Show Lost Shadows
The Show Lost Shadows feature identi-
fies areas in which detail may have
been lost in the shadow areas by locat-
ing pixels with the minimum value for
one or more channels. This information
can be used when adjusting the tonal-
ity of the image, such as when applying
black points, to ensure that the optimal
amount of detail is retained within the
image.
By enabling the Show Lost Shadows
command, the entire image will become
white while displaying any areas that
contain minimum values for one or
more channels. Only those areas in
which the channels contain a minimum
value will be displayed within the image
window when this option is enabled.
That is, only the pixels that contain a
value of 0 will be displayed for each of
the three channels.
The resulting image will contain black,
primary, and secondary colors only. The
following table describes values these
colors represent:
Black
This area contains values
of 0 for the Red, Green,
and Blue channels.
Blue
This area contains values
of 0 for the Red and Green
channels.
Green
