PowerColor User Guide
The Highlight and Shadow fields allow you to specify the Diffused Highlight and
Shadow settings for Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. When setting your Highlight and
Shadow points manually or with Auto Range, the values displayed in these fields
will be used. For more on setting Highlight and Shadow points see page 5-13.
The Catch Light Angle section allows you to define the angle between the diffused
highlight and the specular highlight. The default setting for Angle is 45°.
The Cast Removal drop-down menu at the bottom of the CMY Tone window
allows you to set automatic cast removal for the highlights and shadows as fol-
lows: Full, Half, Manual, or None. By selecting Manual cast removal, you can
define the density values or dot percentages for highlight and shadow on the
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow plates in the appropriate editable field or by selecting
the curve you wish to edit and moving the highlight or shadow anchor point up
or down.
Note:
Click on the
Dot %
or
Density
radio button
to display values in those units.
Using the Gray Eyedropper to Set Neutral Points
The Gray eyedropper, found in the Control Bar, is unique in that it can set multi-
ple points. This is useful in correcting cast along multiple tones in your image.
Gray points are made up from the quarter tone, midtone, and three-quarter tone
regions. To select multiple points, hold the Option key (Macintosh) or Control
key (Windows) down while selecting each point. Before you select the last point,
release the Option or Control key and click on the point. The tool is then deselect-
ed automatically.
