The sliders are easy to use yet give exceptional control over image correction features. Brightness: Controls the lightness and darkness of the image. [. . . ] This allows you to move the points individually without affecting the others. Locking the anchor points is useful for fine-tuning the gradation curve. Remember that adjustments in the gradation curve change the input-to-output tonal compression. For example, moving the three-quarter tone point down expands the shadow area of the image by starting the three-quarter tone range at a lower optical density. Color The Color option in the RGB Control window provides control over high chroma (saturated) and low chroma (pastel) in all primary and secondary colors independently. Use the Color Selection color wheel to select the individual color to be corrected. [. . . ]
