Gray Level eyedropper Maps the sampled tone to a medium gray (level 128). This changes the intensity values of the
middle range of gray tones without dramatically altering the highlights and shadows. You can also click the color
swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the medium gray in the image.
White Level eyedropper Maps the sampled tone to the setting of the White Output slider. Click an area in the
Program Monitor that you want to be the lightest value in the image. You can also click the color swatch to open the
Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the lightest highlight in the image.
Black Input Level slider Maps the input black level to the setting of the Black Output slider. By default, the Output
black slider is set to 0, where the pixels are completely black. If you’ve adjusted the Black Output to 7.5 IRE or higher,
the darkest shadow will be mapped to that level.
Gray Input Level slider Controls the midtones and changes the intensity values of the middle range of gray tones
without dramatically altering the highlights and shadows.
White Input Level slider Maps the input white level to the setting of the White Output slider. By default, the Output
white slider is set to 255, where the pixels are completely white. If you’ve adjusted the White Output to 100 IRE or
lower, the lightest highlight will be mapped to that level.
Note: You can also adjust the Input and Output levels by scrubbing the underlined text or typing a value for Input Black
Level, Input Gray Level, Input White Level, Output Black Level, and Output White Level.
