|
|
·To delete a control point, drag it outside the graph. ·The horizontal axis of the graph is the "Input" value (original brightness) and the vertical axis is the "Output" value (brightness after adjustment). ·This graph displays the volume of the dark areas (left side) and bright areas (right side) as mountain-like peaks. Adjust the tone curve while checking the balance of the original image in the histogram. |
Level Correction
Adjusts the contrast of an image using the histogram.
|
(1) Channel |
Select the channel to adjust the levels. The available channels depend on the selected color profile. |
|
(2) Histogram |
This graph displays the volume of the dark areas (left side) and bright areas (right side) as mountain-like peaks. |
|
(3) Shadows |
This controls the darkest parts of the image. The [Shadows] control point is usually the furthest left under the histogram. |
|
(4) Midtones |
This controls the midtones of the image. |
|
(5) Highlights |
This controls the brightest parts of the image. The [Highlights] control point is usually the furthest right under the histogram. |
|

This controls the darkest parts of the image. |
|
(7) Highlights output |
This controls the brightest parts of the image. |
