pull-down Menu. By default, all three
channels (Red, Green, and Blue) are
displayed. When all three channels
are displayed, individual Red, Green,
and Blue histograms are superimposed
over one another. Where the individual
histograms overlap, secondary colors
are displayed. Areas that are white
contain pixel values of all three colors
at that value.
You may also choose to display only
the Red, Green, or Blue histograms
individually.
You can select an area of the histo-
gram which will cause the pixels from
the selected range to blink within
the image window. To select a range,
simply drag the mouse over the histo-
gram display. Click Clear to cancel the
current selection. Alternatively, you can
manually indicate a starting value as
well as an ending value for this range
by typing the corresponding pixel values
into the Start and End text boxes.
Please note
: Values for the differ-
ent channels range from 0 to 255, with
values for 12 and 16-bit images being
scaled to fit in this range.

in the image. Drag the shadow slider
to the right to begin displaying dark
pixels (displayed as black pixels on the
background). Dragging the highlight
slider to the left will cause light pixels
(displayed as white pixels on the
background) will begin to be displayed.
This feature is typically used to assist
you with locating the lightest and
darkest items for placing white and
black points (either Control Points or
points from within the Levels & Curves
feature). It is recommended that you
drag the sliders towards the center only
