Hello
A question about the tools and their settings.
There are various controls in the tools, e.g.
Exposure > Exposure > slider from - 4 to + 4.
Are aperture values?
Sharpening > Radius > Controls from 0.2 to 2.5
Are pixels?
White balance > Kelvin > controller from 800 to 14.000
Are Kelvin values?
Which "units" do the others have, e.g.
Exposure > Contrast > Controls from - 50 to + 50
Or:
Clarity > Clarity > Knob from - 100 to + 100
Noise reduction > Brightness > Controls from 0 to + 100
Can anyone say anything?
Or is in www or here a good explanation?

Are aperture values?
They are exposure values (EV). So, +1 adding one EV to the image. Which would be like (only in terms of exposure) opening the aperture one stop or slowing down the shutter speed by one stop.
Sharpening > Radius > Controls from 0.2 to 2.5
Are pixels?
I believe so.
White balance > Kelvin > controller from 800 to 14.000
Are Kelvin values?
Correct
Which "units" do the others have, e.g.
Exposure > Contrast > Controls from - 50 to + 50
Or:
Clarity > Clarity > Knob from - 100 to + 100
Noise reduction > Brightness > Controls from 0 to + 100
I think these are just arbitrary from minimum effect to maximum effect but I don't really know for sure.

Thanks for feedback

You are right. EV is a better explanation.
