White balance

White balance can be set to the common camera settings of:

As shot
Auto
Default (D65 lamp)
Tungsten
Daylight
Fluorescent
Shade
Flash
Cloudy

Exposure correction

Exposure correction can be adjusted between +/-2 in steps of 1/3.

Preserve highlights

Preserve highlights can be set between 0 and 1 in steps of 0.1, it only works when 'blown' highlights are present in the image.

Gamma

People are good at seeing shadow detail but less good at highlights, gamma can alter an image so that details in shadows can be preserved. Gamma can be set to:

BT.709 is gamma of 2.4 and generally used for HD TV.
Linear is a gamma of 1 and is used by digital cameras.
sRGB is gamma of 2.2 and is used generally for computer screens.

Brightness

Makes the image brighter, naturally.

Can be adjusted between +/-10 in 0.1 steps.

Output colour space

Output Colour can be set to:

RAW
sRGB
Adobe
Wide

XYZ

Set as default

Save the current settings as a default to be applied to all images in the current project.

If you save the project settings 'as default' from the menu then these settings become the default for all new projects with RAW files.

Reset

Reset: to either jAlbum initial conditions or the project's default.
