral shadows
Event - High saturation optimized for skin tones
Exposure: Adjusts the overall brightness or tone of the image
Highlight: Recovers highlight details and color from over-exposed portions of your image.
Monochromatic Recovery: Forces Highlight Recovery to not attempt to recover color data from over-exposed regions.  Use this option if enabling Highlight Recovery adds unwanted colors to areas that it is recovering.
Fill Light: Recovers shadow details by selectively brightening only the darkest portions of your image
Range: Controls how much of the image should be adjusted by Fill Light.  A small range means only the very darkest portions should be adjusted, while a large number will brighten more of the mid-tones.
Fill Dropdown: Sets the contrast applies to the recovered shadow values.
