The pointer changes to the Loupe, showing a magnied view of the target area. By default, the
Loupe is set to magnify the image to 100 percent (full size). If necessary, you can increase the
magnication of the Loupe by pressing Shift–Command–Plus Sign (+). For more information,
see Loupe overview on page 181.

The tint (hue and saturation) of the black values in the image is set to remove the color cast in
the shadows.
Important: Make sure that there are no bright pixels in the target area of the Loupe. Bright
pixels in the target area can skew the Black Tint calculation, making the image look dierent
than intended. A simple way to avoid errant bright pixels is to increase the magnication of the
Loupe by choosing an increased magnication level from the Loupe pop-up menu. For more
information, see Loupe overview
on page 181.
