Show Lost Highlights
The Show Lost Highlights feature identi-
fies areas in which detail may have been
lost in the highlights by locating pixels
with the maximum value for one or more
channels. This information can be used
when adjusting the tonality of the image,
such as when applying white points, to
ensure that the optimal amount of detail
is retained within the image.
When you enable the Show Lost
Highlights command, the entire image
will become black while displaying any
areas that contain maximum values
for one or more channels. Only those
areas that contain maximum values will
be displayed within the image window
when this option is enabled. That is,
only the pixels that contain a value of
255 will be displayed for each of the
three channels.
The resulting image will contain white,
primary, and secondary colors only. The
following table describes values these
colors represent:
White
This area contains values
of 255 for the Red, Green,
and Blue channels.
Yellow
This area contains values
of 255 for the Red and
Green channel.
Magenta

of 255 for the Red and
Blue channels.

the brightening effect and prevent
